I guess company really matters more than where you go to have fun... MOS was just ok last night... started getting crowded cos today's a public holiday... Smoove was packed as usual... but the music was danceable.. just that the people I was there with... well... weren't really much into dancing to the music.. More like using the same moves for the entire song... Pretty much got boring after a while... Met one or two friends there... but didn't really talk much, given the loud music there...
I guess the letdown wasn't the music, it was the company... literally killed my mood to dance... Nic and her friends were trying to get into Zouk, but opted to go somewhere else cos it was too crowded... Smoove had space... but they weren't letting ppl in, so it was kinda hard for her to get there too... If she had been there, the mood would definitely have been different... Hehe...
And yes, I'll say it right here... I miss dancing with Nic.. Lol.. (enter "Awwww").. although she'll probably try to slap me for that... Hahahaha... *wink*
Couldn't stand it so I left around 1.30am... drove to Esplanade to find some food.. the rest were hungry... Met Nic there too.. Lol.. Eating with her friends... And it may just be me... But I swear that when she left the table... after a while... I saw her friends looking in my direction... Hrrm... Hahaha... Weird day... Oh well... Can't have great days all the time..
Guess the major highlight of the day was the fight that broke out near the entrance to smoove where I was... Lol... Some idiot got so worked up he picked a fight with the bouncer at the door... WRONG MOVE... It's pretty different when the bouncers get serious... Even if the girl the guy was with was screaming her head off... They know how to intimidate them enough so they back off... But then again... what do you expect from the usual bengs and lians... Hehe...
That experience was the only interesting thing at MOS last night... Lol... Think I was kinda tired after Pat's class too, my ankle was acting up... Choreo was interesting... I liked the music.. eventhough I still made mistakes with it... He still put me in for this year's DR... Somehow... I'm not sure if I wanna do this year's DR.. Guess it will all depend on whether I get a reply from HSA.. or if my own work starts to get demanding...
Oh well... time will tell... Gotta get ready for Shrek 3... lol... Nic said it wasn't that great... but well... think it'll still be good for a few laughs... Haha...

Sometimes, parents can be irritating.. That said, I'm not saying I dun love my mother... I do... I owe her a lot and its a debt I'll be repaying for the rest of my life... But sometimes, they just irritate you...
She kept asking me about my results today... So fine, I did well enough to graduate... but I didn't hit the CAP I wanted to, and neither did I manage to do Hons, which was actually one of my aims when I entered Uni in my first year... But as Nic said... with all the crap that happened in these past 3 years, I don't think anyone else could have been through all that and still produced straight As... I did work my ass off this entire sem though... I guess it just boils down to the fact that I just lost interest in the subjects...
Studying something you're interested in will probably be very fun and all... and you'll remember better... but trying to study for something you lose interest in... well... things just won't stick... Me taking LS was just because there was nothing else for me to do in Science... If they had a degree in Forensics.. Hell man... that would have been much more interesting for me... But they didn't... all they could offer was one measly Forensic Science module in Yr 2... Which I actually went for and sat through the lectures... eventhough lectures were 3 hrs long, on a Friday evening no less, I wasn't complaining, cos I actually found the module interesting... But there was so much more that could have been taught... Just that there was no time...
It just gets irritating when you tell your parents your results, and all you get in return is... "No A ah?" Or even when you do get an A... "Why the rest no A?" That's just plain irritating... I'm no genius you know... If As were so easy to get, I would have gotten them already... And yeah, so I can't do Hons... Not like I still have the interest in doing it anyway... I'm not going to put myself through another crappy year in NUS just because having those 3 extra letters behind your name will give you a better pay..
I'd rather get paid less but do the work I want to do... It's more for the experience than the money...
And now that I want to try something totally different and new... I'd rather not tell them yet... cos unlike me, they're not willing to take risks... I am... I still am rather selective with what I risk... but I do try to factor in everything before deciding... whether the risk I take is worth it even if I dun succeed... If I can't justify that risk, then I'm not as willing to do it...
Just like my little ebay thing going on now... sure... I can take risks all the time and try to sell just about every model I can find.. but factoring in the costs and estimated profits/loss... some are just not worth getting to sell...
Even my investment risk profile is high... but... only because that amount I used is an amount I have no use for at the moment... and I'd rather try to see how much I can make it grow, rather than leave it in a bank and make a measly 1.0+% interest on it annually... Why make 1.0+% interest annually when you can make 10+% interest annually?
