Born from an egg on a mountain top,
Monkey is funky and never stops,
He knew every magic trick under the sun,
And teased the gods and everyone and had some fun.

I love that show.

Lol Halo, no but I did pretend to pluck out a hair and blow and wave my hands around to call a cloud

And I know exactly what you mean by those bloody B**stards in white, can't wait for it to be finished!

Tripitaka was a woman playing a man, as her name is Masako Natsume.

Tripitaka is actually a Mahayana Buddhist (Greater Vehicle) which teaches love and compassion - Tripitaka always wants to help people and forces Monkey to help. The Mahayana tradition was founded by Je Tsongkhapa who was an emanation of Manjushri (The Wisdom Buddha). This Tradition teaches that everyone has a Buddhaseed and can become a Buddha.
Tripitaka means 'Three Baskets' in Sanskrit:

Vinaya Pitaka (Basket of Discipline)
Sutra Pitaka (Basket of Discourses or Teachings)
Abhidharma Pitaka (Basket of Ultimate Doctrine)

Mantra means 'Mind Protection' - Tripitaka's ultimate goal is of course Enlightenment or Buddhahood. Which means escaping Samsara and suffering (being reborn). In Samsara you can be reborn in one of the six realms see The Wheel of Life. Also in some episodes you can see a Mala (beads tied together on string) which you can count Mantras on hanging around Tripitaka's neck.

Also Sandy is a kappa, a japanese water demon.

@ Neen How sad were we.

Thanks Al Your knowledge has amazed me yet again.

Lol Halo, yes very sad and what makes it even sadder is that was just the tip of the ice-berg.Remember the movie Flashdance?Lets just say, leg warmers and trying to jump onto the kitchen table(like she did with the judges at the end of the movie)and falling flat on my butt.Like I said that is just the tip, yes very very sad.........;o)

Other good ones include CSI Alias And something else i can remeber tell you the rest later

always and forever...THE XFILES! but also CSI...and most anime

yes!!!!!! the X-Files rules!!!!!!!

mostly every show on toonami except for probably one or two

Deep Space 9

i almost forgot about the discovery ch. without it i would be a blundering idiot. i love discovery! If u dont watch toonami because u dont like anime watch it on sundays. its the funniest sh** on tv since the simpsons. I'M SERIOUS!

I'm a Discovery nut. It's pretty much the only channel i watch, besides A&E which is alot of the same programming.

Documentaries, that's what it's all about.

After giving it some thought, I find that I have some pretty morbid taste:

CSI(All of them)
Law and Order(All of them, including reruns)
Without a Trace
Cold Case

That is a whole lotta dead people I see everyweek!

My favorite is the Simpsons...It always makes me laugh regardless of how many times I see it...

Most of the time I watch the Discovery/TLC/PBS kind of channels though...

Simpsons, i'm afraid to say, has completely lost my interest.

There was a time, not to long ago, where it played 6 times a day and i would watch it EVERY time it was on.

Now, having seen every single episode over 10 times i find it tedious, and to be quite frank, in my opinion, the new episodes are complete arse. The humour has changed form somewhat witty to downright stupid.

*sigh* Tis a sad state when i have to say this about my beloved Simpsons. Bring on Family Guy!!

friends!!!! everwood!!!! smallville!!!!!
