Comment by kappa mini — September 28, 2008 @ 10:33 pm
rex, you like speed racer the next generation? SO COOL!!!! Finally, an other fan!!! have you SEEN the new episodes???
Comment by anime_racer_girl_97 — September 29, 2008 @ 7:43 pm
YOU LIKE SPEED RACER: TNG TOO! YES! I JUST LOVE THE COMET RUN SAGA DON’T YOU??!!
Comment by rex — October 2, 2008 @ 10:14 pm
Who doesn’t like SR:TNG?!
and kappa mini aww your so sweet to say that. 
Well you never know. *shrugs* We need some Kappa Mikey or Three Delivery or SR:TNG cosplayers!
Comment by Kappa Lizzy — October 3, 2008 @ 5:43 pm
Yeah, the Comet Run is SO COOL!!!! They’re coming out with The Fast Track movie. I am going get it as soon as I can!!!!!!!! What is you favorite characters?
Comment by anime_racer_girl_97 — October 4, 2008 @ 4:44 pm
I know, right. I don’t know a single person who doesn’t like SRTNG, TD, or KM! I really wish I could make a character for SRTNG and be the voice of her. *sigh*
Comment by aniem_racer_girl_97 — October 6, 2008 @ 8:53 pm
oh, chim chim no contest! speed is great to!
(hey sorry to the fans of kappa mikey who hate us posting here. as soon as a a TNG fan site is created, we’ll leave you kappa’s alone.)
Comment by rex — October 6, 2008 @ 9:48 pm
I really like Chim Chim and Speed, but I also like X and Conor. Sorry, but I don’t like Lucy very much. I really don’t think many kappa’s mind, but the racer’s have to blog somewhere(for those who can’t stand us). SRTNG is the reason I have ‘racer’ in my name. (GO SPEED RACER GO!!!!!)
Comment by anime_racer_girl_97 — October 8, 2008 @ 1:23 pm
*Cheers* Aw fans are welcome no matter what. But I hope you won’t leave forever. After all the fans have to stick together to make it whole.
So going back to Kappa Mikey as well, anime_racer_girl what was your favorite episode?
Comment by Kappa Lizzy — October 9, 2008 @ 6:43 pm
well, my name is after speed’s brother in the original. (rex racer) and that is possibly x’s full name in TNG.
hmmm.. kappa’s and racer’s. what do they call three delivery fans?
and i am a girl. i know that seems weird because i picked a guys name insted of a girl’s name.
(GO SPEED RACER! GO SPEED RACER! GO SPEED RACER GO!)
(i still am sorry to those die hard kappa’s. animation collective! (or whoever makes this site) give us a racer fan site already!
Comment by rex — October 9, 2008 @ 9:49 pm
I call TD fans deliverers. Anyway, thanks Kappa Lizzy, for excepting us racer’s.
hey, rex, did or do you watch the older Speed Racer? I used to when I was little. And, It’s not that weird that you chose rex as you blog name. If I didn’t know better, I might call myself Chim Chim.
I REALLY want them to make a TNG site. It would be SO COOL!!!!!!!
My favorite KM episode is ether Mikey Impossible, Lilyboo, or Night of the Werepuff. Oh, an the Christmas episode. I like Samoa.
I glad that the bloggers that don’t even know each other are so friendly to each other. I really love to blog and I’m glad you guy like it too, or else this would be a boring place.
Love,
HUGE STRNG, KM, and TD fan, anime_racer_girl_97.
Comment by aniem_racer_girl_97 — October 14, 2008 @ 6:16 pm
oh, i love watching the classic speed racer. i was a fan of that long before the movie or TNG came around.
as for me, my favorite episodes of kappa are “the fugi-kid” “mikey impossible” “mitsuki butterfly” “the wizard of ozu” and “the good the bad and the mikey.”
and i wish you could create a racer fan site because i don’t know how, otherwise i would make it myself. (a friendly place for fans of both the original and the new speed racer.)
love, original speed fan/ TNG fan,
REX.
Comment by rex — October 16, 2008 @ 1:06 pm
One of the first cartoons I ever watched when I was little was the original speed racer. I loved it, and I can remember a lot of the episodes.
If you do create a Speed Racer and Speed Racer The Next Generation site, PLEASE comment about it so I can visit it.
