  • I did the voice of the BIG Cheese and recorded this Higher than a kite at the Saban studios that day. in the late 80s. We never knew at the time it would become such a cult hit. They wanted me to do Paul Lynde. I didn't use my name and said use GOOGIE GOMEZ ( from the RITZ)

      ... Amazing how a character of that nature was done so well in the 80's - 90's. These days its not fun just preachy, then again is is 100% anime goodness ^^.

    Do you remember the dialogue at the end of the two-parter where the Cats get the Supreme Catatonic robot? The bit about how it came from "a civilization so advanced, it blew itself out of existence"...?
    _I_ remember that line. It was 1998, and I was twelve. My brain began to spin and whir... "Civilizations don't just... blow themselves away, because of how advanced their tech is!" I thought. "Wait -- I wonder what a civilization like that would... be like?" I started exploring, and creating a character -- and a race -- around that... lore happened, although I didn't know that word yet. It wouldn't be till sometime in high school, somewhere between 2001 and 2003, when I'd discover that there were others who, like me, were deeply interested in races and even whole universes of animal people... and it wasn't until after I'd left college that I really got involved in the Furry Fandom.
    I'm 37 now, I'll be 38 this June. I'm disabled -- always have been -- but I'm also an artist, a computer nerd, and I swear someday I'll be a writer if I can just get past Chapter Four! and I owe quite a lot of who I am to that dialogue in that scene and what came out of it. My life kind of blew up and fell apart all at once when my mother got very ill in mid-to-late 2007. I eventually had to move out, we couldn't deal with each other any more. I'm neither proud nor ashamed to admit -- after all, such things just kind of are in some folks' lives -- there's a lot of damage there. I have a few friends, furries as well, all of them -- we kind of support each other through our own various issues.
    I never knew your name, even though I have the DVD box set. I'm going to do my best to remember it -- forgive me, please, if I forget, I have ADD memory issues, amongst many others. I'd love to meet you someday, shake your hand, show you some of the art and writing I've done -- art and writing that happened because of the show you were a part of.
    Thank you, sir.
