Yeah! Like, singing your favorites to the dog but changing the words to be about their floppy ears or their Frito paws.

He spun that house around 180 degrees, I'd be eepy too.

The Web invaded Mainframe
Sprite and virus battled side by side,
Attempting to reclaim the city
from the rift which opened wide.

But Megabyte betrayed Bob and
he threw him deep inside the pit.
The pit was closed and Bob was hosed
and all that he could say was "Nooo!"

 

Without Bob to protect us
we thought we would have no barrier,
From he who would infect us
except Enzo, which was scarier,
The city shivered terrified
from fear of the Infector's touch...

 

"I guess your fear was verified, I wasn't a protector much."

 

(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn't a protector much)
(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn't a protector much)
(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn't a protector-ector much)

 

It wasn't Enzo's fault at first
he only was a little Sprite,
At best he was the worst but then
he slowly learned to do it right,

And just as he was getting skilled
a Game came down he couldn't win,
I thought for sure they'd both been killed,
first Bob then Enzo, not again!

 

(And just as he was getting skilled a Game came down he couldn't win)
(She thought for sure they'd both been killed, first Bob then Enzo, not again!)

 

I went from Game to Game
I aged, I grew and lost my innocence,
I soon became enraged by each
and ev'ry bad experience,

The Sprite you knew was gone
I had become a grim aggressor man,
I knew from that point on
that I was truly Bob's successor man.

 

(The Sprite we knew was gone, he had become a grim aggressor man)
(He knew from that point on that he was truly Bob's successor man)

 

I met up with the Webriders
and took the form of Interface,
I joined my gun with pirate swords
and sailed the seas of cyberspace,

And when at last the pair of us
were fin'lly reunited guys,
Our shouts of joy did blare because
we really were delighted guys.

 

We soon made tracks to Mainframe
so our friends could reunite with us,
We made it back and Megabyte
was waiting there to fight with us.

When Bob went face to face
to face to face with Hexadecimal...

 

...his chances for survival shrank from small to infin'tesimal.

 

(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin'tesimal)
(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin'tesimal)
(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin'tesi-esi-mal)

 

Bob helped to defragment my head
while Matrix fought with Megabyte,
I thought he'd wind up dead
but Matrix put up a terrific fight.

I'd dreamed of this each lonely night
of doing in that virus trash,
But just as I had won the fight
he engineered a system crash!

 

(You dreamed of this each lonely night of doing in that virus trash)
(But just as you had won the fight he engineered a system crash)

 

What Megabyte had hoped to do
was cause his death to crack us up,
I gambled on the User to ReBoot
and thereby back us up.

It worked! We all were born anew
and rid of things barbaric,
And now we're back together,
Ev'rything's alphanumeric!

 

(It worked, we all were born anew and rid of things barbaric)
(And now we're back together, ev'rything's alphanumeric)

 

And now we're back together,
EVERYTHING IS ALPHANUMERIC!!

That's the late Tony Jay. He's my all-time favorite voice.

Wonderful, wonderful show. My introduction was Ambient Swim's inclusion of "Joe Pera talks you to sleep." Then when the recommendations showed me he had a series, I tried it and was hooked.

His character makes me cry good tears. I laugh so hard. When Lulu returned his greeting in the restaurant but tacked on that "Don't come over here." I was slain.

I still can't tell if he's waiting to "finish the DVD commentary" to break character, or if he's actually like that.

I was thinking the OC could've (should've) started some shit by putting them in order by distance from the sun as they are now, except for putting Saturn before Mercury. And then enjoy the hand wringing.

The 1989 logo - as a kid I could not see the bat in the negative space. The movie, the toys, all of it; I just accepted that an open maw in need of braces for its yellow teeth was the chosen logo for an otherwise typical and cool superhero.

Dad buying their underage wife and her friend sounds like a good way to get canceled. Or worse.

I don’t think it’s a bad idea per-se but I can imagine a ton of ways how that could backfire.

 

Today at work my team rolled our eyes at the latest uttering of "This is a living, breathing document." I then joked that maybe we could give the spreadsheet some warts and some hair. That got me thinking - are there skins/mods for Excel that are cartoony and ridiculous? A cursory web search only turns up things that look "professional".

Have y'all seen that nasty skin banana? Doesn't this world have that, but in Excel? I'd like to see each cell have not-so-straight lines, some cells with little bumps/warts here and there, and little gross hairs in the corners. Bonus points if they pulsate. A pivot table could maybe have an appearance like it's protruding out of the sheet, like a cartoon character who swallowed a safe and you can see the big square on their belly. Filtered rows could look like old skin wrinkles. "Excel illustrated by the one(s) responsible for Ren and Stimpy," I guess.

And that's just one gross hypothetical version. How about themes like Lisa Frank, or the menu from a Final Fantasy game. Think about the worlds in Super Mario Bros 3. Couldn't we have spreadsheets that are themed like a desert, an ice world, or a jungle.

I'm running out of ideas but hopefully you get the picture.

DO THESE EXIST?
