Please tell me I am not the only Marsupilami fan out there!! I have loved this show since I saw it on Raw Toonage back in the 90s. I;m currently on the trail of tracking down the series to enjoy it again but damn has it been painstaking!!

I found an awesome looking CGI film called "Houba! On the Trail of Marsupilami" released in 2012 but it's in Greek and so far I have found no English dub or subtitled versions. Sad so so sad cuz he looks super cute in CGI.

Don't get me wrong I really liked Bonkers but for some reason this long tailed critter was my fave.

A friend of mine from work had been looking for a couple of CDs from an Ohio band called McGuffey Lane (he has no access to the nets O.o) and I said I'd see what I could do since he knew I have a huge music collection.

Whelp this is a first for the pup I actually cannot find the two albums he wants and can only find a few of the stuff they released even on Youtube which is usually one of my last option when I can't find songs. I found all but two songs from the first album and several dead torrents. Even my mainstay of rare songs, Soundike, only has a couple of MP3s and not the ones I am looking for.

So any chance that one of you watchers has any their CDs? I'd greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me.

I was surfing teh nets the other day when I came across links to a lot of the old cartoons I used to watch on Saturday mornings. (For you kids yes when I was younger we only had cartoons on Saturday mornings!)

It brought back a lot of memories and I decided to do some in depth searching and it was a lot of great feels. Not all great however consider it lead to me punching my older brother at one point cuz in our house the first kid up got control of the remote. One morning I was the first awake and was snuggled on the couch watching my fave 'toons when he comes out and picks up the remote immediately changing the station to what he wanted to watch. After a bit of arguing and his refusal to change it I beat the shit out of him. To some this may not seem like a big deal but he is 2 years older than me and constantly beat on me. Mom and dad came home and mom took him to clean him up from the bloody nose and all dad says "About damn time!".

Anyway back to the good feels. I went after an extensive search to find these cartoons to watch and YES I found tons of them (surprisingly many are not on DVD) on Youtube and many a time was spent watching them.

Ya know it's bad enough that the electric company keeps fucking me over with these ridiculously high electric bills now I have to pay them even more money to pay my fucking bill.

AEP automated as I enter the amount: "I'm sorry we cannot accept a payment for more than $500 in one transaction."

Ok fine I'll call to talk with a representative.

Me: I need to pay my bill but the automated bill pay says I can't pay more than $500 at a time so I need to make a payment through you.

Rep: That's correct Sir you'll have to make two payments for that amount.

Me: Aren't you getting enough money from me as it is so now you want me to pay even more just to pay you what I owe?!?!? (They charge $2 and change for each transaction)

Rep: Do you need to review your account Sir?

Me: Review it for what????

Rep: For your total amount due.

Me: No I already know how much I owe why do you think I'm calling to make a payment! (At this point I am getting pissed and I think he knew it)

Rep: Well then Sir you'll need to find an in person pay site.

Me: I'm going to that right now online thank you!

Rep:...... I hung up on him in midsentence so I don't know what the hell he was yammering about at this point.

I think mom had too many of her meds today cuz as she was moving the rocks around one of the tree's (she and dad are doing a massive downscale of their landscaping due to them getting to old to take of it....rather more like she is getting too lazy!) when she stirred up an ants nest which they then scurried all over the tree and ground area.

Well normally this wouldn't be all that funny but mom then comments on the fact that there were two species of ants and she called the one ed rants which caused both me and Puppet to burst out laughing and me to make the comment "Oh does Ed have a blog now?" (to which she of course did not get the joke due to the fact that she is technology impaired) which made Puppet laugh harder!

As if it were not funny enough when Puppet investigated further cuz red and black ants do not co-mingle we found out they were in fact Japanese beetles which the last I checked look nothing like ants. XD

This afternoon we were helping my mom in the yard when we got a hankering for some caffeine courtesy of Tim Horton's and Starbuck's. Mom said that she wanted some taco's from Taco Bell thinking we were just going down the road when I said to her that it was gonna be a bit cuz we were going down to 36/37 freeway and not St Rt 61.

She got all moopy at this point and was like oh never mind then *sighs yay yet again* I decided I wanted tacos at this point so we decided to get them anyway. I don't like the cheese they use and it can actually make me sick to the point of vomited if ingested so I asked for mine to have lettuce and meat only. They got it right on the order ticket but when we got the taco and Puppet checked it lo and behold it had cheese but no lettuce which prompted her to say "Cheese it the new lettuce who knew?"