I'm taking the road less travelled... I realised I usually do actually... Even back in pri school... when everyone was choosing Temasek Sec from Temasek Pri, I went to Tanjong Katong Sec... when everyone was choosing NCC land, I was choosing NCC sea... When everyone was scared of biology... I went for it... And most of the time... I was happier...
Its just that this time... its gonna be an uphill task... and I'd better put on my climbing shoes... cos the view at the top is what I want to see... its getting there that needs the work... My future counts on this... and I'm not gonna waver this time...

Managed to squeeze some time out to head down to Millenia Walk to see the Torque Supercar showcase... and boy was it worth it!!I'll let the pictures do most of the talking...
Porsche Carrera GT... the ONLY one in Singapore... Damn beautiful car... If I wanted to get a Porsche next time, this would be the only Porsche on my list... lol...
More pics of the Carrera GT...
Gigantic brakes man... and apparently made from Silicon ca-ca-carbite... lol... As mentioned in Top Gear...
Kinda artistic shot of the car... lol... Can see the whole side profile... Damn nice...
And this is one sexy ass of a car... Lol... *drooool*...
And when I walked outside to see the rest of the cars... I got a shock of my life... I saw this...
The one and ONLY Mclaren F1 GTR LM Road Car in Singapore!! The World's FIRST fastest production road car!! *droooool even more*
More pics of this beautiful baby...
These are the famous wing doors, that only the Mclarens have... too bad they didn't open up the doors... looks damn nice.. the only other car that has doors like that is the Mercedes Mclaren SLR... and see... it's also developed by Mclaren... Haha...
Then I saw this... jaw droppingly GORGEOUS in red...
America's only modern supercar... the Ford GT... simply breathtaking...
Artistic shot again... lol...
And again... lol...
One of the two ferraris on display... the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano... Didn't really take a lot of pics of this one... I still think the F430 is better looking... lol...
The newly released Lamborghini Murcielago LP640... in striking orange and black... I think this colour scheme is the best for Lamborghinis...
The cars outside were arranged in a circular fashion, around the central column in the driveway... with the Mclaren F1 and 599 GTB flanking the rest of the cars... These next two pics show the rest...
Then I went to see this beauty... Ferrari F430 Spyder... It just looks splendid everytime I see it...
This car has the best engine note I've ever heard... a group of 8 ferraris were driving down orchard today... and I heard them coming... beautiful music... Hehe...
Then went to look at this black beauty... The Aston Martin DB9... another gorgeous car...
I can honestly say that if you asked me to choose between the DB9 and the F430... I wouldn't be able to make up my mind... They both look good... and perform great...
This next car is more for people who are looking for luxury... The Bentley Continental GT...
This is more like a luxury sports car... Hehe...
Hrm... blogger seems to be having problems... so I guess I'll end here for now... Hehe... Updates another day!

There's something called 'professional courtesy'... Its when you're doing the same business as me, have the guts to tell me that you are, especially when we were supposed to be doing it together... I never expected this from a GUY no less... Really starting to doubt if you're a man in the first place...
What I find really ridiculous, is you asking me for MY help to set up the auction on ebay... telling me that you're helping your 'friend' sell his model, when I was there when your 'friend' said he didn't mind pass it to us to sell on ebay... And to think I was so nice to help you get the model too... Tot I could at least pack it up first... WTH...
And what's even MORE ridiculous, is you calling me later, to offer me another 'business proposition', of selling another different model that may be damaged but repairable... Why? Feeling guilty that I found out??
This is totally ridiculous man... You're a GUY for goodness sake... Have some guts to tell me that you want to try one auction on your own... Want to do, but don't know how to, still come back and ask me for help? You think I'm a fool??
I may look happy-go-lucky and ok with anything... But I do know more than that... And I definitely can read people better than you... I'm really tempted to just throw that model to you and see how you settle it... Cos I'm VERY sure you'll end up complaining about it... You ALWAYS do anyway...
You think just because you're the one putting up the cash first, you can go behind my back? I'm doing all the fucking work ok... Setting up the auctions, monitoring them, answering emails, packing the models, printing the shipping orders, bringing then down to the post office and sending them off... All you do is sit back and shake leg... I should be getting more than 50% for the work I'm doing man... Sheesh...
