Now, we’re gone as far as we can. We’re not assigning some of our female podcasters and bloggers roles as I feel we’re not that stupid to risk our necks over it plus I’d like them to answer for themselves(SEE EDIT). Remember the exercise here is not to pick the Cheers character you most look like rather the one you most feel like. Remember like the post title says it’s just for fun. Also it helps if you’ve seen Cheers.

EDIT: It’s just occurred to me that you guys might like a female character if you’re male and/or a male character if you’re female. My apologies for not spotting this sooner.

The exercise is open to all. If a character has already been chosen, no matter. I’ll attach you to that character and you’ll share the picture with someone else. If you want to leave a comment with your twitter link, I can then upload your most recent Twitter user image to the table.

P.S. Ed Chavez got the Sam Malone pick because he’s awesome and we nominated him to the role. So there.

Today we tackle Ocean Waves (or I Can Hear the Sea) from Studio Ghibli, our first review from that studio. I hope we did ok with the review but you lot can me tell other wise. While talking about Ocean Waves, Oni makes a connection in the roles of Liam Neeson of late.

Sense a pattern forming here?

We briefly touch off the passing of Robotech producer, Carl Macek. We will talk about Mr. Macek on another show but Oni does share some opinions on the man. In the meantime check out the tributes to Carl on Robotech.com.

We also tackle the thorny issue of what will Oni review for the next show. We had a fair few suggestions. Which one won? You’ll have to watch it and see!

If you’re wondering what I’m chewing on during the show it’s a yoghurt desert.

1) Get a glass, like a whiskey glass, fill the base with fruit preserve.
2) Fill in with fresh yoghurt (flavoured or not).
3) Top with crushed biscuit.
4) Leave in fridge (uncovered) for two to three hours.
5) Enjoy!

Now see, you do learn something new!

Apologies for Oni’s poor audio. Mic change soon.

UPDATE:In relation to Lolita clothing, Sinead pointed out that a person dressing lolita should never show off skin however this is not true. There is a genre of Lolita clothing that shows of a lot of skin and it is called Erololita. A good name for it Burlesque Lolita. See the image at the top of the post for an example.
