Milan Ray as Rochelle, the catcher who is having a bad day when everything goes wrong. Despite this, she is the excellent student who takes the initiative in everything in her life. The character is described as a “teenage CEO”.[3]


sorry and life, “rivals edition.” or “selling same bad old game at same price but with less stuff in the box edition.”

games like this are already extra stressful and boring when played with fewer people, particularly if one of them is a small child who can feel particularly targeted in a game like “sorry” where the primary choice a player ever encounters is “which other player’s piece do i banish from the board,” and I can’t exactly fathom adults in 2024 playing this game otherwise, unless they are using such mind-altering substances that ANY bad game would entertain them as much, why emphasize that? the same reason as always, to make more money for less value at the expense of non-cheaters.


monopoly cheaters edition. regular monopoly is already cheaters edition. i suppose this is a millennial-targeted concept. we can’t put a joke in a movie without some character or the background music pointing out that it is a joke, probably while saying “dude,” so we can’t cheat without pointing out that we’re cheating either. dude. I just took $500 when i wasn’t supposed to because the rules said i was supposed to. I do appreciate not swapping out the 19th century tycoon character Uncle Pennybags with another figure Hasbro determined less in need of having its image protected, as historically prior to the modern era of near-trillionaires and companies like hasbro trying to replace artists with robots trained to copy artists, nobody cheated more prolifically than Pennybags’ monopilkmen.

Although it is arguable whether the decision to replace his dot eyes with detailed retina-iris-pupil eyes while still leaving his hairless plastic mustache, nostrilless nose and nailless fingers was intended to make him creepier.
also observe the $35 price label; this costs more than twice as much as regular monopoly! Hasbro cheats consumers in exchange for the right to perpetuate cheatitude with only themselves as victims.

in fact there is a “bonus” version that costs nearly double that apparently just gets extra money and tokens. or you can buy a cheap regular or cheaper used monopoly game, assuming you don’t already have one in your house, and plunder resources from that. And you’ll STILL in the end just have a depressing board game that is too complicated if played properly according to the rules, much less cheated properly according to the rules, for the target audience to have any fun with.

ALSO:


it felt improper to accuse the sorry rivals edition of costing the same as the regular game. i looked it up on amazon and found that selling regular sorry for one dollar LESS than the real store.

with even creepier eyes.
but more alarming, an ADDITIONAL “rivals edition” of monopoly. which admittedly DOES cost less than the regular monopoly than the regular monopoly on amazon, but only by one dollar. Additionally amazon is an even wickeder company than hasbro and has much bigger-picture access to ripoff victims than relatively well-off american consumers.

if these people have such empty lives that they buy every version of monopoly and obsessively “vote” on the few unnecessary changes hasbro allows to be voted on, including to revert previous vote-changes, despite hasbro ALSO selling

and charging double for “vintage” versions that presumably don’t have those changes taken into account to begin with, except subtler ones that buyers aren’t told about for the sake of political correctness and the latest corporate ownership labeling, content nobody cares about the irony of Monopoly producer Parker Brothers and its biggest competitor Milton Bradley now being owned and disacknowledged by the same larger company but it ultimately doesn’t matter because it’s dumb old MONOPOLY and if you REALLy want to play an unchanged old version you can probably get one for $2 at a local yard sale, maybe they deserve to have empty bank accounts too.

Lode Runner Twin – Justy to Liberty no Daibouken (J)


in its 1993 release Liberty or Death, the computer game company Koei recognized that preserving the essence of Banastre Tarleton’s stupid hat was a crucial priority, above even getting his nose and eyebrows correct.

Why is this no longer deemed important three decades later? What were our founding fathers and uncovering uncles fighting for if not freedom from foolish haberdashery? I bet kids these days aren’t even taught that Benedict Arnold switched sides exclusively so he could wear a sillier uniform. I also wasn’t taught that but I was in special education so I wasn’t taught anything else either

apart from “the length of this bus puts you at the bottom of even the dumbest and wimpiest of adult baby social hierarchies for the rest of your life,” which is what made it so important for me to determine the facts on my own.

