When I was in high school, I always watched Cow and Chicken. I didn't enjoy it then because I thought it was just a freaky cartoon and I didn't understand what was so darn funny about it. I mean except for the fact that a cow and a chicken are somehow kids of half-bodied people, from the waist down, I didn't really think it was all that funny. I only watched it to pass the time without really paying attention to it.

So anyway, a few weeks back, when my sister, Joy was in town, we watched an episode in the wee hours of the morning, it aired around 4 a.m. on Cartoon Network and since there was nothing else on tv, we watched it and we laughed our asses off so hard our stomach hurt.

I finally understood what was so darn funny. I finally get their jokes. And I can finally appreciate the nonsense-just-for-fun theme the cartoon had going on. I can't get over the fact that Cow would constantly make this cow sound and how Chicken's accent is weirdly hilarious. I laughed out loud at their cousin whom they call Boneless Chicken, because that's just what he is, boneless. LOL. I remember one time they used Boneless as a kite and another as a frisbee and he'd constantly get stuck on the roof.


Also, the villain, whose supposedly a devil, named red, has his butt exposed, one time, he taped his legs to his butt because he was pretending to be a peg-legged pirate. LOL. He constantly tries to get Cow and Chicken into trouble just for the hell of it. However, thanks to Super Cow, Cow's alter ego, his plans fail and he ends up getting hurt in the end with Cow and Chicken reuniting with their parents. Super Cow only speaks Spanish and she uses her udder as a weapon. LOL.

Joy used to screw up the words to the theme song, she'd go, "..and a chigichigi bow" instead of "and he didn't care how". LMAO.

Listening to the theme song makes me laugh out loud because it brings back the memory of that time when my sister, Joy and I watched it together. Good times, good times.

For an adult, Cow and Chicken isn't that bad at all, it is hilarious and I am seriously thinking of downloading some of the episodes on my iPod, just for the hell of it.

I Remember: Totoro**

When I was a kid, I saw this cartoon and I never forgot it. It was called My Neighbor Totoro, it is a Japanese Anime film, back then Japanese Animes were famous. I don't know if you know him, but I really loved him.


The Setting: 1958, Rural Japan

The Characters:
Satsuki -- the older sister
Mei -- the youngest sister
Totoro -- the Keeper of the Forest
The catbus
Soot Spirits -- small house spirits seen when moving from light to dark places, but they leave when the girls become comfortable in their new house and laugh with their father. They look like dust bunnies with eyes, so cute!

So the story begins when Satsuki and Mei's mother became ill and they moved to a house closer to the hospital where she was confined and there they discovered all sorts of magical creatures living in their house and in the forest. One day, Mei when was playing outside, she saw what looked like 2 rabbit ears, only it turned out not to be a rabbit but a small see through kinda creature and so she followed it under their house, she didn't know what it was, she was too happy when she saw a bigger version of it appear, she called that bigger version "Totoro", although it said in the original Japanese dub, the word "totoro" stemmed from Mei's mispronunciation of the word "troll". Their father tells her later on that Totoro is the Keeper of the Forest.

One rainy night while waiting for their father's bus to arrive at the bus stop, Mei was at Satsuki's back, asleep, Totoro appeared beside them with only a large leaf covering his head, this is the first time Satsuki actually meets Totoro, she gives him an umbrella and he loves it, in turn he gives them something wrapped in leaves, which turned out to be seeds and some nuts, and then he boards the Catbus. That is my fave part, check out the video. I couldn't find one in English, I think the one is in French, but you get what they're saying.



I wish I could find a DVD of this somewhere because I'd want to watch it again and maybe let my kids watch it too.

Anyway, here's the theme song, I don't know Japanese, maybe I should ask my dad to translate, but the tune is catchy and I can't get the chorus out of my head. LOL.
