RE: POWERup - 50 - Stripy

in Knack4buzzlast month (edited)

😂😂😂How could I not know Stripy? Fortunately, in Northern Italy, we could pick up Capodistria, and we were able to watch 'Schiacciapensieri,' a show that featured some fantastic cartoons.🤣🤣🤣

Thank you!

Schiacciapensieri 🤔 were you sneakly watching over the border to enjoy yourself and laugh your arses off 🥳

It depended on where I stayed what to watch. One Grandmother was good for Germany, home for BBC and pirates broadcasting on the North Sea (English and Dutch ships) and another grandmother for watching the South neigbours.

There wasn't much tv. On wednesday afternoon (no primary school closed at noon) de kijkdoos (the viewing box). Stripy was in it, short but good for a laugh.

Do you still laugh about Stripy?

Seeing Stripy again made me laugh and remember those good times when there was only the carefree nature of adolescence. My most vivid memories of those times are linked to the moments spent at my grandmother’s house, who wouldn’t let me watch it if I didn’t behave well. She was very strict because of her past, but I loved her.

At least she allowed you to laugh.
Mine strict one wasn't too fond of children. Not her own, not her grandchildren, not animals either.
I remember how she forced me to eat the food. I couldn't stow it away. She placed the plate on a shelf in the basement and served it to me with the next meal. Cold of course.. All the butter or fat looked.. 🤢
I still didn't eat it, also not the next days. Perhaps that was the moment she realized I would never empty that plate with mold on it... Never, ever, nooit niet. 🤐

Unlike most people I can live days without food perhaps the result of malnutrition as a baby/toddler? I still hear them say I had to eat because the children in Biafra were dying out of hunger. I never understood why they didn't send my foot to them.
🥴 parents and grandparents are weird.

I'm very sorry, I hope at least you were mischievous and made her life impossible.

The story of the children in Biafra reminds me of something; probably around that time they started making us believe that donating a few coins would solve the problem.

Are they strange? Yes, they are, and I hope I don't become like them; I tell myself this every day to reassure myself.

Regarding Stripy, there was a typo due to the phone's autocorrect. It was called "Scacciapensieri," and it was a container of cartoons including Stripy, broadcast in the 70s by the Swiss network RSI

Capodistria is a memory of mine from the TV network TV Koper-Capodistria, which also broadcast in Italian, and probably replicated the Swiss program.

I never made anyone's life impossible. I say nothing just look at them. If that doesn't work after years I leave.

This duo in their strange world was part of wednesday afternoon tv 😁 I watched how they rolled over the screen - black and white still knew they were red and blue.
