I could never get into either of those. Rocko's Modern Life kicked major ass though.
never saw much of that show. I got major laughs out of ren and stimpy and later invader zim.
Rocko was the truest successor to Ren&Stimpy in both style, humor, and insanity.
I like Heifer the best. Giant yellow cows are kewl.
anyone remember the ripping friends?

I couldn't even try to watch that show. It just looked so awful.
It was great. like the episode where the living underwear took over the body of a superman spoof 'pooper man'.
Underwear: Here I go I'm riding up Pooper man!
It was beyond nasty. Yet funny.
This looks like a job for... POOO-PER MAN! XD[/quote]

Followed by "Panties of the Day."
Speaking of which, I went with a couple of my friends...and a girl in my group bought a black thong. Very akward, yet somewhat awesome. Abd then we ate tacos. What a strange day I've had.

Okay, so some guy on my band trip went and bought a woman's thong, and wore it. Scary stuff, that was.

I can't play a bongo drum let alone a snare drum! I'd probably lose my grip on the stick and poke someone's eye out

I was in band for a while. I quit after the teacher refused to do anything about the trumpet guy who liked to kick me in the head.

I don't think anything is as competitive as Band. Back in the day. (IE Middle School) I played Alto Sax in the Concert band and Tenor in the Jazz band. Every three weeks we had to play a piece of music to determine which chair you were. Normally it came down to Me, My friend Justin, and this Uppity girl Shawna. She generally got 1st chair and myself and Justin swapped 2nd and 3rd alot. A week prior to the big concert of the year I beat her out for first chair and she cried. hahaha
Good times.
I need to get the pads and cork on my saxophone replaced now that I think about it.

Eh Drummers really are the lowest form of Musician. hahaha Minus Triangle players. Although that falls under percussion so it's in the same family.

That's right. They would've watered down my Disney World experience, so me and my nice brother-like friend divorced them and hung out with the loudest, most obnoxious people. Way more fun.
