View Full Version : Sylvester & Penny's Possible "Club"

Sylvester and I are thinking of starting a message board to discuss all cartoons in general (Warner Brothers, Disney, anime, whatever), but we need a good title. So far I've come up with Toon Talk, but that's actually already taken and kinda copyrighted, in a way, by a friend of Keeper's (my boyfriend). So, we need some ideas for titles from you guys, as well as whether or not any of you would be interested in joining if and when this happens.
So, post your ideas for titles and opinions on how interested you'd be in the idea, and I'll gather the titles together and put them all to a vote, and title with the most votes wins. :)
Gee, that looked confusing. Did that look confusing to you? :rolleyes:

Now that's a good idea, but to make it a true tabby trifecta (vive l'alliteration!), you might wanna see if Furrball wants in on it. Say the word & I'll check with him, see if he's interested.

But hey, if we do another issue of The Looney Bin, maybe "Kitty Korner" came be a section for myself, Sylvester, and Furrball. :)

I've written down what suggestions have been given so far (except "kitty korner" :p). I'm going to wait a few weeks and see who else comes up with ideas and then I'll put them all to a vote. :)

Errrm.... I like your idea, but Toonzone already has a general animation board. Just look down in the World's Finest area... we talk about all sorts of random animated bits there, and I'm sure everyone else would be happy to have you (I know I would).
PennyCat
05-07-2001, 03:48 PM
Yeah, that doesn't mean Sylvester and I can't come up with our own too, right? Besides, there are certain people here (not naming any names) that won't let us discuss the "D-word" here because it's a WB board, and we feel that we need to make up a place that's more open.

Hey, I like me some D-word! They make some fascinating insights into internal combustion... wait, you weren't talking about internal Daihatsu videos? Dang.
Actually, I like D*sney pretty well myself, on a movie by movie basis, at least (loved TENG, Tarzan was okay, but I think the Lion King was a wee bit overrated). And there are others at the current animation board who do too. In fact, there's no real WB bias over there... take a look-see, you'll see a variety of toons being talked about. Yep, even D*sney ones, even though I had to fight to get some people to give TENG a second glance... not to mention the fact that there's people on _this_ board who regularly review House of Mouse.
I miss me some Darkwing Duck, personally...

EGAD! I hope I haven't given the impression that I didn't want Disney matters discussed on the forum by the few times I spelt Disney with an asterisk. I guess I was coping it the way I saw a few others spell it. Oh, well.
Anyway, I've had a liking for Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Wonder if that sequel will ever be made.

I dunno where you got that idea, Penny. What with discussion & reviews of every ep of House of Mouse. I must confess I like D*sn*y. I'm a Warner loyalist, but there's always been something magical about the Mouse. I couldn't get enough of Duck Tales & --- once I gave it a chance --- Darkwing Duck. The asterisks? A holdover from the A! ng. I once inserted Walt's name unedited & the next post was "Aaahhhhh!!! He said the 'd' word!" So, partially because of that & partially to express my loyalties, I give D*sn*y the same treatment I give P*k*m*n. Hmm, maybe I should re-think that; I like D*sn*y better than P*k*m*n. Fantasia's in my collection, probably some edited version; I dunno what version, but that's beside the point. I do like the Mouse, & I'm sure others here do, too. It's just fun, the fun we have @ its expense. That's all.

I'm of this view:
Disney isn't the only studio that ever gets it right, and they don't get it right every time, but when they do, they get it righter than anybody else does. Disney animation at it's best is *the* best, IMO, and out of respect for their artists' accomplishments, I refuse to employ the silly asterisk.
No, I don't approve of Disney's mega-corporation practices, but I regard that as a seperate matter. After all, Time-Warner hasn't exactly got a spotless record in that area either, yet certain WB cartoons are, and shall always be, excellent.

Wha? Maybe this happened before my time, but the feeling I get from everyone is that we call it the "D-Word" just to be facetious. You know, spirit of competition and everything. Truth be told, every single one of us at the boards has enjoyed a _lot_ of Disney's stuff, and we always talk about their new movies. I honestly don't know who "this person" is, but I'm willing to bet he was only kidding too, and has no idea he(she?) ticked someone off. (It wasn't me, was it?) So stick around, talk some Disney... we'll be happy to join in.

