Hello!

I grew up on the Thundercats in the 90s when reruns of popular 80s cartoons was more common (I can’t believe how many kids don’t know what a Smurf is these days). I still love it to this day.

I’m in my twenties but never grew out of cartoons and frequently come to work with a new toy–Just the other day I took some toilet paper and wrapped it around our Bob (a human shaped punching bag) and put a skull mask on it. Then I pretended he was Mumm-Ra and had an imaginary fight with him using my Sword of Omens. I even did the whole sword swinging part that Lion-O does in the show while he’s doing the 'Thunder, Thunder, Thunder…Thundercats HOOOO!" battle cry.

I spent 30 minutes the day before practicing so I’d be good enough when I did it in front of my students and coworkers (I’m a martial arts instructor).

At heart I’m a bit of a romantic but I’m not a crazy shipper. Though I have to say, when I first started watching the show when I was 7/8 I thought two characters standing next to each other a lot meant they liked each other, which was one of the reasons I thought Tygra and Cheetara liked each other–now as an adult I know it doesn’t work like that, but I find it hilarious that in the new version they still stand next to each other a lot.

So yeah, I’m a major geek and it’s nice to meet all of you :slight_smile:

Hi! Welcome and have fun!

Welcome to the board, hope you enjoy your stay.

Cool, and welcome! :slight_smile: Where do you work? Must be a pretty cool place if they let you do stuff like that!

It’s a martial arts school in a suberb of Madison. My boss doesn’t mind when I do stuff like that so long as it doesn’t interfere with class so I usually play around while the kids are stretching or play a game with the toys. Once we played freeze tag and whoever was it had to use my Thor hammer and wear the Thor helmet.

I’ll admit though that when my boss isn’t around I’m a bit worse.

Welcome to the board! :slight_smile:

heh! a lot of people don’t know it but I kinda of dug Cheetara/Tygra back in the day. welcome aboard :smiley:
