Short List: Songs with a Rendezvous

'when we had our last rendezvous'

2. Cocktails For Two - Spike Jones
'at some secluded rendezvous'

3. Inside Out - Eve6
'rendezvous then I'm through with you'

Fictional Real Estate: Third Earth

Pros:

• There appears to be a functioning society (in one episode, there is a wedding)


• That fan-made live action movie trailer is perfect.


• I have always loved Panthro. He would be cold like a soldier in person, but I would feel safe knowing he was around.


• It would be pretty cool to hear Lion-o assemble the Thundercats with the Sword of Omens in person.

Cons:

• Snarf would get a.nnoy.ing. SO. FAST.


• Mumra seems pretty dangerous.


• Lion-o in a cartoon: buff and kind of handsome...for a big cat. Lion-o in person? Not so good.


• All the boys in the normal town would always talk about how hot Cheetara was but would eventually settle for me and I would feel like a consolation prize.


• Third Earth is a TERRIBLE name for a planet.


• It would be really annoying to be in the middle of a conversation with Tygra and then have him freeze, eyes turn red, and then run off, probably dropping what they were holding or breaking things as they leave your house.


• The Cat's Lair does NOT look that cool. School field trip monument sight-seeing tours would be so dull.

Final Thoughts:
I would not like to live on Third Earth, but I would like to saved by Panthro.
