[Some Noise]

Part of the 44 Nights of Moral Orel and the first episode of the series, I am kind of certain that I started to watch this when Cartoon Network first started to show it. At that time, there would have been no way for me to recognize the voice of the singer of the second song that was on the car radio on their way to church this episode.

One of the reasons that I had such a difficult time watching an episode of Moral Orel a day is how much I came to care about the characters in it. Compared to Metalocalypse which is obviously a fantasy and helped me to understand the music which it is from. Moral Orel is often really good at some of the same religous fantasies that have actually entered into how other peoples lifes are managed and how the well-being of a population has been mis-managed.

I had my own joke about this turn the other cheek idea. My years as a Christian active in an institutionalized version of it were kind of sweet in that it was like being employed with people and I got the chance to interact with people that I probably would not have in the way that the high school "who is who" system had isolated me from. Later, as an adult, the idea of always turning the other cheek to the face of wrongness was not so good and my joke was that this same God gave each human being four cheeks to turn, metaphorically meaning that you have two other cheeks whose turning them tends to mean something more like "Kiss my ass" which I always use to mean something like "your opinion is wrong" or well, now that I think about it, I am not certain what I mean when I say this and I probably don't say it that often. But the fact remains that everyone is born with four cheeks, not just the two they mention to the children at whom the lesson is aimed at.

Like that episode of Family Guy which was both my most favorite and least favorite, I really loved the opening and closing of this episode and was very uncomfortable with the middle part.

Lately, here, Adult Swim has been showing a 44 days of Moral Orel (something like that) with introductions of each episode by the creators (people with various titles). I have been uncomfortable with the chroma-key background (or whatever it is called, on the theatrical stage, it was called a scrim and was hand painted) that these creators are standing in front of but watching all of the episodes has not been as difficult as this task had been more than a year full of months ago.

Many of season threes episodes stood out to me and should be mentioned here, this one is being mentioned because I wanted to insert a quote in my new quote section from it.

This is their peepee episode and also interestingly enough, Orels first capitalistic venture which is unusually successful.

I get angry. One of the reasons that I get angry is that this animation appeared after I saw Davey and Goliath as an option in the cable listings, requested it with the TiVO and watched it with a person I have in the past used my time and patience and cultivated as if this being would be a friend. It was shortly after this that the animation appeared.

I get angry. I am five or six years of angry now and that is added to all of the impossible which I encountered before then which I am also and still angry about.