I like the halloween episodes of kappa mikey, even thought I don’t celebrate halloween.
anime_racer_girl_97
Comment by anime_racer_girl_97 — October 16, 2008 @ 9:21 pm
yeah, the original speed racer was one of the first cartoons i watched too.
when i was five, other kindergarteners were talking about barney, or big bird. i was the only one saying “and then speed knocked this guy out, and then the mach 5 did this…etc.”
plus back in the day i used to sing the speed racer theme song better than anyone. “here he comes here comes speed racer…”
i’ll try to get that speed racer site up, but i can’t promice it because i have no idea how to get a site up. but if i do, you’ll be the first to know.
Comment by rex — October 17, 2008 @ 12:42 pm
guys! after sevral minutes of serching, i finally found an offical speed racer fan site! and it was right in front of us the whole time! heres how to get there,
1. go to speedracer.com
2. click the space marked “FANS”
3. start an acount and blog your heart away!
i don’t know if it includes a TNG section yet, so be aware. this site is about to get some new members! (which is good, it looks pretty run down. but, with some new messages, new topics, and a few changes, it will be like a website again.)
thank you kappa’s for your time. we are truly greatful.
Comment by rex — October 18, 2008 @ 1:23 am
ok, i’m in. and there is a TNG section! and a fan fic section! we are in speed racer heven!
my user name on the site is racergirl5. see you real soon!
please post your usernames here so i can find you guys. i would hate to lose some online friends.
Comment by rex — October 18, 2008 @ 1:28 am
Cool! Well I hope ya will still post here too. Don’t leave the Kappas hanging now.
Comment by Kappa Lizzy — October 20, 2008 @ 1:27 pm
I checked it out but didn’t join. Question: do I really have to put my email? For now, I’ll just stick to kappamikey.com. Just please, rex, don’t stop blogging here. You and Liz keep it exciting.
I wish there was a site like this (in format, clips of the weeks, polls, posts,ext.) for just TNG because I haven’t seen the original show for a long time. That way, I can just blog without email and other stuff like that. I still remember it, but not very vividly. I was indeed raised with un-girly and somewhat violent cartoons at a young age. No barney, dora, or disney princesses (YUCK!!!)for me! Thanks to my brother, I’m now a disney free girl! YEAH!!!!!
Comment by anime_racer_girl_97 — October 20, 2008 @ 8:35 pm
don’t worry, i’ll still post here! why would i leave the kappa’s now! i’m like, part of a cult. the kappa/racer/delivery cult! ok, not very catchy. ok we’ll call ourselves the KM/SR(TNG)/TD SUPER CLUB! sounds great to me!
Comment by rex — October 21, 2008 @ 5:07 pm
Well I’d stick to here if you are not ok with giving out your ema0l address at all.
Usually nobody will see it cept the admins anyways. Anyways,
I like this super club idea ^_^ AC should consider it.
-KL
Comment by Kappa Lizzy — October 22, 2008 @ 2:44 pm
I like the word club better than the word cult. How about The Official Kappa Racer Delivery Super Fans Club (T.O.K.R.D.S.F.C.)? I love the whole idea in general.
Even if that’s true, I don’t want people I really don’t know e-mailing me. I like this format. I’ve been blogging here for a long time. I’ve changed my name, so if you go back and see Kappa Mika or Misaki or something like that, that was me.
Comment by anime_racer_girl_97 — October 23, 2008 @ 2:23 pm
yeah i agree with racer girl. i don’t want my e-mail to end up somewhere like brazil or something.
so, as our first act of the T.O.K.R.D.S.F.C, we need a leader.
and i love the fact that racer girl threw in the word “official”. that just sounds better. (in the words of stan, “sounds good to me!”)
Comment by rex — October 24, 2008 @ 5:00 pm
Hey there I recall Kappa Mika! Well I love the name. LOL There’s a club to join
I’m in. Since you made the Racer Girl, your vice president or founder something like that.
-KL
Comment by Kappa Lizzy — October 26, 2008 @ 12:37 am
lol I find this so funny that we went from the animation festival to speed racer/three delivery to e-mails.
Comment by dolphinfinvollo — October 26, 2008 @ 3:11 pm
I think Rex should be president. She sounds so leader like. I don’t know about me being vice president. This club, in the word r words of Conor, is “AWESOME!”
