My paternal grandfather pretty much ignored me when I was a kid. He wasn't overtly hateful or anything, but I was his last chance at a grandson and lacked that all-important Y chromosome. My big sister was great about it, though. He'd give her a $20 (ignoring me) and, completely unprompted, she'd split it with me. (And I was not a particularly charming little sister.)
Then I turned 12 and was the spitting image of my paternal grandmother. She'd died by then and grandpa had married her utter nemesis. And all of a sudden, there was a younger version of her visiting on holidays, reading books and occasionally shooting him hurt looks over the top of the pages. Freaked. Him. Out. Good times.
He started giving me $20s, too.

If mole rats could talk, what would they sound like? I'm gonna guess like Huckleberry Hound. No wait, that's not it. Who was the cartoon dog with the droopy face?
eta: Droopy. That's it. That's what mole rats would sound like.
You never watched Kim Possible, did you?
Yeah, but just one or two episodes. Did that mole rat talk?
Ooh baby!
Scooby Doo & Velma As Vampire & Zombie Hunters
I've mentioned my Velma crush, right?
I think I need this t-shirt....
eta: I just noticed the "R.I.P. S+F+D" on the van's door. Heh.
Rufus was less articulate than even Scooby Doo, and was voiced by Nancy Travis.
Except in A Sitch In Time, when he was voiced by Michael Dorn, but that was an alternate reality.

Fuuuuck. I couldn't fall asleep last night, then I woke up at 5:30 worrying about work. Just as I was thinking I should just get up, of course I fell back asleep. Now I'm going to be late for work. But I guess I really don't care about that!
