Ashton’s unaffected by Rick Astley’s song Never Gonna Give You Up aka Rickrolling b/c of Just Dance 4. The dance makes it too much of a bop, also very much dad vibes.
Fashion East was happy to be a part of the Big Day Downtown event this year and give some love to the great shops & attractions of downtown Halifax. This year we were asked to pick three keywords out of a hat that would shape our adventures: Dramatic,Creative&Playful.
With these adjectives in mind we headed downtown this past weekend to The Drawing Room at the Henry House on Barrington St. . The bartender poured us a delicious & dramatic-looking cocktail. The Drawing Room is the closest thing to a time machine in Halifax where you can order a drink off the menu based on the year it was most popular. We recommend the hit drink of 1915, the French 75.
Afterwards we headed to The Seahorse TavernforJ-BRU’s CD release featuring other local rappers Quake Matthews,Jay Mayne and Toronto’s GQNumberOne . The crowd was appreciative, the rhymes were creativeandPropeller’s Horsepower beer had kick. We rounded off the night with a quiet 3am bike ride home.
To capture the last bit of summer on an otherwise bleak Monday we got in touch with our inner child and stepped into Yeh! Frozen Yogurt & Cafe. With so many options it was hard to choose only one topping ( Fruit Loops or Pop Tarts? ) so we ended up with some playfulcreations & maybe a slight sugar rush.
Happy Throwback Thursday. Curious about what books Lawrence Public Library staff recommended in 1965? Here is a pamphlet of reading suggestions of the most outstanding books of the year taken from the vertical files in the Helen Osma Local History Collection housed at Lawrence Public Library.
For those of you who don’t know, my name is the Cartoon Archivist! I have whole range of Cartoons/Anime/Animated movies within my catalog of animation knowledge, from some of the earliest animations in history all the way up to present day. And I try to use this awesome power that’s been gifted to me over a lifetime of experience for the forces of good! If you got a cartoon that you only have the faintestof memory about, send me all the info you got on it and I’ll check to see what my archive comes up with! (Just make sure to check out the FAQ before you ask!)
So, recently OK, KO! Let’s be heroes, had an entire network crossover that’s very reminiscent of some of the early Cartoon Network Bumpers.
I personally haven’t watched OK, KO! (but don’t worry! It’s on my list!) but with such obscure TV shows, references, I couldn’t resist testing my research skills and my Cartoon Network knowledge. So, I’ve complied a bunch of pictures together and challenged myself to name them all!
Here we goooooo~!

Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, Chowder (Chowder), Chowder (Schnitzel), HI HI Puffy Ami Yumi, The Moxy Show, I Am Weasel, Sym-bionic Titan, Regular Show, What Ever Happened to Robot Jones?

Har Har THarsdays was a programming block that was used to promote new episodes of Cartoon Network’s original animated shows. This is also where those pale, white manikins came from.

Statues:
Time Warp; Evil Con Carne; Codename: Kids Next Door; Johnny Bravo; Robotomy; (Jorel’s Brother) Irmão do Jorel (So let me tell you about this one. This cartoon aired in Brazil. It never premiered in the United States. The design is close enough that I was certain I had seen it before. Because I thought it was a little old grandma character. I was wrong. I searched for this character for over 2 fucking months to find this mofo and let me tell you: Know who he is is one of the MOST SATISFYING THINGS I HAVE EVER DONE. May have “cheated” a little by using the Nexus Wiki. But if have the resources, am I right?)
Bonus:
Cartoon Cartoons was the name of Cartoon Networks original brand of series that came out of the What a Cartoon! shorts back when Cartoon Network originally started. It would go on to become the tag line of the network and air alongside the Cartoon Network post-episode clapperboard clips.