Yes, I was Kappa Mika. I remember, Liz, that you got “mad” at me because I said I didn’t like Mikey or something. Anywa, that was a long time ago.
Comment by anime_racer_girl_97 — October 27, 2008 @ 4:45 pm
yeah, we got completly off topic, but who cares!
and i execept the vice president job. KL should be the leader because this site is her turf. she welcomed all us racers, so we owe her that much. plus she has her own sites, so she knows how to keep a fan club under control. i’m her second in comand. followed by anime-racer-girl-97 as third. together, we are the…
T.O.K.R.D.S.F.C! (or K.R.D for short.)
Comment by rex — October 27, 2008 @ 4:57 pm
O_o well going back to Kappa Mikey for a moment here. Kappa Mikey has been SHOVED to late nights. And stupid things like the Comedy Block seem to air everything but Kappa Mikey. Spongebob, Jimmy Neutron and Fairly Odd Parents who hog and own regular Nick are now taking over & hogging all the timeslots on NN.
So what the Kappa is up with that? If I wanted to see SB or something I’d watch Nick. But the whole point of NN was to watch Nicktoon shows NOT Spongebob. So I’m not too happy, about any of this. Dunno who needs to be talked to but whoever at NN programming decided that regular Nick shows should own NN too & steal all the timeslots needs to be dragged into the street……..
Don’t mess with the KM fans, >_<
Comment by Kappa Lizzy — October 27, 2008 @ 5:19 pm
don’t worry about that. NN is airing “who’s afriad of the dark” until holloween comes. then kappa gets it’s slot back. if not…
PROTEST! i’ve spend too many nights watching that show to give up on it now!
for now, SRTNG and TD are safe on friday nights. but remember back when kappa mikey was new, and it aired only on saturdays? one of these days, NN will do the same with both shows.
Comment by rex — October 28, 2008 @ 5:17 pm
and NN should remove SB and JN off the network. that’s why we have nick! all the shows that don’t meet NN’s high standered go to nick. not the other way around as most people believe.
Comment by rex — October 28, 2008 @ 5:22 pm
OMG! you are sooo right Kappa Lizzy! I cant stay up ’till midnight just to watch KM! I mean, i love the show, but we all have school the next day! And I totally agree with your comment on watching nick for shows like spongebob. I like that Nicktoon’s Network shows old Nick shows, but sometimes they go a little overboard with it.
Power to the Kappa’s!
Comment by dolphinfinvollo — October 28, 2008 @ 5:46 pm
O.K, now that I think about it, Liz should really be the President. I don’t want anything to do with leading, well, because I’m not much of leader. I’ll just stick to making up ideas. Rex should be vice president. You two are a lot cooler and more leader like than me. No, I don’t have problem with be encouraging to myself, but I’m not the leader type.
O.K., back to kappa mikey, I really do NOT like those fairies and that genius that is actually not very smart. Spongebob is made for nick, not NN.
Yeah, do not mess with us fans!!!!
Comment by anime_racer_girl_97 — October 28, 2008 @ 7:55 pm
^_^ Wow *wipes tears* That is so sweeeet of you guys! ^_^ And naw anime racer I never try to get mad , but I like to encourage peeps to give Mikey a 2nd chance or a fair chance. *nods*
K.R.D. CUTE!!!
Hey anyone thought of dressing up as their favorite character? I gots my best friend & assistant to the KM sites with me dressing up as Kappa Mikey soon. *CHEERS* I am so happy!! ^_^
-KL
Comment by Kappa Lizzy — October 28, 2008 @ 9:09 pm
All I can say is NN better move SN,JM & FOP back to Nick. Since Nick took off Kappa Mikey to make more room for, SB. Then NN should not be showing SB at all.
Sorry but when SB comes on ALL day on 2 networks ,plus MTV why the kappa should it be also on NN? That’s pure obsession Nick and it seems your telling US what to watch & also looks to be that Nick wants not only Kappa Mikey to lose rating & fail, but Three Delivery & Speed Racer too so that way they can make excuses and say, “Oh well Kappa Mikey failed due to bad rating.”
Pfttt forget that. I give NN a 2nd chance but either way, the fans need to wrk somehow ,someway. But I don’t suggest flooding this blog with, “I want Kappa Mikey, back on Nick & on better timeslots on NN” 50,000 times.
