remember when you were innocently minding your business in 2008 and 3oh!3 dropped the iconic fucking line “tell your boyfriend if he says he got beef that i’m a vegetarian and i ain’t fucking scared of him” that was a transformative moment in everyone’s life

A tale as old as time

Just learned about garden path sentences.

They’re basically a literary prank– the sentence starts out in such a way that you think you know where it’s going, but the way it ends completely changes the meaning while still being a complete and logical sentence. Usually it deals with double meanings, or with words that can be multiple parts of speech, like nouns and verbs or nouns and adjectives.

So we get gems like

The old man the boat. (The old people are manning the boat)

The complex houses married and single soldiers and their families. (The apartment complex is home to both married and single soldiers, plus their families)

The prime number few. (People who are excellent are few in number.)

The cotton clothing is usually made of grows in Mississipi. (The cotton that clothing is made of)

The man who hunts ducks out on weekends. (As in he ducks out of his responsibilities)

We painted the wall with cracks. (The cracked wall is the one that was pained.)

There was something awesomely understated about The Weekenders. Maybe it’s the fact that one of the few cartoons where the main characters wear something different on three consecutive days in every episode. Maybe it’s because it’s a show about four friends (two guys and two girls) where the two girls regularly pass the Bechdel test with ease. Or maybe it was one of the last great One Saturday Morning cartoons Disney churned out.

But yeah. I really liked The Weekenders.

Later days.

I think the appeal is that it was a cartoon that while having zany moments never strayed into complete ridiculousness and the characters feel like actual people, including adults. I would also say that it’s also because the writers do not talk down to their audiences.

They had really great episodes too, like the time when Lor (I think it’s spelt that way) tried to change herself to impress a guy by trying to become like a model who barely ate anything. This show was awesome.

The Weekenders will always stick out in my memory for being a show with really great, snappy writing. The pizza place they ate at changed its theme every week, and it was always a ridiculous pun. There’s this part where Tish remembers having a childhood friend who used to love books and then one day just changed, which was illustrated by her walking outside, giggling, and hissing, “I LIKE POINTY THINGS.” Tino had an anxiety dream about his mom dating a new guy, and because it’s a dream, someone says “Look! It’s Martin Van Buren!” And Martin Van Buren rides by on a tiny toy train chanting, “DOWN WITH THE COTTON GIN! DOWN WITH THE COTTON GIN!”

It also managed to tackle different family structures– Tino’s mom was a divorcee, and it wasn’t because Tino’s dad is an asshole– it’s because it just didn’t work out between them, and nobody was at fault. His mom’s new boyfriend is a divorcee, too, who has a teenage daughter. Tish has immigrant parents from an eastern European nation and often deals with the stigma that comes from being a second-generation child in a first-generation household. Lor has an unknown number of brothers that makes it impossible for her to get anything done at home.

And it didn’t just deal with regular morals, even if they learned a lesson after every episode. Heck, I remember one where Tino, who considers himself likable, finds out there’s one guy in town who doesn’t like him. And he spends the whole episode trying to figure out why and make the guy like him as a person, and at the end, he realizes that it’s okay if somebody doesn’t care for you, because it doesn’t devalue your other relationships.

The Weekenders was just a really great, special show, and I miss it tremendously.

Do y'all remember the episode where Tish’s mom talks about how she never really had a childhood and the gang takes her out to have fun for the weekend and do the kinds of stuff she didn’t get to do as a teenager? And except for Tish showing some anxiety that her mom was cooler than her and would replace her in her friend group no one said anything derogatory about a grown woman going roller skating and riding go carts?

Ariana Grande has offered to pay for all 22 funerals for the victims who lost their lives. She individually FaceTimed the fans that were injured in the hospital. She donated a million dollars of the two million dollar goal to a donation page. She’s planning to return to Manchester for a benefit concert in which all proceeds will be donated to the victims and their families. Yet people still hate her because she licked a doughnut and said “she hates America.” This woman is an angel and I admire her so much.
