10 Things I'll Talk About With My Friends Should I Attend The Coffee & Cake Chit Chat Club

10.May Movie Month

A combination of all the cartoon movies in one month in May? 2004 had a lot to offer back then, from Scooby Doo and Looney Tunes to Pokemon and stand-alone heartwarming family classics. Whatever the day the month the blossoms come into harvest, there was always something for everyone...even G.I. Joe.

9.Cartoon Theatre's Movie Marathon

Where would you find the original American Tail, Land Before Time and Balto films in one place? During this movie marathon of course! Appearances from Scooby Doo, Daffy Duck and The Flintstones brightened up the lineup, but viewers were treated to heartfelt, beautifully animated stories from Universal Pictures that had them reaching out for hankies. You won't be recovering from sadness by the time Balto finishes...

8.Day Of Firsts

Nobody knows about Cartoon Network's Fridays, with its live action hosts and puppets, especially Mr Baby and Baby, who hosted this tripe, which featured the very first episodes of Cartoon Network's shows. Now imagine - you're looking through the family photo album and you see Cartoon Network characters doing important milestones as babies. Heartwarming.

7.Hall Of Game Movie Week

Before the ultimate crossover event, which saw LeBron James team up with the Looney Tunes and various other cartoon characters, plus characters from Warner Bros productions, Hall Of Game Awards aired on Cartoon Network in America when I was 11 years old and attending the worst school in Collingwood. It featured two Looney Tunes movies - Space Jam and Back In Action, plus an appearance from Batman & Robin and two movies based on Speed Racer and The Mummy. Who cares if Cartoon Network aired live action shows? There's room for everyone!

6.Movie Marathon

Cartoon Network hosted two movie marathons in 1999 and 2002 - the 1999 one included Charlotte's Web, Race For Your Life Charlie Brown and Scooby Doo On Zombie Island. Charlotte's Web is a little sad, but what tugs at your heartstrings more was the fact that on the first movie marathon day of 2002, Cartoon Network aired three Land Before Time movies in one day - The Secret Of Saurus Rock, The Stone Of Cold Fire and The Big Freeze. If I were watching The Stone Of Cold Fire right now, I'd love the Good Inside song, which featured Cera with a halo, or thingamajig, over her head. Little angel!

5.Pikachusident's Day

One President's Day, Cartoon Network aired Pokemon all day - and yes, this was the Pokemon that aired on CBBC. CBBC has now become a Cartoon Network ripoff! Its endless iPlayer ads are annoying and will soon become advertised during shows! Ban CBBC and we will all live in peace and harmony once again!

4.The Funny Haha Good Times Weekend Marathon

This was from before Teen Titans Go ruled the network - with all those shows, it was hard to pick which one was your favourite, especially Clifford in MAD. But one thing I detest that made this The Unfunny Boohoo Bad Times Weekend was Johnny Test, or as I call him, one of Caillou's many disguises to avoid getting punished by his parents. Just like Caillou, Johnny screams and cries so that his sisters, dog and parents give him anything he wants. This is NOT what Cartoon Network should be airing, not at all!

3.The Fridays Family Christmas Extravaganza

Christmas specials can be as cosy and as cuddly as someone sitting in front of the fire telling stories in Jackanory, but for this Fridays special, two crazy hosts sat with kids and puppets introducing shows such as Scooby Doo and the Powerpuff Girls and putting gunge and jokes in this cosy, crazy Christmas.

2.The Scooby Movies Marathon

Since Scooby became president of Cartoon Network back in 2000, there had been many things dedicated to him in his honor, as if he were king of the dog shelter. The first three films are from Hannah Barbera Superstars 10, especially Ghoul School, which is an instant reminder of Scream Street. The final two are from when the gang got back together, and they're Zombie Island and Witch's Ghost. What a nostalgic way to remember the president king high priest majesty of Cartoon Network who has a gluttonous appetite.

1.A Wandering Beginning

Sorry, but I just had to put this on my list. It's one of those stories I can't help wanting to add this as number 1 in my list. Now, I was thinking of Cartoon Network's Night Of The Vampire Zombies, and a Watership Down scenario featuring Optimus Prime, Furaha and Orko, so I thought this up for the sake of those who saw Cartoon Network in late 2002. After fleeing Cybertron due to the cruel tyranny of Megatron, Furaha, Orko and Optimus Prime end up on a beautiful, natural paradisaical version of Earth without any people and just animals, called Beginning. From there, they begin to explore their surroundings and try to connect with the nature of this planet. In case you had to know, Optimus Prime narrates this story for the sake of him being the lead character.

