Anyone who listens closely will know that I am a fan of the cartoons, dating back to the days when I would come home from school to Woody Woodpecker and Scooby-Doo’s Mystery Movies on Channel 41. To this day, I still number Danger Mouse among my favorite television programs, but the more recent cartoons have things going for them as well. I still can’t believe that the surrealism of Higglytown Heroes never had a brony-like stoner fanbase, while the genius of Phineas and Ferb is undeniable, starting all sorts of fascinating trains of thought about life, science, and the can-do spirit.
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as Ferb would, “…”) reveals that there’s a platypus controlling it, asking:
Would you rather be a Phineas (the frenetic, irrepressible idea man) or a Ferb (the reserved scientific guy who makes it all possible)?
Considering I already fulfill the Phineas role, I’d love to be a Ferb guy. I’m trying to learn a new language (Python) to start doing that.
In some ways, my partner and I are already in the roles (with me as Phineas and her as Ferb). We’ve even got our own versions of Baljeet, Buford and Candace within our group of friends.
But I wouldn’t mind being the smart technical genius one for a change. I always sorta imagined my Mirror Universe goatee’d counterpart would probably be a lot like that.
I would’ve thought that I was Phineas as I have a tendency to ramble. I was told tonight that I’m the smart one in my relationship, so according to my girlfriend I’m supposed to be the Ferb. I’ll have to learn to be less loquacious.
