Post by: B E C K on Dec 20, 2006, 01:15:23 AM: I heard about it on the news yesterday. Frankly, I thought he was already dead.

Post by: B E C K on Dec 21, 2006, 03:23:59 AM: In any case, now I can finally confess that I thought "Rabbit Rhapsody" should've gotten the nomination and subsequent Oscar over "Cat Concerto". And that it was stupid replacing "Ricochet Rabbit and Droop-a-long" on Magilla's show with the hopelessly inferior fuck-ups "Breezly and Sneezly".

Post by: B E C K on Dec 21, 2006, 03:25:31 AM: Oh, and that it was gay to have Showbiz Shark and that fish sidekick of his (who he should've just eaten) walk around like they breathe air like everyone else.

Post by: B E C K on Dec 21, 2006, 01:59:06 PM: Barbera himself was old news. Har har. *rimshot*

Post by: B E C K on Dec 22, 2006, 01:28:14 AM: Born November 1999.

Post by: Rama on Dec 22, 2006, 01:33:02 AM: And it was such a cute baby, but now it's fallen in with a bad crowd. Drugs, crime, joining an Emo band and his Robert Smith hair cut.

Post by: B E C K on Dec 22, 2006, 01:38:56 AM: Funny, I would've figured the opposite.
Title: Animation Legend Joseph Barbera Dead.
Post by: Rama on Dec 22, 2006, 01:43:45 AM: Well that's what you get for figuring.

Post by: B E C K on Dec 22, 2006, 02:30:53 AM: Hey, if anything this place is less emo than before just due to no longer having a poetry section.
Title: Animation Legend Joseph Barbera Dead.
Post by: Rama on Dec 22, 2006, 12:08:47 PM: That is true, but I always liked you poems. You even still write them?
Title: Animation Legend Joseph Barbera Dead.
Post by: B E C K on Dec 27, 2006, 04:39:22 AM: Yes, just not as frequently. I actually thought about bringing back the poetry section the other day, if only for the fact that it makes them so easy to put online.
Title: Animation Legend Joseph Barbera Dead.
Post by: Rama on Dec 27, 2006, 01:26:47 PM: I still think you should collect some of your best and try to get them published.
Title: Animation Legend Joseph Barbera Dead.
Post by: B E C K on Dec 28, 2006, 02:39:32 AM: I'm planning to, but what I have now is too little.
Title: Animation Legend Joseph Barbera Dead.
Post by: Rama on Dec 28, 2006, 03:58:51 AM: Cool. I've read stuff that was a lot worse and it actually sold very well. So I think if you can get it out there and survive the barrage of rejection letters and not let them get you down too much that you'll do very well with it.

Post by: B E C K on Dec 28, 2006, 10:32:56 PM: Or I could ghostwrite an Eragon book and sell it in China.
Title: Animation Legend Joseph Barbera Dead.
Post by: Rama on Dec 29, 2006, 02:08:21 AM: It'll get you the money, but what about the respect? No one respects a person that writes an Eragon book.
Title: Animation Legend Joseph Barbera Dead.
Post by: Merla on Dec 29, 2006, 03:09:42 PM: But a person who writes an Eragon book has money. Damn it Nuri, write and Eragon book all ready and make us rich. Hahaha funny how I say us when she's the one writing.
Title: Animation Legend Joseph Barbera Dead.
Post by: Bitch on Dec 29, 2006, 09:53:32 PM: People actually love Eragon. I had an AP science teacher recommend it to me, as well as a bunch of other people. Apparently the sequel is better, but I'd have to suffer through the rest of the first one just to understand the damn thing. If I want to read an unfinished children's book trilogy, I'll just read Abarat again.

Yeah, who is to say that after she hits it rich she won't drop you like a bad habit.

But it'll be ghostwritten! I just keep the large, well-smuggled fee for my initial manuscript. Respect factors in no where.

Post by: B E C K on Jan 02, 2007, 04:18:01 AM: No it wouldn't. I have the Unsolved Mysteries theme music for that.

Post by: Rama on Jan 02, 2007, 04:30:35 AM: In your head?
Title: Animation Legend Joseph Barbera Dead.
Post by: B E C K on Jan 02, 2007, 05:25:13 AM: Yes.
Title: Animation Legend Joseph Barbera Dead.
Post by: Rama on Jan 02, 2007, 05:36:58 AM: Well that sucks. I only get the Batman Theme (The Burton one) in my head and only when I go to the Bathroom.

Post by: IDE on Jan 02, 2007, 07:12:25 PM: If I'm ever gun shy while peeing in public I just play row row row your boat in my head and before ya know it I'm hosing down your neighbors azalias.

Post by: B E C K on Jan 03, 2007, 06:22:59 AM: I get the Rocky theme in my head when I walk up a large number of stairs. And the Airwolf theme when I see a helicopter.