You're a guy... GET A BACKBONE!!

To a good friend...
Lost - Michael Buble
I can't believe it's over
I watched the whole thing fall
And I never saw the right man was on the wall
If I don't land
Days were slipping past
That the good things never last
That you were crying
Summer turned to winter
And the snow it turned to rain
And the rain turned into tears upon your face
I hardly recognized the girl you are today
And god I hope it's not too late
It's not too late
'Cause you are not alone
I'm always there with you
And we'll get lost together
Till the light comes pouring through
'Cause when you feel like you're done
And the darkness has won
Babe, you're not lost
When your worlds crashing down
And you can't bear to fall
I said, babe, you're not lost
Life can show no mercy
It can tear your soul apart
It can make you feel like you've gone crazy
But you're not
Things have seem to changed
There's one thing that's still the same
In my heart you have remained
And we can fly fly fly away
'Cause you are not alone
And I am there with you
And we'll get lost together
Till the light comes pouring through
'Cause when you feel like you're done
And the darkness has won
Babe, you're not lost
When the worlds crashing down
And you can not bear to crawl
I said, baby, you're not lost
I said, baby, you're not lost
I said, baby, you're not lost
I said, baby, you're not lost

I've got new happy song!! Michael Buble's Everything!! Such a great song!! Just makes me wanna sing along all the time... Hahaha...
You're a falling star
You're the getaway car
You're the line in the sand
When I go to far
You're the swimming pool
On an August day
And you're the perfect thing to say
And you play it coy but it's kinda cute
Oh when you smile at me you know exactly what you do
Baby don't pretend that you don't know it's true
Cause you can see it when I look at you
And in this crazy life
And through these crazy times
It's you
It's you
You make me sing
You're every line
You're every word
You're everything
You're a carousel
You're a wishing well
And you light me up
When you ring my bell
You're a mystery
You're from outer space
You're every minute of my every day
And I can't believe that I'm your man
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can
Whatever comes our way
We'll see it through
And you know that's what our love can do
And in this crazy life
And through these crazy times
It's you
It's you
You make me sing
You're every line
You're every word
You're everything
And so la la la la la la la
So la la la la la la la
And in this crazy life
And through these crazy times

You're every word
You're everything
You're every song
And I sing along
Cause you're my everything
Yeah, yeah
So la la la la la la la
So la la la la
I just got hooked on his new album... Call Me Irresponsible... Great songs in that album... with great vocals... Very good for easy listening... Some of the songs, just gives you visions of where it would be perfect for it.. Like Me and Mrs Jones or Always on my Mind... Just listening to those songs makes me envision a candlelight dinner on the top floor of a skyscraper, with a great cityscape view, topped off with champagne and strawberries, with great conversation and great company...
Or Wonderful Tonight... perfect background music for dinner on the beach, just as the sun sets... and you can see the sun melting into the horizon, turning the sky orange, then red... and you two just soaking in the view, not a care in the world and just each other for company... That's just brilliant... =)
I just absolutely love listening to this album... Think I've been listening to hip hop a bit too long... Its time to relax and chill.. with Buble... Lol... =)

Darn it... forgot what I wanted to blog about... lol... This is so irritating... Ugh...
Nvm... shall talk about something else... BYOB day!! Lol...
Yup... BYOB day stands for Bring Your Own Bag day... but somehow, many Singaporeans are viewing this day as PFAPB day... Pay For A Plastic Bag day... Can't tell you guys how irritated I am just hearing what some Singaporeans thought of BYOB day... Seriously damn idiotic...
It was already said that BYOB day was to help cut down on unwanted wastage of plastic bags, to save the environment... And that if you had to get a plastic bag, it would cost 10 cents, with the money going to help environmental conservation efforts... But apparently, many Singaporeans suffer from this weird illness that causes them to go deaf the moment the word "Pay" is heard... Apparently this is a quite common illness among Singaporeans known as, Atypical Semi Sensory Exception Sufferers, or ASSES...
It seems that these ASSES will experience a sudden momentary loss of one of their senses when a certain word is heard, in Singapore, it is almost exclusively the loss of their hearing when the word "Pay" is heard...
These people, at the moment the illness strikes, will lose their hearing, and at the same time, develop an irrational paranoia that the Government is out to get their hard earned 10 cents... But, at the same time, they will start to whine that the Government should do something about their problem...
