At least it's less creepy when we do it now, there's a much more balanced teen boy to older creep ratio these days. Back then it was too much boy for just Bio and Zen to handle. And I think there was someone else who was like 30 or pushing 30 when I was a kid but I forget who and I might be remembering that wrong.

God every time I come back here this is still somehow towards the top. I hope Bio isn't dead. Let's see he was 32 when I was 14 and I'm 31 now. In a year I'll be just as old as he was when I joined. Bio would be 49 or maybe 50 right now if he is still around. And Atomic/Zen is most likely 58 by now. Anyone ever hear from him anymore?

Always fun to see the old site. And yeah what's up with .cc right now? I went looking there for the forums last time and got distracted reading that wondering if this is some kinda joke I don't get or just a wierd filler type site from whoever owns the domain now.

It started with .net and then when the main site migrated over to .cc, .net was given to Clear for some reason. Her and Bio ran it together, that's why Bio already had it when Pint deleted the main site. I guess he made some kinda deal with her to take it over when he saw the crew had nowhere to go.

Oh that's another memorable moment too; Clear freaking out about everyone humping her character in stupid little flash movies mostly made by teenage boys. It's like what did you expect? That's why she was always hiding out on .net and almost never came to the .cc site, extremely obscure cartoon fruits and vegetables dry-humping.

I guess Judy cos aren't the rest of them like 11? I was always wondering what that eye kid's name was though, thanks for that.

i think we never had a mailbox or mayonnaise clock and that's p fucked up

also was there a belt clock? like, a leather belt with a clock? the joke being that it just looks like a wrist watch??

wait was there a wristwatch clock???

I think a few people joined as a watch type clock, but they usually didn't last long, either changing to something else or just being one of those guys that's only around a month or two and then disappear. The novelty of it gets old I guess. I like the beltclock idea though, that's a new take on it. There was a GrandfatherClock I remember too, it wasn't always a watch but yeah the whole using an avatar that already normally has a clock on it thing has been done before.

I remember the first two movies from back in the day but I either stepped out before he made the third one or just totally missed it. The third part where he did everything himself is really impressive, I only knew his older stuff and never would've guessed he would get that good at it. But like I said I barely knew the guy and have no idea why he would put me in a role way more suited for Celery or Radish. As far as the veggie hierarchy would go I would think of it as Carrot being top dog, Celery is underboss/lieutenant, the capos would be Radish, Cabbage, Red Pepper and Gherkin. Then you would have people like me, Turnip, Onion and Tomato, we would be the soldiers I guess since I'm describing this more as a mafia thing now. The rest of the vegetables are associates, they roll with us but they're not made veggies yet.

Honestly though, I was never a fan of stuff like that that played identity politics with the CC. Most of us never took our typing that seriously, it was just a fun little thing at the beginning having the fruits and veggies fight each other. But sometimes some new guy would sign up and seriously think we were like that in real life. I remember this one guy me and Frog bag couldn't stand named Turtleclock, he thought we were all about what kind of clock we were and fruits and veggies really didn't like each other. He was obsessed with grouping all the animal clocks up and proclaiming himself the leader. When Frog bag tried to tell him no one gives a shit and we're all friends here and even if we weren't some 14 year old isn't gonna just show up out of nowhere and proclaim himself leader of anything. Turtle seriously claimed Frog bag was just jealous of him because he's not a true animal clock and secretly struggles with his identity being both a bag and a frog. That time when I said we used to have way worse people and way more of them, Turtle would be a great example of what I meant. I doubt you'll ever find Turtle in an old movie though. Usually it's friends putting their friends in movies and Turtle had no movies or friends to his name.

