In rewatching, "Arthur's Snow Biz", there's something that bothers me, of which was also an issue Arthur had when and Buster shoveled that one lady's huge circular driveway: the huge cocoa break.

 Now, my issue isn't so much that Buster took a huge cocoa break, like Arthur's was, my issue is that the lady only offered Buster a cup of cocoa, and didn't offer Arthur anything. I mean, come on lady, don't you think if you offer one kid some kind of a treat, the other kid isn't going to want one too?

Okay, I'm getting a little tired of all this RPing and such... when did MC say Hubert was coming back to straighten things up around here? Luigi's obsession with Bud's hat isn't funny anymore.

Temporarily breaking character again to share this originality on why you shouldn't eat all of your Halloween candy as soon as you get home:

So I finally got to see all of "Kidonia" today, and it was mostly good (and I see Tolon Brown co-wrote it), even if it was rather cliched: kids forming their own country (or their own city, or setting off on their own) all mainly as a means to get away from chores and rules among other things, it's been done before. I did like how Brain actually made up his own Kidonia-exclusive money (IIRC, I think there's an actual city here in the U.S. that has its own currency since the American dollar is virtually worthless nowadays, but it's only redeemable in that city) and Buster tried to use it to actually buy things. I'm not at all surprised that one by one, everyone started to leave Kidonia when they realized their own Constitution basically inconvenienced them (that or they just simply didn't agree on everything). I kind of think the episode had a Downer Ending though: nothing was really resolved, and we don't see how Arthur, Buster, Francine, or Brain worked things out afterwards, we just basically see Arthur return home, dejectedly (and D.W. now Head of Security at the Read house).

I think it would have been interesting (albiet still cliched) if other kids became Kidonia citizens, aside from just Arthur, Buster, Francine, and Brain: I'm sure Muffy would weasel her way into taking control of some position of authority, and I know Binky would just simply become a citizen for the sake of joining in on whatever's going on.

I'm sorry to throw everyone off topic (well, not really, it'd be nice to get people to stop obsessing over Bud Compson's hat...), but I just wanted to clear somethings up for the viewers of our show, and let everyone know, that I actually did have one line in segment, "Buster Bombs", however, either because of time constraints, or because of clumsy editing, my line was removed. Basically, all I said was, "I'll have the hot dogs, please", since Buster did not want them before me in line.

But... it's okay... I really don't like to draw attention to myself anyway... even though it's surprising to me, and Alex as well, that we both seem to have something of a following.

I... I feel so relieved... like a burden has been lifted off of me... I just wish more kids like Monique or I didn't have to go through such trauma. *Sniff*

Thank you... thank you all... I had no idea anybody would care about me.

Oh my goodness... I had no idea... I had no idea... I didn't know there were other victims... I must admit, I don't feel quite so... "alone" now, but it still doesn't bring me much closure knowing that this is happening to other kids as well...
