The copyright for this movie was registered in 2009. It is clearly a sanctioned image and our family not only owns a copy of the DVD but also the WII video game. Your daughter is welcome to borrow either.

Also, look, they even have little twinkly things around the Three Musketeers tagline.
Thanks for the offer. She might be interested. She has been a big My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fan and has now gotten more into Pokemon stuff.

Cool, when your basement is "upstairs" it means you have an even lower subterranean level. Either a bomb shelter or maybe a dungeon. Or both?

Both. Actually my husband can confirm I speak like I think. You need to fill in the parts that don't makes sense to find out what I mean. I sent two of the three kids (who sleep upstairs) downstairs. :) Duh.

And speaking of duh, yesterday the 4yr old was working on writing a "book" about cats. "How do you spell 'duh'?" Why do you want to spell duh? "You know, DUH cat". She doesn't quite have the 'th' sound yet . . .

At least it's not My Little Pony torture videos. That stuff is messed up.

Are they worse then Boomer Sooner Cyclone football torture? :confused:

Somewhat concerned that it is Saturday morning game and kids might inadvertently flip into this from their Saturday morning kids fare.

One of my babies is going to the game. Hoping he is prepared for Boomer Sooner and doesn't get assaulted in his Cyclone gear. He is bringing a large friend.

The grammar thread calling out CW didn't last long. The OP put "tsk tsk" and Chris's name in the thread title. Did people think he was being serious? I took it as a lighthearted and bad attempt at humor, but I never thought he was being serious. His name is bipolarcy for pity's sake.

Mine got into Pokemon cards because some of her friends did, but neither she nor have ever watched an episode. I honestly have never gotten the appeal. It came after my time.

There are some pretty good cartoons out there that have good humor in them. Scooby Doo, even the reboots, still brings some good stuff. Teen Titans Go and Gravity Falls are also solid for some good humor. Phineas and Ferb used to have good dry comedy, but I haven't seen that in awhile. They may have stopped making them for all I know.

Dana House flashback, watching the Duane and Floppy Show and classic Warner Brothers cartoons in den with the other less then serious students (the non-engineers).

If there was one constant during my ISU years, it was walking through the Union at noon and the TV room would be full of people watching Duane and Friend. And of course most of the cartoons had been memorized, so people sat and shouted the lines in unison with the characters on TV.

We tried The Smurfs drinking game one Saturday before a football game. I'm not sure we even made it to the game and if we did I'll guarantee that we don't remember much about it.

Phineas and Ferb is another favorite.

They seriously need to bring back the jimlad. The sarcasm detector on this site is on life support.

Almost got hit head on by a guy texting. He was coming into my lane, well over the center line. I see him look up, swerve back over and then immediately look down at his phone again.

More farmers must have planted beans this year. Grain trucks non-stop.

I had it saved on my pc at work but the hard drive crashed so I lost it. I need to copy and save it some time when someone else posts it.

Our library used to have a 10 DVD limit per account. Now there is no limit, even if I try to impose one. We usually end up with 4 Dora, 5 Barbie, a few My Little Pony Equestria Girls, and obscure DVDs that you wonder how they were ever produced. Last visit we returned Barbie and The Video Game Hero at the same time we picked up another copy of Barbie and The Video Game Hero.

The Ames library does not have the original Dr Do Little and I refuse to watch the newer ones. It makes me sad. On the last visit to the library I encouraged Z to choose some books. I think she glanced some over for 10 seconds. Oi!

We were travelling back to eastern Iowa a few weeks ago, and you could spot the texters from a long ways away. Driving slower, drifting, and as we'd pass, there they were on the effing phone.
