I was born in '97, I have no idea what you're on about, but I will lend you my help in this search.

I apologize in advance for all the crappy jokes I make.

All I'm finding are references to The Wizard of Oz. Return to Oz being the most frequent.

This is all I could find:

Then there was one based on this story of a little girl who lost her red shoes. so she asked a local wizard for hel (who could appear and disappear anywhere). He helped her, but told her she had to tell her mom. The little girl goes home and doesn't hoping the wizard would forget. But then the musicgets eerie as the narrator says 'But the Wizard...did not, forget.' And we see him appearing and disappearing along the house floors, till he suddenly pops out of her clock and steals her away, demanding to know why she didn't tell her mom. She makes up for it by sewing stars to put in the night sky, and the next day is returned home, and tells her mom the truth.

This post was posted in 2004, and it was about animations that the user had seen on Pinwheel. Could be related, or it could not.
What website did you find this on?

Edit: FOUND IT

Have you tried contacting that Michael W Howe guy?

He may be able to give us more information.

Haven't looked at it properly so I doubts its usefulness but it's all I can find so far.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

I think we've run dry on ideas. We might not find clockman for YEARS, but when we do, it will be the end of what made the Flood one of the most important sites on the interwebz.

Yes. I've researched alot about animatinon in the last 6 days. I believe that type is called "half-animation." I've not really researched Jabberwocky yet, so it'll be worth a look.

I did want to say that I just got home from work and discovered that My Pinwheel DVDs have arrived! It's only 330 minutes, but I'm going to watch every second of them.

I'll post again with details...good or bad.

Ah, the clockman. I have the information you're looking for. I can giv eno links, but I specifically remember him. I always used to think of him as my arch enemy and I looked at every clock in my house. I never ofund him in any of my clocks. I've since grown up and know he isn't real, but my mom does remember me watching that specific skit as you would call it. It apparently took place after two of the characters plus and minus played gotcha last and they skipped right into it. I do remember being somewhat scared at the fact that they put that on a child's show. Hopefully this helps.

  • 01.19.2012 2:48 PM PDT

Also, you mentioned a generous reward if someone helped. Please, if this did help at all, do not feel the need to send me any gifts or anything like that. Suffice it to say a thank you is all I would like.

Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.

Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!

And be quick about it!

Shoot. I had the opportunity to be one of the first replies to this thread. I remember thinking "Eh. It'll go nowhere."




And now the OP is practically famous.

Lol, same here.


I was going to exit out of the Flood but then I was like, eh what the hell, I might as well check the front page one more time before I leave. Then I found this thread, and managed to get in on page 6.

I'm sure glad I didn't exit out on that day!
