3. Animaniacs - A lot of people think it's annoying, but I thought it was hilarious and it really did get away with a lot of social commentary.
2. Escaflowne - This is a lesser known Anime, but it was shown on TV here for whatever reason, and the animation was gorgeous. Even though I think Pokemon was my first anime, it showed me that there was more to anime than being weird (like Pokemon and Dragonball Z, which I never liked).
1. Batman: The Animated Series - Because it's the goddamned Batman.

3. Batman: The Animated Series
2. Johnny Quest
1. The Adventures of Tintin

Back from when I actually watched tv (This is pretty much a decade+ ago)
3: Dexter's Lab
2: Sagwa
1: Liberty's Kids (Even to this day, the theme randomly comes back to me)

Top three songs you've heard in the last week before seeing this post?

Mine are;
3: Honor for all (Dishonored credits theme)
2: Gekka no Duelist
1: Nyan Nyan Service Medley (TV size)

Zingoleb · « **Reply #153 on:** 18 Oct 2012, 16:12 »

on the subject of eyebrows, I'm just gonna leave this here:

but cartoons from my childhood that I remember enjoying a lot were...

3. Winnie the Pooh (out of all of these, this is the one I would still happily watch)
2. Pokemon
1. Sonic the Hedgehog (which was on at 2 but I didn't get home till 2:30 oh noooo)

Carl-E · « **Reply #154 on:** 18 Oct 2012, 16:14 »

Top three songs this last week;

3. Menelssohn's Ave Maria
2. Barber's Adagio for strings (OK, technically not a song...)
1. Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. (Bach. I shouldn't have to say that.)

Zingoleb · « **Reply #155 on:** 18 Oct 2012, 17:51 »

Top three I've heard this last week? Ooh.

3. Neon City Lights by Grendel
2. Exit Strategy of a Wrecking Ball by Diablo Swing Orchestra

Have you ever heard the choral arrangement of that? Beautiful!

Lines · « **Reply #157 on:** 18 Oct 2012, 20:53 »

It's downright heartbreaking. The original already makes me emotional, but the choral version...yeah.

VonKleist · « **Reply #158 on:** 19 Oct 2012, 02:20 »

3. I Think of Demons by Rory Erickson.. very cool singer from Texas who suffered from pretty bad schizophrenia from what I have gathered. He also made a sort of acoustic album in the 90's that sounds like Buddy Holly.
2. Brave Captain by Firehose .. 80s goodness
1. Rag Mama Rag by Levon Helm and Rick Danko .. I love these guys and that song is my favorite by The Band. Rick Danko had the best "rough" screamy voice ever.

Top Three Sport Practitioners.

valley_parade · « **Reply #160 on:** 20 Oct 2012, 12:15 »

Practitioners of sport? Like, athletes? Let me make two lists here.

Current:
3. Dustin Pedroia (Boston Red Sox). Scrappy, plays through injuries, gives nothing less than 100%. Won league rookie of the year and MVP in the same season. Ridiculous nickname (Muddy Chicken), speaks his own language, it seems.
2. Patrice Bergeron (Boston Bruins). Skill for days, and pure class on and off the ice.
1. Ryan Giggs (Manchester United). Not much to say that hasn't been said.

All-time:
3. Phil Esposito (Boston Bruins, New York Rangers). Not afraid to speak his mind. Prolifically good at scoring. Rad sideburns.
2. Ryan Giggs.
1. Roberto Clemente (Pittsburgh Pirates). Pioneer for current latin baseball players. Grace, effortless-looking skill, humanitarian. Died in a plane crash, headed to Nicaragua to help aid with earthquake relief in the prime of his career

Top three noodle/pasta dishes!

Lines · « **Reply #161 on:** 20 Oct 2012, 12:37 »

3. Pasta Primavera. Pasta, garlic, and all sorts of fresh veggies? I'm in!
2. Fettucini alfredo with chicken and broccoli.
1. Hard decision between homemade mac and cheese and homemade lasagna. Both are good. And my mac is definitely better than any mac I've ever had at a restaurant. But lasagna. So it's a tie.

Speaking of cheese, best three types of cheese.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #162 on:** 20 Oct 2012, 12:46 »

Ooh, my.

3. Goat Cheese with Roasted Garlic
2. I can't remember the type, but this really amazing lavender and fennel soft-ish white cheese
1. Whiskey Cheddar with Chives

...I REALLY like cheese.

I also REALLY like chocolate, and cheese and chocolate go together REALLY well, so top three chocolate brands.

Carl-E · « **Reply #163 on:** 20 Oct 2012, 13:29 »

3. Hershey's (shut up, I grew up on it, it's comfort)
2. Lindt - the fruit and nut bars are pure heaven
3. Ghiradelli - especially the caramel squares.

3. Frisbee tennis. I wish that'd kept up, we had fun with that thing.
2. Ultimate
1. Shower racing

jwhouk · « **Reply #170 on:** 21 Oct 2012, 15:11 »

.... "Shower Racing"?

valley_parade · « **Reply #171 on:** 21 Oct 2012, 15:44 »

It was a sport that this very board created about 5 years ago. People would race to see who could take the quicker shower, head to head.

IIRC, I think the record was set at something like 2 minutes, 18 seconds.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #172 on:** 21 Oct 2012, 18:16 »

If I were washing my hair, that would be unpossible. If I weren't, I could beat that pretty easily, I think. Fuck yeah, nudist lifestyle.

valley_parade · « **Reply #173 on:** 21 Oct 2012, 19:57 »

Hair washing was something that would be stipulated beforehand.

I'll embarrassingly admit that even with shampoo in play, I once lost one to Gemm.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #174 on:** 22 Oct 2012, 00:34 »

Clothing level before the race started was also specified - as was clothing level AFTER the race if someone needed to get redressed.

I suspect he meant LINDT (although not the US version).

How many racers before the hot water failed? Or was it cold? Cold=very short showers.

That's what I thought, but I thought it was funny.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #179 on:** 22 Oct 2012, 06:57 »

Each person is racing in their own shower, so hot water doesn't run out. It was usually done via the old forum chatroom, so someone would say "I need a shower" and someone else would say "I'll race you!".

Gota say Linds, you look delicious. nom nom.

VonKleist · « **Reply #180 on:** 22 Oct 2012, 07:04 »

hmm I can't bring my chocolates into order, just depends on the mood.

Also since white chocolate technically isn't chocolate..

Pilchard123 · « **Reply #184 on:** 22 Oct 2012, 11:42 »

Speaking of - Did you hear about the dissappointed Egyptologist?

He tried crossing Nefertiti and Titicaca and ended up with a pair of Nefercacas.

I think one time I beat that, but that is because I have short hair and it was summer so I was shirtless already.

From what I read it's not so much 'cannibal' but rather 'out'. But my impressions could be wrong.

I still don't quite get that comic strip. At the risk of it losing its funny, can someone explain it to me?

Zingoleb · « **Reply #199 on:** 23 Oct 2012, 16:33 »

Philippe is screaming at Lie Bot. What isn't to get?

I don't remember if there's more context to that strip, but it doesn't really need more; for me it's that I know how Philippe acts and interacts with everyone and I know how Lie Bot acts and interacts with everyone and it's just so very...fitting.