I took the survey. Disney doesn't intrigue me as much as some things, but I'll give it a look.
Craig Marinaro
05-08-2001, 04:05 PM
The asterisk thing is, as I've said many times before, an a.t.a. thing, and I take full responsibility for it winding up here. But if there's anyone here who hasn't figured this out yet, I'm rarely serious about anything. It seemed like an amusing joke (since this is a WB Board, and D*sney is "the enemy," from a corporate standpoint).
I'm not sure if you're referring to me with the "Juan" incident? I know I got an e-mail from Juan Lara about a year ago complaining about my use of the joke. I tried to explain that it was just a gag, but for a cartoon fan, he didn't seem to have much sense of humor. He did say that he planned to leave the Board, just because of that. No idea how you would've gotten involved, if that's the incident you're referring to though.
But I have no problem with the actual D*sney company. Well, I do, sort of. I mean, I can't stand Eisner. But as SL pointed out, WB has some real slimeballs in charge too. And I dislike most of their recent stuff. But then, I'm not very fond of anything WBA has released recently either.
I adore the old classics done under Walt. I was raised on those, and I still regard them as the best animated works ever to be captured on film. And while I'm of the opinion that the post-Lion King stuff has been hardly worth my time, I did love The Emperor's New Groove. And I've regularly mentioned my affinity for early-90's D*sney shows like Darkwing Duck and Gargoyles. I certainly have no problem with people writing out the full word, should they so desire. This is just my little joke, and anyone who feels like sharing it with me. And I'm pretty sure everyone else here feels the same way.
So don't have a cow. No need to split with the Board over a li'l thing like that. Hang around...we like ya. ;)

Oh, he apologized already...but Juan's not around to read it. It was actually on the old boards just about a month or two ago.
It's just that to me (and Juan) if you type it like this - D****y...it's right up there with the truly offensive words because when people type them online (or in a really nasty bumper sticker I saw on an SUV a few weeks ago) they type it out the same way - by eliminating all but the first and last letters, you know what I mean? I don't mind if only the I in "Disney" has an asterisk.
By the way, nobody finds my quote in my signature offensive, do they? =X

No, I'm referring to NarfPinky. I can say that now that he's opened up. I didn't want him to yell at me. =X
Believe it or not I don't have a cow. I have a whole bunch of other animals (stuffed animals, of course) but no cow. =X Ask Harley. She already knows I have 6 Warners (2 of each Warner sib - 1 large plush; 1 beanie plush), 2 lab rats, and a blue bear (by the way, Harl, did I ever thank you for the last Christmas present you sent me? =X). And of course I have various versions of Pepe, Penelope, Sylvester, and Sylvester Jr.
One of these days I'll actually type out a complete list of my Warner Brothers stuff and put it on my web site. Got the idea from Federica. =X
PennyCat
05-08-2001, 10:37 PM
That's a good idea. I'll add it to the list. =)

If his middle initial is F, then methinks it's the same guy, 'cause his last name was Lara, from someplace in Texas I think. What can I say; some people have a thin skin. Unlike me, who let the whole thing go, after the initial shock wore off. First time I'd gotten a flaming email.

Yup, that's the guy. Romey and I also had a big debate with him over the public school system, of all things, on a.t.a. a long while ago.
From what I've seen of D*I*sney NGs, he seems to be very active in that community (his reviews are posted on the Gargoyles Fan Site (http://www.gargoyles-fans.org/), for one). He seemed like an ok guy, as far as he wasn't intentionally trying to stir up trouble. But he takes himself and his beliefs waaay too seriously--something that can only lead to trouble in this crazy ol' world.
I checked my e-mail archives, and my correspondence with him was actually way back in January 1999 (around the time of our fanfic "Warner Academy"), at which point he claimed he was leaving the Board and not returning, due to the "elitist and snobbish" asterisk gag. He went on to explain why he sees WB fans as a bunch of snobs, and why he thinks the Warners represent all the "evil of the world," due to their bugging people.
All of which is plum ducky. But then, he might consider not minding his own business and letting us mind ours. Some peoples.