We both laughed about helping relieve my annoyance of the situation and when I went in to exchange it the manage actually took care of it gave us free cinnamon crunchies YAY BONUS!!!

We were at Meijer today and I overheard the funniest thing ever.

Me looking at the trading cards when I overhear this behind me.

Guy: "Is that Godzilla?!?!!??!?" Seeing the new Godzilla toys from the upcoming American film.

Me: "Uh yeah and that other thing is supposed to be Mothra.

Guy: "Mothra?!?!?! Looks more like a techno bat"

Guy playing with another of the toys.

Guy: "Why is he so fat?!?!? He's like huge and his head is small....*he plays with the toy that makes 'zilla move and shake* "Look he's doing the truffle shuffle!"

At that point we lost it and couldn't quit laughing, we've been joking about it since.

Guy as he walks away with his son. "I hope they don't end up ruining any of your childhood icons...but then again your generation hasn't came up with anything original yet."

Kid: "What about Star Wars?"

Guy: "Uh let's talk about that ok"

Today at work I went to use the urinal in the men's room when I happen to look up and seen several boogers on the wall. >.<

Ok who the fuck stands there with one hand on their cock and the other digging for green gold?!??!?!? And then to wipe it on the wall?!?!??! Seriously!!!!

A lot of the guys at work I would really hate to see their homes especially when it seem several refuse to use the urinals (we have walls between them. Yes short enough to see the person next to you but still) because apparently they are afraid someone might see their tiny little baby dick!!! Now normally I wouldn't give a shit but dammit they don't lift the lid, piss on the seat and then don't flush! If you can't hit the fucking hole without making a mess SQUAT TO PISS!!!

FUCK I thought I worked with adults not a bunch of preschoolers.

I woke up this morning to find my cat Socks in the fireplace (mind you it has glass doors and a wire screen that were closed) and he was just sitting in there like "What?"

>.< I wouldn't mind so much I guess if it was cleaned out or there wasn't the chance her could go up the chimney but otherwise I haven't clue as to what made him wanna lay in there.

At work we seem to have this ongoing problem of theft in the lunch coolers. Seems someone is stealing soda's (some of which have already been opened and drank from) to actual lunches and snacks.

I was the victim of the latter as I had an oatmeal cream pie snacky cake in my lunch bag and it was swiped. >.<

It's sad someone has to go to this length and it's even after in Monday's meeting we were all told whoever it is if they get caught they would be prosecuted as this is still theft and it will not be tolerated apparently this did not deter them.

We went over to my parents this afternoon and my mom dropped this whole "You don't want to see me in pain or suffering anymore right?" I replied "What!??!?! Are you saying your going to commit suicide?!?!??"

She went on with the whole shpeal about how she has been praying to god over the years and all she keeps getting is worse and how all the doctors she has seen haven't been able to help her. She says she is in constant pain and is afraid her stomach issues are cancer and she doesn't want to die a slow agonizing death.

She does this shit every so often when she is no longer the center of attention she finds ways of getting it back on herself and in an attempt to ruin someones special event or holiday too. This comes not long after telling her some great news on my front that would indeed put a lot of the spotlight on me. She even brought up dad would be better off and happier without her around as well including that he would have more money. (So she finally admits she's a shopaholic)

I kept trying to reason with her but she kept on with the "I'm not doing this for sympathy" crap and kept trying to make me feel guilty that if I wasn't ok with it she would go on in agony. I finally stormed off telling her I wasn't going to say I was ok with it and wasn't going to give her the go ahead to do it if it would let her rest in peace.

I honestly don't even know what to say at this point. Many of you long time watchers of mine have read many of my journals about her evil exploits against people and IMO god hasn't answered any of her prayers because of the evil she has wrought upon others.

We went to town the other day for a few various errands and I had been using my debit card at each of the stops with no issues. However we stop into Family Video and I go to buy some used DVD's when my card is rejected and it states that it was reported stolen or lost!

I was seriously freaking out and immediately called my bank to find out what the hell was going on and apparently Target had been compromised and anyone having used a credit/debit card there had their cards frozen and a new card to be issued. I was pissed having not much cash on me but it was understandable and could have been worse if my account had been drained so we shuffled off to my nearest bank location to get the cash we needed to finish shopping since I didn't have my check book on me.

