Tiny Toon Adventures: How I spent my Vacation is finally getting a dvd release after all these years.
Honestly, my opinion about TT is pretty up and down. There were some episodes with shit animation, blah plots and far too many unfunny environmental episodes. But a lot were fantastic, great animation, great comedy beats.
If you like WB-style animation it’s worth checking out, though overall it might not hold up as well as Animaniacs or things that came later. The main reason this show is noteworthy is that the show was part of the collective kick in the pants the animation industry got at the end of the 80s/start of the 90s. After 20-odd years of iffy theatrical animation and almost 100% shit TV animation, the public was hit by a bunch of stuff in rapid succession that reminded them that cartoons could be good. Things like Ren & Stimpy, Rocko’s Modern Life, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Little Mermaid and…Tiny Toons.
While the overall legacy of the show might be lesser than the other stuff I mentioned, it helped set the tone for WB’s fantastic production of TV stuff over the decade.
tl;dr: I’m old and nostalgic.
unbelievable… like there is this ‘missing time’ in America’s history of sexuality between 1955 and whenever the f Bush Sr. was 1st elected…. like we UNLEARNED all the things we learned.. incredible.
dear internet, let me tell you some things about my public-school-in-georgia sex education.
pictured above is my abstinence til marriage card, given to me in my eighth grade health class. as you can see, i did not sign it, so it is non-binding. they were “optional” but the teacher placed the basket at the front of the class and stared us down. my 13-year-old self had a very brief dilemma between 1. making a stand and not getting one or 2. getting one because it’s fucking hilarious. i am very glad i chose the latter, because as i predicted, this is now something hilarious to show everyone.
that year in health we also learned “how to spot the identifying features of a crack baby” which is literally nothing but lies. we had a system of anonymous questions, and once someone asked “how do i know if i’m a lesbian?” our teacher looked disgusted and she replied “how would i know? i’m not a lesbian!”
EDIT i forgot to mention when she gave these to us she suggested we “cut up our cards together with our husbands on our wedding day” and i remember thinking, fuck if i marry someone from my middle school
the next time i had sex ed in high school it was taught by a dude gym coach who spent the whole time talking about his daughters. the book we were learning from listed “low self-esteem” “stunted social growth” and “depression,” among others, as consequences of premarital sex. at one point, it asked us to fill in the disadvantages of having an abortion. our teacher went, “well, i’m personally against abortion, so we’re just going to skip this section,” which confused me, because it was explicitly asking for an argument against abortion.
the last time i had sex ed it was pretty good and there were free condoms and we got little bottles of lube every time we answered questions, but i don’t think that counts cause it was in an intro to women’s studies class.
atm: ass to mouth on wedding day
Man, that teacher is off base.
You get his credit card AFTER you fuck him. Duh.
SHOW US YOUR NAILS!!!!
“You get his credit card AFTER you fuck him. Duh.”

Mos Def - The Boogie Man Song
See me, want me, give me, trust me
Feed me, fuck me, love me, touch me
This whole world is cold and ugly
What we are is low and lovely
I am the most beautiful boogie man
The most beautiful boogie man
Let me be your favourite nightmare
Close your eyes and I’ll be right there
personally I thought this was mos def’s best album. The range of musical style present in each track is so diverse. It’s a shame it was it viewed so poorly in hip-hop centric circles and media as being “too soft”. I can’t recommend The New Danger enough to people looking to get into Def or hip hop in general.
I’m gonna come out be one of those guys and let it be known that I preferred the dub of this over the original japanese language tracks. The primary reason is that even though this is anime, in a way it was a bit of a period piece with a lot of fantasy elements dashed in.
One little secret I learned from the commentary is that they give away family relations before the dialogue reveals them if you listen very carefully, as they share similar accents among family members.
I like this for a couple of reasons besides the obvious. It’s got so many things going on at the political level!
His opponent can now either agree with him, killing his base support, disagree and look like a bigot in the eyes of everyone else or scream “FOUL! WAR ON MARRIAGE!” about it and look like a childish fool.
The president’s balls are bigger than two human skulls duct-taped together right now and it’s hilarious.
