Just been to bbc.co.uk/cult and picked up an cool picture of Bagpuss to use as wallpaper. Please do likewise and spread the good word that the pink and white cat is BACK!

Oh, and also that mice clean up for you when your asleep. big grin

Gundark
Yet again, the stupid american has absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

razman
I thinks its on of those *really* old programs from the 50s/60s.

Gundark
Yes, I would call that *really* old since I wasn't even born in the 50's.

queeq
Unless YOU are really... *runs to avoid slap*

Edna_witch
Bagpuss! Bagpuss is sooooo sweet! It was made in the sixties! About the same time as the magic roundabout. They did bring it back though. Thats the only reason I know about it. One of my friends bought me a bagpuss for christmas but i lost it! I was sooooooo angry! I miss my bagpuss! sad

Gundark
Sorry to hear that, Edna.

(Reaches out to slap queeq, misses, uses Force to drop a tree on him) hehehehehe.

Ushgarak
Bagpuss was made in the seventies, I think.

Can't get that bloody mouse soung out my head.

razman
Yep, you're right Ush. It was made in 1974.

When was it revived? I must have missed it.

Ushgarak
It was still ebing shown at the end of the eighties.

queeq
Can anyone get me a link to a site where I can see this illustrious bagpuss?

ratcat
Bagpuss is being shown on Kids TV in the UK at the moment. My son thinks it hilarious.

Here's on site about the fat old cat. http://www.smallfilms.co.uk/bagpuss/

queeq
Nope. Dunno him at all.

He looks like the Chestershire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.

ratcat
Well, it's a very crudely animated kids show.

Gundark
More crudely animated than south park ?

ratcat
Oh, definately. Actually, it was stop motion rather than cartoon.

queeq
Just as crude as Southpark? And for kids? roll eyes (sarcastic)

ratcat
Oh, southpark is absolutely advanced compared to the puss.

keokiswahine
I don' recognize him either, but he does look interesting. big grin big grin

ratcat
Well, when you five years old I guess he was...

keokiswahine
hmmmmmm????? confused

ratcat
5 years old is just a very distant memory for you eh keo?

ratcat
Well, I heard a rumour, from a supposedly reliable source.... cool

queeq
*puts on his spikes*

The floor is getting slippery here. eek!

Edna_witch
Oh ok 70's. Sorry I asked my mum. She was obviously wrong. It was revived last year I think or maybe the year before. I dont think it is still on now though.

ratcat
Well, my little boy was watching it on one of the satellite channels last week so I guess it is.

Edna_witch
OK so I am wrong again! Gad damn it!

razman
Does it matter?

Anyway, whats so great about this stuffed cat?

ratcat
I don't know, I guess it's a childhood thing.

Sorry to offend you Edna, I was just saying... sad

Edna_witch
Thanks! You trying to say I'm a child now? It's ok! I like being immature. It's a youth thing!

Well I just think bagpuss is cute! I have always had a soft spot for anything soft and cuddly!

ratcat
OK, she's definately taken on too many trips over that rainbow...

Let me re-phrase my post.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raz, I do not know but children, and it seems some adults, appreciate it.

Ushgarak
'Immature is a youth thing...'

That's either deliciously ironic or just plain dumb... fill me in, Edna, though you already know we have the same taste in cuddly things.

Hey! Let's not be calling the animation on the wooden owl crude!

'We will fix it, we will fix it' etc...

ratcat
Clearly a fan then....

Ushgarak
I may have watched it once or twice when I was young...

ratcat
But not recently of course....

Ushgarak
Good God no.

Actually... HEY! I HAVEN'T!

(Sobs)

ratcat
Well, that's fine then.... (Are you sure...?)

Edna_witch
The music is what I love!

Ushgarak
De-dum dum dum...

Edna_witch
...de dum dum dum...de de de dum dum dum!

Actually it was more of a WAH than a DUM

Ushgarak
I thought they were dums...

ratcat
You can download the music from that Bagpuss site I posted the URL of earlier.

Stands back to avoid the stampede....

Ushgarak
Uh-oh... nostalgia flood!

ratcat
I knew it!

Edna_witch
OK I said liked the music. i didnt say I was a freak!

ratcat
Of course you aren't, but Ush on the other hand. Very strange bloke... laughing out loud

Ushgarak
Strange like a fox!

Edna_witch
What a perculiar simile! So how are you like a fox?

ratcat
Good question...

I always thought of a Fox as being a sly, untrustworthy creature.... Surely that isn't you Ush.

Ushgarak
Simply a Simpsons quote.

ratcat
Boring!

