Okay! So it seems like infographics are all the rage! And as I mentioned in that topic, I would really, really love to see some kind of graph charting all of the wonderful 90's references present throughout Animorphs.

I think it'd be a nice community project if we split up all the books between members and had everyone hunt for a list of references, plus anything that might be unique to one book they think is awesome or hilarious. Then we can use all the data to make one awesome pop culture ref chart. :D What do you say?

Aaaaah, I wish I could do some searching too, but since I'm about to go and move into student accommodation I don't really have the time...buuuuuut perhaps I can suggest a few references to look out for?

- Star Trek
- your / everyone's minutes
- Ax eating food
- Jake's dad jokes
- 'don't call me Prince'
- Marco driving
- things destroyed by Marco driving

Aaaand as suggested in the other post by various people:
- variations of 'are you insane?'
- thermals

Haha, added a few of those. XD Wasn't sure that Jake's dad's jokes were that pervasive? And thermals we got a description of pretty much every book where they flew... which was every book. XD So.

in regards to technology that is now outdated like whoa, AOL SCREENNAMES. I remember being so flustered when Jake's screenname was too long to be a proper aol sn.

90's stuff x3
~Hanson >.>
~"Jeremy Jason McCole" (aka Jonathan Taylor Thomas)
~Nine Inch Nails.
~Arnold.
~PS2? I think it was in one of the books.
~Pokemon
~The Magic School Bus
~The Ramones

There's probably a ton more, but this is all I can think of for right now.

Added some! Left out JTT since it was an ~covert~ reference and really only for one book. :3 But yeah, I'm sure I'll remember more as I actually go through them, lol.

Such a cool idea! XD Can I do 25, 27, and 29 (apparently, I have something against even numbers)?

Suggestions:
-Times Ax asserts Andalite technological superiority over Yeerks/Humans
-Things Ax didn't pay attention to in class

Can I do #20? I think David actually uses AOL to time his email to be sent to the eBay buyer, which turns out to be Visser 3?

Lol, well I can say straight out that the most memorable (maybe only?) NIN reference was in the book where they go to the zoo (I think #14?) and Cassie reveals that she told her mother NIN stood for "Nice is Neat" and she was worried about her mother sharing that with the class, lol.

And how is Star Trek a 90s reference? :s

Anyway, neat idea, lol, I'll volunteer for #6 and #19 please? Two of my faves...

2011-01-29 02:10 am (UTC)

I think that might be the only NIN reference too, but I suppose we'll see? XD Lumping all the music people together anyway, I think. Also, corrected Star Trek. :)

And added!

Awww, I really wish my books hadn't vanished my freshmen year of college- so many Rachel books left!

How about number of times people mention Rachel and shopping in one sentence? ;)

[info]kiriska

2011-01-29 02:23 am (UTC)

I have PDFs I could send you if you'd like? :3 Send me a message about it~.

But I am thinking that Rachel/shopping would happen about once per book in the first chapter when the narrator mentions everyone, lol. XD Maybe a bit more often in the first dozen books and ramping off in the last dozen. XD

I think that trend may be one of the more predictable ones? At least once a book, I'd wager. :O

So I have lurked here for ages and decided to get an LJ account so that I could maybe join in with this, because it sounds awesome, if that's okay? I swear I am reliable.

I could do MM2, 16, and 17, if no one minds my gatecrashing.

You got 18! Gave the person under you 50 since they only requested one, but if you'd like another book too, lemme know!

Andalite Chronicles and Visser should be added in too - Elfangor does get quite a bit of human exposure (his mustang, "bubbling brown water", etc.) and Edriss did live as a human for quite a while.

I am about to reread 49 anyway for fanfic purposes so can I take it? I can take 51/52 also if you're not needing this like TOMORROW. I'll probably need about a week and a half to do all three, given the amount of time I actually get to read.