The only problem I see here, is their lack of responsibility towards caring for their environment... I wonder what happened to all those Clean and Green campaigns we went through as children... Was it suddenly changed to Scrimp your Green campaign?? What happened to all those geography lessons about global warming, pollution and conservation of your environment?
If it was only the senoir citizens who were complaining about the plastic bags, it might have been more tolerable, after all, they might not know about the impacts on the environment... But these comments are coming from adults... WORKING adults for goodness sake... EDUCATED working adults, who would rather use his t-shirt to carry his items then fork out 10 cents for a plastic bag... What's up with that??
It's not like this is going to happen everyday... Its only once a month for goodness sake... and only 10 cents... not like giving up that 10 cents is going to make you a bankrupt...
So much fuss over having to pay 10 measly cents for a plastic bag, when the whole idea was for you to BRING YOUR OWN BAG... You guys are already lucky they didn't decide to NOT provide bags at all...
What can 10 cents get you these days anyway? One phone call? One sms? You can't even get a fishball anymore... So why bother to scrimp on that single coin? People can donate to Mcdonald's Children's Fund, I regularly see nearly full donation boxes for them... with not only coins, but notes as well... even 10 dollar notes...
But people won't lift a finger to help save the environment? Why? Just because the environment isn't yours?? Newsflash people!! The environment is EVERYONE'S... You live in it, grow up in it and die in it... Wouldn't it be logical to try to take care of it then? Just because it isn't something that you can hold and hug doesn't mean it isn't important...
This fuss over 10 cents has overshadowed the main point of BYOB day... and that is about saving our environment... You people already have a choice, bring your own bag, or pay a small fee for one... the money collected will go to helping conservation efforts....
So what if plastic bags should be provided as part of the supermarket's service? This is an initiative by the Government... You people are just too used to being pampered by the 'nanny-state'... Everytime there is a problem with anything, the first thing that comes to mind is... "The Government should..." Whatever happened to "WE should...."???
Have we become so dependent on our Government to right every wrong that we have become incapable of indepedent human common sense? So its BYOB day... Bring Your Own Bags ppl!! Its that simple... if not, just fork out the measly 10 cents, its helping to make a better future for your children...
This society has become too obsessed with instant gratification, always thinking "What do I get out of it"... How about for once, we start thinking ahead, towards our future and see that helping to save the environment will benefit everyone??
Kicking up such a big fuss over 10 cents like its $10 000... sheesh... Have we become a society of materialistic, superficial miserly sheep in a flock?
Like carrying a foldable plastic bag with you when you go shopping is going to kill you... Nearly everyone carries a bag when they go out anyway... Just put it in your bag and use it... People can do that for wet umbrellas but not your groceries? That's just plain dumb...
I bet that someone who grew up in a country where people carried their own shopping bags whether or not the store provided them with it, would laugh at the absurdity of all this... In fact, I think they already are... I know I am...

Hrm... 2 posts in one day... I'm on a roll... lol...
Today was movie day!! Went down to school to get Office 2007 from IT Co-op.. then met Nic for lunch after her horrendous Organic Chem paper... Dun worry nic... I suffered through that as well... lol...
Munchie Monkey's seriously getting worse... the food wasn't as good as the first time... and it seems that they're always running out of something...
Ran into Xu zi and a few other friends there too... most still had papers.. Oops.. xP
With lunch done, and of course some slight commenting on the Dancefloor results, I headed to Plaza Singapura to check out movie timings for Wild Hogs... Felt like watching it today when I was on the way to school.. so I called the only person I knew didn't have anymore papers... Callie... lol...
Reached PS earlier than expected, walked around a bit, explored Plaza Sing, after my self imposed isolation of 10 days at home, I seriously needed this... Did some window shopping, checked movie timings at PS, then headed to The Cathay to check those timings... The Cathay had earlier timings, so I decided to grab a cuppa while waiting for her, and scoot up in a corner with a good book...
So there I was... sitting on a comfy sofa, in Starbucks with a cappuccino on the side table and a good book in hand... looking out at everyone walking past the window... Sigh~... its been too long since I did that... I miss those times we did that in Aus bro... Hope I can visit you soon... =)
Wild Hogs was alright a movie... some quite funny scenes, but some parts were kinda long... and after awhile, you kinda get sick of the bumbling tech geek gags... Some of the gags were predictable... You could see it coming and were just waiting for it to happen... There was some character development, but not equally among all of them... and that weird gay cop just disappeared after a while... could have been funnier if he'd stuck around longer... I guess the best part was actually at the credits... Special edition of Extreme Makeover... lol...
