Sponge Bob Ain't got nothing on Fragle Rock!!

.......


So Today I watched cartoon's with my brother's kids and I was fascinated when we pulled up Netflix (Thank you April...) and they wanted to watch Inspector Gadget and not the Wiggles.
And that well it got me thinking I had some good entertainment growing up!!

And ....
Have you ever wondered which cartoon characters' from then could kick today's cartoon butt?
I have to say these new cartoons and TV show for kids don't got nothing on the good ol' stuff I was brought up on.

Can I get an amen?

For real though... If you have kids and are subject to Dora and Barney and The Wiggles, I am so sorry!! I am ashamed to admit even the older kids' stuff like suite life, avatar, and Fairly odd parents,Mighty B's... is just kinda hard to watch.

Where do people come up with these shows? Are the writer's all like 18? Did they never watch "Real Cartoons".... your only saving grace is that now some Movies for kids do have stuff written in for the adults!!
But they Just don't make good entertainment in children's TV shows anymore.


It would be a sad, sad thing to have to grow up now... I remember when Saturday Morning Cartoons were a part, neigh they were a ritual, of a young child's weekly routine!!
And I do have to admit it was probably the only time I did not complain or argue with my mother to get up before noon on a day off from school.

I would get up in time to be sure to see Jem...
I for some reason Loved that show and looking back it was a perhaps a little too old for me.

Did anybody else catch the episode where Jem kissed her boyfriend RIO. (I do mean the actual episode because it was also a part of the opening... Good Stuff!!)

This cartoon is more than likely the cause for my infatuation for boys with longer hair and blue hair.
I like blue hair. I haven't yet met a boy with actual blue hair but when I do if he is Mormon and if it is long and if he is single and working and over 25 and...OK OK I'm just joking, but if I do find some guy who would be willing to dye his hair for my Jem situation, I would more than likely marry that boy!!
Jem WAS excitement!!

Following Jem you had the Snorks...good stuff even if it was a cheep knock off of smurfs under water. I loved the smurfs!!
I just could never figure out why there was only one girl...Hmmm?


And then Punky Brewster. Does anybody but me remember the Punky cartoon?
Most of my fashion sense came from Soleil Moon. She was a genius, and I have to say I do believe that she was ahead of her time... not only did she miss match her socks but also her shoes...which was sheer brilliance!! You double your footwear when you take on the Brewster wardrobe challenge...and who honestly can say that they have enough foot ware?
....
Yes my friends you can look at me even now and still find some of Punky and Rainbow Brite...My fashion sense came from both of them. Man anybody who can wear every color of the rainbow two different shoes and ride on a huge white horse and not look stupid is AMAZAZING!!

Infact I think I wore my hair in a side pony for like months that and those multi-colored leg warmers all to be more like Rainbow Brite and Punky.
But I am so glad that they didn't have digital camera's back then.


I also loved Strawberry shortcake it always seemed to be on after rainbow brite colors and foods the perfect pair in real life and on tv.
Who doesn't like a show about kids who smell like their fav. desserts though? Her cat was precious and all the kids had pets who smelled just as good as they did. Too bad they didn't depict that a little truer to life. I may not want a dog so badly even now if this show had a little side kick that smelled like actual crap in stead of raspberry pie, shortcake or lemon candies?

Care Bears and Care a lot Cousins were on next. I think that the Mother (actual mother I am writing about cartoons guys, geesh) who came up with this cartoon probably had some children with some real anger and hitting issues cause I don't remember a single episode that didn't have something about "I love you" and "take care" and "don't be mean" in it
... Its like Prozac in liquid cartoon form. Which is good I never wanted to hit or bit or say mean things to anybody after watching this show. That and I always had a overwhelming urge to hug somebody. Go figure?!

Spider man Superman and Batman definitely staples no need to go any further as I do believe they have endured and would be found on your cartoon lineup today.
But whatever happened to He-Man, Shera, Thunder cats, GI Joe, and Mr T?

Listen Up Fool!! You ain't watched any good cartoons if there isn't a clad-ly dressed superhero...
I don't believe any superhero's from the 80's at least none listed above owned any shirts?

Maybe Shera, but I don't think she ever wore it either?

Next came Kid Vid...Nothing like our generation.
You don't like to exercise? No worries we will invent the Nitendo and Sega.
And playing like 40 hours of video games a week so that your complexion turns 3 shades lighter isn't enough for you, let me introduce the cartoon to give your thumbs a little brake... Kid Vid!!

He does all the work you just sit back and watch for the next 30 minutes or so. Gotta love that he kicks some video butt in every episode too!!


