honestly, the most devastating news you could hear about in 2007 while playing roblox was learning that Scatman John passed away in 1999. like, finding that out was the roblox child's equivalent to 9/11.

#i remember discovering scatman through like. mario 64 and roblox bloopers. and also through a lot of old roblox levels #and like listening to his stuff and being like wow this guys fucking cool #only to find a remix of one of his songs that had the day he passed away on the still image of the video #i remember being like VERY saddened because i was like ''no.... no it was too soon...''#as if me as a 9 year old kid could've done anything to stop it #it is genuinely sad to see some of the people i liked as a kid having passed away via lung cancer #LIKE NOT TO BE REAL ON THIS FUCKING POST BUT. God man #like it was specifically actors i loved watching as a kid. and learning oh. the bastard cigarette did it again.#growing up i watched a lot of Lucille Ball shows and Jim Varney commercials #Jim Varney especially was another moment for me as a kid that was like. incredibly devastating #like i mainly knew him purely for his Ernest commercials. like i didn't even know he had movies for most of my time watching him as a kid #like we had a VHS tape of his commercials (that's uploaded to youtube) that i was so fucking obsessed with as a kid #like i would constantly play that VHS tape on any television in the house that i could #when we moved i think i watched it a few more times until it eventually ended up in the basement #and immediately i was saddened to find the VHS tape once more #this time found beneath the stairs and covered in a green goop (or mold-like substance)#and from then on id constantly beg my mother to go on Ebay and find Ernest's Greatest Hits Volume 1 #later learned that it was uploaded to YouTube and my mother was like ''why do you want a VHS tape if it's on youtube''#which is like an absolutely fair point but. idk owning a physical copy was a completely different experience #sorry this post was supposed to be about the roblox child's personal 9/11.#anyway did you guys know that Niel Cicierega was on a youtube series discussing and rating Ernest movies #i just thought that was neat
