Whew! Is that all?! I thought for a minute we were gonna' get another
H*ns*n "Fanfic" there...
Uhhh, I think people want 'em 'cause they're there. ;)
As for me, most of the WB merchandise I have has been gifts from friends.
I guess once you know what a freak someone is for a particular pop culture
dohickey, it makes that someone easier to shop for.
I do have a couple of A! toys that I rescued from Goodwill (49 cents ea)
and a couple of PatB figures that I actually bought myself. What tickles me
most about the mice is that they're actually "to scale," about 2-2 1/2" tall.
Someday I'm gonna' snap a photo of my cat nose-to-nose with Brain for my
neato-cool website, <sigh> assuming I ever *have* a neato cool website.
I don't collect the WB stuff more feverishly because most of my disposable
income goes to music. A person can only support so many expensive bad habits at
a time. I *do* have one A! CD (again, a gift from a friend), which sort of
covers both bases, eh?

I personally collect them so I can display them. Therefore when
someone comes into my room they will immediately know I like A!, P&tB, or
whatever I have up on the walls on the computer, in shelves, on top of
stereo speakers, etc. They make good conversational topics. The best
reson I'd have to say is because there is something relaxing about a room
full of A! stuff. It just reminds one of the show which usually puts me
in a good mood. Anyway that's my reason for it.

Because they are there. (Or, rather, they used to be.)
When I was a really young kid, back in '77, a certain flick by Lucas ignited
a merchandising storm. I had most of that stuff. Now it's gone, lost
throught the years.
From '77 to now, only one other thing has prompted me to get a show's or
movie's merchandise, and I think that speaks volumes for the show in
question. Animaniacs.
Of course, that doesn't count the countless posters, records, etc I had of
Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, etc, back when hair was big and jeans were
tight and holey.
My wife seems to think along your lines... I guess when there's something
that touches me, I tend to want to be reminded of it. Hence, the plushies,
the coffee mugs, the keychains, and the license plates on my car. (FABOO)

Oyea - went to Outback Steakhouse last night. Was surprised to see the car
parked next to me, a very un-youthful Cadillac, had a Wakko bend'em sitting
right on the dash, to the left, next to the clock.

I don't think Western Civilization is ready for that.
Well, some people do get offended when asked about likes and dislikes.
I don't see the attraction in stuffed animals, or soft toys, or even the
well-designed P&tB Macwhoozit give-aways.

The cartoons haven't made as much of size as they could have. When I see the
Brain driving a GI JACK car, or Pinky next to an executive desk toy, it makes
me eager for more, to see exactly how they don't fit in to our world. Maybe
with the new series . . .

Here's an answer nobody's given yet (that I've seen so far). I have A!
stuff because
Yakko is soooooo cute, and he looks lost without Wakko and Dot. Some
girls buy Leo DiCaprio posters, shirts, whatever...I buy Yakko Warner
stuff. Then of course, because the Warners would never be spereated, I
have to buy Wakko and Dot.

Well, I'm huge on small toys and figures. I draw cartoons a lot, and it's nice
to see a 3-D view of them. That and they're really neat to have flood your desk
and shelves. As for other A! stuff, I have them all on tape, and have all the
CDs. I really with there was an under score from the show (or at least Batman's
underscore) on CD.
My dad hates seeing all my stuff, but my mom didn't really say much when I
stuck the little Rugrats stampers (they look really nice. They're of Angelica
and Lil.) in the basket when I went back to school shopping.
As for other A! stuff, one more thing that I do have that i really like is my
Potty Emergency coloring book. This is really huge. Probably my favorite
episode, which I think is why I bought it. I have more cartoon stuff floating
around my room. Most being A! Some Rugrats and Disney stuff too. More video
tapes than anything (most are my project tapes. Guess how many and win a new
car.)

Hmm, not sure exactly what you're thinking of.... I think it's part of
the charm, really -- they don't make a big deal of it, because that's just
the world they've always lived in. I mean, you're not saying there's
anything *unusual* about a couple of talking mice trying to take over the
world, are you?!? It's perfectly natural for Brain to use an eraser as
a chair, or build scaffolding out of popsicle sticks. (After all, when
Pinky realises he's sitting in a mouse-sized chair in "When Mice Ruled the
Earth", he freaks out!) I rather thought they've been quite good about
being "realistic", yet subtle, in making the mice use ordinary objects in
extra-ordinary [to us] ways.

