User blog:Dr. Angryslacks/Celebrating 20 Years of Ed, Edd n Eddy

Hello everyone, while it may be a bit early for some, in just a couple hours the show we all love dear in our hearts will be twenty years old.

Some of us were not even born when it first aired, or were only small children with vague memories of watching TV commericals announcing a brand new cartoon about three kids chasing a jawbreaker. One thing for certain though, it was a very funny, well made and overall enjoyable spectacle. I'd look forward for every Friday night waiting for another new episode, eager to see the latest money making scheme and overall shenanigans. I'd express deep regret of missing out on marathons, and a long chain of laughter and joy that would have come from it. At one point that sticks out for me especially, CN advertised a seven hour 'Eds All Day' marathon, but for some inexplicably maddening reason they chose to put it in the middle of a school week where only the sick and homeschooled would even have a chance to see it. I was neither, and the sheer disappointment I had at not even catching the tail end of it lingers to this day.

As the years went by and the Big Picture Show aired, concluding a ten year run and marking the true end of an era for the Cartoon Cartoons, I was left wanting for more, admittedly ungrateful and wanting for more Edventures. By chance, I stumbled upon this wiki and by extension the fanon wiki, and never felt so at home. Finally a collection of equally passionate fans working together to preserve the memory of a cartoon that touched their lives dearly, be it in the form of collecting information and trivia about the show for reference or even taking it upon themselves to create fanfiction and art.

Even to this day, some of us work towards either or both of these efforts. Though it may not be with the same eagerness as we have grown older and assumed new responsibilities, and some have gone for greener pastures for good. On the day January 4th, 2019, may we, Edcyclopedians old and new rejoice for the good times and great memories the Ed-boys and Danny himself created together and that twenty years from now a new generation can continue to appreciate a cartoon that stands the test of time.

So now, with all that said, what has the show meant for yourself? How will you celebrate twenty years of Ed, Edd n Eddy? For me, I had to come back here and see everyone who's still around and have a metaphorical round or two. I've even got a plan to make a dish inspired by various foods in the show that I intend to share a picture of when it's complete.
