nostalgia

Chika chika chika bop paaaaaa

Oh, sorry, I was just tryping out the theme from the classic Nicktoon Doug. Remember Doug? It was that show about a boring middle schooler, which was somehow really compelling. 

Well, one of the thigns that gave that show its charms was the sound effects. From the scatty theme song to all those nasally characters, Doug was just as well known for it's sound as its look. 

Great Big Story sat down with the man behind it all. Fred Newman is a voice over artist who mde all those sounds with his mouth. He asl odid voices for Harry and the Hndersons, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, and, everybody's favorite movie, Gremlins.

It's a right of passage, cracking your phone screen. Why, when your children ask you about the day you became an adult, it'll probably sound a little something like this:

"Ah, shit. Screens cracked, and I still have six months before my upgrade. Maybe my mom can give me one of hers."

We've all been there. But apparently, a phone is being resurrected to help fix all that. The indestructable Nokia 3310 in all it's brick-like glory might be relaunching at the end of Februrary, according to The Verge.

That's right, all your old favorite features might be back: hard to break, long battery life, Snake II. Plus all your friends will be so jealous that you aren't spending your entire life staring at your phone. 

Needless to say, people are pretty excited about this:
