this has nothing at all to do w/ EQ2Follow

As noted this has nothing at all to do with EQ2. But it is a realization I had the other day, and it explains something that's been bugging me for some time ():

the Cartoon Network show "Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy".

My kids love it. And I must admit I find it perversely attractive... well, I actually like it, too. But I had no idea why - or even what the show was about - until the other day. And then I think I figured it out.

Why do the three boys go by what is basically the same name, but slightly altered? Was that just an empty marketing gimmick, or is there something more to it?

Well, I assumed at first it was just a shallow gimmick - but then in a radiant flash of insight I realized what is really going on: Freud! Sigmund Freakin' Freud!

The three Eds are the three Freudian counterparts of the SAME BOY. The self-centered, greedy one, Eddy, is the EGO. The physical, dumb, somewhat destructive one, Ed, is the ID. And the smart one with the conscience (but who is almost powerless to influence the others), Edd or "Double-D", is the SUPEREGO.

I know... on one level it's completely stupid and pointless. But ... is the inkblot two faces... or a vase? Squint through the other eye, and this concept suddenly becomes brilliant and gives the show meaning.

Okay, it's late at night. And I'm crazy. But I thought I'd share. And if this helps any of you, I'm glad I passed it along. It helps me sleep better at night knowing this.

spongebob is ALL just hidden adult humor,

one episode spongebob stonerpants forgets (suddenly forgets?) how to make a ckrabby patty or w/e and when the boss checks on him at his house he has is underwear over his head and his nose looks like the male reproductive organ...

NOT FOR KIDS!

well since there's allready an offtopic post why make another...^_^

just ordered myself Gasaraki DVD 6, 7, and 8... w00t!

course now I need Saber Marionette J disk 2 and 3

Witch Hunter robin Disk 2 - 8

Azumanga Daioh disk 5 & 6

Last Exile (cause it just kicks !%$#@)

Stratos 4

Stellvia

Kiddy Grade

Full Metal Alchemist

*sigh* I'll be so broke soon...

Witch Hunter is just so bleh.

And your right, Exhile does rock, so does Alchemist. I'm just kinda saddened to hear that Cartoon Network got hold of Alchemist, they always seem to water down and pollute the good shows.

I would also reccomend Great Teacher Onizuka (live series too), Charge! Cromartie High, Black Heaven, Full Moon wo ********** Noir, Zone of Enders: Dolores, Angelic Layer, Furi Curi (FLCL), Gundum SEED, Scrapped Princess, Slayers (1, 2, and 3), and Those that Hunt Elves. Those are the good ones I remember going over my stuff real quick.

Haven't seen it yet but heard Stellvia was good too.


Edit*** I feel bad for you, having to buy your anime =(
Such a huge monopoly on that stuff, $10 an episode and like 24 -50 episodes a series usually? If you do insist on buying it, might wanta check on Hong Kong imports?

*Wrinkles her furry muzzle in disdain.* Ugh.... anime. Bane of my existence....

I must say that Cartoon Network is just about the only way I see most of these cartoons.

I like WHR. I am really getting in to Full Metal Alchemist. But Wolf's Rain... yuck. I tried, and tried again, but gee whiz... I just don't get it.

So my next question (as long as we are keeping this up), for you who enjoy the non-Cartoon Network versions of this anime, where do you see it? where do you get it from other than buying a $20 DVD from the mall or electronics store?

Cartoons and EQ... my two non-RL loves.
