#give me Dave benson Phillips or give me death

[somanyocssolittlerps]

If I could go back in time, I would stop little five year old me from taping over the Playdays episodes we’d recorded with, of all things, Tom and Jerry.

Playdays is almost impossible to find (there are a few clips on YouTube but nowhere near all the episodes or even one full episode most of the time)

Meanwhile you can get Tom and Jerry episodes EVERYWHERE.

Tiny child me had no idea, I can’t blame her, but god if I could time travel I would go and show her that one day she could watch Tom and Jerry on a PHONE of all things and that she’d better not tape over Mr Jolly because one day she’ll be desperate to watch them because, shocker, they won’t be on every day anymore

It is almost midnight right now, I should be in bed, but instead I am wide awake regretting my past decisions