10 Things I'll Talk About With My Friends Should I Attend Today's Drop In

10.Pizza Day

OMG, It's Pizza Day! And appropriately for this day, I'm going out with my support worker to Inverness. Going to Inverness with your support worker is just like a trip to the funfair, with toys and snacks galore. First, I'm gonna go to Smyths and buy a Winnie The Pooh plush. Then, I'm going to order a hot chocolate and a brownie from Starbucks, and then I'm going to get a small pizza from Domino's and drink Coke through a straw like my dentist told me to.

9.Bagel & Lox Day

What the heck is Bagel & Lox Day? Oh, it's about bagel combinations. From salmon to cream cheese, it's no wonder bagels with different combinations have become favourites with the posh people.

8.The Pack

In this story, Furaha, Orko, Muk and Luk become part of a friendly pack of wolves who show them their way of life, much like what Akela's family did with Mowgli back in The Jungle Book. It's complete luxury being part of a pack of wolves - you get to sleep in and run all day with your wolf brothers. Imagine if a lioness cub, a Trollan wizard and two polar bears joined the pack. It'll be two times the fun! AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

7.The Scooby Bowl

During its 2000's years, Cartoon Network ran a Super Bowl promotion which showed Scooby Doo all day. But what happened during that day? In this story, Scooby Doo becomes an American football star, with Shaggy and Fred becoming his fellow football players. Dream big, Scooby, you deserve a break from running after monsters all day.

6.Scooby & The Sea

Based on Cartoon Network's Scooby Doo premiere week, we see Scooby Doo alone on the beach, relaxing in the sea and drawing on the sand. This is mainly due to the fact that during the time of the Scooby Doo Premiere Week, Aloha Scooby Doo premiered on the network for the first time back then. Doesn't Scooby Doo know that the Mystery Inc gang are his Ohana? Where are his real Ohana anyway?

5.A Wandering Beginning

After envisioning Cartoon Network's 1995 programming block Night Of The Vampire Zombies and a Watership Down-style story starring characters from Transformers Armada, I decided to think up this otherworldly idea about Furaha and her friends Optimus Prime and Orko ending up on a different planet after fleeing Cybertron due to the dictational tyranny of Megatron. The story will mainly focus on Optimus Prime as he journeys through this mysterious new world with his two friends by his side - and I'll do it tomorrow!

4.Orko & Optimus: Carlos' Eyes

Throughout Transformers Armada due to its rushed production schedule, we see Carlos' eyes turn from brown beads to normal eyes with white bits. In this comic, Rad asks Carlos how his eyes manage to change during the show. In response, Carlos takes his brown-beaded eyes off and puts his whited eyes on in their place. Oooh...surreal.

3.Orko & Optimus: Craft Service

In the Orko & Optimus comics, it's not just Fred that has a weakness with food, Hot Shot has a weakness off the show too. During filming of a scene in the show, Hot Shot sneaks off to sample some food from the craft service table, only for Fred to go up to him and announce he has diabetes, so he needs to eat limited food due to his illness. Well! Imagine an Autobot able to eat other things apart from Energon!

2.Orko & Optimus: E! News

Well, you've seen E! News parodied on a South Park episode about Ike hitting puberty and the characters of Yo Gabba Gabba making an appearance, with Foofa becoming a megastar. Now it's parodied in my comic series. You probably know about a MAD comic which saw what really went on behind the scenes of the live-action Lion King film, with Pumbaa asking about craft service. In this comic, E! News takes a look behind the scenes of Transformers Armada, resulting in a parody of the comic without all the Beyonce bits. Okay, MAD, that's what you get for making Clifford into a radioactive monster!

1.Memorial Day Movie Marathon

In order to honor soldiers who died in the war, Cartoon Network staged an all day movie marathon in the year to watch it, 2003. It showed two movies from two series - An American Tail and Balto - plus two standalone movies: The Iron Giant and The Powerpuff Girls Movie. How can three little girls made out of sugar, spice and everything nice fit in with tearjerking movies about wolves and mice? This just doesn't make any sense...

Arnold's Balloon Trip

High above the clouds, not far from where you or I live, there is a magnificent pink and white mountain made of candy. The rocky parts of the mountain are made out of ice cream, and the snow is made out of ultra delicious icing. The path is actually a slide which you use to go all the way down into a hole which leads you to the best place in all the world…

…a whole haven made out of pink and white candy! And here are me and my friends, playing and sharing together inside this beautiful mountain. Snarf, Rex, Bad Bob, Wendy, Vince, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Luke, Resus, Cleo, and of course me.