Today how ever I was at Wal-Mart and had purchased a small amount of items and when I handed her the check it came back declined...I immediately panicked!! I called the number on the receipt to find out why it had been declined and it stated it wasn't due to non sufficient funds but rather a lack of history with my checks at Wal-Mart............*facepaws really REALLY hard* ok dumbasses how do I gain a history of my checks with your stupid ass company if you don't accept my FUCKING CHECK!!!!!!!

I don't even.......

Day two of our Illinois vacation with our bestest bud Ces and things have been great. His apartment is really nice and the area has lots of stores were gonna explore later. We had dinner from a local Chinese place called Gong Ho and it was amazing!

We opened presents after a introducing Ces to the show called My Cat From Hell. Puppet got a new game for the 3DS I got her and a Facebook credits card and I got Nikki Sixx book The Heroin Diaries. Motley Crue are one of my fave bands so I was definitely stoked to read (to which I did today in just over 2 hours >.< my reading speed scares me sometimes) and he loved the stuff we got for him.

We're gonna be here for 2 more days and I don't wanna go home but sadly I need my job lol.

We had our family Christmas on the Eve as we do every year. Last year my mom thought it would be funny to get Puppet a pair of sexy snowman panties as a gift and never warned her they were in the bag. Needless to say she was mortified when she pulled them out for all to see (I don't think anyone did as she stashed them back in rather quickly).

This year however went much better as everyone got along and no one made any smart remarks toward us nor were they mean to Puppet. The gifts were nice other than getting me gift cards to the movie theater as we seldom ever go. But still the thought was nice. Dinner was good other than my brother globbing butter in all the veggies to which he claimed he didn't. I ended up getting a new can of corn out of the cupboard so me and Puppet could have some veggies and not butter with a hint of corn. >.<

Now you ask what about this twist you mentioned in the header pup? Hehe well I wore the panties that mom got Puppet last year to the party.

This song is just epic!

As my 6th anniversary approaches I sat and reflected back over the years I have been here on FA. Some good times, some bad times, many a good friend made.....and lost for reasons I don't know why. Not to mention how rough the last couple of years have been that I almost just rage quit and walked away.

But I digress if it wasn't for FA I wouldn't have ever met the most wonderful person in my life. I am grateful every day having met her and it never fails to brighten my day when I see her smile (yeah yeah sappy husky is sappy so sue me :P lol) I can't help but feel giddy knowing she is sharing my life with me.

I also met one of the coolest dragons in the world around that time as well and our friendship has grown to the point I see him more as family than just a friend. He's been there a lot when I needed him and lent a listening ear and what advice he could on situations. Plus he's been there when we needed a helping hand. We're going to visit him next weekend and I can't wait I'd leave today if it wasn't for the fact that I have to spend Christmas with my family here (groans).

Don't get me wrong those of you that are still my friends I am ever so grateful having gotten to know and please don't think I mean to take any of that for granted. Those of you that still talk to me mean more than I think you know.

Anywho I am open to hearing how your time on FA, or even in the fandom in general, has been and have I been as good a friend as I could have been.

I finally got some time off work after working 19 straight days due to needing parts for the new car models. I was really starting to get exhausted to the point any amount of sleep just didn't seem like enough.

I was anxious to get the Christmas shutdown started so early last week I asked my boss if any one had ETO (Earned Time Off) and he said 8 of the allowed 12 hours was taken *YES!!!* So I immediately took the other 4 hours.

My day went fairly quick and before I knew it our lunch break was here (2:30am is a weird concept for lunch but meh that's 3rd shift for ya) my boss brought in pizza so I stayed long enough to munch on some of that and chat with my co-workers before heading home.

First night off and you guessed it I slept for over 12 hours (I'm normally 6 to 7 hour a day of sleep husky) but I feel well rested and looking forward to enjoying the next 12 days.

We're gonna spend 4 days of it visiting our friend and the best dragon in the world, Ces. To which we both cannot wait for!!

Puppet has never had a real tree growing up and the fake ones make her break out so I promised her this year we would get a real tree.

Dad was suppose to let me borrow the truck and having asked him earlier in the week if I could use it this weekend I made plans to use it Sunday. However he tells me it's full of wood he has to drop off at my brothers and then I was welcome to use it. Problem there!!!! My brother is notorious for talking shop with my dad and he always indulges him so I figured no way was this gonna be a fast trip so, after measuring the back seat, I decided to take the car instead and just stick part of it out the window.