Please, let me explain why I cannot enhance your clothes.


I got/was allowed to get this cereal one time. I remember not being able to tell the difference between the two sides. Even description-wise I am not totally certain how berry isn’t fruity. Maybe it is just describing mario’s pose.

What I did not know until now was that it had multiple box designs. I wonder what is going on with the weird KICKING Link figure which Ralston kept recycling; it shows much less awareness of what link looks like in-game, or in anywhere, than the first box’s. The geru serpent and scenery in the zelda 2 boxes are accurate, and presumably weren’t part of the original plan, so why didn’t they draw a new Link, too?
only one of the marios is recycled.

i notice the marios somewhat resemble the ones from the “super mario world” bootleg of a bootleg sega genesis “super mario world,” possibly due to their consistent lack of necks

There isn’t anything to retroactively explain this link, though. In breath of the wild he can do all sorts of things he couldn’t in the past but kicking still isn’t among them. Is he auditioning to be a rockette? He would never pass the rigorous auditions, isn’t tall enough anyway, and he’d probably get better pay continuing to scavenge for rupees people dropped in tall grass. Maybe he accidentally glued his boot to his shield. Which would be pretty pathetic. I assume considering that and weeping is what Tears of the Kingdom is about.

Typically, this sort of film is an earnest tear-jerker with moments of levity. Instead, what we have here is a raucous rib-tickler with occasional pauses for a little dramatic relief


I am fascinated by Earnest Evans. I have been on the internet so long that I have developed aversions to other people’s hive mentality about what “retro” games are “good” and “not good” and worth hoarding the original ephemera for and trying to impress your grandchildren with.
or even simply stating awareness of an old game as a point of your religion,

and it wears on me beyond reason.
Evans is hilarious to me, but since I never knew of it before I saw internet folk mocking it, I have worried that me thinking it was funny was inorganic to me and hypocritical, since I find their cycles of praise and mockery equivalent to what the previous generation of media did with the likes of britney spears.
However basic taste isn’t necessarily any individual’s fault. And also the judgement toward me tends to not be as harsh as my judgement toward others or myself, because while a lot of people think dumb things are important I generally think different dumb things are important.



However I refreshed myself with it and despite its interesting programming it still feels fairly irredeemable. Even save state cheating I apparently couldn’t get anywhere years ago, and trying it now* I still couldn’t.
*in september
but the important thing is I had an excuse to post that image I started with and also this stupid gif, since initially I made it after dwelling on my declaration of evans as “horrible” in response to arguably more worthless content on the twittor website. I give far too much effort to the crafting of remarks and imagery that nobody will see on there. I would much rather nobody see it here, where I can actually find it later.

And where I don’t risk losing followers for saying “obsequious mario fans aren’t just scum but also extremely boring” because the I don’t have followers here, and in fact the concept doesn’t even exist. But the real question, is it possible to be an obsequious fan of anything without also being scum and boring? probably not but that is what I get videos shoved at me about, generally. I should be glad their idiot fandom economy is largely created by them rather than the entirely corporate papacy that exploits obsequious american football fans or the crypto currency criminal pseudo-psience-pselling aspiring murderers who exploit obsequious mixed martial arts fans, but I don’t know any of them on twitter now that my brother is banned again. He also moved into my basement yesterday so I suppose I will know if he sees this.

In a Breton legend, Mark of Cornwall is also the king of Cornouaille, where, one day, he hunted a doe before discovering she was, actually, the princess Dahut.

Sheeran was exonerated for copyright infringement, or something of that nature, supposedly. I certainly hope so, I can’t fathom that he heard songs this bad and decided THESE are what I will lie about having made.
But that is fine if YOU like them, if you actually bothered to read any of this. You are real to me and i appreciate you for that.

