Here it is - the first story in Life As Friends. Furaha has got herself covered in too much peanut butter, and Orko suggests a bath so she can be rid of the peanutty mess. Once they're through, they decide to play about in the laundry for a while.

Swim Pants - The Files Of A Friday & Saturday
Hi! Lewis here. If anyone of you cool pups misses me, you might remember me from Adult Swim's long lost 2002 pilot The Lewis Lectures, which aired alongside The Finkel Files one fateful night on Adult Swim in the USA. But wait! What are these?! Swim pants? Well, these give me the perfect opportunity to tell you what my good friend Sophie did to get some exercise today and the preceding day.
The preceding day started off with a few glitches, as Sophie's support worker had to stop three times, yes, THREE WHOLE TIMES, to chat to someone on her phone. By that time, Sophie was getting impatient, but not for long, because they were on their way to the City Of Treasure, Dingwall! My favourite place. First, they stopped off at Tesco and enjoyed their sausage rolls, cookies and water. I'm sad to say there was no sign of that Bill & Ben kiddie ride, because Bill & Ben aren't on TV anymore. Not the puppets, I meant the stop motion versions. Then, after a mishap with the car, they made it to the Puffin Pool, and boy was it a wheeler! Once they were in the pool, Sophie was warmed up right away, and she encountered a few people with disabilities who were lying in the water or accompanied by their parents or support workers. Sophie sat in the water for at least the whole session chatting with her support worker about her annoyed mother and how she had a hectic life looking after (censored) and her and her dog Mylo, god, what a hectic life. But! Is there anything you can do to help your mum, Sophie? No, but what you did learn is that you can stay the previous age even though you're turning 24.
Now onto today. Sophie and her handsome male support worker went to Loch Brora for a walk, but due to all the mud and sticky stuff, they had to go to Poppy's to get something to eat. Usually I'd go for a nice dog treat or a slice of ham, but here they went for a bacon roll, a caramel shortbread (VOMITING NOISES) and some hot cocoa. Now I'm warning you, chocolate is poison for dogs, so, ask for a nice belly rub instead. With Mother's Day coming up, they wanted to do something extra special for Mum, so they went to Home Bargains - home of all the cool human stuff - and guess what the support worker brought? Not a Mother's Day card, but a Minnie Mouse light up notebook AND some Pampers Splashers for his baby son, who is going swimming. The truth is, babies aren't allowed into the water unless they wear these, and they're even cooler with Baby Shark designs on them. I wish they had Baby Looney Tunes designs on them instead - Furaha says that would be really cool. Then they went to Portmahomack, but all the way there, Sophie was feeling really tired, so they went home and - BOM! There she was, fast asleep.
So now you know, don't you? This is where she got the idea of starring me alongside Furaha and Orko in adventures in Dingwall from - Plenty Of Hugs, and one of its collections, Furaha, Orko & Lewis. Your welcome!

Hello Crisps!
.jpeg)
Today's lessons are crunchy and relaxing at the same time. In the first lesson, you will write down what makes you relax after hearing rainforest sounds for 10 minutes. The second lesson has you, yes you, the teachers, plan out a crisp taste test with the class! So get your flavour on!
Plenty Of Hugs - Two Amazing Guardians: Relax
Spend a nice morning in February relaxing with Furaha, Orko and Optimus as they relax in the cool, clear, inviting river. Take a moment to chill...and unwind.

10 Things I'd Talk About With My Friends Should I Attend The Coffee Club
10.Baby Marvin playing with his mum and puppy K9.
When I think of Baby Marvin and K9 playing together, I think of two things:
1.Tucker playing with Flutter.
2.Mylo climbing up onto my bed every night to snuggle me goodnight.
I've already thought about Baby Marvin sleeping on K9's body, to which his mother says, "Aaaawwww, look at you." The adorable relationship between puppies and babies can make us forget the war Animal Planet waged in their show 'Puppies Vs Babies', where viral videos of dogs and babies are pitched against one another. Ignore it!
9.Furaha looking out to sea.