Snarf over here is climbing up the bubble gum volcano. The top is all sticky from various gentle eruptions of the good stuff. Snarf looks inside, and sees a large bubble gum bubble floating out. He reaches out to touch it, but then gets trapped inside it. He feels quite calm and serene trapped inside the bubble, and quite happy. Suddenly, he notices he is heading towards a candy cane spike! He tries to run but can’t, he’s trapped inside the bubble, then…POP! The bubble bursts, and Snarf hangs onto the sticky bit for dear life, until he falls! POOSH! Snarf has landed on the giant marshmallows that floor the mountain.

In that part of the mountain, Vince and his friends Rex The Runt, Wendy and Bad Bob are all bouncing on marshmallows, having a bit of a laugh. Vince is bouncing off the walls like someone who has eaten too much sugary stuff, and once he calms down, he tastes a bit of one enormous pink marshmallow - OH! MMMMM! GOOD LORD! These marshmallows taste like angels inside his mouth! Rex, Wendy and Bad Bob share some of the stuff too, and soon they are feeling Heaven in their mouths. In fact, rarely have they had any sweet treats during their show - all they had was meat and vegetables and dog food. Gross!

As for the ponies, they’re over there by the candy cane-shaped ice cream geyser. Twilight, Pinkie and Rainbow are gathered around the geyser with eyes as big as saucers, waiting for the ice cream to come sploodging out of the geyser. Suddenly, SKMOOSH! Out comes the ice cream, and it lands on the floor beside Twilight and her two friends. “Everyone get out a cone!” cries Pinkie, and everyone breaks off a piece of candy cane spike to use as a cone for their ice cream. Once they taste - ooooh, what heavenly vanilla flavour! It’s as if the vanilla flavour was developed from Heaven or something. And you know what? It tastes even better with a Flake. Pinkie keeps some of these in her bum bag pocket just so the ponies should use it in case of an emergency ice cream rainfall.

And far off is a lake and a waterfall, which is made out of lucious hot cocoa! Luke, Resus, Cleo and I have taken off our shoes and socks and are having a fun time splashing and drinking from the most beautiful brown lake in the history of candy wonderlands. It tastes just like the hot chocolate we drink in Winter at home - only, it’s just as warm and is about the size of a hot tub! This is the best we’ve experienced all day ever since we came to this island. Tell that to Arnold, he’s been there and he has a lot of stories to tell should he get older.

But in the middle of the mountain is a tree which grows lots of candy by the light of the moon. Every full moon the magical moonbeams shine onto the trees to make candy magically appear, and that’s exactly where my friends and I are at now - waiting for candy to grow on the tree at midnight. “Is it midnight yet?” Pinkie keeps asking. “In one more second,” says Rex. Suddenly, a funny noise sounds. “Look!” I cry as lots of little sweet treats and chocolates begin growing on the branches, “Sweets!” “How beautiful,” sighs Twilight. “Yay! A full feast!” my siblings and I squeal. “Just wait and see,” says Bad Bob. “It IS a magic candy tree,” says Rainbow Dash. “Brace yourselves, guys,” I say, “Let’s pick those candies!” And here we go, picking the candies and eating them. Which reminds me of a scene in Noddy’s life during Midsummer Day…

“Is it midnight yet?” asks Sly as he, Noddy, Tessie Bear, Gobbo and Big Ears stand in the darkness of the forest, waiting for something to happen. “In one more second,” warns Big Ears. Suddenly, a magical noise signals the arrival of the golden leaves on the tree they are standing in front of. “Look!” cries Noddy, “Golden leaves!” “How beautiful,” swoons Tessie. The goblins get very excited over this. “RICH! WE’RE GOING TO BE RICH!” they shout in evil glee. “Just you wait and see,” chuckles Big Ears with an evil look on his face. “It IS a magic Midsummer tree,” gasps Noddy. Sly and Gobbo grab some sacks and run to the tree. “Let’s pick those leaves!” shouts Gobbo, and they did.

Well, you can tell how those two scenes are exactly alike. And wait a minute, have you got Kipper: Christmas Eve and Noddy The Champion on video? If you do, I suggest you watch them right away. You’ll thank me later.

THE END.

10 Things I'll Talk About During My (Hopefully) Visit To Milk & Honey

10.Bath & Bed

This is a story I did today that premiered on my blog first, then on GDocs. This sweet, gentle story sees Orko help his family prepare his baby sister Furaha for bed, with a delicate bubble bath, followed by a story and then bed. This is a beautiful way to spend bedtime, and I hope this routine gets passed down to mothers and babies alike.

