Anything in your life ever remind you of ChalkZone?
I work at Toys "R" Us, and I've had a few CZ-related things happen. My co-worker and I became friends because we both love the show (and when you're a fan of something obscure, that's great). We have display chalkboard and whiteboard easels in the arts 'n' crafts section of the store for the kids to draw on, and sometimes we'll find out that some kid stole the chalk we had out. So whenever that happens....
"Argh, some kid took the chalk. Now they're using crayons and markers to draw on the board and it's going to take forever to clean" "I hate when they do that" "What kid would take it home, anyway?" "Rudy did it" "Yes. Yes he did." "Rudy needed more chalk so he stole ours"
So every time we walk by the boards and the chalk is gone, we all go, "Not again, Rudy!". Plus, there have been some moments where we'd be walking by the boards and see that someone has either drawn Snap or wrote "RUDY TABOOTIE WAS HERE" on one of the chalkboards.
Also, the songs that play in the store (ranging from cartoon themes, Disney songs, or kid-friendly pop songs) have certain songs that have been in the system for over twenty years (I've heard the Tiny Toon Adventures theme play in there a few times). So there have been a lot of early '00s stuff playing (such as Hilary Duff, Baby One More Time and Oops!...I Did It Again era-Britney Spears, and songs from the Jimmy Neutron movie for some), and now and again we'll either hear the CZ theme or one of the songs off of the soundtrack In The Zone.
And there's this one toy there my friend and I love because of the connection- there's a preschool show on Nick Jr. called Julius Jr., and E.G. Daily plays the titular character. Anyway, the voice she uses for him is the same voice she uses for Rudy, so whenever we pass the talking toys of Julius Jr., we always press the button just to hear "Rudy". The first time I showed my friend was the best.
Me: Hey, hey, hey- check this out! *presses button* My friend: OH MY GOD. Is that.. Me: It is! Both of us: RUDY TABOOTIE! |

Wow, those are so cool. I wish I had stories like that. No one I know in real life but my siblings know about ChalkZone.

When it comes to ChalkZone, I am alone in real life. No one to speak to. Only myself. So, sorry, but I have no stories that I can tell, outside of perhaps a dream if I can remember it, or the times when I did bring up CZ with someone, but it's just explaination or something, so not exactly riveting.

My aunt named her dog after Rudy Tabootie. My other aunt had a dog named Penny, but she came with the name when she adopted her (plus, CZ was still running on OY!C at the time, and this was before Penny was even added).
Maybe I should name my next cat or dog Snap.

As for people I know that share names with the characters, my real name is Michelle (yay, I have the same name as a character who only appeared like, three or four times!). I'm probably not anything like Michelle Norwiegiano, though (I'm saying "probably" because we didn't see much of her. Overall, I'm more like Rudy). I don't look like her, either...or any Nicktoon character to be honest (the closest I can think of are Eliza Thornberry and Angelica Pickles in All Grown Up)
Also, my dad's name is Joe, but he's nothing like Joe Tabootie. Actually, if he was like any Nicktoon dad, he's probably more like Stu Pickles from Rugrats (but looks slightly like Drew).
Otherwise, everyone else I've met with names shared by the characters are pets, actually.

I feel the same way with rhythm games alot like at school i have explain what they are to everyone cause they dont what they are or like them so I don't have alot of friends into them besides maybe two and the people I meet at arcades with cz though this is more of a secret obsession so no one knows im obsessed with it people know what it is though my friend mentioned it on a website he did for a project then he asked people looking at it does anyone remember cz? A few said yes of course I was like yessssssssss and was excited that he mentioned it on the site then he asked me wasnt it awesome and I said yes again so yeah that's my cz in real life story |