JOHN LEGEND

AN EVENING

WITH

A NIGHT
OF SONGS AND STORIES

when I saw this last week my eyes rolled so hard i almost went off the road. It is trying so hard to seem folksy and humble that it is obviously neither. he gives his stage name as “legend” for fleep’s beep. yet he isn’t creative enough to not be john.

I went to the website for foxwhoops (the casino at which this event is to occur) trying to find a picture of the billboard since, at that time, I thought it would be unsafe to take a photograph while driving, and later realized it was just ineffectual. but THAT says


JOHN LEGEND
AN EVENING WITH JOHN LEGEND
which comes across as somewhat less pretentious, if redundant.
However it shows the same “humble piano player with back to viewer in monochrome” photograph, and makes sure I know how many egots he won. and also that he is the first African American Man to win one

obviously I am not in the target audience, since even with Johnny Leg’s disco graphy in front of me, I don’t recognize any songs. That may even be in his favor to a degree but I still don’t want to pay twenty four thousand dollars or less for the right to hear them in person.

it reminded me of when I ended up on a terrible “screenrant” page last week

“the room is terrible” says conan o’brien
what a vague bizarre headline. it tricked me. it was designed to trick people and shove ads at them, not inform or entertain them. i disapprove of that business model. then the content of the story is like:

conan o’brien, the iconic, award-winning talk show host, sat down with the iconic, award-winning musician ed sheeran to discuss the iconic, award-winning cartoon series the simpsons

the simpsons, the iconic, award-winning cartoon series, has had many writers over the years, such as the iconic, award-winning talkshow host conan o’brien, who sat down with iconic, award-winning musician ed sheeran recently.

ed sheeran, the iconic, award-winning musician, recently sat down with the iconic, award-winning talkshow host conan o’brien and turned the tables on the iconic, award-winning talk show host to ask a question about the iconic, award-winning animated series “the simpsons.”

the phrase “award winning” instantly turns me into a skeptic if I wasn’t already. It is very much a phrase for marketing and for bad writers to fill space with. Do you have nothing to say? Just verbally lick the hindquarters of celebrities and list off their awards and other celebrities they have met, and you’ll have six intellectually barren paragraphs to surround your one scrap of new frivolous information in doh time. I even like Conan and have taken inspiration from him in some ways but I know from direct experience of hearing an offensively low effort generic bad song, looking it up out of pure anger and learning Sheeran was responsible, multiple times, that Ed is aggressively talentless.


breaking news: marginally talented irritating charlatans have a vested interest in keeping each other’s gravy trains going
I might become a “flat earth” adherent just to protest this piece of global news.

Everything about this guy has the aim of conditioning people to accept and pay for mediocrity. In 2019 in a london tube station I saw an enormous poster presented in this exact manner, presumably regarding the same product, but I did not photograph it since I didn’t want to seem as if i approved. also i was following nine other people, hauling excessive quantities of baggage and likely holding somebody else’s coffee cup and/or water bottle with the hand that should have been free and definitely wasn’t going to hold everyone up for dumb old ed sheeran when he doesn’t even care.
Why doesn’t he? And why should thousands of people trying to get to their trains have to be told that he doesn’t care? What he DOES care about is getting his name and the name of his mediocre cronies listed as frequently as possible.
He cares so little that he just “drops” shoddy songs and expects me to pick them up. I appreciate him linking himself to bruno mars though since the last time I heard a bad sheeran song in the supermarket I assumed Mars was responsible and only when seeking proof learned it was sheeran. it is extraordinary that I can see photographs of them beside a supposed musician wearing a cowboy hat and I complain about them instead. I assume the headline has been truncated and he doesn’t simply have the stage name “Chris,” but I am not angry enough at him to look it up.