9.Arnold's Balloon Trip

Inspired by the Kipper episode of the same name, this is a series of scenes set at a Candy Mountain just like the one in the episode, with me and each of my friends enjoying a section of the mountain, including characters from 2011 Thundercats, Rex The Runt, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and of course, me, Luke, Resus and Cleo. Since I got overwhelmed by seasons 2-9 of Friendship Is Magic, for autistic fans I advise you only watch season 1, like you watch season 1 of Bluey and Scream Street when you get agitated by their later seasons too.

8.President Scooby's Movies For The People

In 2000, we couldn't forget the USA elections. To tie in with that, Cartoon Network hosted an election of their own at the time, which includes Brak as a candidate. Thousands of fans voted, and the results were in - Scooby Doo was made new president of the network. He brought in big feasts for every day, cared for others and needed extra special care by his peers, including Shaggy, for when he got frightened. This resulted in a marathon of classic Scooby movies not just for the people of America, but for the people of the world. Hail President Scooby! Hail! Hail!

7.Scooby Doo, Where Have You Been? Marathon

When Scooby Doo returned to Cartoon Network one time - the original series - fans were delighted to see where it all began for the petrified pooch and his gang of human friends. Fans young and old indulged in classic Scooby adventures which had them grabbing popcorn, Coke and Scooby Snacks and cheering on Scooby and his friends as they took down the monsters that terrorised the people of their hometown. Scooby-Dooby-DOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

6.Total Drama Action Big Money Giveaway

Oh god. It's not everyday that Cartoon Network gives you a cash grab, but with Total Drama Action, that was an entirely different story. While viewers watched four episodes of Total Drama Action, Cartoon Network offered a big cash prize to anyone who phoned in. It's not fake, Cartoon Network did this for the sake of any Total Drama fans watching. Chris McClain will be proud.

5.Hamtaro Mini Marathon

Gobbling mouthfuls and saying "Ham! Ham!" - that's one thing kids of the era I was born in used to say when Hamtaro came onto Cartoon Network. The marathon saw Hamtaro and his friends overcoming new obstacles and friends, such as a talent contest, a treasure hunt and a spooky going on. If I were watching it, I'd be eating turkey dinosaurs and going "Ham Ham!" along with the viewers watching. Hamtaro encourages you to talk with your mouth full. Seriously.

4.March Movie Madness

A combination of every single cartoon or slapstick family film just in time for March 2007, such as Cartoon Network TV films, Scooby Doo films, Tom & Jerry films and standalone family films had American kids pushing cinema visits aside and grabbing popcorn and cake just in time to witness all these raggedy adventures on their telly box.

3.Orko's Porridge Song

As I've mentioned in my stories 'Does Baby Have A Cold?' and 'Cuddles & Caring', which I'll mention in a minute, Orko likes to sing the nursery rhyme 'Pease Porridge Hot' to baby Furaha as he feeds her porridge. The story describes a morning in the life of baby Furaha and Orko as they go downstairs for breakfast as Angel, the resident cook, serves nice, warm porridge to everyone. Orko helps feed Furaha, singing 'Pease Porridge Hot' to her. Aaaawwww....sweet.

2.Blossom

Imagine waking up one blossomy Spring morning to find a whole tree of Sakura blossoms outside your window. With a tree outside Furaha and Orko's bedroom window, there's no imagining what you can do with a story themed around it. With me, I like to imagine that as Furaha and Orko sleep one lazy Spring morning, Furaha watches the blossoms on the blossom tree outside blow their petals in through the open window. Furaha sleepily tries to catch them. What a cuddly Spring story.

1.Cuddles & Caring

I told you this story would be important. I did this yesterday when I put my mind to it - and be truthful, you can do literally ANYTHING when you put your mind to it. This caring story is about Orko taking care of his baby sister Furaha during times when she needs her most, like when she was down with a Cub Cold, or when she bumped her toes on the leg of the table. Of course, helping Orko on his way are his nursemaids and his parents, who also support their little sister. Imagine you had a family as kind and as caring as Orko's. You'll thank me later.

10 Things I'll Talk About If I Were To Attend The Coffee Club @ Eden Court

10.Cravendale 'Slurp' and 'Toe Tapping' adverts

Way better than any annoying ad I've seen, these adverts for Cravendale milk are from the creators of A Town Called Panic and see a pirate, cow and cyclist run a milk bar for animals and people who love Cravendale as much as they do. In one advert, a group of Irish people slurp out a tune to 'William Tell', and in the next ad, which is a sequel to 'Bad Bull', the now good bull orders some glasses of milk before the jukebox puts on a rocking tune which sends Pirate into a crazy frenzy and sets the entire milk bar on fire. Don't try this at home!

