The DCC: New Spring Edition coming soon 3/21!

[Saryka]

I was nine, and at school when 9/11 happened. They announced it over the P.A. system soon after it happened, and lots of parents came to pick up their kids from school right there and then, mine included. Both my parents came home early from work and picked my sister and I up from school out of fear something was to happen here (Ontario, Canada). We were all scared.

I was just leaving class and my mom said that some towers in New York had been hit and that the top of both had fallen, and I asked whether they'd still be around, but smaller. I didn't really know what was going on until I got back homr and turned the TV on, around four hours late.

I was like 10, but I was already reading a comic magazine with lots of political information by then so I understood what it meant not too long afterwards.

I was leaving school also; my mum's friend picked my brother and I up and drove us home, and the radio kept talking about an explosion in New York. Then, when we got back, all of the TV channels were on rolling news stations. For a spliiiiiiit second I was kinda annoyed that cartoons weren't going to be shown, but then I listened to what was actually happening and thought this was probably a good time not to watch The Cramp Twins.

Uh wtf is "The Cramp Twins" Cat Dog

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

This is The Cramp Twins, Toujours! It was never very good, but it was something I always seemed to watch for some reason.

 

[Rogue planet]

Dear God I hated the Cramp Twins. Although it pales in comparison to how terrible the Horrid Henry series is/was. My brother watched them daily, couldn't stand it.

 

[Oryx]

4Kids TV decided to cancel The Cramp Twins to put Mew Mew Power in its slot.

See, that name I know.

 

[Overlord Drakow]

Other way around for me. I know Cramp Twins but never heard of Mew Mew Power before.

 

[Livewire]

wtf are we talking about. Cramp Twins? And mew mew power? o.o

 

[Ivysaur]

Oh, I remember the Cramp Twins! I disliked that series, but it was on all. the. time. on CN Spain. I enjoyed the Powerpuff Girls, Dexter and Codename KND much better though.

 

[Yoshikko]

Never heard of Cramp Twins? I've heard of Tokyo Mew Mew but never watched it.

 

[-Jared-]

I vaguely remember the Cramp Twins...like, as if I watched an episode once or something and then never again. xD Looking at that picture reminded me of it.

 

[Yoshikko]

Also, I might have known it because I recognize the picture, but it had a different name here then, cause in Dutch etc. x)

 

[Tachikaze]

Happy dead old rich white guys day, everyone!

 

[Karma Police]

I have never heard of Tokyo Mew Mew or Cramp Twins. The only old shows I remember are Cartoon Cartoons lol. And some others like Tom and Jerry and stuff. I don't think I've ever disliked any cartoon show, or probably I just don't remember xD

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

I've watched some AMV's of Tokyo Mew Mew, but was completely unaware that it was ever released for broadcast outside Japan.

As for Cramp Twins, totally clueless on that one.

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

Happy dead old rich white guys day, everyone!

Well, at least when Obama bites the dust, the holiday will be more diverse. But that's probably not going to be for a while...

And my watching of The Cramp Twins isn't an endorsement; it was more a case of watching the lesser of two evils. It was - and is - by no means good.

 

[Esper]

It's not really a holiday. No one actually celebrates Presidents' Day. It's just an extra day on the weekend.

 

[Livewire]

It's more of an excuse to not do anything and 'celebrate' the Presidents. So, it's day to really not do much of anything.

One of my housemates works at an investment bank trading US bonds, and he essentially has US federal holidays off. MLK Day, Thanksgiving, Columbus Day, you name it! Added to that all of the British bank holidays as well as his allotted time off... it's like he's never there! :D