I can appreciate that Mr. Legend can play a pianoforte instrument. I do not know if he does that especially well but there is definitely POTENTIAL there that Ed’s brand of bland unaccompanied acoustic guitar sappy moaning lacks. My Sheeran references happen to be several years old since it was precisely encountering songs like his that extra-emphasized the need for me to carry earphones in my personal satchel at all times. even if I do not take the satchel out of the house for a few days and need the ear phones for other tasks, I always store them in the bag because when I DO go to a place where I am at risk of hearing those songs, I WILL bring the bag, and if the ear phones fail to be in it I will quite lose my mind when struck by unblockable audio awfulness in public. It happened this summer with the beyonk “halo” song and that was hopefully enough to scare me straight for another few years. That and Sheeran’s too cohOOold outside crumbling like pASTEries are absolutely the worst songs I have ever heard that I remember right this moment. But Sheeran is a man with white celtic lineage similar to my own so there is no cultural or social “privilege” anyone can accuse me of having benefat from that he didn’t also so I feel more confident in declaring that he is absolutely horrible and without merit. Also Beyonce can dance or could at one point in her career. I don’t think I’ve seen a picture of Sheeran verifiably standing up.


look at that smirk. why stop with one cut?


hey guys we’re all unblemished rich privileged chums who get paid to be lazy together and call ourselves beautiful. I hope everyone involved with this dies immediately. But I know they didn’t because I saved this picture in January 2021 and I know at least Sheeran is still alive since the screenrant article that mentioned him was from more recently. It also didn’t mention him being permanently scarred by a sword attack so I assume that didn’t amount to anything either.
in retrospect I think he had no involvement with this but the convention of listing as many singers who need their faces looked as possible in the title confounded me initially. I only see two in the picture so the other two in the title are there for name-drop purposes foremost. And also perhaps so you don’t assume it is the beautiful people marilyn manson song, even though I would be more likely to listen to it if I thought it was the case that these ai-generated-looking forklogans were covering that raspy absurdity than whatever low energy misery Ed approved of, assuming “Khalid” didn’t bring anything new to that table, and really Sheeran has no financial incentive to allow that and I have no auditory incentive to consider that he might have. It might haven taken less time to check the song than to explain why I did not, but I would then be at risk of remembering it which I prefer to reserve the right not to. Good night!


I presume accidentally getting cut by nighto is even more embarrassing.

Because that fabled “veil between worlds” is thin at Halloween, I fancifully imagine that perhaps Mr. Thompson’s thoughts are being propelled to us clearly at this time for a reason. We are close an election in the USA, an election pivotal to the future of both this country, and by extension, the world. When considering whether to vote or not, it might behove us to ask ourselves, “Are we human or are we dancer?”

generally I am disinterested in decorating but halloween suits the awkward old toys that tend to accumulate here fairly well.










There were also some proper decorations but I did not take any decent pictures of those.

however I have a shot of this rotting pumpkin that my niece carved or assisted in carving. she had kicked it off the front steps to get rid of it on account of its recent mold harboring but I thought that made it eligible for an upgrade to the front of the walkway.

the kermit is debatably creepier without the mask but that would not fit on most of the display candidates

The potato is a versatile vegetable that will serve you well if you treat it right


Another scrap of beet beast animation. I believe I am more than half done with this creature and after that theoretically progress could be if not faster at least more linear, with fewer multi-layer characters using multi-layer furniture that they are both in front of and behind. This seems a bit out of synchronization with the audio. as long it is out of synch consistently, moving it back in is simply a matter of dragging rectangles on a grid. the bootleg sony vegas that I use for video assembling –crucial, since the flash video data is presently in four different files, and two just for this part– tends to stutter at the start of clips so it is hard to match video to audio with precision without a few tries.
HM and that black spot in the center I thought was on my screen when I first noticed it a few minutes ago but evidently it is in the video! I wonder when it appeared. I hope it doesn’t mean what it does in Treasure Island, that pirates are coming to murder me, because I don’t want to die with my bedroom so untidy.

