I had, and still own, Putter Popple. I can also do a fairly accurate imitation of the aforementioned character. No, I won't do it at parties, or Sanctus..

(Unless you feed me lots of alcohol.)

(Then I'm pretty much game for anything.)

(Except Yahtzee. I've always hated that game. Ick.)

(By the way! It's She-Ra: Princess of Power.)

(Oh, and why is there no mention of Tigersharks? Or Thundercats? Eeep!)

Thundercats, Orginal Transformers, the list could go on and on, but i never liked New Kids On The Block, i always thought they sucked because all the girls liked them. And because of them it hurt my chances of getting said girls to "go out with me" then when i asked them i'd always get "Sure i will... NOT!"

Here's another one, finishes each sentence with either Dude or man...

Another addition would be The Simpsons, when they were one or two minute animation shorts - as opposed to the 15 to 30 minute cartoons they are now - for the Tracey Ullman Show.
