This one time, I Smurfed this woman...and she was like, oh my Smurfing God....Fuck...Smurfing stop... God...she was so Smurfed. Have you ever...?

 

[Erlind]

Looking at the surprisingly nondestructive smurf carnage wrought while I wasn't paying attention I rub the bridge of my nose. The edge of a headache threatens me, but then I just laugh.

"This is smurfing ridiculous."

 

[Firmhanded_Daddy]

Smiles as he takes a seat

Hello, sugar.

How are you doing this evening lovely one?

snorts, snickers.

Okay, sorry, I couldn't keep a straight face through that one. I'll smurf you!

shakes fist threateningly.

I'm almost scared to ask what a smurfing is. However I shall do it anyway.
what is it?

 

[thestruggle]

pokes gently in the chest
Oh you will? Well I'll give you such a smurfing!

giggles!

Now I can't tell if that's something scary or something I'd enjoy, for smurf's sake!

This is getting ridiculous.

This one time, I Smurfed this woman...and she was like, oh my Smurfing God....Fuck...Smurfing stop... God...she was so Smurfed. Have you ever...?

Ever smurfed? Uh. Hm

 

[IvoryTigress]

You keep smurfing like that, you'll go blind

Cracks up laughing, falling into FHD's lap.

I'm not too bad, thanks. How are you?

 

[palemoon2035]

I've been Smurfing you for a long time, and you didn't even know it. But...I had no intent of desecrating a cartoon from my childhood. Shall we move on?

 

[LeChatNoir]

nods a greeting to FHD from his wing chair by the fire

Good evening.

he listens to the incessant talk of Smurfing, and remembers when they were just innocent, if somewhat fucking creepy, little blue people on the Saturday morning cartoons. Do they even have Saturday morning cartoons anymore?

 

[palemoon2035]

Move on?
To...uh...TRANSFORMERS!

That is a little too extreme. I was thinking Snorks, Garfield and Friends...or the Shirt Tales.

They do.....and they suck!

 

[LeChatNoir]

They do.....and they suck!

I find this sad, but not terribly surprising. Are they all thinly-veiled merchandising opportunities?

 

[Erlind]

They do.....and they suck!

Agreed!

Nods at him with sad eyes

 

[LeChatNoir]

Nods at him with sad eyes

And the bastards claim another cherished childhood memory.

Ahh, well.

 

[thestruggle]

Nods at him with sad eyes

agrees.

It's awful, the cartoons are terrible! Sugary cereal doesn't taste the same either.

sighs gloomily, snugs deeper into her chair.

 

[Erlind]

To be fair though, Transformers, GI Joes, and many other beloved cartoons were thinly veiled merchandizing opportunities.

 

[LeChatNoir]

agrees.

sighs gloomily, snugs deeper into her chair.

You know, I noticed that. I bought a box a few years ago, just to see what it tasted like now that I'm...no longer a kid. The answer, apparently, is hideously inedible.

 

[LeChatNoir]

Only too true. But Scooby Doo, Tom & Jerry, Bugs, Daffy, and the Mouse, while they had their faults (horrible racism, just for starters), at least they seemed like their primary purpose was entertainment, rather than marketing.

 

[thestruggle]

Ture, but now we have "OOPS! All Berries!"

Sacrilege! Blasphemous! It can't be all. There has to be a mix.

You know, I noticed that. I bought a box a few years ago, just to see what it tasted like now that I'm...no longer a kid. The answer, apparently, is hideously inedible.

Yes, the last time I bought a box of Peanut Butter Crunch (I can't even remember when, was probably not quite sober to be honest) it was awful. It tasted of betrayal.

Eh, I've been better.

Drags his fingers softly through her hair with a smile

Nods to LCN

Good evening.

Everything is a thinly veiled merchandizing opportunity. Coming soon! Palemoon, the action figure! She's a pale white celstial body, sexy as hell, and she will smurf the smurf between your lady's legs.

 

[LeChatNoir]

In their defense, the cartoons were really just representative of the cultural norms. Which doesn't make it OK, but just that they were indicative of larger, more pervasive problems.

Oh, absolutely. They're relics of their period, much the same way that Huckleberry Finn is. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the cartoon writers and illustrators were somehow horrible people while everyone else was inviting their racially diverse neighbors over for tea.

Exactly!

Somehow I may have missed that one though. Any idea where I can find it?

 

[LeChatNoir]

Does betrayal taste bitter, with a chemical aftertaste as the last of the poison goes down?

Because if it doesn't, it should.

 

[IvoryTigress]

Can't help it.....a favored song comes on....she bounces and mini dances while sitting down next to FHD and an absent wolfling

[thestruggle]

falls back against the wall...mouth agape...in stunned silence

Yes, I know. But I am firm on this! A mix!

" It tasted of betrayal"
Seriously...best line to describe disappointment in a food product ever

It's true! It did!

Does betrayal taste bitter, with a chemical aftertaste as the last of the poison goes down?

Because if it doesn't, it should.

Bitter and heavy, like my heart after eating that goddamn cereal.
