King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies
Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.

Character Description:
The Decepticon hunter who masquerades in society as a symbol of the law. Chief function in recee & intelligence gathering. Barricade is a born liar. The greatest thrill in his life is knowing people trust him because of the human decorations on his door panels. The look of betrayal they get when they realize what they’re dealing with is as sweet as candy. The only thing he likes better is chasing down Autobots & breaking them into pieces with his powerful arms & crushing, hydraulic hands.

Think Twice Before Saying

There were these 4 guys, a Russian, a German, an American & a French, who found this small genie bottle. When they rubbed the bottle, a genie appeared. Thankful that the 4 guys had released him out of the bottle, He said, "Next to you all are 4 swimming pools, I will give each of you a wish. When you run towards the pool & jump, you shout what you want the pool of Water to become, then your wish will come true."

The French wanted to start. He ran towards the pool, jumped & shouted "WINE". The pool immediately changed into a pool of wine. The Frenchman was so happy swimming & drinking from the pool.

Next is the Russian's turn, he did the same & shouted, "VODKA" & immersed himself into a pool of vodka.

The German was next & he jumped & shouted, "BEER". He was so contented with his beer pool.

The last was the American. He was running towards the pool when suddenly he steps on a banana peel. He slipped towards the pool & shouted, "SHIT!!!!!!!........."

Moral of the story: THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU SAY SOMETHING, BECAUSE SOMETIMES ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN.

Adversity

Adversity is another way to measure the greatness of individuals. I never had a crisis that didn't make me stronger.

I was looking around for this poster in Singapore. Finally got to see one at Suntec, only to find out that it cost $60. I went in to Malaysia, & purchase exactly the same one for RM59 ( approx $26.80).

Good right? This one carries the full cast & crew, all-in-one.

I watched the DVD version together with my then 2 yr old son, & I got hooked with this show. My son must have watched it over 400 times, cos he played it everyday for the last one year.
