Something I just realized

You know that sbemail where Strong Bad talks about inspiring people? I just realized the sender was asking how to inspire people, and not what Strong Bad does that inspire others. I've watched that one several times and only just now realized that.

Rocko's Modern Life innuendos that don't work

  • Hotline- he's not doing it properly
  • Naked- he's a cartoon wallaby
  • Turn the page, wash your hands- that's just anxiety
  • Chokey Chicken- it's a bad name for a restaurant in the first place

Sorry if I ruined your fun.

Need ideas

Ok, I finished The Lost Bookshop the other night and am looking for something to read next.

  • My favorite genre is dystopian. My favorite book is 1984. I've read it 5 times, Animal Farm 3 times, Brave New World 3 times, and Do Androids Dream twice. I've also read Fahrenheit and Catch-22
  • My favorite author is Jasper Fforde. I've read all of his material, some twice. I'm awaiting his latest work.
  • I also like Bill Bryson, especially his travelogues. I've read most of his books.
  • Books I finished that were hard for me include Watership Down, Stranger in a Strange Land, and Don Quixote. I The Hobbit was an instant rejection.

I discovered a new, Rugrats-related Mandela Effect

Boris: "For your information these were my father's wine glasses. They came all the way from Minsk."
Minka: "Well my mother's wine glasses came all the way from Smolensk, and they don't got spots all over them."

Trying this again because I got autoflagged for having too few words the first time. What pokemon names did you pronounce completely wrong for years?

For me it was suicune. For years I said soo-soon. I have no idea why.

Apparently it's ark-E-us, not R-C-us, I recently learned. It's spelled with a CE. The C should be soft, idiots!

Also, There's chime-cho. I never noticed it was a portmanteau before!

Gyarados I used to pronounce as Gary-dos

Then there's Reggie-Ice

Ampharose (soft S)

I think let's plays should act like a casual walkthrough with some unpredictability. Playing an RPG where you know what will happen next hurts the experience.

The LPer should also be themselves without trying to appeal to the youth demographic.

Fantastic movie for all Mario fans!

As a Nintendo fan for the last 35 years, I must say this was a fantastic movie. Lots of references to Mario games of all generations to relate to all ages. The inclusion of Star Fox was fun. I was expecting to see Prince Tricky on the dinosaur planet. Loved the legacy cameos (ROB, Mr. Game & Watch) as always. Could not figure out whether the paint came from Sunshine, Color Splash, or Splatoon. Loved the Mario Kart 8 reference with the motorcycles. I'm ok with them using stereotypical NYMA accents again for the Brothers. Glad the Toads were given regular voices considering what LPers usually use. I'm not used to Rosalina being a main Nintendo character so I mistook her for Peach dressed like the princess from Frozen. Being a big fan of Thousand Year Door, I can't believe it never occurred to me all these years that the casino was Pianta Parlor, a place run by Mafia types. I loved how they revived Bowser not using Jr's tears, but rather as an endboss phase 2, thus avoiding a cliche. I was so giddy when Yoshi showed up as he is my favorite character. I am so glad he was not voiced aside from his usual sound effects. Another thing I was disappointed about is the fact that they spend almost no time in space, so no interstellar travel. I hope the next Mario movie is Sunshine or a stop motion Paper Mario movie as this movie needs no sequel.

There were these guys who were planning a party. One of them was told it was going to be a surprise party. Once the party had started, they wondered where the guy was. Suddenly, the guy burst in with a bunch of party goods and yelled "Supplies!"
