I'm old
I was thinking of the cartoon Jem in the 80s whose tagline was "Truly Outrageous!" Yeah, I'm an old fart.

Loved Jem from the 80s! I never really liked Jem for a shortened James. What did their sister Abigail go by?

Abigail was just Abigail. I expected her to be Nabby or something obscure, but nope not even Abby!

Oh..I remember Jem too but Jem on a boy makes me think of Anne of Green gables & To Kill A Mockingbird.

Okay, I'll admit I've only seen the movies of Anne of Green Gables (and LOVED them when I was a kid, watched them all the time with my Mom). I really need to get my hands on the books! I don't remember there being a Jem in the movies, so he must just be in the book. What sort of character is he? I hope he's good because that's just more fuel for me using it!In one of my favorite book series there's a character named Jem, but in his case it's short of Jeremiah.

He is Anne's oldest son and is a good character.

Ohh...I never watched the third/last movie. My mom has it, but for some reason I haven't seen it, but I know that covers when she finally marries Gilbert. Finally.Yay though, good to know! Must read books...

FYI, the third/last movie is not based on the books at all. I love the books, but I pretty much hated the third movie.

Ah, okay! I'm from the cartoon Jem era as well (I'm 35 years old), but it's been a looong time since I've watched it and (obviously) don't remember much from/about it!

I'm 34, and after you mentioned Jem, I remembered her. I must not have watched it that much.

woo-hoo another old timer! I swear I'm the oldest person on here by like 20 years (I'm 38).

I just turned 47. :-)I'm so old I never heard of that cartoon character. I didn't get the snooty reference at all in your original post.
