It's Morphin' Time

I think I loved (Love?) The Power Rangers!?

As I got older and realized I couldn't actually fly
(Thanks for the bruises Peter!)
I moved into a more, how shall I put it?..."Kick-Ass" phase. I did so with the arrival of the Power Rangers! How amazing were they? The original Mighty Morphin' ones, not the new ones!


One of the best parts of each episode was when they Morphed from normal teenagers into unstoppable heroes!

"It's Morphin' Time...Mastodon, Teradyctal, Triceratops, Saber-Tooth Tiger, Tyrannosaurus"

I remember it like it was yesterday! Because it was yesterday, Jetix on Sky are showing repeats! Woooo Hooooo!
Opening Sequence


Jason, Zack, Billy, Trini and Kimberly, you are my heroes! But they wouldn't have been as successful as they were with out the shows other many elements.

The Goofs: Bulk and Skull

The Bad Guys:, Goldar, Lord Z, The cleverly stupid Putty Patrol and of course Rita Repulsa!

The Good Guys: The God-Like Zordon and the genius Alpha-5 (or Alpha to his friends)

They are simply the best! What more is there left to say except...

Ai ai ai ai ai!

Pan's Got Me Hooked

Me And Peter Pan

My middle childhood was mostly dominated by the infectious Peter Pan. Especially the Speilberg epic, "Hook"! I watched it so much I literally wore the tape out, or at least thats what my parents told me! Mmmm?

One of the best scenes from the movie...The scene when Peter finally realizes that he was Pan!

Food Fight


Of course where would Peter Pan be without Tinkerbell? Well I don't know!? But I do know he wouldn't be able to fly without her! It was Pan's ability to fly that led me to love and loath him. While watching "Hook" I would climb to the top of my sofa, Think of my happy thought and jump. Sometimes (More often than not) I'd overshoot the couch completely and land face first on the floor!

Peter Finds His Happy Thought


Recently, while browsing Amazon I came across a DVD version of "Hook"! Talk about priceless! As soon as I popped it in and the magic began, I glanced at the couch and thought, Maybe not this time!

Back In The Day

The Early Childhood

Tots TV


A forgotten classic! But now that I look back over it I can't help but wonder why are the two lads living with a little french girl who can't speak a word of English!?

---

Rosie And Jim


What a pair! But John!? He kinda creeps me out now...He writes books about his two puppets while sailing a boat for a living!?

Some Questions that popped into my mind...

1) Why does John write in such big letters?

2) When Jim jumps up against the glass...Is he trying to escape from John?

3) What are Rosie and Jim...Cause if they're brother and sister I don't think they should be kissing!?

Rainbow


Zippy, George and Bongo! Legends!

I see a weird pattern emerging here...All the shows creep the hell out of me now! They were wrong on so many levels. ESPECIALLY this clip from Rainbow. It's a priceless video!

I think I just ruined my own childhood!?

"The Best Of Three"


The three stages of my TV childhood that is!

I wasn't on TV or anything...It's just what I watched!

Reasons why?: I need three more blogs before deadline!

Blogging Is Tough

Especially when you can't think of anything to write about!!!

Any ideas?

Kill Bill

Not literally of course!

Kill Bill, What a movie! Tarantino, What a legend!

The Bride, Uma Thurman, on the day of her wedding was gunned down and left for dead. She wakes up in a hospital years later after a coma. The baby that she was carrying is gone. The only thing on her mind is to have revenge on the assassination team that betrayed her - a team she was once part of: "The Deadly Viper Assassination Squad"



Daryl Hannah, Viveca A. Fox, Michael Madsen and Lucy Liu
The story is so vast Tarantino split it into two volumes. Both equally brilliant, visually beautiful and overly gory!




"Those of you lucky enough to have your lives take them with you. However, leave the limbs you've lost. They belong to me now."
- The Bride

Holidays Are Coming

Its official the Coca Cola christmas ads have started to air!



That can only mean one thing...Santa's on his way!!! So what are you getting!?

I really feel like buying myself the "Tickle Me Elmo"! Its on a shelf in work and every time i pass it I press the 'Try Me' button and I can't help but smile!

However there's always the scrooges that call it a money racket (Sorry if your one of them!) but lighten up! If there was no Christmas we'd have nothing to get excited about at this time of the year!

We could always celebrate the freezing weather or it getting dark at 3 o'clock!? Anyone up for it?

Of course there's always the true meaning of Christmas; That famous guys birthday!? Isn't it?

