That stack of pancakes in the meme has about 1/3 of what our kids would put on them. They should be drowning. Not to mention all over the beans, sausages eggs or whatever other sides.

For those you are uninitiated, in the maple syrup producing regions of Quebec and Ontario, we buy it by the case. 12 half litre cans each. Or 1 litre bottles.

It’s actually much healthier than corn syrup because it has a lot of dissolved mineral goodness that the trees pull out of the ground - calcium, zinc and iron.

When I first moved from the west, my housemate’s romantic interest showed up with a case and opined that we were sickly westerners because we weren’t consuming syrup all winter. I’ve come round.

It’s 70s Saturday morning animation in the trendy hot pink, orange, lime green and purple of the psychedelic era.

It’s got a lot of episodes written by TOS writers that got reworked from live action, but also some very out there original stuff. Roddenberry really pushed the writers to take advantage of the animated medium.

It’s trippy and worth your time. A couple of episodes, including Yesteryear, are S-tier.

It really is worth the rewatch.

I have the recently published Official Guide by Aaron Harvey and Rich Schepis. It’s really good.

And TrekCore as a full set of BlueRay screencaps just waiting to be memed.

I note that you didn’t even include any of the characters Doohan voiced in TAS.

In addition to Scotty, he voiced just about every other male character, crew or guest, other than Kirk, Spock, McCoy & Sulu.

Unless of course, the earworm is native to Ceti-Alpha.

We had one that would push the bowl or plate off the mat and into the middle of the floor.

Replaced the mat with a small plastic food service tray. Which off course proved easier to slide across the floor.

Ignoring the behaviour is the only solution, but it takes cats 2 weeks to believe any behaviour changes are real. Why did we leave to fall for patient predators as pets?

I heard that.

What would Ferengi think about earworms?

They tried it but it wasn’t dishonourable.

Apparently, the alternate version will be a bonus on the DVD/BlueRay set.

It was popular. Don’t let those brigading against the mere idea of a musical distort the facts.

Some of the review sites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes ended up with average scores in the 7/70% range merely because of the large number of 1/10 votes.

If you check out the vote distribution, it was a small but very vocal minority who opposed the episode on principle, who created the impression that it wasn’t well received by the fandom.

Personally, I’m not a huge fan of American musicals, but I enjoyed and have certainly included it in my rewatches already.

I’m continually positively surprised how many memes here kick off more serious discussion and speculation about the shows. It’s one of the things that sucked me in.

I’m not convinced that I will ever quite have the right sense of humour to have my own original memes take off here, but you guys make me want to stretch beyond my comfort zone.

Education, meaningful debate & self development. Wow.
