You need to ask?

I'm back from the show and loved it! It was VERY Japanese lol. They had some technical difficulties at a couple of points, but they were easily forgiveable. All of the tech coordination and choreography that went into it...whew. It's easy to see how they got the Gold Buzzer!

@ReaderRagfish I have always liked it to be honest. (Except when they changed it and add fruit flavor to it). Then again my city was a test market for it in the 90s but I liked it. I was happy that they brought it back.

Never played the main series titles, but extraction is a nice rail shooter.

False. Root Beer dates back to at least the 19th century. When it originally began being sold commercially, it was proposed to call it "Root Tea" (as that's essentially what it was; also as the guy who began to distribute it didn't drink alcohol), but the thought was that in order to appeal to a working class market (and men in general), it was dubbed "Root Beer".

There was however a large increase in the consumption and popularity of root beer during Prohibition, but its origins, and that of its name, date back much earlier.

Now I want to play Root Beer Tapper and watch Lawless again. Thanks.

Woohoo! It’s frydae!! And the last one of the month, at that. Throw together my summary reports for executive management then coast through till it’s time to get dinner at IHOP with my best friend. Then...Fortnite.

I have an eye doctor appt. today.... my eyes are gonna look like I'm high for a few fours with the dilation, but at least I'll be getting new glasses for the first time in 3 years!

Yayeah! New glasses rock hard! Can they do the exam without the dilation? I know some insurance policies require you to pay the $30-35 extra, though. Either way, that's pretty awesome, yo.

Funny bit; A few weeks ago, my office mate and I learned by accident that if we work with the ceiling lights off, our assistant presents less questions to us during the day. Now my office mate is out on medical for a month, and the past four days I've left the lights off. I just had to email her about the assistant, stating only "Ice beam no longer effective, subject has adapted to environment. Pray."

Apparently some company is going to purchase land or something where I go to this big flea market/ultimate yard sale and turn it into a scrap yard. If this happens, this might be the final year where I can find stuff & things there : U And just when I managed to haggle something SpongeBob related!

I ate pop tarts

@ReaderRagfish Eating poptarts every day sounds like a really bad idea

It's probably no different from eating a bowl of cereal for breakfast.

I mean, unless you're eating like, a full box of poptarts every morning.

The kind of cereal most kids and young people like to eat.

I don't see a single poptart being much worse than the regular bowl of kid's cereal.

And I'd assume they also sell other varieties of pop tarts that come with less sugar, I've never had any so I don't know much about the product.

Raisin Bran Crunch!! Two scoops, fools!!

All lies!

The pops I get nowadays are by some company called "funko", I bought the Negan one at the very same flea market I was taking about for 5 bucks since I can now just put him with the Tekken pops and call it a day.

Eww it does indeed appear that is of this week magically Amazon no longer has weekend deliveries of any kind and has rolled back 5 years to "2 business days mon through fri" and some itemsSaturday for 7.99 per item, no more mention of sundays.

I wonder if this means they don't use usps at all anymore either? And that means their own delivery trucks no longer run weekends?

How the heck are they going to consolidate 3 days of deliveries into Mondays when half the time they failed to deliver Monday packages on monday as it was? This is insane. They've rolled back to freaking 2012 delivery schedules with 5x more customers and presumably cut out usps entirely.

The infuriating thing is they never announce these things, never allert anyone, just one day everything is different and you have to discover it by simply seeing no options you know, and policy pages update quietly as though they weren't ever changed. Seeeeriouly tempted by walmart.... And it'sa cold day where pigs fly for me to say that

I don't really care about funko pops, but I somehow have 4. Only one of them was bought by me though.

I have two slightly different Doctor Whos (both are the tenth version), a Dalek, and a John Hammond.

I don't really care about them either, they just don't seem to be worth the price when I could put that money towards something better.

...but with that said I have four or five of them, I guess they're an easy gift for someone? They do seem to be sold EVERYWHERE!

I had never even heard of them until the gears of war mobile announcement. I was like ok so i guess this isa thing.

That’s because dried fruit is loaded with sugar. Lots and lots of it.

It’s very unhealthy in general.