Or maybe it is an idea. No. Bad idea, stick with what we are already doing.

Comment by Kappa Lizzy — October 29, 2008 @ 1:49 pm
You know, I almost would dress up as a girl version of Speed, but my mom wouldn’t let me. I’m about one half way there, though. I have that same color jeans and black and white sneakers. All I need is the shirt. I might eventually dress up as Mikey, but it might take some time.
So, Kappa Lizzy, do you except the job of being President of our club? *giggles* that was official, but what do you say. Oh, what do you think, Rex, about you new roll as vice president? That’s so fun to say.
Comment by anime_racer_girl_97 — October 29, 2008 @ 6:12 pm
Hey Kappa Lizzy, did you make your Kappa Mikey Halloween costumes, or did you buy it online or at a store?
Comment by dolphinfinvollo — October 29, 2008 @ 6:39 pm
well, the problem with dressing up as a favorite character is that they all dress normal. last year, i tried to go as kappa mikey, but everyone thought i was superman or something. i got my little cousin dressing up as connor. (don’t ask) man he looked soooooo funny! i took a million pictures! and i got my dog looking like chim chim! i’m trying to figure out what i can dress up as.
and guys, i was whatching TNG the other day and i noticed something. did any of you notice mikey’s normal outfit is almost identical to speed’s? (speed’s shirt has red stars and mikey’s didn’t) cool huh!?
Comment by rex — October 30, 2008 @ 8:36 am
^-^ of course I accept!
As for my KL costume was made by a tailor.I have a new version coming soon. It will look more like Mikey’s. And Anime Racer don’t worry about what mom says, my mom thought it was weird that I dressed up as a girl Kappa Mikey and YES I get called Wonder Woman, or Supergirl alot buuuuut if rex was called Superman then that’s a good thing.
Remember Sups had Supergirl like Bats had Batgirl, so why not have Kappa Mikey have Kappa Lizzy? ^_^
I say if you have fun dressing up in costume as your fav character, go for it!
-KL
Comment by Kappa Lizzy — October 30, 2008 @ 3:51 pm
Rex,
You know at New York Comic Con I saw a guy dressed as Speed. Perfect head to toe too. ^_^ Now if you dressed up as Kappa Mikey, I HAD to see that. Course I can’t promise I won’t hug you suuuuper tight or attempt to kidnap you & take you home. But I will be on my best behavior.
Hey if you can make it out to 1 of these conventions, I love to see you! am sure AC would too.
Comment by Kappa Lizzy — October 30, 2008 @ 7:22 pm
ok anime-racer-girl, heres my vow as the vice president job. here it is:
as a proud member of T.O.K.R.D.S.F.C (the offical kappa racer delivery super fan club) i promice to be a great vice president to presdent Kappa Lizzy (also known as kappa #1) i will be a second in command and am willing to except any drama to come with it.
kappa lizzy (of the kappa m party) and I (of the s. racer party) plus Anime-Racer-Girl-97 (of the “i’m a fan of all the shows so don’t make me pick” party) are hindsforth the rulers and founders of T.O.K.R.D.S.F.C
sorry, just had to say that~
Comment by rex — October 30, 2008 @ 7:43 pm
Booyahhh *points to clip* And guess who runs the panel? your kappa president kheerleader princess,me Kappa Lizzy *grin*
http://www.nekocon.com/panel_list.php
anyways, I was thinking anyone going to conventions?
Comment by Kappa Lizzy — October 31, 2008 @ 12:40 am
ok, figured it out. i found a pair of my dads old coveralls. got some of my old red tennis shoes and i’m going as lucy! oh (and to make me seem more like a dork) i got got my mom to stitch on some logos onto it. and of course the suit needed to be cut to make it fit. (we broke 5 pairs of sisors) and bingo! one lucy costume!
this is the third year in a row i’ve been one of my favorite characters.
age 10- went as gonard (2006)
age 11- went as kappa mikey (2007)
age 12- going as lucy. (2008)
yea the gonard costume was pretty cool. i altered one of my mom’s old handbags and made a one of a kind:
sandwich candy carring device. and that’s where i got the shoes for the lucy costume this year
of corse my kappa costume was really just a superman costume with the logo ripped off. and it has a “M” on it which my mom stiched on. and a cape (of course) but i had one of those water guns and passed it off as a laser.
