Late 70's, I want to say. Lemme check - it was called "The Perils of Penelope Pitstop". I loved her so much that most of my books had "This book belongs to Aimee Jo Heumann and Penelope Pitstop" written in them because I was her and she was me.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I was way wrong. 1 season in 1969.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Clicking around the site with the Disney princess post I came across this [link]
The comments are going to cause much pain to my head and my desk.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I remember watching that in syndication all throughout the 70s, Aims.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
1 season in 1969.
Huh. We got Wacky Races as kids, but not this. (We watched a lot of cartoons in '69.)
Bastards!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Little mermaid was my favorite -- made me sob. However, even the first time I read it I thought the little mermaid was incredibly stupid. Somehow giving everthing up before you even could talk to the guy-- How was anyone supposed to love you if they never talked to you. That's why I cried.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Don't get me wrong; I think that pretty much all of the fairy tales presented -- Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Goddamn Mermaid Who Gives Up Her Voice For A Dude -- are horrible stories that instill patriarchal values into little girls before they have the ability to reason and see that they're bullshit. Feh.
See, and I think that's why The Disney LM makes me spit fire! Because, damn it, IT IS SUPPOSED TO END POORLY AND SERVE TO WARN YOU ABOUT THAT STUFF.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I remember Penelope Pitstop coming on after Wacky Races.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Mulan is the only Disney Princess I can tolerate at the moment. I have yet to see The Princess and the Frog, though, so I'm holding off.
Aims, if it helps, one of Liv's classmates, PUSHED ANOTHER GIRL INTO THE POOL during swim class--when the teacher was too far to grab the fallen child. The girl's mother had to fish her out, sputtering and coughing. There was Big Time Fallout. So at least Em didn't try to drown another kid!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I think people who don't like The Little Mermaid should watch Princess Tutu, which takes a similar idea (water creature becomes human to woo a man) and makes it way more interesting and awesome.