Please elaborate on how you were a dirtbag.

hm... it wasn't in, like, a bad way? I was a nice enough guy, I was just, like... violently disillusioned and misunderstood. it's kind of hard to articulate
I was a prematurely disaffected ten year old (probably a combination of being precocious and closeted) which was compounded by nobody understanding what the fuck a ten year old would have to be so existentially morose about, and by the time I hit high school I was in full blown nobody is going to understand me so I'm not even going to try mode. I started questioning everything, and if nobody could give me a satisfactory answer I'd just see what happened if I ignored it, and quickly learned the answer was usually "nothing". as achewood put it, being in trouble is a fake idea. it started with stupid shit like "why do we only sit when there's chairs?" and I started just sitting or lying on the ground whenever I felt like I was done standing. needless to say I wasn't very hygienic. I stopped wearing shoes for a bit. I seldom bathed, and a couple times I found an item of clothing in the gutter and just start wearing it which I have no excuse for. like I'd rinse it off under a hot tap with hand soap, but I can't even imagine doing that now, holy shit. (though, full disclosure, I still have a bandana and a kitty collar that I wore as a bracelet from this practice that I don't wear but kept for sentimental reasons)
by senior year you could catch me sleeping on park benches, hanging out on rooftops, coming to school just for lunch- that was another thing, if I didn't feel like being somewhere, I'd just leave? they can't stop you from leaving hahaha. (follow me, here: leaving early or being late nets you detention, and missing detention becomes a longer detention, which becomes a Saturday school, which becomes a suspension. soooo if you don't go to school, your punishment is... you don't go to school? this still makes no sense to me) the breakdown of structure might be why my memories from this time (ages, like... 12 to 23-ish) are pretty hazy. I remember I guess a lot, but have no sense of discrete phases or a cohesive whole.
I'd often sleep at odd hours, because I realized I could just sleep whenever I wanted, and so yeah. often at night we'd just sort of... wander around the street? sometimes, not often, we'd enter unsecured schools, churches, and local businesses, not even doing anything bad, we'd just, like, rearrange the furniture lmao. (I'm saying "we" at this point because I did have a few really wonderful friends who were, if not as dirty, at least as aimless as I was.) or yeah, like one time we went into the Mormon church and Sean ended up explaining cyrus the younger and the black sea to me on one of their chalkboards. (they started locking the doors after that, but idk why we did nothing wrong and learned a lot about mormonism.) harmless, dumb, weird shit like that.
which isn't to say I was a saint! I was scrappy at the best of times (until I had this... weird, pacifist spiritual experience during a fever dream that I won't get into right now) I never started shit, but I had a hair trigger for taking any, and I had a fucking mouth on me that seemed to just fire off insults when threatened without needing any of my brain's help. jeezum crow the number of times keith and paul pulled me away from throwing down with some random brodouche over complete bullshit. I wasn't even good at fighting, to be clear, I was weak and uncoordinated, I just didn't care about getting hurt.
somehow in all this I graduated high school and got most of my associate's degree done, and I was active here for most of it as well, but like I say it's hazy.
I found out years later people thought I was, like, awesome, which... at the time, I just felt like I'd given up on being normal? I didn't feel awesome. I was generally miserable, suicidally depressed, resentful toward society, and just trying to find ways to enjoy a life I didn't think was going to go much further. I was dead certain I was going to at least be, if not dead, homeless and insane long before I was a proper adult. but all kinds of people who I'm now a lot closer with have a story or two about bumping into me one night and, for instance, breaking into the school to stack the lunch tables on top of each other, or having an improvised jam session with instruments we didn't know how to play, or spending a couple hours walking up the long, unlit road to the other side of the lake, or showing them a bunny I found, or just hanging out in a parking lot after dark. which... I mean, in restrospect, sure, it probably seemed like I was living an interesting and adventurous life, and I'm glad they got that experience, and I'm glad I went through all that because it's part of what made me who I am, but I'm also glad I'm not that person anymore, because that behavior came from some pretty dark places.
also EVERYBODY thought I was on drugs lol, fucking everybody, but, no, that's just. I was just like that