Yeppers, same guy. There was a bit of a hue & cry on the WB Animation ng re. the studio stores. As y'all might know I've been advocating for fans of all genres of Warner toons to work together. I was a bit disgusted myself @ the factionalism on the ng. You know, Clampett vs. Jones & all that. I wondered if there was such factionalism on the D*sn*y sites. Old school guardians having no use for Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck, etc; partisans of King vs. Kinney vs. Hannah vs. Nichols; those who were of the opinion that the studio went downhill when Lundy & Geronimi left; etc. Next thing I knew I got an email from him suggesting I go to the D*sn*y sites & see for myself; and I must admit he was kind enough to enclose some addresses of D*sn*y sites. He then ripped into me re. the stuff you mentioned, Craig: the asterisks, the Warners, etc. He even said P*k*m*n was what we Warnerites deserved. I never did go to those sites; by the time the shock wore off that email had lapsed. Oh well. And I also recall that school system debate, but I forget who was on which side. Eh, not important. Oh, and Penny, I think I'll keep it up with the asterisks, because of tradition, because of habit, because it's fun. But I'm a fair man; whenever I post on any D*sn*y site I'll call my favorite studio W*rn*r. Fair enough?

And I also recall that school system debate, but I forget who was on which side. Eh, not important.
I was the anti-establishment hippie, and Romey the world-weary cynic. Basically, our standard roles...we often feel the same, but probably for rather different reasons.
In the debate itself, I think we were arguing that both public and private school systems have tremendous faults, while Mr. Lara was saying that private schools are *ALL* wretched heckholes due to one bad experience he'd had, and public schools are the bees' knees.
I've long since given up trying to reason who's to blame for all the problems in our society. At this point, *EVERYBODY*'s made so many mistakes, it's silly to place the blame on any given group, or to set any other group on a pedestal. But that is really, *REALLY* neither here nor there.

And then we often wind up arguing for hours on end over our respective reasons for something, despite having the same basic opinions when all is boiled down. Although, we've come up with many other interesting spins and twists of sources for arguments over the years, too. ;-)
Anyway, in regards to all the misunderstandings over "D*sney", if NarfPinky *was* in any way involved, I'm sure he didn't mean to offend. I've known him for a bit, and he's among the most considerate people I've run in to. Something had to have been misunderstood somewhere.
An' that Juan Lara, I think was a bit on edge anyway, if he was indeed the same guy Craig & myself once conversed with on ata, oh so long ago...

The bitter irony is, I think the private schools tend to be sneering elitist ivory towers for upper-class twits and the public schools are often violent, overcrowded, impoverished, understaffed, undesirable-filled, urine-soaked hellholes. So either way you lose. I thought it was just the Southern public schools that were so bad, but from what I'm told things are tough all over. Is it any wonder one of my exes was telling me she's considering home-schooling her daughter? :eek:

You had urine? My district couldn't afford urine! We had to make do with spit!
I was home schooled myself from fourth grade on. It was a lot easier to learn without the constant pressure from other students to conform. No bullies was nice, too. I was kind of a low maintenance kid, so all Mama and Dad had to do was get the books and I'd be on it. Don't know if your daughter is the same way, but I don't think children need more than the requirement to work a little daily. I sure wouldn't keep a rigid schedule. There's some associations out there, too, though they tend to stress Bible study hardest for some reason.
It is a good alternative to snobs and urine, I can tell you that.

LOL. It was a Simpsons reference, actually--cf. "Cape Feare", with Sideshow Bob. That's why I liked college so much--it was a better class of folks, more culturally diverse, and they were actually there to learn--most of them. Of course there are a few who still retain a high-school mentality...they're the type who get drunk frequently, who run about the halls at two a.m. waking folks up with their hooting and hollering and cussing fit to be d***ed, and who often relieve themselves on the back stairs.