On a side note... the popcorn was great... as was the company... =)
Had some time to burn after the movie, so we went back to PS to window shop a bit... Saw some nice shirts at Domanchi... tempting me to buy sia... lol... Then went to Action City cos I saw this cute mushroom table lamp that looked like it fit on her table.. heh... But we were both more amused by those furry
gigantic paw gloves... take a look... couldn't resist taking a few pics, before we were told by the staff that we couldn't... bah... helping you advertise leh... lol...
"Meowr~" but no claws today!!
OMG!! My hand's all hairy and swollen!! Cute swollen hand though... lol...
We kinda window-shopped all the way to Taka... quite surprising that its so hard to find an artificial red rose... heh... I kinda realised that I could be a semi-fashion consultant... lol... I pick nice clothes, good shoes, appropriate accessories sometimes... now if only I had enough cash for all of them... lol...
Recently stumbled upon this good find too... Finally found something suitable for me...
Cool right? Found them at Queensway... $16... so its kinda like 1 for $8... Matched my bracelet too... lol... since both have matt and gloss areas... Got my shoes too... new Adidas... $73... quite good price... the soles are better too... not as grippy as the Superstars, so I can turn and slide more easily when I dance... Got both of those items before the reading week... when I went shopping with Wenyan.. lol...
I have no idea why... but I just love those rings of mine... Never really felt so strongly about an accessory before... It just spoke out to me... Guess its always been the way I do my shopping... Something to do with the 'Wow' factor... if the particular item I'm looking for doesn't look just as good in real life as compared to the pic, then I'm still not going to buy it... No matter what... some ppl couldn't get why... its all about happiness, I've got to feel happy about what I buy... and not just buy something cos its there, or cheap... Thats not how I work... Especially when its something I'm looking for in particular... But I digress...
Shopping with Callie's quite fun... We're each other's fashion advisors sometimes... lol... I pick shoes for her, she picks shirts for me... lol...
Grabbed a snack with her at taka before she had to change and leave for work... I've only got one thing to say... DAYMN... Lol... *wink*
Looking forward to Spidey 3 and Pirates!! Lol...

8 Important Lessons Learnt From 80s CartoonsBy Ethan Ryan and Jack O'BrienCARTOON: The Smurfs
LESSON: Communism works! For naysayers who point to the Former Soviet Union as proof that communism is inherently flawed, may we merely direct your attention to Smurf Village, where everyone shares everything, wears similar utilitarian clothing, battles Gargamel and his turn-Smurfs-to-gold get rich quick schemes and obeys the dictates of a bearded, red hat-wearing, benevolent authority figure. Quoth Comrade Papa: “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.” Really, he actually said that.
How it affected us as adults: Secret communist agendas ceased being dangerous, or really any adjective of consequence, years ago. The worst thing communism does these days is make Ivy League students waste a couple of years wearing ugly clothes and attending boring meetings. However, the sexual politics of Smurf Village, with its one female for every 30 guys, did go a long way towards preparing us for freshman year of college.
CARTOON: Popeye
LESSON: Spinach is good for you. Sure, it doesn’t taste as good as candy, ice cream or opium, but it’s full of essential vitamins and minerals that’ll make your muscles explode like battleship cannons. If you want to triumph over the bullying Blutos of the world and win the affections of your own lovely, leggy Olive Oyl, pound a can of spinach at least once a day. Or put it in your corncob pipe and smoke it, like everybody’s favorite ornery, mumbling sailorman. Toot toot!
How it affected us as adults: You only need to look at the steroid scandal rocking Major League Baseball to see that Popeye raised a generation that is willing to use performance enhancers. Also, it should be pointed out that Olive Oyl was the first anorexic sex symbol.
CARTOON: G.I. Joe
LESSON: Knowing is half the battle. The other half of the battle is kicking Cobra’s terrorist ass. And with the coolest soldier codenames ever --Snake Eyes, Duke, Lady Jaye, Shipwreck-- winning the war on terror should be no problem. Good will always win out over evil, because good guys work together (Team Work! Cooperation!), while bad guys are ruthless cowards who turn tail and run whenever G.I. Joe’s laser guns get to zappin’. As Sergeant Slaughter once said: “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people and neither do we.” Now that’s some good strategery.