Aaaaah, nothing like sitting on an empty beach with only two friends for company and no other people around you. Your two friends, who are an Autobot and a Trollan wizard, are fast asleep on the sand, while you have time to yourself. Furaha likes to close her eyes and feel the sea breeze blow her floof while she hums a gentle tune to herself. This is a heartwarming moment, especially if you're a lioness cub with two unforgettable friends.
8.Baby Daffy using Orko's help to help him drill holes.
I'm sure you know by now that in the animated version of After The Storm, Percy enlists the Fox to drill holes in a plank of wood, but he finds it slow to do and instead enlists a Squirrel to do his boring work and put some furry elbow grease into it. Baby Daffy Duck and Orko are doing the same, for Daffy is such an ugly duckling that a wizard needs his help to do his dirty work - and ducks don't need their bottoms wiping. They can clean themselves.
7.Daffy working with a horse with a lavender eye.
In the 'Merry Go Round Broke Down' sequence in Daffy Duck & Egghead, Daffy mentions as he goes across the lake that whoever worked with him on the merry go round was a horse with a lavender eye. Well, I like to think that that horse is actually a My Little Pony G3-type character who was once Daffy's girlfriend before Melissa Duck came along, and the girls they winked at are a myriad of beautiful white ducks. Ooh, fancy!
6.Furaha, Orko and Optimus playing catch on a tropical island somewhere in the middle of the sea.
Ah, an island holiday - such a paradise to look at, all those people enjoying a holiday in the sun somewhere nice...and dare I say it, there was this Lenor advert from another country where a mum and her two kids were transported to an island where they played in the ocean before the two kids made a lei just for mum. An act of kindness is completely worth sharing, as Furaha, Orko and Optimus love to play and have fun when stranded on an island like this - no people, no danger, no nothing. Just the three friends laughing and calling to each other as they play catch with their big blue beach ball. Total paradise.
5.Furaha, Orko and Baby Marvin covering themselves in peanut butter, grape jelly and whipped cream.
Grape jelly is USA talk for jam, and for grape jelly, it goes well with PB&J sarnies, which are a US snack loved by loads of people around the nation. But what happens when you see a lioness cub cover herself in the stuff? BIG trouble. There's Furaha covering herself in grape jelly, Orko covering himself in peanut butter and Baby Marvin spraying whipped cream all over himself. Oh, what a messy trio they are! Still, it's quite tasty though.
4.Furaha, Orko, Optimus and Baby Marvin looking out at the vast wilderness around them.
When bears go out of their caves, the first thing they see is the wild wild world spread out around them like a carpet of thick greenery. Furaha, Orko, Optimus and Baby Marvin have all been asleep in this cave all Winter, and when they wake up to the sun warmly shining inside their cave, they go outside into the open to find a whole world stretched out before them - lush green trees, leaves and bushes, waterfalls, lakes and rivers and a bright pink and yellow sky painted by the sunset. If you were to live in a cave your whole life, this is what you'll get.
3.Chopper's I Wanna Know More You Fool!
So I decided to watch One Piece on Netflix, and to my surprise, there was a short segment featuring Nico Robin and Tony Tony Chopper, who appeared in colourful segments which allowed us to learn, not about colours or numbers or shapes like in Teletubbies Everywhere, but characters from One Piece. They even talk about their birthdays and their favourite food. Well, just to answer your question, Mr Chopper Boy, my birthday is on-

[5 minute test pattern because I can't give my details.]

-nd my favourite food is sausage rolls. One of the One Piece girls likes pizza. Even sexy hot girls can like a slice of mozzarella sometimes.
2.Optimus Prime giving Furaha, Orko and Optimus a big, cuddly, tender, warm hug.
There's still time on this list for two more things, and one of them may be similar to a Duggee Hug, but you don't need to have a bunch of young animals shouting it out before this hug, this is why hugs can happen anytime, not just at the end of an after school club or scouting session. Optimus Prime is the kindest, gentlest Toonami character you've ever seen on Transformers Armada ever - except in Cybertron, when he becomes strict and fierce. Armada Optimus is kind and gentle, and loves Furaha and her friends so much. He is a teacher in their lives, and hugs Furaha, Baby Marvin or Orko when they've experienced a nasty fall or are feeling tired. Baby Marvin loves his mum, you know, and her hugs are even gentler than Optimus'.