Well, my concern with home-schooling would be that although Junior is protected from the undesirables, there's the risk of stunting his social growth by not allowing him to associate with his peers. And of course Junior must be motivated to succeed; both parent and child need the proper motivation to carry it out. My brother actually asked my mom to home-school him once, but he was just looking to sleep in all day, loafing in bed and washing his truck. Come to think of it, this scenario was once played out sardonically well on South Park.
Don't know if your daughter is the same way...
Oh, she isn't mine. Her mother and I just dated a few months... though if it hadn't been for the nearly 2000 miles between us and if it had lasted longer, I might have considered making an honest woman of her. :) The girl's father (she always called him "the sp*** donor", never by name) was an abusive piece of chozzerai who beat her up a lot and would have relations with anything having two legs and a few with four. She threw him out, I think, before she even realized she was pregnant. I don't think he's ever even met his little girl, or wants to. She took up with another guy after that; they parted ways but still remained friends. Then she and I had our fling, parted ways, stayed friendly. One day she phoned and told me Guy #2 turned out to be a whack job too. "Girl," I said, "you sure don't have much luck with men, do you?" Last I heard she was engaged, and I hope this one works out. Meantime, I've got a new little niece to dote on--to sort of practice for fatherhood.

Well, I don't know about your school, but my school district was pretty darn good. For example, we only had imported, Perrier urine with a hint of strawberry undertones.
*GONG*
Okay, the real argument. My school was quite fine, actually. It was funded adequately and had a variety of extracurricular/advanced activities to choose from. It was slightly crowded, to be true, but my town was going through a growth spurt at the time.
Personally, when it comes to public vs. private, I think there's not really a way to make sweeping generalizations for either. There are stunning, shining examples of public schools that put many privates to shame, and then there are the pee-pee-soaked heckholes (the preferred term, as Sideshow Bob learned). As far as private schools, there are many that are stellar, but many others that are elitist, teach only religious dogma, or don't quite get the job done in other ways. I don't think one is _inherently_ better than the other, it just depends on where you live.

Re home schooling: I have a niece who's getting that, and so far it's working out well- she's reading well ahead of her age group. Her folks are concerned about the socialization aspect, so they're also taking her on community field trips with other kids her age.
I myself am living proof, that going to public school doesn't guarantee you'll learn proper social skills.

Yeah, he sent me one too. I was shocked that he'd take it so personally. It's all in fun & I didn't mean to offend anyone.
Gee. :(
Did you get my e-mail?

...unless he's got an alternate personality we don't know about. :eek:
Maybe he doesn't even know about his alternate personality. ;)

Sharklady spake thus:

Well, you're still probably the most socially acceptable person on this Board. Except maybe Narfpinky.
Have I mentioned that Narfpinky is a nice guy?
He really is.

I didn't run away from TZ.
Anyway, I apologized to Penny and she accepted. The core matter is the context I used. What I said came across as more of a directive instead of a suggestion to just be kidding.
But I had no idea that I made Penny feel uncomfortable about mentioning Disney topics on the BB, and that I made Juan upset and supposedly leave the BB as a result of what I did. That's when I emailed Penny to figure out what was wrong.
And Juan, if you're out there , I'm sorry for whatever hardship I caused.
Now that has been explained, I find this rather amusing:

There's not enough room for another personality.;)
And Craig, Romey, Dick Grayson, thanks. :)
Now, please note: I am having trouble with my only monitor (goes blank for certain duration). Being under warranty, I'm going to have it serviced. I don't know how long it'll take, and not having one connected to your computer makes it rather difficult to use, poit. (I've got my TV hooked up at the moment, that's how I'm doing this). So, I don't know how long I may be gone. Might be a couple of days, might be a couple of weeks. =X
I'll still be 'on-line' for at least tonight.
Wow, rambled on there a bit, narf!

If you ask me, a good name for that would be "Kitty Kartoon Korner", or perhaps "Animation conversation station."

Aww, thanks, guys!
Tho it has to be admitted, my social skills seem to be a lot better in writing than they are face-to-face. What a help, to be able to edit one's words.