This is a young adult comedy, peppered with drama, and doused in squid ink.



gosh what a monster


and I can hardly comprehend what an anti-semite my nine year old niece must be to own TWO of these.

for context I have never bought into the media cult around Thunberg, but rallying people against greed and corruption is ultimately doing something good. So when someone else looks at that work, ignores the actual message and evidence and seeks only what nits can be picked from it in order to dismiss it, I am disinclined to give their remarks much weight. Ha HA! An OCTOPUS which doesn’t resemble this in the slightest was used to discredit jews a long time ago! Therefore climate change is a hoax and one government which has Jews in it deserves to claim whatever territory it wants any way that it wants for all time. And if that comes from the same person who always says after a mass shooting is “too soon” to talk about gun control,

You can say that we need to consider that Hamas struck first, cruelly, without regard for the most basic human decency, but that doesn’t justify indiscriminately eradicating the population kept in the same scrap of land as Hamas as revenge. And this isn’t the first time for this unbalanced revenge. This conflict did not START two weeks ago. This is the same Gaza whose notorious stripping constantly dominated news I didn’t pay attention to growing up. No, the people who started it are all dead and we ought to be able to do better than to continue it forever, cheering for whichever “side” we were born into to “win,” like it’s championship figure skating or badminton.

when he says “both countries,” he means Israel and the US. He and the Israel government doesn’t consider Palestine to be a country and will do and say nothing in support of it becoming one, because that would require both admitting any level of fault in its policies and also ceding territory it claimed unjustifiably, which “both countries” here never do.

A criticism I see of Israel criticizers is that they don’t condemn Hamas. My initial thinking was, it isn’t necessary to condemn hamas, it was widely condemned immediately. The first and easiest reaction is to condemn hamas. But I also know there are people out there, too many in my own family, who believe in “the deep state” and will gladly tell you the evils of “the Rothschilds” and all that involves. So just to be clear, I now today condemn hamas, I curse hamas, I sneer at hamas. You can’t cure systemic oppression by beheading and raping people who have nothing to with it any more than you can cure a headache by punching someone who doesn’t appear to have a headache over your frustration at being unjustly denied ibuprofen.
Hamas has been funded by crypto currency since 2019. That alone is reason enough to shut it down.


this continuing text goes around in circles. I could cut it off here but I want to know it is SOMEWHERE even if it is repetitive. I put something roughly equivalent into facebook but evidently that was inadequate to getting me over it. There were no reactions whatsoever to it, even critical ones, which made me suspect the facebook machine simply hid my remarks since I mentioned a divisive topic but without being particularly inflammatory despite the large quantity of words used, so eventually it all came out of me again.

An irony with the gripe against Thunberg is that by insisting that someone who criticizes Israel must be attacking jews in general, it is you who makes the association, the same way someone who attacks jews in the US might accuse them of being agents for Israel just by the basis of their religion. That is absurd, and that would happen even without the stupid cephalopod there.
It needs to be possible to consider one separately from the other. Just as it is necessarily to consider people in Israel, many of whom are not Jews at all, separate from the government of that country, whose actions are not approved of by a staggering amount of those people. Not being able to differentiate these groups, or not caring to, is a big part of how these stupid conflicts get so intractable. so many ignorant belligerents live for nothing more than symbolic revenge against what they consider to be representatives of what has actually wronged them. The bosses who order soldiers into war are not harmed by nasty guerrilla attacks on civilians perceived to be symbolic of the bosses, and instead the bosses gain more leverage for their own bigger symbolic re-revenge.

Personally, I think the entire area should be vacated. That will never happen. Muslims, Christians and Jews all consider that “the holy land” and their least rational behaviors can always be traced back to ludicrous scriptural notions. A harmonious world will never be achieved when men with guns think god or gods told them they are right. And it’s usually men because god is usually also telling them to dominate and punish women much as they do heathen men. The Chinese communists ostensibly eschew religion but the government acts in a way that is consistent with one directed by religion.