1.Teletubbies Everywhere Alternate Narration.
In two of the segments in Teletubbies Everywhere, I'm going to add alternate narration and make one of them a sneak peek that should've aired on CBeebies in June 2002, before the coming two epic months of DOOM! The segment where the Teletubbies are walking sideways, accompanied by farting and squeaking noises, can make for a great sneak trailer, much better than trailers with the same old fast paced format nowadays. Second is a segment from an episode featuring kids from the country of Namibia, set on a pink background and featuring Dipsy and La-La drawing a triangle using sand art - the extra narration would have the narrator talking about sand art and what it's useful for. Well, if I were in charge of the world, that's exactly what I'd make.
Also...
...Trump made all our Sky promos fast paced! He's a man who did every crime in the world ever - he should be locked up in his room forever! Who's with me?!
Okay, I'm in.
Cartoon Theatre's He Man: The Beginning
On August 18th 2002, the He Man premiere movie aired for the 3rd and final time on Cartoon Network. In the last two days, it aired as part of Toonami, then as part of Cartoon Network alone, then on that day it aired as part of Cartoon Theatre - a one off since it only shows movies from franchises like Scooby Doo, Balto and The Land Before Time. With Orko on Cartoon Theatre, you'll never be able to see how the films Joseph: King Of Dreams and The Prince Of Egypt aired as part of that strand in 2004 EVER AGAIN!
Monkey D Luffy Has Some Lessons For You!
Hi guys! Monkey D Luffy here. I just escaped the boring wrath of Adult Swim's dull version of Toonami and ended up here on Netflix, yet I can still talk English. And yes, I know, you're thinking of the 4Kids dub of One Piece. Some of you may think it's horrible, but it's the only way to let me and the other Straw Hat Pirates appeal to kids! Anyway, I just came to tell you that I brought you students some lessons to do at home. And one lesson concerns a certain dog mum that's been talked about for ages.
Furaha, Orko & Optimus' Cottage
Furaha, Orko and Optimus Prime living in a giant, cosy two storey house based on the old cottage I used to spend time in, Carnegie Cottage, which is big enough for three - even an Autobot like Optimus Prime, who takes very good care of our two friends like he is their father. Furaha and Orko would have their supper in their lovely kitchen or have peanut butter on toast when Optimus was asleep on the sofa, they would splash in the bath that's big enough and deep enough for all three of them, and when the darkest days and nights came, they would sit together in the dark and the quiet, with only one warmly lit lantern to keep them company.

Scooby Doo & The Alien Invaders
Now that I've found the Cartoon Network/[adult swim] Archives website, I seem to associate this movie with He Man: The Beginning and it airing solely on Cartoon Network straight after this light-hearted movie, which featured the best song sequence in any Scooby movie ever, featuring Scooby, Shaggy and their girlfriends going on adventures, getting married and eventually having kids and puppies together. Shame they're aliens, though. Orko once told us he was an alien wizard, and with his face in shadow, he's so sensitive he could do with a nice, soft hug...
He Man: The Beginning
Well, here it is: this legendary website finally got the day the 2002 He Man series out into the public. He was known as the most abusive man in the universe, especially to poor little Orko, who was a constant punching bag to him and Man-At-Arms. But don't worry, Orko's living a happy life now! But I dare you to look at this schedule. If you do, you'll be rewarded with spades, not swords...
10 Things I'd Talk About If I Were To Attend Today's Lunch Club @ The Auctioneer's
10.Kiburi's majestic entrance to his palace
At the beginning of Our Big Adventure, Kiburi returns home from an outing wearing a golden cloak and an iron helmet. Once through the door, and after comical attempts to pull his cloak out of the doorway, he throws the cloak and helmet off, only to amuse Ua with his mane, which is shaped like a gladiator helmet. Oh, Kiburi, you rascal you!