I loved the Little's, Where it didn't matter how big you were you could still do big stuff.
Man that show was written for me. It gave me hope that even if I didn't hit 5 feet it would still be OK!! That and it just always seemed so cool when they wrote out notes with that giant pencil...
I always wanted me a giant pencil....A boyfriend with blue hair and a giant pencil....

Of course it wouldn't be Saturday morning with out Jim. Muppet babies (because grown up Muppet's were for babies...goodbye sesame st, Hello baby Kermit.)
Fraggle Rock ...I really, really did leave my worries for another day when watching this favorite show ( I own the series on DVD!!)
and Pryor's Place...I learned the sax because of that show!! (it came on right after dungeons and dragon's)

And then came on the Wuzzles and Adventures of the Gummi bears followed by Chip and Dales Rescue Rangers and don't forget Duck tales and Tale Spin.

All of which helped Zach and Grahm in debate and History so much more than our Amazing Teachers at Adna Middle/High School.
I always knew that Disney was sneaky trying to pour education in what should be a brainless Saturday activity!!


There was Karate Kid and Alf and Hulk Hogan's Rocking Wrestling cause you just couldn't get enough of the real versions.
My little ponies and Pound Puppies, Scoobie Doo and Scrappy too.
Transformers and X-Men. Pink Panther and sons, Looney toons when they were kids...

and those weird little black dog/rodent guys. Geesh what was the name of that show I can't remember, but Pinky and the Brain got their own episodes because they were on it...
and I remember it cause the song about the capital's of the world helped out later in life. Oh and it was a crack up when he burped a song about what now I can't remember.


Simpson's which dad would watch with us when mom wasn't looking, and which also died in our house the day she finally sat down and did watch it...but now I'm just rambling cause I think it was on on Sunday night and not Saturday morning....
Anyway the point of this blog is that I watched way too much TV as a kid, but only cause it was better than most of the stuff that is on now.
That and the fact that I was impressed that My brother's kids would know good TV when they saw it....

Everything comes down to....

Please note that the following blog is not suitable for all reading audiences:

Those with week stomach and faint constitutions need not read on.

The following blog is rated PG...
Poop Guaranteed.

Ive been spending some time with doctors and in medical facilities in the last little while and I would love to share some of my findings with those of you may not have any medical experience so that when and if you are ever in a situation where you may need to ask is that possible you will remember the oh-so-wise blog you read and may respond, well yes it is.

1.) Toothpaste burns!! Most of the time worse than salt...

2.) Pain Killers can kill pain and your ability to think before you speak...

3.) You can vomit poo....Yes you can and I have the web pages to prove it.

So here you go 3 funny stories that will make you laugh cry and wet your pants.

Story 1
I am sick, this is not so much funny but the memories I have obtained have been hilarious!!

A couple of months ago I had been going through some treatments that made me really raw when i urinated. (kinda gross to know but stay with me it gets better i promise) About the same time I had been to the dentist and asked for some better toothpaste as this treatment also causes me to vomit and I was worried about throwing up and it ruining my teeth (I really do promise you will laugh)

So for the raw I get this cream in a blue and white tube that stands on its head not too big but obviously cream.
And for the teeth I get this toothpaste in a blue and white tube that stands on its head, not too big but obviously, well actually it looks like a tube of cream...

One night as I woke up to use the rest room I was half awake and paying no kind of attention to what I was doing, except that I needed to add more cream when I was done.

I will tell you what, I didn't know that I could yell that loud!! And then also laugh so hard.
...This is where you should have figured out that what I used was not cream....

Story number 2
And this one has a warning never never never take pain medication and then go to church where they may have a testimony meeting.
Yes I did this and yes looking back it is a pretty funny story. I do now think that there should also be a warning on the labels of all prescription bottles: Do not share any personal information while taking. Kinda like driving or using heavy machinery.
One fast and testimony meeting I decided to get up and bear my testimony about the things I was going through. It could have been a really great one too except the things I were going through on that particular week was the possibility of menopause.
Maybe I should mention that I was in a singles ward and you know that really kinda kills any chance of a date in the next week.

Story number 3
I recently had a biopsy done. Minor little surgery not too big of a deal. Usually I get medication after these to help with regularity. After the last on however, Nada. I really didn't think much about it until about 4 days later. Some slight cramping nothing too bad I made a mental note to talk to my doctor about it and put it out of my head. The next day I started to throw up more than usual and the smell I kid you not Like POO!! Well I was freaking out and of course trying to call my doctor with no answer did not help. I was with April, thank goodness!! Because her mom is a nurse and I did not believe that you can vomit poop. OK this may not be so funny yet, but the web page I was directed to you gotta check this out. I was rolling on the floor.
http://www.poopreport.com/
look in the section on vomiting poop...
You know what cures constipation? Laughing!!