Hmmm ... can't exakkoly think of one that has it only on the back. I suppose

Aninarf as for Slappy (and/or Skippy) stuff ...
World Trend Inc. made toothbrushes, hairbrushes, and combs with Slappy. They
also made a Slappy/Skippy pen (in which I've worn out twice already). And of
course there's the McD toys.
That's all I remember off the top of my head ...

Actually, since they have no fuzzy surface or friendly (ie-catnip) smell,
the cats aren't interested in them. I have several small plush toys that I
have to keep shut in closets because I can't get the cats to stop attacking
'em.

Hunh-unh... I found a really great combination!!
And because I am a giver goddess, I'll share it with you!!
Take a typical paper hot-drink cup. Add a scoop (probably the equivalent
of 3-4 tsp) of sugar. Fill the cup about 1/3 to 2/5 full with chocolate
chips. Fill to the brim with nice hot coffee. Let it sit for a few
minutes, then stir it a little, and drink it. You get this
chocolatey-coffeey taste, then you get to the inch or so of chocolate that
didn't mix with the coffee, which looks horrible but which you eat with a
spoon. Then, you're good to go.

DODGE DART: Words & Music By Neil Gladstone, 1988
<Sung in a parody of those Beach Boys Car Songs>
Now everybody wants to prove how hip they are.
So, they borrow up the wanger and they buy a brand-new car.
In the first three days, there's a dent in the trunk.
By the time they pay it off, it's a piece of junk.
When're they gonna' get smart?
Dodge Dart.
I've got a brown '67 sedan, with a big, slant seat.
(go Dodge Dart, my little Dodge Dart)
Well, she burns a lot of oil, but she's mighty cheap to feed.
(go Dodge Dart, my little Dodge Dart)
She starts up easy when the engine's cold.
The cops don't bug me 'cause they think I'm old.
She owns a little piece of my heart:
Dodge Dart.
Go, little Dodgie
Go, little Dodgie
Y'know I like your style.
Go, little Dodgie
Go, little Dodgie
Another 50,000 Miles.
So Please don't brag about that brand new car you own.
(She's really smokin', she's really smokin')
'Cause I can drive to Argentina for the interest on your loan.
(And we're not jokin', and we're not jokin')
She's got four bald tires, and a hole in the seat.
But with her lifters clickin', she's the Queen of the Street.
I'll drive her 'til she falls apart.

Oh, I wouldn't mind. Lots more company. Ya know, a boy did the same thing in
the book The Indian In the Cupboard.
Yesh. Men, go fig? Thought I might post this. Last March I did my little tape
count of ALL the video tapes I have. Whether it's from a project (these are
video tapes BTW), things off the TV, or I bought. As of March of 1998, I have
347 video tapes. it's well past that now. I think my parents have more LP's,
and I have more magazines of many sources stashed away. I don't think anyone
wants to know how many little toy figures I have. That #'s scary, and I don't
have a place for all of them.

Well yeah ... at best, they have a funky plastic-y smell. At worst, it

Hmmm ... that actually sounds like some other a.t.a.er's cats. 'course if
Wakko really were a dog, he'd attack back.
There goes Plato's Warner/canine-ism theory ...
Then again, those PatB slippers ... the Brain looks so scary that it scared
away another a.t.a.er's cat ... so I suppose there goes the cat-chase-mouse
theory too.

Can't be around 1500, 2000, can it? 'cause that's around how many we have
here. Don't ask why ... it ain't completely my fault. All I know is that I
have A! on prolly at least 40 or so tapes; some to be edited, some already
edited, and some I have no idea that I have it on it.

I think ... another 16 in the mail? Can't remember ... mebbe more.

If some of ya's out there are pondering where I'm still finding all these

The *really* scary thing was the real count then was probably higher. 495
only covered what I had the most recent time I'd remembered to do a count.
Scarier still: Right before the current count, I'd sold off about 36 of
'em.

I did, they emailed back how grateful they were that all their kids could go
to Ivy League colleges now.

Rubbish! Hey, some news for ya, Kane -- plushies are not real characters!
They're not alive! ...unlike the *real* Wakko, who, since he *does* exist,
would of course fight back. Now, if you ever see the real Wakko being
attacked by a cat and just lying there, *then* I'll think about admitting
they're not dogs!!!

See! Well -- actually, Brain probably is likely enough to scare away
your typical feline (cf. "The Third Mouse"). (Pinky, on the other
hand...well, cf. "Pinky and the Cat"...)
