I was recently reminded of the song Send Me On My Way by Rusted Root by a friend who referred to it as that song from Ice Age. I gave her "the Whoopi", as pictured below, and said "you mean the song from Matilda!" As a child of the 90's I remembered this song. Matilda was an influential cinematic experience that I believe was shared by many of my peers and that song at the end of the movie will forever be frozen into my brainsicles. To suggest this song is anything than "the Matilda song" is blasphemous! This song was released in 1995 and Matilda was released in 1996 whereas Ice Age was released in 2002; by sheer math, Matilda wins.
And as an aside, Matilda is the original sweetest bitch you'll ever meet; just look at how she befriended that token Lavender with her big ass glasses and the slightly androgynous looking Hortensia. Let's also not forget how she cheered on Bruce at the assembly as he ate that delicious looking chocolate cake that the ill-looking cookie made.
Lavender
Hortensia
Also who hasn't wanted Matilda's powers? Answer nobody.

I was just reminded tonight of the greatness that was "the Flavor of Love." I'm not sure what flavor it was, but I guess it was chocolate. So many fond memories of that show and watching it with my black roommate freshmen year in the dorms. So many topics to discuss:
1. Pumpkin spits on New York. This is my generations Kennedy assassination! No, not really but quite memorable. I can picture it in my mind to this day when New York got owned on national television and then she got ghetto and took her shoes off to try to fight a bitch. I loved New York/Tiffany Pollard and would watch anything vh1 casted her in to this day.
2. Somethin pooped on the floor. Wow, a grown ass woman pooped on the floor after the first elimination on season 2 of Flavor of Love. Somethin squatted on the floor and defecated then ran up the stars after the ceremonious champagne toast and shouting of "Flava Flav" and then shit hit the fan. Suddenly the other "ladies" smelled the malodorous present left by their fellow cast member and found another gift on the stairs. Flav obviously confronted Somethin about this who freely admitted to pooping herself. Despite her lack of bowel control she managed to make it to the third elimination where she was not given a clock because Flav "couldn't get over her defecating on the floor." Its sad enough to be known as a girl who was on Flavor of Love but to be known as the one who also pooped on the floor! Where is there to go from there?
3. New York accuses Hottie of stealing her jacket because she had made statements that she was so competitive that she might cut up someone's clothes to win. Hottie rebuffs New York, saying New York is just jealous, because Hottie believes she looks like Beyoncé. New York tells her she looks more like Luther Vandross. New York's exact words from the unrated DVD to Beyoncé was " Beyonce, I'm sorry that an ugly ass bitch like this would even say that."
4. The fact that one of the competitions was literally making fried chicken!!!
5. The awesomeness that was Buckwild in season 2. "Its time to get Buckwild!" She gave back her clock in season 2 with the return of New York because "she was afraid she would violate her probation with New York there!"
6. New York losing again and flashing her ass!
While there are countless great moments from this crowd pleaser, these were some of my favorites.
