Place your random thoughts.

The move Bide.....really isn't so bad! Especially if you have Eviolite attached to your good boy or girl, such as my Goomy, Watermelon, who clutched it in a battle with just 1 HP left, then.... WHAM!! Hit the opponent for tons of damage.
 
Haha, same here (still rocking it)! This also reminded me of the time in elementary school when I picked out an oversized pink wolf shirt from Walmart, thinking it would impress my crush. He was one of the popular kids... I have no idea what I was thinking! 🤣
I had a shirt from Justice that said “Give me the chocolate and no one gets hurt.” There was a cute monkey on it, too, to make it less threatening, I guess. 😂

Yeah, it's great if you have it and are using it against an opponent, but it's also the bane of early Pokemon Nuzlockes, lol.... I can't tell you how many times I've been starting up a Nuzlocke at some point and all of a sudden a random Pokemon decides to use Bide of all moves. Either have to take it out quickly, switch to a Ghost type, or flee. It's absolutely devastating if it lands and bam, you have one less partner for your challenge. 😂

(I know a lot of people don't like Nuzlocke challenges, but I personally love them and thought this was worth commenting on)

Oof it really must be! 😅 I don't do Nuzlocke challenges, but I do watch them. You reminded me of the Seedot in RSE and ORAS you encounter early on that has Bide, and could really catch you off guard if you're not paying attention, lol
 
I’ve been told that the guys I like look “scary” and while they are big and intimidating, I wouldn’t want to be with someone with a scary attitude, if that makes sense. A scary-looking dude with a heart of gold. I like the protective but cuddly idea.

I love eBay sometimes. lol
 
I know absolutely nothing about Monster Hunter, but I really like the monster called Mizutsune. I remember getting a badge of it from the 3DS badge arcade, and it lowkey looks out of place with the Super Mario and Animal Crossing and Pokemon badges, but I don't care haha.

just look at it, what a rad dragon dude hehehe

I think you're referring to Bobby Jack, I remember having shirts like that as a kid 😂

edit: I also remember this thing from the early 2000s called "Happy Bunny" and it had the same vibe as Bobby Jack:

I don’t think it was Bobby Jack, as it was a girl monkey with a bow on her head.

But yeah, the Happy Bunny stuff was all over the place back then. 😂 I remember seeing stickers, journals, t-shirts…!
 
Hamtaro makes me blissie because they're hamsters and they're cute but also Hamtaro makes me bluhoo because they're hamsters and they have short life spans.
 
I was wondering when Pringles were first released because I had been snacking on some and was looking at the packaging. It didn't say when it was established, just that it was owned by Kelloggs.

It was released in 1968 by Procter & Gamble in America. I think it was Indiana? In around 2012, it was bought by Kelloggs (well, Kellanova, of which Kelloggs is a branch of). But then Mars bought Kellanova just last year, 2024, so I guess Pringles belong to Mars now, as well as Kelloggs even though the owner is still marked as Kellanova. Also Pringles are sold in around 140 countries and are in the top 5 or 10 of the most popular crisps.

But then I started wondering if they're classed as crisps or not, seeing as they're made from dehydrated potato rather than slices of potato. Turns out there was a whole big fiasco in 1975 where, after a few years of other crisp brands saying they couldn't be counted as actual crisps since they weren't potato slices, the FDA stepped in and made a statement on how they weren't proper crisps or something.

Anyway, it got worse in 2008 when, to try and avoid the crisp tax in, I think the UK (don't quote me on that), Procter and Gamble tried to claim that they were biscuits, since the process of making them is "more akin to making biscuits and cakes than actual potato crisps" (<- not a direct quote). I'd never even heard of pringles being thought of as biscuits until reading up on it a few hours ago. Because they're made from a dehydrated potato dough, the company argued that they should be exempt from the crisp tax because they're basically biscuits. They didn't win that case, as Pringles literally aren't biscuits and everyone agreed.

I'm pretty sure they're classified as "crisps" but not the meaning of "crisps" used in Ireland and Britain, but "crisps" as in they're not "chips" with the American meaning.

TLDR I read up on Pringles and need to get a life 🤓

The guy who created the Pringles chip and packaging also requested to be buried in a Pringles can.
 
Briefly had on horse racing today, and I have to say, these horse names sent me down a rabbit hole. Some included:
Save Us, Melania (why)
Grammy Girl
Blame It on Daddy
Catherine Wheel (would be a good drag name, if you know what it is)
Takethemoneyhoney (Yes, as one word)

I had a dream I was in a horse race last night. But I had the weird name. They decided to register me as “Americana Pox.” It was very weird.
 
A friend of mine accidentally called me Shaw in a text. I accepted it but pointed out "Shaw" is better than my own name because the most annoying guy at work has my same name.

Turns out, she pointed out that Sebastian Shaw is a Marvel villain? I am a comic book geek but don't know that villain. Should I be proud or not, 😆
