Dad: "THIS IS BECAUSE OF ALL THE STEN AND RIMPY TRASH YOU ARE WATCHING ON TV ALL THE TIME!!!!!"
Ren & flippin' Stimpy. You know, I liked to watch that show when it was on Nickelodeon--but I had to do it on the sly. My mom thought they were gay. I didn't know how she got that conclusion, all I knew was that if I was watching it on a Saturday afternoon, I had to turn it as soon as I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. To this day, I have a sixth sense for when people are coming down the stairs or up to my room, no matter what I'm doing. It's from years of quickly switching away from Ren & Stimpy.
Fortunately, I win in the end: I now have every Ren & Stimpy episode out there (except maybe the Spike TV ones) and tons of cartoons and pictures of R&S. I have pretty much what any R&S fan could ever want, and I can watch it whenever I want.
It's the same deal I had to make for cartoons, too. I grew up in the Golden Age of Saturday morning cartoons; X-Men, Spiderman, Batman TAS, etc. I now have them all on my storage drive...
