First and foremost, that's ten articles in ten months. I've been waiting for Syd to catch up since May.

As for the article itself, nicely done. It drew me right the fuck in like most of the others until I reached the exit link.

There were a lot of great lines in this one. I especially liked

"Theater sucks. When someone tries to convince you to join drama club, they want to steal your soul... or sodomize you."

"All male midgets will eventually reveal themselves to be leprechauns. "

and

"If you meet a ghost, and she's fairly hot, don't set her free until she gives up her sweet, sweet ghost snatch."

I remember watching AYAOTD, but I was too young to remember the episodes individually. Thus, this is an awesome nostalgia article for an awesome show back when Nickelodeon was still awesome.

Great throwback to my youth. I remember the alternate universe one really creeped me out. Also, I'm going to be using the Dark Music ep as a baseline for an adventure in my Ravenloft game.

Heh, when I was flipping around the channels last night before dinner, I noticed they were having a marathon of the show on one of the other nickelodeon channels.

Also, while looking at what crap bustedtees.com had yesterday, I found this shirt:

Haha, I'm on their mailing list and I just saw that shirt yesterday too. I feel like it could be worded better, but I'm stilling buying it.

Anyone remember the episode where the Principal was racist and a white student somehow takes a black student through some sort of time portal into the past, and they run around a creepy old school being harassed by racists? Confused

That sounds vaguely like the Tale of Locker 22.

Yeah I think the moral of the story is that time travel is an acceptable way to combat racism. Confused

Another awesome article, i found it ironic that the very first AYAOTD you reviewed was the first episode and the latest was the last episode in the season. Everything comes full circle!

I remember seeing the clown one before, the biggest debate at the end was whether the carnival owner was the ghost the whole time. "GIVE IT BACK!!!!!"

Another moral to the clown one is that smoking is dangerous.
