I pick Duckman.

I was strongly considering him for one of my two picks but decided to go with who I got. When I snuck out and watched that show when it was on originally, I didn't get a lot of the jokes, but now I realize that clearly the censors had long fallen asleep before it was on and they could get away with murder. The episode musical number "Carpet Party" in the women's prison (yes, it is implying what you were thinking) in the episode "Aged Heat 2: Women in Heat" was just the most flagrant example of this. I died laughing when I saw that for the first time in syndication on Comedy Central. For all the low brow sex and toilet humor, there was a ton of high minded jokes and satire hidden in a show you just didn't expect it in.

There were 2 characters that go together that I belive I could have taken
to end the draft but I needed to have Duckman on my team. I still have all the shows on VHS somewhere, it was the first Cartoon that I ever watched religiously and I really believe it paved the way for todays harder edge cartoons.

I'm glad they got the box DVD set out. I don't get many DVDs but I picked up complete sets of The Critic and Dilbert in the past couple of months.

With our 9th pick we select:
Baloo (movie: The Jungle book, series: Tailspin)

Height: 6'6"
weight: a lot
40:sometime tomorrow
NFL comparison: a taller version of me

Positives:Was perhaps the most memorable character in the disney movie the jungle book(and its horrible, horrible sounding recent sequel). Was also the main character in the popular disney chartoon tailspin. Two major roles for the price of one baby!
Negativesoesn't really have a mean streak. May be able to plug up some holes on D, but he won't improve his athletic ability by sitting around all day eating and spontaniously singing.
Overall:At least appeared to improve his intelligence when he went from roaming the jungle naked to piloting airplanes. Perhaps can fly the team charter jet?

I think we can safely say that SirFozzie, kingfc22, EagleEye11, oykib, Tigercat or BigJohn&TheLions can make their picks at this point.

I'll the character who was responsible for the "Real" Robot Revolution in Japan. This was the change that gave us real Science Fiction and solid character construction as opposed to the "Super" Robots (Mazinger Z, Tetsujin 28/Gigantor, Combattler V) and Charicaturish heroes of earlier anime.

The revolution began with Gundam. Gundam was based on the the current astrophysical and metaphysical theroies and was a departure in that the war depicted was not a battle between good and evil-- rather it was the conflict between different cultures and ideologies.

The defining character of the series was



Char Aznable.

He was the villian whom everyone identified with. He secretly joined the corrupt Zabi familiy's army in order to et revenge for the murder of his father, the social revolutionary that built the state that the Zabis usurped.

This put him at odds with the heroes from the Earth Federation. But he was the character that everyone liked. Every mecha war story has a Char Aznable character.

The masked anti-hero is ever present-- an homage to the great Aznable. His popularity directly lead to the biggest cartoon franchise in Japan-- Gundam.

For our last pick we select:
The Bill on Capitol Hill (School House Rock)

So we decided to go with somewhat of a one trick pony here. School house rock, however, was quite a popular program, and its catchy little songs such as bill on capitol hill and conjuction junction infested the minds of a couple of generations of children. So we have decided to draft argueably the most popular character, the bill on capitol hill.

So now, if we want to protect our teams substance abuse users(coughPOPEYEcough) we have an advocate in DC.

Hey there was that obviously gay smurf too.(the artist one?) Although, I suppose the smurf with the mirror might have been too. Come to think of it, none of the smurfs really seemed to notice smurfette was female. Holy smurf, I think they might have all be smurfin gay.
