Oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh



Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Absorbent and yellow and porous is he. If nautical nonsense be something you wish. Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish.





If you don't know the response to each of these sentences then you haven't experienced the world of the Nickelodeon smash hit Spongebob Squarepants. Spongebob and his pals debuted in 1999 then took a long hiatus in 2003. The show had a big hit in 2005 with a movie version using the imaginative title The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (which grossed something like $85 million in the US) and followed up with a come back series.

The show follows the daft Spongebob on his journey through life. He has a BFF, the even dafter, Patrick Starr (guess what he is), a crotchety neighbour Squidward, tightwad boss Mr Krabs - who weirdly has a whale for a daughter (I try not to think about how a crab and a whale mated), a squirrel (Sandy) who lives in a tree dome - because remember they are under the sea and squirrels can't breate without air rounds out Spongy's friends. Of course in any good cartoon there is a villan and in SB it is Plankton - who is what his name describes.

Check him out in all his spongy glory at www.nick.com/shows then click on the spongebob link.

I can't choose a favourite episode because there are just too many good ones. What I love about SB most is how he makes my boys laugh. Sometimes at night (they share a bedroom) my hubby and I can hear them sing Ohhhhhhhhhhh....who lives in a pineapple under the sea.

She-ra