I really and truely believe Laughter is the best medicine, especially if you use it instead of cream.

The Duck Whispererer....

So this weekend has been an eventful one for me!

Get self ready for move to St George ...check

Start packing .....check

Get ready for Mom and Cortni to come...check

Round up loose ducks in the back yard,

Pick up loose ducks in back yard and throw loose ducks in back yard over the fence so they can be closer to the pond in back yard...check

I think I finally know how Elmer Fudd feels as he is going out to hunt Daffy Duck...

I was sitting in the basement and I was getting ready to dye my cousins hair a little darker after she had a nasty run in with some bleach...(but that is another story)
We were down stairs and my "udder" cousin and his almost 2year old are in the back playing at the edge of the fence. Cute enough but not enough to get me outside until I hear everyone coming down stairs to go out. So I pop my head out to see what all the commotion is for.

Andy and Zachy out chasing a whole lot of ducks!

I am thinking awwweeee cute until it dawns on me that there are like 8 ducks in the back yard.
Andy is trying to wrangle them into a corner so we can get them over the fence and I am just laughing.

We finally decided it would be better to try together to get them through the hole in the fence and back to their pond home on the other side. So we get them to this crack in the fence but there is mesh on the other side and those ducks are having none of it.

After couple of tense poultry moments and several orange duck recipes running through my head we both realized this was never gonna happen and so I start to run right at these ducks, trying to get them over to Andy and he just out of no where pounces.

My initial reaction was oh no dead duck!! But sure enough with one swift swoop Andy had caught that bird by the neck and flung him over the fence.

I do have to say that after that it was much easier to get the little birdies and get them safely home. We had a real system...but still I was amazed at my cousins mad duck skills. I would have never guessed a man could be so quick it was kinda like watching Mr Miyagi with those magic chopsticks and the fly. Only he didn't have chopsticks and it was a duck.

He will from now on be the Duck whisperer' to me.

....... There is a part two to this story.

The next day I was in the basement again and my Auntie Lorna was down there too she knocked on my door to ask if I could help her with something.

She took me into the other bedroom in the basement and asked me if I could see what was in her window.

....You know those windows in the basements that are there if there is ever a fire so you can crawl out and if you are as short as I am wait 40 more seconds before you are burned alive cause you still cant reach high enough to pull yourself to safety....

As I looked out the window what do you think I found? TWO MORE DUCKS!!

And you would think that it would be easier to capture those ducks when they really couldn't go anywhere huh? Sad to say without the duck whisperer' I had not really the skills.

It took me forever to run those ducks down, round and round we went in this tiny window "hole".

Finally I got a towel and captured those stupid ducks, and sent them back over the fence where they belonged.

...Please note that besides the occasional loss of bodily functions from said ducks no actual ducks where harmed in our great duck round up of 2008....

I blame it on my brothers!!

So I am single and I have no kids...and I really have not a clue how to write a blog without the cute little kid stories, but its like 3 in the morning ...
(does that really sound like I am trying to write some sad and corny country music song?)
...and I have just been looking at my Brother's Blog Pages ( I go on their pages every once in awhile because they never send me pictures of their kids )

Any way I was looking and thinking to myself I can do that!!

So I set up a page came up with a clever name...(this is harder than you think, those old women who think its cute to give themselves grandma names!! Darn them for stealing my name!!)

I'm getting myself all ready to write out something clever and funny and it dawns on me, I am not really funny or clever, What in the crap was I thinking...(please refer back to the top of the page and the fact that it was 3 am when I started my first attempt at this blogging thing!!)

I am blaming my brothers, with their funny stories, their cute kids and the pictures that they don't ever send me!! All those clever witty blogs!! Do you hear me I blame you for giving me this crazy craving to write out my sad and pathetic life in a way that someone would actually sit down and choose me over their emails and facebook and solitaire!!

What will I write about that will be both entertaining and make you want to come back for more?

I guess In my first post I am going to have to do what any respectable 1st time blogger would do who is neither funny or clever!! I'm gonna have to steal material from a professional and so with out further adieu....I am gonna tell you about my name and have you play a game.... (I would like to take time out and give a personal thank you to the blog who I stole the name game from, a remarkably genius blogger seriously thank you Gwen Stoker you both amaze and inspire me to be a better blogger even if you have no clue who I am...)

MeeMoe comes from the Popular Latin Word "Medicatus"

Which in translation means to charm or enchant,

Actually I have been Meemoe for forever now to my Brothers, I think Zach had a hard time with my name and so was born MeeMoe!!!