9.My Diary

The people at the local support hub have now gone woke and have suggested I keep a diary for any unfortunate events or appointments that may occur, like ones for the dentist or the doctor. I get it, days out aren't just about appointments, they're about walks and picnics and treats and shopping and hanging out with friends, but now I've brought an Eeyore diary to see me through. Thanks for noticing me...

8.My new diet

Mum said I must limit my food preferences, so that means my support workers are now giving me some sausage rolls, a piece of fruit, some Babybel and a small sweet treat. And that, my friends, includes Suckies and Bounce Bars. I wish they were more of a big deal that Logan Paul's PRIME drinks, these things are starting to get on my nerves. I'd drink Coke over these stupid drinks any day.

7.The Not So Little Princess: What's My Name?

In this grown up sequel to Tony Ross' spoilt good for nothing princess character who learns about the world and is actually Caillou in disguise, she's now grown up and everyone in the castle must call her by her real name now, because there are people out there who have grown out of her picture books and have found her TV series to be a bad example, because in this Milkshake show the Little Princess is always screaming and throwing tantrums so she can get her way. Can't Milkshake air Caillou instead?!

6.Furaha's Bad Dream

In this story, which is way better than that bratty Little Princess character, Furaha has a bad dream where she is chased by an ugly lion/warthog hybrid and eaten alive, but she wakes up screaming. As Orko comforts her, her entire family rushes in to see what the matter is, and decide to take her downstairs into the living room to calm her down and have a bit of family time. This story is a good example of what to do if you have a bad dream - instead of getting into bed and hassling your parents, spending time with them is a soothing way to get back to sleep.

5.A Perfect Day To Relax

You've probably seen the 2003 Nivea advert which saw the comeback of the Nivea ball. Instead of a Nivea ball in this one, there's pure relaxation. Orko stays on the sidelines of the beach, in a quiet place where he can bond with his baby sister Furaha while his friends, soon to be Furaha's friends, play a game of blind tag far off on the other side of the beach. Orko just prefers to relax with his soft, cuddly, gentle baby sister and comfort her instead of join his friends' noisy games. Baby sisters are more important than friends, anyway.

4.The Easter Monkey In Winter

Furaha, Orko and Baby Marvin The Martian live comfortably in a log cabin in the middle of a Wintery wonderland. Every day, they go outside and play in the snow, and even have enough food to go around. One day, they run out of food and embark on an Alice In Wonderland inspired adventure across the tundra to find the legendary Appetite Cave, which houses as much food as they need to see them through. They meet characters from Baby Looney Tunes' Eggs-Traordinary Adventure, Here Comes Peter Cottontail and Joseph: King Of Dreams, who all show them the way to the cave.

3.Baby Marvin Goes Swimming

Let's just say Baby Marvin is like the Arnold of the Me, You, And...universe. He doesn't talk, rarely speaks and lives with his puppy K9 and his mother, who is a martian like him. In this vignette, he goes swimming with Furaha, Orko, K9 and his mother. The pool in this one is also dog friendly, so K9 would have a great time playing there. Since Marvin is only a baby martian, his mother has to swim with him at all times. Furaha and Orko indulge in their own ways of playing however, splashing each other, relaxing in the water and playing on floaties. Now the Baby Looney Tunes have been swimming in the pool in Granny's nursery before, and Daffy had to overcome his fear of water to join them - feel nostalgic? I do!

2.Safari Plains

In this soothing story set on the plains of Africa, Furaha and Orko wander across the grasslands while their family - including that mischievous mutt rascal Rocky - are fast asleep under a baobab tree. Wandering around the plain and encountering many animals along the way such as giraffes, elephants, hippos and monkeys, the two friends talk about why friendship makes them a family, and what makes the animals in Africa a family too, in a soft and gentle conversation about friendship and loyalty.

1.By The Fireplace

In this cosy story set during Winter, in the palace living room Furaha and Orko settle by the fireplace with their family, and Furaha and Orko tell each other about how wonderful it is to sit by the fire and snuggle together to share in good times. They reminisce about three moments in Furaha's life which they won't forget, such as a trip to the fair, making sandcastles and drawing in the sand on the beach and playing hide and seek in the throne room. All the simple pleasures of life with your family are right here, in the heart of a lioness. And if you're going to retrieve it, DON'T RIP AN ACTUAL ONE OUT! All it takes is courage and love.
