Back in my middle school it was installed on pretty much all the RM Nimbus 386s, and after school if you were still there you could dink about on them . Cartooners became a MASSIVELY popular program amongst my school then. Like, I copied it off them when I was older (both it and its expansion, on a single floppy disk) and there were nearly a hundred damn cartoons people had made with it! It was WILD!

so hey Cartooners fun little edutainment title (not sure how it was educational but there you go) where you make cartoons by using stock assets provided with the game. You place down actors (which are sprites with various animations you can play and move in various directions or have face left or right if they have those sprites, plus you can freeze them at any frame in their animations if you like), plus some musics, plus backgrounds you can set. It was kinda neat.

okay we're talking about food here sorry for the lack of cw before whups. 

@rey aw dang I bet an actually grilled 100% beef hotdog would be really nice too. shit.

@rey tbf i am in england where what passes for hotdogs are floppy, mushy pork vaguely-sausage-impersonating tubes. Until very recently I was of the opinion as such that hotdogs are trash and they should just use REAL, 100% pork, thick butchers SAUSAGES, rather than "hotdogs". Until I tried what was a real hotodg, which I think I only disliked because the ketchup really did just... make it kinda meh.

@rey that article was deeply amusing. and also very enlightening. I have had an actual all beef hotdog before but there's only one place i know of that do them and that's a Costco. but the only condiments there are a heinz mustard, and heinz ketchup.

of course me being me, an uncultured swine when it comes to dogs that are of the hot variety, put both on. it was...tasty, but... not satsifying?? and yeah. all I could taste was condiment.

Me: I should check on my wash

Okay. You know what? I'm instituting a new thing. You can participate if you want to but there's no shame if you don't.

I'm gonna call it #BeMyNeighborWeek in honor of the 50th anniversary of "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood". (I'm four months late, shh.)

Until 12:01 AM on June 24, I'm going to try to be like Mr. Rogers. No sick burns, no scoring points, no annoyed brush-offs. I will do my best to be patient and kind and understanding.

You can be my neighbor if you'd like.