I also realized recently I've still got shades of that side to me when I'm drunk?
this is my last story, I guess. a couple weeks ago my uber driver passed a highway patrol and said that if they followed us he would have to lose them, because his license is suspended, so get ready for him to floor it, and I was just like "yeah, do what you need to do, man"
there was a pregnant pause and he went "you know I was joking, right?" with a note of concern
haha nope

k

I don't have the .fla or anything, I don't even have Flash or a real computer anymore. The last three years I've been making do with my tablet. But Cherry was in tons of those movies from the early 2000s. The best one I could find showcasing characters I made was The Clock War parts 1 and 2 (in part 3 he drew all the characters himself) by FU Clock. The first time you'll see Cherry will be the scene where all the fruits are standing on the cliff behind Orange. He's between Nectarine and Plum. I never noticed before but if you look behind real Cherry you can see he also re-colored him orange and put him in the backround, there's also a Golden Delicious version of Apple too. You can also see Cantalope in that scene between Durian and Tomato, and PapayaClock who I think was one of the times my little brother made an account on the old site and lost interest the next day. That or one of the many times Irn Bru changed his name but changed back, I don't remember but I remember making him. My brother and cousin are mostly who I made these for, which is why none of them are well-known, but I usually uploaded the .fla whenever I made one because my little brother wanted to be in Newgrounds movies. People usually just put their other Clock friends in their movies but it looks like FU needed to fill out the fruit and veggie ranks a little more for his movie so I'm guessing he just downloaded anyone with a fruit or vegetable name (I guess that wasn't even enough since he had to recolor some of us and hide it in the backround and hope no one noticed).

Anyway, when you first see Carrot with the veggies behind him, the guys you don't recognize were more of Ryan's discarded characters (due to me being a veggie my brother tended to choose veggie characters). On the left of Radish is BrusselsproutClock, who I'm not very proud of. To the right of Radish and Carrot is Bean. Bean's not too impressive either, it was hard to make a bean look cool.

Moving on to once everyone starts fighting, after I take out Rasp like a little bitch, you can see Cherry again looking to reignite our old beef. And there's Bean again fighting with White Cherry (who I didn't draw). You don't want it with the Ottaviano brothers.

When the wierd clocks show up, if you didn't catch him in the cliff scene, that's Cantalope looking up at the ledge to see who just saved Orange. And Papaya's behind him.

After Adrenaline takes out Artichoke he quickly guns down a group of meat and beverage clocks. His first victim is CornDog. His last one is HotDog. HotDog was an attempt to emulate Monkey and Kiel/Baboon's style, which is why he doesn't really look like something I would have made.

I feel bad now that I didn't really see this when FU was around and thank him. Looking at it now FU gave me a pretty flattering role in this. He made me Carrot's right-hand man, something most people would attribute to Celery. If not Celery, Radish would seem like the next logical choice. He's gotta be the only one who would have me and Rasp fighting to the death in his movie and actually have me win. I got to kill Cherry too, though that was a lot more predictable. Then Blue has to come in and void me to death. Notice how Blue just nonchalantly stabs Onion's pussy ass with his own knife. But then he sees Spud coming and he knows only the power of the void can stop this frieght train. Then in a Christ-like fashion I come back to life in part 3 and even get a line in, and it's noticeably before Strawberry has saved everyone else that died. Spud can resurrect himself, thank you.

There's also BellPepperClock in Durian's group shot there I didn't notice the first time. I'm not too proud of that one either though. Not quite as bad as BrusselSprout though. There's probably one or two I missed in Clock War, if I find anymore I'll add them in to this post.

Awesome, I didn't notice the first time that Corndog's on there. Someone was asking me about other people's avatars that I did when I first came back, that was one of them. And I'm pretty sure I did that little guy next to Turnip if his name was Rutabega.

Oh yeah I did Pumpkin's too. But I remade him a better one that I actually drew myself, the one in there is just his old one ripped from a Homestarrunner cartoon (fun fact, Battery and Aubergine also stole their avatars from Homestar). I can't believe that snazzy new one I made of Cherry from that time I tried to steal his name didn't end up in here. That one was always my favorite.

Also why are we friends a Pokemon?

as for the ''strawberry clock being part of two constitutions'' part, i dont know either

Well that was kind of the part I was asking about. I don't get it at all. I could care less about the awards here and showing them off to the ten people still around to see them. But when you're a power bottom you gotta advertise that shit everywhere.