Edna_witch
I sincerely hope not!

ratcat
Just another Simpsons quote .....

Ushgarak
Mmmm... pumpkins...

ratcat
Lighten up. You’re making ‘Happy Hour’ bitterly ironic...

Ushgarak
Ah, beer...

ratcat
Man, you go through life, you try to be nice to people, you struggle against the urge to punch ‘em in the face, and for what?! For some pimply little puke to treat you like dirt unless you’re on a team. Well I’m better than dirt ... well most kinds of dirt. I mean, not that fancy, store-bought dirt. That stuff’s loaded with nutrients. I …I can’t compete with that stuff.

Edna_witch
I like his stripes! big grin

Ushgarak
Oh, that's all wrong... it should read 'Commission Free? No! Money down!'

Hmm, that American Bar Association thing is all wrong as well...

ratcat
Dear God, thank you for Ziggy comics, little baby ducks, and 'Sweatin' to the Oldies', volumes one, two and four.

Ushgarak
ps. I am Gay

ratcat
Oh, we kindas figuired tha.... Oops, that was a quote. laughing out loud rolling on floor laughing laughing out loud

When I join an underground cult I expect a little support.

queeq
Is it? tell us all how long ago that was, keo? Come on, spill it! evil face

razman
Ahh Beer....the cause of AND solution to all of lifes problems...

ratcat
Bad influence, my ass! How many times have I told you? Never listen to your mother!

razman
That was actually a quote from Homer Simpson...

ratcat
I know that....

keokiswahine
Beer, nectar of the gods. evil face

Dim
I hate Ziggy..*grumbles*

ratcat
Well, I'm sure Ziggy isn't too fond of you.

keokiswahine
my buddy, ziggy; he's confused , too. laughing out loud

Dim
I think he's on drugs.

queeq
With a name like "Ziggy", he probably is.

mechmoggy
With a handle like "keokiswahine" he most absolutely possitivly is on some form of nose candy / disco biscuit combo.

ratcat
Who is this Ziggy anyway???

queeq
The local drug addict.

keokiswahine
moggy, leave my handle alone. stick out tongue
ziggy is a very unique personage, thank you. big grin

Edna_witch
Ooh I never explained my handle did I? Oh well I guess you'll never know! What a shame!

Ushgarak
I'm pretty sure you did.

ratcat
I seem to have a vague recollection of that also...

Edna_witch
Actually I explained it to mike in an email but i never told anyone ese. I dont think i did anyway!

ratcat
SO this was different to the whole Pink Fairy/ Evil TV Witch thing then?

keokiswahine
Edna, you gave some sort of explanation in another thread a few months ago, or was it last month? right before your birthday, I think. confused

Ushgarak
No, she insists that has nothing to do with it... I'm still sure she said something around here though

Edna_witch
Oh nothing to do with Edna the TV! Totally different! Thats just coincidence!

ratcat
OK, that's just dandy. Everyone needs a little mystery I guess.

keokiswahine
I do believe Edna explained herself previously. maybe somebody ambitious could dig into old threads?

ratcat
I have no ambition, I've achieved far too much already....

razman
Didn't you say some friends at school call you Edna, and you adopted it online?

Ushgarak
Sher certainly did. She said it in a dismissive way.

queeq
So Edna is a bad name.

Ushgarak
You think? Well, I like it.

queeq
So do I, you must have gotten me wrong. But if she was dismissive of the name...

Ushgarak
No she was dismissive of the explanation being even vaguely important.

queeq
Ah, sorry. In that case, Edna is the greatest name. Aside from her real name of course.

Edna_witch
Well I like Edna!

ratcat
I'm not sure explanations are really that important. Mine was pretty lame and most others are either nicknames or from movies or interests.

ie. Raz, Dim, JediOasis....

Dim
Well, I like my name..

ratcat
No one said there was anything wrong with anyones name.

Jameous Woodshire
That is a very original name Dim.

Its better than mine laughing out loud

ratcat
She's a very original lady...

Ushgarak
I just use mine because I know that no-one else will have it...

ratcat
I thought that about my original one until I found out that loads of people had it...... sad

Edna_witch
well Ive never found another Edna witch!

Ushgarak
Well, there are fellow LOM fansa out there, I;ve seen the website, but there are plenty of obscure names from that game so I am always covered.

ratcat
What's LOM?

Dim
Legend of Mana??

Thanks James smile and...RC.

Anyway?, anymore thoughts on Baggypuss?...if not I'm closing the topic.

ratcat
It's Bag Puss, and I think I'm done...

Dim
Okay..I'm closing this then..
