Heh, the funny thing is 'pokemon' is a name of a newly found gene that causes cancer. The gene's name is POK Erythroid Myeloid Ontogenic factor. Read it in a magazine at my Uni. When I read that my friend and I filled the whole library with laughter.
"Pokemon is a member of a family of proteins that are known to be transcription factors and are mutated in human cancer."

I don't see Pokemon as a bad anime, when you're watching it as a kid. It's not meant to be directed at adults, anyway. Even though I don't fancy them anymore just means that I have grown out of the 'kiddy-ness' that it promotes. At one point I found myself a crazed fan playing every pokemon game that came out. Yes, even Snap.

Man, you guys make me feel old. Well, not really, but maybe a little. Pokemon was after my time, so I’ve never liked it. Ninja Turtles are still kind of cool though.

Yeah pokemon was after my time so I never really liked it. So I guess I did outgrow it. Wierd though cause stuff I did like as a kid i still like now, but stuff that came after I was of the right age I don't like. Strange world. But pokemon is just huge marketing scheme to me and thats what I dislike about it. It just like crack for kids.

Yeah, that's a good reason why I don't like Pokemon either. I don't know though, I can think of tons of stuff I liked as a kid, but utterly hate now, like Power Rangers. Yeah, I'm talking about when that shit first came out. Damn I hate that ghey shit now though. It just needs to burn, BURN I SAY!

Awsome. I have seen a celebratry here or there, but not that close in that normal of a setting. I guess my best was once I was eating in the same resteraunt as Morgan Freeman. He was several tables over. He was up in Montreal filming something.

Hm, never been that close to a celebrity. Well, except this one time. I had gone to a concert, Metallica's Summer Sanitarium Tour. As we were walking out to the car, Kid Rock rode by hanging out the top of a limo. He shouted at us, so we shouted back. I think he was like ten feet away at the time. Unfortunately he was in a moving vehicle, so it only lasted a moment.

Yes, I know that fool!

Argh! MS Word Spell Checker, my loyal companion, you betrayed me! How could you do such a thing! To the stocks with him!

I’m a king see, I can do stuff like that.

*Guard mumbles in the elven man’s ear*

What do you mean you don’t know how to lock computer software into the stocks! I won’t have such logical retort presented before me. Away with him I say!

*The guards doubtfully carry MS Word Spell Checker away*

Ah, that’s better. Now where were we? Ah yes, that’s right. So I says to Mable I says…

I dont have microsoft word or excell or any of that stuff. My idiot brother wanted to clean out our comp and tryed to reformat it. What he ended up doing was deleting the important programs and the the games and the music downloaders (kazaa, ares) so now i do all my papers on wordpad and it has no double space feature so i just send it to one of my friends they double space it for me and they send it back...... God as my friends say everything in my house turns to shit. The comp was top of the line when i bout it 3 years ago now its fucked up on so many levels. Ive lost nearly all the remotes in my house(its a bitch) my plumbing is shit my refrigartor never seems to keep my milk cold and my ice cream stays mushy. My bead creaks like a mohter fucker etc etc


..another one of my incoherient ramblings ..I know..
