User blog comment:Dr. Angryslacks/Celebrating 20 Years of Ed, Edd n Eddy/@comment-3570366-20190104101840

Hey Doc, long time no see.

I was browsing reddit when I saw the news that the show was turning 20. All I could do was stop and stare as memories flooded my head. I remembered watching the show throughout the week, and fortunately I was able to catch some of The Best Day Edder marathon (I could have sworn it ran until either the weekend, or that may have been a Friday night). One Christmas my parents gave me the DVD’s for seasons 1 and 2 and my god, did I watch the hell out of those. I remember playing E,EnE Gameboy and DS games and staying up throughout the night underneath my bedsheets to finish the Gameboy games (looking at you, Jawbreakers). I remembered the various items and presents my dad had given me as presents throughout the years and even until now! Boy have I something to share with you all from this past Christmas! And course, I remembered this wiki, the first online community I was really a part of. I remember first stumbling upon here and being absolutely awestruck at the sheer volume of information. It was overwhelming. Even if a solid chunk of it was plagiarized hahaha. Oh yeah, I still remember Operation R.E.W.R.I.T.E. I wanted to be a part of it all so bad, I started out as a Unregistered Contributor for what felt like the longest time. I think one of the best things that came out of this show was finding this wiki. To be a part of a community that shared my love for Ed, Edd n Eddy was awesome, to say he least. I finally felt like I belonged somewhere. I looked forward to editing every day and being an active participant of the wiki. Of course, that passion has waned on my part. I’m not the kid I used to be. And maybe that’s just what E,EnE is to me, a fond memory of simpler times. And I love that I hold the show dear to my heart in that way. I like to think that’s how I’ll remember it even when I’m grey and old if I make it that far.

The show was my medium to detract from reality, even for a moment, and never was it a moment too long. I grew up in an apartment, and by trying to emulate everything from the show, I grew closer to my neighbors and friends as a result. But today, I think I may watch an episode or two or three dozen. There’s a mammoth jawbreaker lying underneath my desk and I may take a literal crack at somehow consuming it while I watch.

Speaking of jawbreakers, I look forward to the food pics, doc. Does this make you Chef Angryslacks now!?
