Gee, I wonder whatever happened to [Badtz Maru](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?userid=8928)? Oh, and **Shirley** : We have a Weebl and Bob link button on our IE toolbar, and I subscribe to the Weebl and Bob mailing list, so I can keep abreast of the latest cartoons. Robin, who wanders off to make a “beefs come from here” sign for the freezer door before **Airman** comes home… ---

Personally, I’m partial to [TarePanda](http://www.copyrights.co.uk/en/1/portpd.html). Doesn’t move, doesn’t talk, doesn’t have adventures. Tarepanda simply [is.](http://home.netvigator.com/~ykyiu/) He’s way more with the Dao than Pooh could ever hope to be. ---

If you live in Japan and are surounded by cutesy characters and the cutesy 37 year olds that collect them, you tend to either end up hating them or becoming one of them. ---

Happy Bunny and This lazy panda…what forces of black evil lurk in the hearts of Pit Dopers? I thought you all were evil, darkhearted malicious and filled with creamy spitefullness, and you link me to cutesy panda bears, bouncy little bunnies and ninja tomboys. What goes on here? Are some of the Pitizens showings their inner 12 year old girl or are they harboring something more sinister and wicked about their inner personalities? Saying that, I would like to introduce you all to Orisinal Pick a game, any game. It’s so cuuuuuuuuuute! ---

I’m with you on the Hello Kitty stuff, mainly I love Batz Maru. I wear my Batz Maru undies when I need good luck, and I can spend tons of time in the Hello Kitty store in the mall. My sister used to buy me all of that crap when she was first working in a mall- she was 16 so I was 12, and my life was filled with tiny pencils, pads of paper, and weird candy and gum. I still love that weird candy and gum- I nearly always get some when I’m shopping. ---

She can’t speak, she can’t eat – she’s just a pussy with a bow on it.” - Margaret Cho ---

I try to scoff at Hello Kitty and all related characters. How silly and obnoxiously cute. [sub]My favorite Hello Kitty thing I have is halloween nail polish! It’s black and it glows bright BLUE in black light! And it has Hello Kitty dressed up as a cute lil’ witch on the bottle! Eeeeeee![/sub] So, like I was saying, being 22 and all, I could never have anything so silly. :: cough :: ---
