Following on from the last thread
I just realised I have no clue what the Moomins are, nor Dogtanian. What do you have no clue about that everyone else seems to?

Alt Q: Club, pub or night in?

Edit: also the popular page seems to be going a bit strange
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 12:40, 209 replies, latest was 16 years ago)

you don't know what Dogtanian is....
you suck

I don't know anything about most popular modern bands. People insist that I will have heard something by some band and it is very rarely the case.

Alt Q: night in.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 12:41, Reply)

same with the popular bands
but with Dogtanian it sounds shit
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 12:47, Reply)

You're missing nothing with Dogtanian.
It was utterly shit; I can't understand why it's looked back on with so much fondness among people of a certain age.

Alt: All three, depending on mood. Possibly less club and more pub though.

Probably because it introduced people to the story of The Three Musketeers, one of the greatest stories written
and brilliantly filmed in two parts starring Oliver Reed and Michael York
(Bazongaloid, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 12:44, Reply)

I love reading the Three Musketeers
because they were drunken violent louts.

Why not just watch the film/ read the book? I'm assuming it's a dog version

it is an animated dog version
it was brilliant though

You are wrong on that assertion, Vippers.

( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Thu 2 Sep 2010, 12:51, Reply)

Have to agree with you
the animation was pants.

Because as a child of the age of about six or seven
I hadn't heard of the book. Then I watched Dogtanian and then I got bought the puffin version of the three musketeers and then when I was older I bought myself the penguin translation of the original story.

I read the book before that fucking travesty of a cartoon even aired.
And yes, Amberl - it was Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds. Thirteen episides of badly animated, badly dubbed eyeball rape.

Nothing at all. It was fucking bent.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 13:08, Reply)

Dumas was superb
The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favourite books. Dogtanian was a massive heap of shit, at school we used to bully a boy until he cried because he said he liked it once.

Michael York's face and voice make me feel really queasy. Ditto Chubby Checker. I genuinely feel sick now just thinking about the pair of them.

I find casinos, in films, borring. Esspeically like James Bond when they're playing cards and nobody is saying anything but giving everyone else weird looks.

And forests, I saw a good one last night, "The Forth Kind", but I can't relate to small american towns that are around forests.

You were lookin' for that third three, but you forgot that Professor Green folded on Fourth Street and now you're representing that you have it. The DA made his two pair, but he knows they're no good. Judge Kaplan was trying to squeeze out a diamond flush but he came up short and Mr. Eisen is futilely hoping that his queens are going to stand up. So like I said, the Dean's bet is $20

Although a lad at work recently had no idea who Joe 90 was, that was a bit of a shock (he's 9 years older than me).

The weirdest one is that none of my friends at all have heard of Penny Crayon!

Lord of the Rings was really borring to me, I saw the first one because it was all like 'wow'.
But when it came to watching it in the pictures, it was fucking dull and pathetic. "OH GANDOLF, I CAN'T BEILIVE I'M STILL ALIVE, I LOVE YOU GANDOLF, TAKE ME WITH YOUR WIZZARD'S STICK" with 20 minutes of [that video effect where all the light is bright white and everything is glossy] with nothing interesting at all.

Then the second one I feel asleep in at the pictures and missed the one interesting scene, with the war with the tree men.

Didn't even attempt the third.

Harry Potter and Inception is ace. I ain't seen Avatar yet, but I don't hold up much hope, to much forrest stuff, but it's made up for with neon, I love neon.

I know nothing about sport
I really don't, I don't know the names of sportsmen, I don't know the names of stadiums, I didn't watch the world cup and I wont watch the Olympics.

I tried getting into football a few years back, I went to loads of Cheltenham Town FC games when I visited my brother but it's just so dull. Everything I learnt has since been forgotten (Although I do know the order and names of the football leagues).

how can you not know the moomins?
I went to the moomin museum in Finland (it was shit) and realised that although I knew who the moomins were, I had never seen them on TV or read any of the books.

Also, Dogtanian was ok, but I much preferred Albert the 5th Musketeer ('He's short, he's cool, he's nobody's fool, he's Albert the fifth musketeer!'). And Sharky and George, Crimebusters of the sea were also fb.

I think my knowledge of kids TV is pretty poor though, as I wasn't allowed to watch it when I was younger, but watched CBBC when my brother and sister did, so I'm about 7 years behind my actual age in children's TV reminiscing.

Since children's cartoons have been raised
I have been accused of sounding like the brightly coloured elephant from "Charlie Chalk."

Alt Q: Pub or night in depending on various parameters. I've never been particularly drawn to clubs. (Read: I really don't understand the appeal)

Edit: Oddly enough, I ended up discussing the recent Political Correction of kids' cartoons - apparently scenes from things as innocuous Tom and Jerry have been edited where anyone was seen smoking, Babar has been edited because the rivalry between the elephants and rhinos might be construed as promoting racism, and even the more contemporary (and there probably shite anyway) Dennis the Menace cartoon series has been toned down so it wouldn't look like its main protagonist was bullying Walter the Softie and his Chums for their girliness and latent homosexuality. (I'm fairly sure they've also deleted the scene from Rainbow where Bungle gets drunk and bitch-slaps Zippie around the kitchen)