How it affected us as adults: Actually, we’re pretty certain that our strategy for the Iraq War was conceived after a two day long G.I. Joe marathon in the Pentagon. They just implicitly trusted that the good guys were going to win, that firing off our guns would make the bad guys run for the caves and that giving everyone cute nicknames was somehow endearing. When things didn’t turn out the way they’d planned, the administration placed the blame on faulty intelligence, or in other words: “Knowing is half the battle, and we unfortunately didn’t know shit.”
CARTOON: Scooby Doo
LESSON: Trust no one. Those phantoms in the fog are actually malevolent hicks, dressed up as ghosts to scare you off their spooky farm. That monster hiding in the attic is actually old man McGee, trying to find the treasure buried in the floorboards. And that happy-go-lucky frat boy, Fred, is actually a bloodthirsty killer. Don’t turn your back on him. Or the girls. Or your dog…Or maybe we’ve just been spending too much time in the Mystery Machine, and got a little contact high paranoia. Hey, it happens. You want a Scooby Snack? Yeah, it is dog food. So what? You’re really harshing my mellow man. What are you, a narc?
How it affected us as adults: We can’t be certain, but it would appear that our habit of, upon being dumped, grabbing hold of our ex-girlfriends’ chin and yanking upward, started with this show.
CARTOON: He-Man
LESSON: It’s OK to be gay. Look at this guy: golden locks cut in a tasteful bob, buff biceps, tanned, toned, hairless torso, a magic sword and most importantly, fabulous powers. What’s more, He-Man invites his handsome friends, the Masters of the Universe, to come hang out in his castle anytime. Of course Skeletor and his fugly cohorts are never allowed access to the secrets of He-Man’s dark, dry palace.Yes, we had He-Man toys, like Ram-Man, Trap-Jaw and even Castle Grayskull. We also had a favorite pair of tighty whiteys that had He-Man on one cheek and Skeletor on the other, battling over our asshole. But did merely owning and wearing that underwear make us gay?
How it affected us as adults: As regards the above question, it’s a very complex matter, but in a word: yes. (For more on depictions of homosexuality in '80s cartoons, please see Care Bears.)
CARTOON: Jem
LESSON: Grrrls rock! OK, this was more our sister’s show, but we certainly watched it on more than one occasion, and learned that chicks with guitars and magic earrings kick ass. Jem is a sexy feminist living every young girl’s dream: music executive by day and rock star by night. She has it all: a bubblegum pop band called The Holograms, a boyfriend in love with both her and her alter ego and, for some reason, a foster home for orphans. In addition to teaching us how much grrrls rock, Jem also taught us that love triangles between only two people are often messy, confusing and potentially hilarious.What? You’ve never seen Jem? Oh. Neither have we.
How it affected us as adults: Let’s just say the matching restraining orders filed against us by Debbie Gibson and Joan Jett didn’t happen on their own.
CARTOON: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
LESSON: April O’Neil is really hot. She’s got red hair, wears a sexy yellow jumpsuit and gets down with anthropomorphic pizza-fiends. Most girls want nothing to do with dudes that live in the sewers, but not April O’Neil. She doesn’t even mind hanging with that old man-rat wearing a pink kimono! This girl is a freak, for real. I’ve got one word for you dude: cowabunga. Cowabunga that chick in your underground lair all night long.
How it affected us as adults: Mistakenly thought our girlfriend would be cool with it if we called them dude, ate nothing but pizza and wore a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle mask during sex.
CARTOON: Transformers
LESSON: If we’re not careful, robots will kill us all. This is a humbling lesson for any child to learn, but an easy one to accept, considering Transformers was one of the coolest cartoons of the '80s. Would the Unabomber have renounced his violent ways if he were to witness the sheer stunning spectacle that is Grimlock? Hard to say, since he didn’t have a TV. But we will tell you one thing: when machines replace humans at the top of the food chain, we’ll be standing on the sidelines, waving our Autobot flag with fervent pride. Because, let’s face it, getting eaten by an alien car would suck.
How it affected us as adults: The reason we stay away from Priuses and make our TV wear a blindfold when we sleep at night.
Haha... funniest thing is... I know ALL the cartoons they're talking about... Damn... really watched too much TV when I was younger... lol...
