It's 92* in my neck of the woods. Don't know how it is in NYC...

I went to a Nascar Collectibles store today and got a rare Dale Jr. #1 Coca-Cola Chevy model. Here's a picture: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.ukslotcars.co.uk/images/Nascar%25201%2520Coca%2520Cola%2520Chevy.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.ukslotcars.co.uk/nascar%2520decals.htm&usg=__fDizDij9GdXyeemCtJhjsFl-YAM=&h=303&w=600&sz=55&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=y7UXpLfjjGLmkM:&tbnh=80&tbnw=159&ei=Do0cTo6VHOWs0AGbv5X1Bw&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%25231%2BCoca%2Bcola%2Bchevy%2Bnascar%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox%26rlz%3D1I7ACAW_enUS402US402%26biw%3D1366%26bih%3D528%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=642&vpy=270&dur=1000&hovh=159&hovw=316&tx=202&ty=106&page=1&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:17,s:0&biw=1366&bih=528 (picture not mine)

Epic Pikachu slapping action!! Adorable!

Pudding!!! <I'm getting in trouble, aren't i?>

It still is after all this time.

I knew it!!

Isn't that the same actor who plays Plankton (Mr. Lawrence)? But seriously, Spongebob needs a reboot. The series has gone (dare i say) stale in recent years. A good example is the "Mystery with a Twistery" that aired recently. It was (again dare i say) very overhyped, and I was sincerely let down by it. Not only was it way too short (A story like that needs at least a good 45 minutes), but it was just not very entertaining. The jokes were lame, the action unrealistic, and the plot (especially during the climax) too far-fetched to be taken seriously. A reboot like Tomb Raider and Star Trek just had would suit the yellow sea creature well.

Is there a hidden message in all of this?!? @JoelUpFront: Your signature is something that Quark would say, while mine is something that Picard actually did say! @SI Subway: This is your face

Oh crap...

Who is that, if you don't mind me asking? I said that TS reflected early computer animation, it is just that A Bugs Life, which started development only three years later in '94, has much better graphics and detail. And hand drawn animated movies are not dead, look at Ponyo (Studio Ghibli) and the Princess and the Frog (Disney), as well as hand drawn television shows like the Simpsons, South Park, and Spongebob Squarepants, that are well into their lifespans and are well-established. If anything is dead, it's claymation. When's the last time you saw a claymation or stop-motion film?

Hooray for the 3368th post! Has any other thread lasted this long?

I knew about Mario Andretti, and millions of people did for decades. Mario Andretti is the Babe Ruth or Michael Jordan of Indycar. He won 4 championchips, an Indy 500, and a Daytona 500 (in nascar). So, yeah he was popular. Michael Schumacher voicing the Ferrari (who's actual name is Michael S. Ferrari ), however, you may have a valid point for. Because the charachter is not named until the "Cars Finder" on the blu-ray disc, and most people don't sit to watch the credits, that fact may be known to only a select few. What's so awful about it?

Ummm.... Why are they showing disney clips? B) Anyway, this is my 300th post, and the 1000th in this thread! Say congrats to me in a PM!

You missed a few; ratatouille, the incredibles, Fining nemo and Monsters inc. you forgot. or did you not see them? BTW, Pixar is making a sequel to Monsters inc, it's called Monsters University. I don't know if it will match up to the original without Pete Docter, but I digress Anyway, here's my list (I am not including Cars 2 because I have not seen it yet): 1: Cars (I love cars, and thus I love Cars. The touching story and lovable characters don't hurt, either) 2:Wall-E (A robotic romantic comedy with subliminal messages about the environment and obesity. What's not to like, even if it borrows from other movies (cough cough short circuit cough) ?) 3: Finding Nemo: (I loved this when I was younger, and I still do. These life messages are not so subliminal, and the comedy keeps the story rolling. I love andrew stanton!) 4:Toy Story 3 (Memorable story and classic toys meeting many new. A must-see. I just have one question: what took you so long, Pixar?) 5:Toy Story 2 (10 times better than the original. Pixar started to mature as a company around this point, and TS2 shows it.) 6: Up (I sense a pattern of touching stories with pixar movies, and Up is no different. The creativity here is genious. The movie is a little stale in the beginning, though...) 7: Monsters Inc. (The only reason Monsters Inc. is #7 is because everything else is better. Monsters Inc is legendary, and it's no wonder that Pixar is making a sequel. Again, what took you so long?) 8: Ratatouille (The story doesn't flow well, although it has charm. Brad Bird could do better, but it's good as is, for the most part.) 9:Toy Story (Don't get me wrong, I love this movie. But Pixar could do a lot better animation- and story-wise. Pixar was still starting out, and this movie reflects that. I would have liked to see more, though.) 10: The Incredibles (See first sentance of #9. However, The Incredibles was over-hyped, and the story is a typical superhero-fare plot. While Toy Story and A Bug's Life have the exuse of being the first Pixar productions, this has no alibi.) 11: A Bug's Life (This is the only Pixar movie I don't like. I don't dislike it, it just never really got me into the story. It also seemed kind of rushed to me. It's still very good, though, just not good enough for Pixar's standards)

He's Evil by the Kinks (sorry, again no video) When I was little, I thought the song was called "gazebo" B)

being loud is fun!!!!!1!!
