for a second i thought this was going to be about the former something awful mod but that guy probably named himself after this guy
it's because SGC2C is great television and if I owned it for real I would campaign for the inclusion of every episode (even those godawful Matt Harrigan ones) in the National Film Registry

In Cirque du Yogi I decided his usual occupation is to be a deliveryman so as to reference this.
He hasn't actually appeared as one yet - so far, he's been "Mister Supersonic" in a non-canon superhero episode, and he was an HBSPN interviewer in a Laff-a-Lympics episode

2010 was, what, half a dozen usernames ago for you? :P

IJBM: all the avatars I used in 2005 are saved as 100x100 because TV Tropes so I basically have to make them again if I wanna use 'em here

The thing is, I was very anal about how my avatars displayed on TVT, so I would always resize them to 100x100 myself rather than let the website shrink them.
But I was stupid enough not to keep the source images.

I find myself wondering what it says about me that I spent much of 2009-10 aspiring to be Veruca Salt.

It's just funny to me that despite adoring Roald Dahl pretty much ever since I was able to read, I somehow missed the point of the Veruca Salt character so thoroughly that I ended up thinking "It sure would be awesome to be her!" and not "wow, what a greedy little twit."

im not sure how you would do that with just veruca salt but none of the others
though this would explain why u are human garbage that belongs in a garbage dump
I think part of it is that my family was always relatively poor and so Veruca's life of being rich and basically getting whatever she wants seemed such a stark contrast to the reality I lived in?
Whereas I didn't have any particular interest in watching too much TV or chewing much gum, and I was already a fatty fatgirl.
i mean like, given the structure of the book the sort of didactic nature of "the bad things happen to the bad kids" is pretty obvious, and catching onto some but not all of it would be kinda odd

Well like I caught that she was supposed to be a bad kid but I just found myself thinking "well, who wouldn't be like her if they were in that position?"

Her Oompa Loompa song in the 1971 movie even points out that her parents are more to blame for the way they raised her than Veruca herself is, which is something the 2005 movie just kinda glosses over
I should probably read the original book again, it's been like 15 years...

I still love Matilda as an adult but I think that's because the main character's experience is something I can relate to on a level few other characters reach for me
I didn't have that connection with Charlie, or really any of Dahl's other books, even if I enjoyed them

Also, looking at the 100 x 100 set pretty much just shows that my younger self had no clue how to edit images