9.Baby Furaha being messy with her food and making mud pies in the palace gardens
So far my favourite part of Our Big Adventure is seeing Furaha as a baby causing a lot of mess for her brother Orko in hilarious and sweet attempts, such as being messy at breakfast time and getting her food everywhere, or making mud pies in the palace gardens and causing her and Orko to get dirty. Where there's a baby, there's mess, so...look out!
8.Furaha's dream
After Kiburi tells Furaha the story of the City Of Treasure, Furaha has a mysterious dream about following a hooded figure across the forest, while flashes of the City Of Treasure and the Peace Diamond appear before her. This ultimately reveals that she may or may not be the chosen one to bring peace to both the Lion and Tiger Lands. And you think He Man being chosen to wield the Sword Of Power in 2002 He Man was risky to watch, try watching Lion-O recieve the Sword Of Omens in 2011 Thundercats!
7.The nursemaids calling Furaha a mix of brave, crazy, silly and magical
Who could forget that moment in the first episode of Cushelle's tie in series Koala, when Koala's family gathered to wish him luck on his travels? In Our Big Adventure, Furaha and Orko are told the same things by their nursemaids before they set off on their travels. I'm a mix of creative, funny, drunk and childish - Mum, that's the reason you're annoyed every time!
6.Fanfiction
That's right, I'm finally going back to Fanfiction. Now that Ad Blocker has done its job, I won't be able to see Corny Porny or some other sick twisted anime stuff like that. You can check out my two stories, Meet Furaha & Orko and Our Big Adventure, on my Fanfiction page. They're works in progress, so be sure to tune in for the latest updates should you come back!
5.Our Big Adventure In The Classroom
Bringing Our Big Adventure to the classroom is a piece of cake, just ask the people at Google Classroom - who said it was for teachers? It's for those who want to be teachers too! This lesson sees students write down their own Kujali legend inspired by the war between lions and tigers in the story. Lions! Tigers! Listen up! Only Furaha will bring peace to your warring lands!
4.Sticky Bun Day
Well well well - in England, we think of sticky buns as little bread bits with white icing squidged on tip, but since it's Sticky Bun Day I thought I'd try my hand at home economics - that is, if students love getting their hands all stic-uh oh. Home economics. You know what that means, don't you? SCONES?! SHORTBREAD?! OH NO! BLLLLLEEEEAAAUUUURRRGGH!!
3.The Great Water Quest
Excuse me while I wipe the vomit off my face from the previous entry...
....
Right, now onto what I was talking about. This geography lesson incorporates more Cartoon Network into our lives as students design a map to help Furaha, Orko and Optimus find water in the African bush. When there's a drought, all the students of St Duthus and Dornoch Academy would love these types of lessons.
2.Orko The Protector
Tomorrow's story is inspired by the day He Man: The Beginning aired as part of Cartoon Theatre on Cartoon Network. Throughout all of today, I've written down plot points, each ranging from 1-11 just like Little Miss Busy's to do list in Little Miss Busy: Surviving Motherhood. I'm going to do more in the future, but now this story is all about Orko taking care of his little sister for his mother Shani when she dies giving birth to her. I'm also going to add in other characters, like a pride of lions and a group of herons who are the main antagonists, but upon explaining the plot, it's best if I keep my mouth shut when it comes to spoilers.
1.Mylo stories
That's right, I'm doing stories about my dog. My nubbly, jumpy dog who steals knickers, socks, shoes and remotes. Just like Bluey, Mylo lives with his family - his mum, dad and adopted cat sister Mushroom. Mylo and Mushroom can't speak, instead they speak in squeaks and Scooby-Doo-style dog talk. Mylo has a variety of unusual friends - two mice, a teddy bear, a unicorn and a pegasus, based on the things I got from Smyths. Think of Mylo as like 'Kipper' meets Bluey, but with a British twist.
Welcome To The Classroom!
Hey everybody, welcome to the classroom! I've just set up a Google Classroom page so children from Dornoch Academy and St. Duthus can engage in fun and exciting lessons featuring my favourite characters. The first three lessons are based on my recent story, the annual Sticky Bun Day and of course a Cartoon Network themed lesson about making maps. Let's learn.
