Two gems...

[livejournal.com profile] ginkgo has made two stellar utterances in the past 24 hrs that need to be shared.

Cartoon Network Adult Swim has... broken mold... and is now showing Saved By The Bell at midnight, M-Th.

No, I'm not kidding. Saved By The Bell. From episode 1. I thought it had to be a joke, but they're doing it. Like a train wreck, we had to watch last night, and [livejournal.com profile] ginkgo noted that really, it's just live-action anime.

She is DEAD ON. Look at the characters, the hairstyles, the camera work, the stories... it's frickin' anime, live-action.

Most disturbingly, my revulsion levels plummeted, and suddenly it's kind of an interesting thing to watch in a cultural analysis sort of way.


Then tonight, we were looking at Bob's collar, and noticed that the holes in her old rabies tag were full of... chum. Wet cat food. Nasty smelling crap. So while I was pulling the old tag, but leaving the bell, the reflector tag, and the new rabies tag, [livejournal.com profile] ginkgo remarked "What, you don't want pink in the tink?"

Most disturbingly, I'm still going to sleep in the bed next to her tonight.

Wow, I remember when I was a preteen and early teens Saved By the Bell reruns were on 8 times a day, on various channels, so that, should one want to, one could watch it from 2:30-6:30 straight every single weekday.

*twitch* That's just... like fingernails Skreeching down a blackboard.

(Sorry.)

(No I'm not.)

Yes, yes I am.

Obviously that would be one of the more boring animes, with no swords, martial arts, etc. Or tentacles. :p

Your wife is strange, but you knew that. And that's probably one of the big reasons you married her. Smart man. ;)

I ar smahrt. :)

One person I was discussing this with said that Saved By The Bell would have been *vastly* improved with either a good dose of yaoui, or tentacles. I can't say I disagree.

Anyone want to film a remake? :D

Bahaha! Your question is vastly funnier to me for reasons I think you can fathom. :D

[identity profile] kickaha.livejournal.com 2006-04-20 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That was the intent. ;)

Curse your pre-my-comments intelligence! I can't show off my subtle genius if you already know what I'm thinking. :p

I may have to poke you in the head with something sharp so I can feel smarter. :p