I never actually casted a vote but if I did I would've voted no. When the CC was back in it's prime, when our membership was in the thousands (low thousands with plenty of inactive accounts, but still) we had lots of people like BB10 running rampant. Big fucking deal, he's kind of wierd and off-putting. He also means well and he's incredibly nice. Do you guys have any idea how much you're taking for granted the fact that you only have one wierdo (two when Elements shows up, now there's a guy who should get shitcanned) around here. Frankly I'm disgusted that this conversation is even happening. Back in my day we had freaks who were also fucking assholes, guys who after being on the site for a month and never making more than a crappy avatar thinking they were OGs and talking down to the newer members. And we had douchebags like MountainDewClock, this guy was around longer than me and still acted like a bratty little twit, always talking down to my cousin claiming he had pull with Orange and Rasp and the other founding fruits and threatening to ban him just because he didn't like him. When Pint made me a supermod, I would've loved nothing more than to ban that little shit, but you don't ban a guy just because you don't like him (I'm not gonna lie, I did threaten to once if he didn't leave IrnBru alone, and I got tons of PMs praising me for doing so and telling me to just do it, I think the only reason he was tolerated was because he was around for so long and such good friends with Radish). Point is, if the worst thing you guys have to worry about is BB10 then you really don't have much to worry about.

As far as this harassment thing goes, yeah, I've heard the stories. If he is still doing shit on people's Facebook and messaging their bosses and shit like that, then yeah, I would have to say put a stop to it. But from what I hear he got the message and stopped doing that. He sent me a few PMs welcoming me and asking about the old days of the CC. One of the admins asked me if I wanted him to step in and tell him to stop harassing me. That's not harassment, that's just BB10's way of being friendly and welcoming. God it must be so hard for you guys to have to deal with this prick, always trying his hardest to fit in and be nice to people. There's a difference between someone bothering you and you just being bothered by something someone does when it's not hurting anyone. I haven't seen him bother anyone, all I've ever seen is people jump all over him for every stupid harmless little thing he says.

TLDR version: He's just a friendly idiot, big fucking deal. And our low membership has absolutely nothing to do with BB10. We're just an outdated concept, I was never expecting to actually find the CC still up and running when I Googled them out of boredom last year. If it ever does end for good, whatever. We had a good run and lasted way longer than we probably should have.

I never did get my Harmony Reward tho, even though StrawberryClock is literally part of two constitutions

What the hell does this mean? Just wondering

While we're bringing this stuff up though, I never recieved my promised Power Bottom award either.

A lot of people here used to talk big like we were all about making Flash on the regs, but that's bullshit. All I ever uploaded were two Fun Stuffs and no one ever called me out on it. A few people even thought I was a "talented Flash artist." I used it so little that I probably wouldn't even remember how to do it if I tried it now. Although looking back now there were actually a lot of well-known, long-time, highly revered veterans of the CC that contributed even less than me. Can anyone honestly remember Frogbag ever making a video? Plum seemed like he would've made something but I can't think of anything. Cuccumber, Cheese, I can't recall Tomato uploading anything. And the girls never did anything besides Clear, the original. The rest were a buncha freeloading bitches.

See what I mean though, you got nothing to worry about. And I guess just posting now counts as contributing. We take what we can get these days.

I always wanted to try DMT. Fuck if I know where to find it in Vermont.

Hey I forgot to take a picture but back in 03 Blue said he was actually planning to star RCColaClock in the Void III and there was gonna be this scene where Strawberry hands the crown over to RC and RC becomes king and makes BB10 vice king. So I feel it would only be right to respect the direction he wanted to go in.

Put another mousepad right next to it. You don't have to limit yourself to just two either, the possibillities are endless.

and a happy new year

in other news, sup spud?

nyuthin much

I bought an Xbox so most of my spare time has been going into that lately.

I usually only come here when I have nothing better to do. I assume at least half the users here operate the same way. So at least we can take solace in the fact that if this place is dead it probably means we're doing good in real life.

not anything at all to do with the site.

We used to have a better one but some drunk guy destroyed it. I think his name was PuntClock or something can't remember.
