During Dracoid and the Noblet's formative years I must've sat through hours of cartoons and other kids' programmes.

Their favoUrite, and my most hated was "Postman Pat".

Now I've found a version that makes up for all the tedium.

Note - Needs Audio, and NWS

Postman Pat

Not having seen Postman Pat before, I must say I love it!

I was always partial to GI Joe myself.

Knowing is half the battle.

I miss Thundercats, She-ra, He-man, Jem, and Dungeons and Dragons. They actually had a little D&D marathon on some channel the other night and I caught a couple episodes. I really wanted to have a Uni when I was little.

I never missed an episode of Voltron.

I was also a big fan of 3-2-1 Contact!

3-2-1 Contact
Three, Two, One, contact!

Contact is the secret,
It's the moment when everything happens.

Contact is the answer,
It's the reason why everything happens.

Let's Make Contact!

Three, Two, One, contact!


I also liked the Electric Factory.

HEY YOU GUYS!
We're gonna turn it on, we're gonna bring you the power
We're gonna light up the dark of night, like the brightest day, in a whole new way
We're gonna turn it on, we're gonna bring you the power
We're coming down the line, strong as we can be, through the courtesy
Of the Electric Company! The Electric Company! The Electric Company!

Thanks, now I have Electric Avenue stuck in my head.

She-ra, He-man,


HAHA, I remember buying the She-Ra toy so that I could play with it with my He-Man toys.... I was so embarrased that I kept making statements (while in line) about how I hoped that my sister would like her birthday present (I'm an only child)
Smiley: lol
I think my mother thought I was going to turn out gay wehn she saw me buy that.

I used to watch Jem too Smiley: dubious

I never had the She-Ra figurine, just the He-man set (complete with the bad guy with the different faces!). So, Skeletor used to kidnap my barbies alot and He-Man would have to go save them. They didn't do well wit riding on Battlecat though because their legs don't bend. I mean, didn't. Yeah, didn't. Smiley: glare

As younger siblings tend to do, my poor brother wanted me to play together with him and due to this, would let me always be the good guy. Whenever we played Heman, he had to be mean old Skeletor. When I finally got She-Ra, shed kick He Mans *** like there was no tomorrow. It was so bad that when My Little Ponies started coming out with male ponies he had to have them so we could play together. I feel bad now as an adult, thinking of the hell I put my brother through

That linked parody of "Postman Pat" was so mind numbingly painful to watch.. you must REALLY hate the real version to enjoy seeing that!

Anyhow, off to watch Cartoon Network. What's on? I don't know, it's all good! (So long as it's not Postman Pat).

Peace.
