This is amazing!

Not to get into a whole "body image" thing, but looking back I've noticed how thin some of the people who were suppose to be fat were. Like, take Belushi. He's just a normal looking dude, but he's in Animal House with a mountain of food on his tray and in Blues Brothers ordering two whole fried chickens.

Yeah I'm in that club too.

She's in marketing now. http://christinemcglade.com/

As a kid I thought the beaver/moose combo was a little close to Rocky & Bullwinkle - but man, that moose dude is such a shameless rip off!

Yeah I don't think I understood till right this second they were different. I don't remember the name "cucumber" but I totally remember the live action rocky and bull winkle.

Until I found this clip I had no idea that "Cucumber" was an acronym for "Children's Underground Club of United Moose and Beaver for Enthusiastic Reporters". I probably couldn't understand the lyrics!

Yep, I crushed on Moose like the rest. Another early morning Canadian cartoon, usually found in close proximity to Kitzel, is Tales of the Wizard of Oz!

God I love Rusty's voice.

Oh man, me too! I so wish I could imitate that voice.

He's the original Bender.

Holy crap, I never thought of that! Guess that's why I love Bender's voice too.
