@ThanosReXXX I had Latin and Greek in high school as well; English, Dutch, German, French, Latin and Greek. And I've remembered only one-and-a-half of those (if you take the average of all of them )
@AlohaPizzaJack Pipe? Nah, I quit smoking a long time ago. Make it an infinite supply of Bacardi and we can start talking...
@Octane I've retained quite a few more: I'm fluent in English and Dutch, get by quite well in German and French, and I speak a little Spanish and Danish. I'm also able to read Greek and Russian, although I only understand and speak a few sentences in Greek, and mere words in Russian.
@Morpheel Ah, perdon. A menudo hago el mismo error...
(oh, and don't bite my head of if that's not perfectly written/spelled either)
And you never liked Tom & Jerry? Those cartoons were hilarious, man. No sense of humor, I tell ya...
Nowadays, it's all stupid kid cartoons like Spongebob and what not. Annoying voices and horrible jokes.
Probably an age thing, and not to popular amongst the majority, but give me the classics any day of the week over that stuff.
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
@Octane Har, har. I can tell you, reading Russian is quite the chore. Both Russian and Greek obviously use a Cyrillic alphabet, but for some reason, I find Greek words easier to decode. Could also have to do with me being far more interested in Greek history and mythology than in the Russian counterpart of it, but I like to think that's not of too much influence...

@ReaderRagfish Not just mouse beats up cat. The mouse obviously (nearly) always won, but he certainly has taken some severe punishment over time...
@Morpheel Guess it's the age difference then. I never saw any of the uber-violence in it. It's just a cartoon,
there was no blood or anything, just a cat getting broken to bits, and running around again 3 seconds later.
Really nothing bad about it.
@AlohaPizzaJack Bit of a time-displaced comparison. The Road Runner cartoons came much, much later.
But besides that, I also really liked those. I actually pretty much liked all Looney Tunes, such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Pepé le Pew, Foghorn Leghorn, Speedy Gonzalez, and the other more nameless ones, like the ones with the big and the small dog, the latter being the smart one, and the former being the dummy (he bit me, George... )
I did also see many other cartoons back in the day, but if I had to name them all, we'd still be here tomorrow,
so I better stick to extremely violent and sadistic, err... no: decidedly funny Looney Tunes...
Talk about violence, how about Bambi's mother getting shot in the opening scenes? Or Littlefoot's mother. Or the siamese cats openly talking about murdering a human baby in Lady and the Tramp. That's some real stuff.
I liked those two dogs, too. Is is just me, or did there seem to be a wider variety of cartoons, too?
Yeah, and they actually went by the idea that if the tragedy section is brought out immediately, then it's easier to replace with all the happiness later.
@MorpheelYou're not allowed to have feelings. You make creepy teeny weenie beebies