According to Family Guy he was over-hyped!...





Merry Christmas
From me and my special red blog

Tickle Me Elmo

I want one!!!

Torrie Wilson

If You Don't Like Her...Watch Your Back!

Who is she? Well its kinda hard to explain without leaving something out! So I'll try and sum up her "Amazingness" (Is that a word?)


For those of you that have made it this far...Thank you!


"Torrie Wilson, a Boise Idaho native, has been one of WWE's hottest Divas ever since debuting in 2001. Torrie got her start in WCW, but she quickly made the transition to WWE. No matter where Torrie Wilson is, though, she's always turning heads."







In fact, her beauty is so great that she began her career as a model and after years of weight problems and a four year battle with bulemia (See...Shes got depth!...Shes not just a pretty face!) she broke free from her agency and began fitness modeling.






Weeks into her career Torrie entered the Miss Galaxy competition and came 13th (Awwww!), But with a year of experience under her belt she returned and won the competition! Miss Galaxy 1998!

Theres lots more I could write, I haven't even touched on her 6 (Nearly 7) year stinct with WWE but when I talk about her "Torrificness" (Definately not a word!) people tend to get bored and tune out! So thanks for reading til the end!






Watch her...Love her!

Oh Sweet Moses!!!

WARNING: Post may contain a rant! Bus Eireann lovers are advised to look away now!


Thank goodness for Matthews Coaches!

Never again will I step foot onto a Bus Eireann bus!
It was the single "most creepiest" experience of my life (...Involving buses)



Ok so its Monday, class ends late, I walk to the bus knowing that its never on time! Of course this is the one day its super early! I walk around the corner and see it at the stop. Knowing i'll look like an ass if I run for it and miss it, I just casually walk a little faster...No use, it pulled off! (I wasn't even getting on that bus anyway!)

Dilemma!? Wait an hour for Matthews or get Bus Eireann? I decide to wait for Bus Eireann...Oh what a mistake! After a while the people at the bus stop began to stir...the bus must be coming! I looked off to the right and all I could see was a rickity mustard coloured bus chugging down the road! "This CAN'T be it!"...Yup...It was!


Don't be fooled into thinking your getting value for money!
Its cheap for a reason!

I felt like KEVIN in Home Alone 2 when he gets stuck between the rocks and the scary pigeon lady is coming after him! That bus was not a fun place!

I found a seat close to the front so I didn't have to venture too far into the unknown! I sit down in who knows what AND I felt like I was sitting on the engine of a boeing 747! (Well actually maybe not! It only went like 4mph)

But I wasn't alone...apparently "RYAN WAZ ERE - JUNE 6 - 04 - SHAM". It was also nice to see that it hadn't been cleaned in 3 years! What made it even better?... The flies "humping" there way across the roof! (How is that even possible?)


DON'T travel with these people


Oh it goes on...It smelt like musty old men (Not that I go round smelling musty old men!) and when I "tried" to look out the window I went blind. I honestly thought I'd lost some of my vision...Why? because the window was covered in Vaseline, as you do!? To put it politely WTF?

The best of the rest?...

1) Helping an old lady find the green page so she could play Bingo on LMFM!

2) Passengers fighting with the "ignorant" driver

3) The guy touching himself

and

4) The cellotape holding the steering wheel on!


The joys of travelling with Bus Eireann


How people do it every day I'll never know, but I do know I'll never get them again! The extra money each week sure is worth it!

Matthews Coaches I love you! I will never betray you again! I'll wait in rain, hail and snow until you show up and I really can't wait to see you tomorrow!

Funny Comics Taking The Net By Strom!

OK, maybe I exaggerated a little bit but you get the idea!

Lucky Theres A Family Guy!

Where would we be without Family Guy?

Its a cartoon in a class of its own...Its the emmy award winning Family Guy! It has proved so popular that it is the only show to have been cancelled twice and revived because of its huge fan base and soaring dvd sales!

Legendary one-liners and classic moments, for me cement it as one of the best cartoons of Generation X...if not ever!

But what makes the show are the characters...Especially Peter and Stewie!

---

Stewie



The loveable but evil baby intent on killing his mother!...
It sounds sadistic but its so funny!

Stewie Annoying Lois

---

Peter



Peter THE "Family Guy". Peter is the heart of the show and provides the most memorable jokes on a constant basis! He'll have you wetting yourself with laughter and crying in pain!


Peter Hurts His Knee!

Love it or hate it...You gotta love Family Guy!
