  Who is your favorite animated cartoon character?

  by gaiagirl in

  my favorite would have to be marvin the martian (first appearance 1948).

  everything about him cracks me up, from his roman gladiator helmet and kilt, to the way he walks and speaks ("that makes me angry, very angry indeed"), to the ultra cool devices he uses (suprisingly, from acme, who apparantly has outlets on mars).

  a very close second, almost a tie, would have to go to droopy (first appearance 1943), who also walks and speaks in a humorous manner, and who has abilities far beyond what would be expected from his dimunitive size.

  I don't have one in particular, but I like the more obscure characters. Like on Looney Toons, there is a bull dog named Marc Antony with an adorable little black and white kitten who likes to curl up on top of the dog, digging into him with his claws and nestling down to sleep while the dog takes it all without complaint. Also on Looney toons, there is a huge white furry monster, Bigfoot? and he picks up Bugs Bunny and says "I will kiss him and hug him and comb his hair backwards and call him George" I do that to my kids!!!!! The animals who did the work of modern appliances on the Flintstones. The bird inside the camera, the garbage disposal, the elephant who stood outside the window while Wilma used his trunk as the kitchen faucet. I find them funny as an adult more so than as a child. Just a few of mine!!!!

  so i'm going to see madam bootylicious herself in concert in a couple of hours and i just thought i'd share this with you lovely people and ask your opinion.

  it has been said that she has become over exposed of late, as she seems to be everywhere.

  i don't think so personally, i say good luck to her.

  She's absolutely gorgeous. So my defensive female reaction kicks in and says I hate her for it!! LOL I guess I don't really know her by her voice so much as by her popularity and beauty. I think she's one of the most beautiful I've ever seen if not the most beautiful. But then again, I've never seen her without her make-up and all dolled up, like I do my own reflection every morning. I hope you have a great time! It is so much fun to go to a concert or any normal social function and be free to totally enjoy it. I went to a baseball game for the first time, and baby, you should have heard me cheering and shouting. A big no-no for the jw time in my life. But a wonderful feeling to have fun and participate at least a little bit in competition. Sing along, sway and clap your little heart out!

  I guess I'd have to say godzilla too. I'm not into monster movies, but when we were in Japan (for hubby's work) we went to Tokyo to see godzilla takes on New York!!! It was in english with japanese sub-titles and they served beer at the theater!!! I thought it was a hilarious situation we found ourselves in.

  Bluebell: Spanish is fun. It is a very logical language to learn. I took it in high school, then I thought I'd take up French again (took it in jr. high) and kept mixing them up when I was in French. So I just stuck with spanish. I've lost alot of it, but I made sure to remember enough to ask where the bathroom is and to call someone a "crazy chicken". LOL I hope you enjoy it alot. It is fun to broaden our abilities. Did you ever frame anything you sketched? I haven't yet. I have one I am thinking of framing. Bigdreaux: All I can say is "ewwwwww", but my hubby says he's awesome. I just keep thinking "how could you tape them on?" I could see super glueing them. Yuck. But you gotta do what you gotta do to keep doing something you love. BTW, thanks for posting. I wasn't sure where to put this at and felt like I should contribute a topic, esp. after minimus was stumped for topics. I am having fun with it.

  I am teaching myself to play guitar. I took lessons when I was about 10 but whined until I was allowed to quit. Hubby bought me a new guitar 7 years ago, and I've been really working on it this week. My fingertips are sore and I am awaiting the callouses.
  How did I get so smokin' hot I burnt my fingers you ask? My fingertips were all tingle-y and sore, and I picked up something hot and couldn't feel the pain of it! It was one of those moments where you say to yourself, "Hmmmmmmm. I would have thought that was hotter than it is" then you see little white blisters that agree with you. So I have been playing through the pain, hoping I won't notice it get any more tender! If I can get some callouses on there quickly, I might not notice it as much!
  Which leads me to wonder, "Do your fingers get calloused from the piano?". Maybe I switch instruments! Although it might be hard to drag the piano to the porch rocker to practice! Anyone else letting their creative juices flow and take up a new hobby or interest? I have also dabbled at sketching and thinking of painting.

  I love the feel of leather! Especially for cleaning, allergies and the cool feel of it if it is in an airconditioned room. Recliners are tricky to find one that fits your body. We went with a reclining sofa.It is a CATNAPPER. We got it on sale at a going out of business sale. $900 was a great price. Love it except for the fact when we are both reclined, we can't see each other!!!! The center cushion stays upright and you feel all alone. Just another pair of legs to see. So next we plan on 2 separate recliners, and hopefully swivel rocker ones. They are kind of hard to find, but possible. Hope you find one that makes you say "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh"!

  What a cool thing to get! My family had a long, long family history researched, back to the Mayflower and beyond on my mom's side. Dad's side didn't have anything but a couple generations. When I was a kid I didn't appreciate it, now I am older, the ones who did the research are older (or gone?) and last I heard from my mom ,someone stole it and she has no idea what they have left. I will have to really dig around before my grandma's generation is all gone to find anything. Now that I have kids and my husbands history only goes back to his great grandfather, I really wish I had it. I hope you really enjoy going through the names and feel a connection to a hidden family past. What a treasure for you and so nice of them to pass it on before the line is lost!!! It'll be a great read! Copy it so you can put one in safe keeping too!!!
  Happy Heritage Reading Sparkplug!

  Hey Dawg!
  I live close to Atlanta and can get the AJC anywhere. Did you happen to write a story for it that I could look up and read? Just ran across this thread of yours and it got my curiosity up! BTW, how's the smoke from the fires where you're at? They said the air quality today was bad for everyone. My throat hurts from all this smoke!!!