We went to our local Kroger (a grocery store here on the east coast) and I selected a nice looking one from the bunch then attempted to put it into the car......it didn't fit :/ so I called dad and asked if he could stop by with the truck so he did and off for home we went.

After a bit of searching I found a suitable stand and set about setting up the tree.........it won't fit!!!! WTF I thought cuz this was advertised as being a 6 foot tree and I know our ceiling is 7 feet. I got the tape measure out and sure enough it's an 8 foot tree. >.< So I'm gonna get the hacksaw and make some mods so it'll fit.

What's Christmas without a little entertainment. XD

We went from nearly 60 degrees yesterday morning with a slight over cast to under 30 by the time I got up for work at 9PM with rain and sleet.

I was driving into work and it went from a mild rain to suddenly a massive pelting of sleet that actually hit the car so hard and loud it drowned out the radio.

An by the time I got off work it's 26 and dropping (supposedly gonna be 16 by Saturday) with snow showers they say possibly up to 6 to 9 inches by the time it's done.

And I gotta drive to work in it XD!! YAY!!!!

I'm kind of excited to see the BCS standing now that Auburn stuns Alabama with it's first loss of the season. The Buckeyes now could have a deserved chance at the national title game having completed their perfect season.

I know it still may not happen but a husky can hope especially after the last 2 seasons OSU has had under Urban Meyers.

I really hope they get the playoff scenarios worked out over the next couple of years,

I went shopping once in early morning of Black Friday and I tell ya never EVER again. Every time this day rolls around I watch TV and think "You fools....you poor fools!!!" lol It is usually a madhouse and yeah you get some great deals but damn it brings out the worst in people.

I remember more than once hearing about people being trampled to death, fights and just utter chaos. I myself nearly got into a fight and all just because I had to use the bathroom and one of the lines blocked it. I asked to be let through and this lady just started shrieking at me that I was not cutting in line. Ok dipshit first of all do you see me carrying any packages to purchase?!?!??!? I just told she was an idiot and I just wanted to use the bathroom on the other side so I pushed past her to get to it and the whole line started freaking out.

So no more for this husky. Not worth it. I can do without the sales and can sit at home safe and browsing for cyber sales lol.

Sarah running around frantically trying to get the assemble line back working as I walk up due to being out of parts at final inspection.

"I can't get the line restarted!!!! SHIT what do I do I don't want to call Tony!!!!"

Me walking up to the machine, looking it over, and get it restarted.

Sarah: "Wha.....what did you do?!?!?!??!"

Me: "Turned it to auto then hit start."

Sarah: "But the light went out (meaning the yellow warning light) every time I restarted it!"

Me: "Yeah it's suppose to do that, it's only yellow when the machine is in manual, red when there is an alarm and green when it is running."

She skulks away.

I told Tony about this thinking he needed a good laugh when he tells me she has done that to him too. And this after working on this line since August. >.<

Puppet and I were at Meijer today and parked in front of us was the best vanity plate we had ever seen!

It was a Red Cross volunteer and the plate read VAMPRS. XD

Lol apparently that is what fursuiters are supposed to call themselves on Hardcore Pawn. XD

Oh Ashley you so silly.

On our trip back from Yellowsprings, Ohio on Thursday we stopped of at this Wendy's to pick up some food before heading home. I'm picky about what I want on my sandwich's and typically either eat them plain or with just pickles.

I order a chicken sandwich and said I wanted it plain with absolutely nothing on it but the chicken when the cashier comes back "Do you want the bun".........seriously!??!?!?!?! And yet so many in the fast food industry are demanding $15 plus an hour!!! I know many of you deserve it but it's ones like this that are gonna keep you from getting it. We were speechless and I muttered "Uh yeah" and then his manager came back over the speaker to give us the total and it was her that also finished the transaction.

On another note we went grocery shopping Friday and we wanted to wear our neko stuff one last time before Halloween weekend was over. As we walked in behind a woman squeaked "That's a Cheshire cat tail!! I know it is!!!" (referring to Puppets tail) she then proceeds to duck away from every aisle we pop into.

We were walking down the cereal aisle when we heard these to girls chattering and giggling behind us when I hear the familiar sound of a camera being clicked. >.< Apparently people in my home town aren't used to seeing this sort of thing. lol
