**falls over.** What a long day. XD;

... And you know something's really weird in your mind when you dream about a sequel to the WB cartoon The Scarlet Pumpernickel that has Daffy and Porky as a team like in the Buck Rogers parody cartoon and show, only Porky hates Daffy (like in the Scarlet Pumpernickel cartoon) and ends up betraying him by forming an alliance with Daffy's enemy the Grim Reaper (?!??!).... And somehow Scott was involved in the mess, but I'm not clear on how....

Okay, I confess, I watched The Scarlet Pumpernickel cartoon recently, but that was two or three weeks ago. XD; And I certainly wasn't thinking about it when I went to sleep this time!

(The cartoon, BTW, is one of the few WB cartoons that doesn't have their trademark violence. Daffy hits a couple of walls, but nothing bizarre happens when he does. XD; I think I read that the cartoon was partial inspiration for Darkwing Duck. X3 It does have a famous ending that is often censored, but I don't know that I think it should be, because censoring it could completely give the wrong impression of what happens. Though in any case, I don't think really impressionable kids should watch it. XD I was always okay with it, but I wouldn't have ever tried to pull a stunt like Daffy did. Even at a young age, I was shocked by it.)

Anyway, relatives were coming over today, so it was hectic finishing getting everything ready. And the visit was really nice! The little boys are so cute! I read to both of them and looked at some of my old books with the older one. I love interacting with kids. X3

Then we needed to go out and do a few things, but I didn't think we'd be long. XD; And I don't think we would have been ... except we had tire trouble. -.- Darn thing has a leak and kept going down, and finally got so flat it came off the rim. And the only spare was smaller than the other tires. So we had to drive home going through the towns and not on the freeway.

I did get phases 2 and 3 completed. At least, I think so.... I may need to add something, because some of phase 3 didn't come out as good as it indicated it would here at home. XD; Oops.

You know, I've never seen The Scarlet Pumpernickel? ...Should I...? XD; But wow, Scott getting involved in that is... weird... **Imagines him as the Informant and Daffy trying to get information from him... oh, the utter nonsense...**

Yay relatives and reading to the kids! ^o^

Bleah at the flat tire... a certain Rockapella song would be all too appropriate...

Ah, and the mysterious project... Too bad about phase three... XD;

I dunno. XD Depends on how badly it would disturb you that Daffy is trying to sell the story to WB and ends up pretending to shoot himself when he clearly makes up the last bit of the Scarlet Pumpernickel story off the top of his head and has him kill himself. The censored versions cut away from the scene and you hear the shot, but in the uncensored (which is what I think I've owned for years) you clearly see he only shoots a hole in his hat. The rest of the cartoon is actually pretty amusing, especially when comparing to Darkwing Duck.

LOL @ Daffy trying to get information from Scott! ... Now I want to write that crack. XD;

^O^

Yeah, it was bizarre. XD; Dad had to prop the car up while Mom and I were in it. All in all, I think we messed with the darn tire and its air for about an hour. **headdesk.** I would have been back in time if that hadn't happened!

And strangely, the Rockapella song never occurred to me. XD; Could have been because I was listening to From N.Y. at the time....

They used to let you go back with them and observe how things were coming, but that didn't happen this time. XD; I have some very pixelated stuff. Oops. Well, actually, only one really turned out that way, but it was one of the ones I needed most.

Bleah... **facepalm** Maybe I'll just skip the ending. I still can't believe that I was allowed to watch Looney Tunes and MGM cartoons when I was a kid... That stuff is seriously not for kids. I mean, I was flipping through the classic cartoons channel last week, and they had this downright freaky old MGM cartoon where a poison bottle with a skull cap on it comes to life and shrinks this guy down and puts im through a grinder so that he comes out as half a dozen little mini-guys. O.O The heck!? That made me cringe even at this age!

LOL, then write it! XD;

XD;

"They used to let you go back with them and observe how things were coming, but that didn't happen this time" ... when I work that out, I'll let you know my reply. XD; Bleah at the pixelated stuff, though...

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

... WTH? That sounds like something out of the Gumby movie. And it further confirms my thoughts that MGM is worse than WB. o.o **shudders.**

Sometime, maybe. XD **wonders if she could even write for Daffy, LOL.**

**snerks.** Have fun. XD **though did drop a hint by mentioning the pixelation.**

[rose-of-pollux.livejournal.com]

**throws it into quarantine with everything else already there**

XD;

Hmm... I have an inkling as to what it might be... but that little riddle there has me stumped. XD

[cskazaam.livejournal.com]

XD; That was a long day for you and me both! **stabs credit card fraud.**

**snickers.** That's totally on crack, what with Scott being involved! Maybe he fell asleep watching the cartoons and dreamed himself into it? XD

Looks like I was pretty clueless as a kid. XD; Cartoons were cartoons to me.... Except for certain anime. **shudders.** But some of those cartoons I can't really stand to watch anymore. XD;

Interacting with the kids sounds like fun! ^^ I always enjoyed visiting my younger cousins. X3

Bleh. Yeah, spare tires are never as large as the normal ones. Just large enough to get you to the mechanics. XD; And as Crystal pointed out... Cue the Rockapella song! XD

That's great that you got those completed! ^^ ....Whatever they are. XD But that's too bad about phase 3! Hopefully you'll be able to fix it up!

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Evil credit card fraud! **stabs it too.**

LOL! I'm still trying to remember what part he played, because it also seemed like Porky had made an alliance/friendship with him. But I'm sure Scott wasn't the Grim Reaper....

I was clueless on some things. XD The traditional violence didn't really bother me, but now I can't watch that without my hand over my eyes. **watches Darkwing Duck like that.** But when it came to suicide/attempted suicide, I always picked up on that. XD

Yeah, it was! ^^ They're cousins somehow to me, but I always get confused with the first, second, etc. cousins. XD;

**nodnod.** And unfortunately, all mechanics' places were closed. -.- Yay Rockapella song! **will watch that tonight for a good laugh.**

Hopefully. XD Or figure out something to do in addition....

[cskazaam.livejournal.com]

LOL. Scott as the Grim Reaper is just bizzare. XD

XD Yeah, I think I picked up on that too.... But I'm not sure I really completely understood the whole significance of it. XD;

LOL. Yeah, same here! I don't even know the difference between first and second and such. To me, a cousin is a cousin. XD

**flicks the mechanics' shops!** Such a fun song. X3

Good luck with it! ^^ Any progress yet?

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Totally. XD

XD;

**nodnod.** All that first, second stuff is so frustrating! Especially when you throw in once removed, twice removed ... gah!

Yep! LOL.

**nodnod.** Phase 1 is in the process of completion now. X3

[cskazaam.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, totally! I don't even know what that means, let alone how you figure something like that out. XD; They should just stick to naming cousins in the order they were born. First one to be born should be your first cousin, the next one is your second cousin, and so on.... XD

Awesome! X3 ....You should totally give this plan of yours a name that's completely unrelated to what it's about. Like all evil plans should have. XD