The US had its own big terrorist attack in 2001 that you might have heard of, and also like Israel ignored reports it received that such an attack was coming. In fact the US just spent two decades trying to get revenge for that, and that made everything worse (though deliberately confounding the facts so George W Bush could cram in his own bonus revenge against Saddam Hussein did not help), and now the US is supporting another country trying to do the same, but with more volatile potential consequences. Stupid stupid stupid.
As much as idiots who voted for him may have WISHED for it, Bush was never going to and lacked the authority to blast Iraq off the map, even while that war killed hundreds of thousands of civilians. The Benji Netanyahu gang on the other appendage have a much smaller target entirely within their country’s border and are entirely capable of killing everybody in Gaza and have tried to sell that as an admirable outcome. That’s not good! Even if it ended there it wouldn’t be good but it won’t possibly end there. These wars cannot be “won.” And if they inexplicably destroy just Hamas it won’t end there either since they’ve already ensured the next generation of revenge-seekers whose existence they will use as justification for more oppression. It’s too late to stop this one. But it might not be too late to prevent the next one.
A sickeningly common right wing mantra after mass shootings is that it is “too soon” to talk about gun control. But they were disingenuous and meant to never talk about gun control and just hoped for another topic to come up, and sure enough we never talked about gun control. Now we have mass shootings every week now, meaning it is perpetually “too soon” after one. But it is never too soon for them to talk about gun USAGE.

I am glad to see more people unafraid to stand up to that thinking but I worry it might be too late.
Israel’s treatment of its own citizens, notably women, is superior to many of the countries in that region, and plenty outside of that region. I don’t see stories about Izzy trying to kidnap travelers at airports and as far as I know it is not punishable by death to renounce the state religion. But that is stuff NO country should be doing, so being better than them is not enough.

Hamas is a terrorist organization, and we condemn it. So regarding it as we do, we ought to hold ourselves to a higher standard than them, not merely exterminate them whichever way its fastest and say it’s done. Nothing is ever “done” just because a loud person declares it is.

This website entry probably isn’t even done, but I am trying to be quiet about it.

A supporter of Bangladeshi PM Sheikh Hasina threatened to sue a cinema over a spelling error that inadvertently suggested she had a “tail”.

I wrote title tags for all of these but not alt text
I tried to play Treasure of the Rudra no Hihou back in 2006 and didn’t find it very interesting, but now watching youtubes of other people playing it I am overcome with a strong interest in acquiring and eating apple crisp
a lot of stuff about the game doesn’t make sense and I don’t know what senselessness is due to the original Japanese game’s script and what is due to the english translation being unofficially translated from another unofficial FRENCH translation of the Japanese.

I do know that the only rudra to not have attempted to exterminate a race is the one wearing a klan hood.


you say that the same way you’d say “my dad owns an electric weed trimmer.”

that old thing? I sold it at a tag sale a few years ago


I am not sure what to make of these sicko lizards who carry around boots formed from the skin of their own slaughtered ilk that they don’t even wear.
This game tries to talk big about harmony among the “races,” but in the end decides “eh humans are actually the best race.” I don’t have the energy to find more screenshots to prove that and worry I will want to change that dumb video again –I already remembered today how funny it looks when the heroes turn around casually walk away from battle when told to flee– and I don’t want to make a third post about dumb old rudra: the home game. But the important matter is that lizards are scum.


any lizard that is agreeable is an exception and they are still “lizard”s and not people.

one of the most powerful monster attacks is to fire a beam made of flying lizards with scythes out of your nose


All the hero characters have ostentatious multi-piece sprite movements whenever you tell them to do things, including a breakdancing mermaid and two temporary characters that only stick around for about ten minutes and an hour respectively, except the one lizard present for 90% of scenario 3 who has roughly animated single-piece sprites. Even the outwardly evil lizards have smoother animation. I don’t have a gif of those because I do not tolerate evil deeds on my web page. This minimally animated lizard enters into the plot by stealing the ONLY “revive herb” left in the world to try and revive an evil lizard rudra that will destroy everything except for lizards, but then gets stuck in a plant on the way to the rudra’s roost.

pardon me, wrong roots. I don’t know how this came up when I was talking about a race story.

What a loser! When that evil lizard gets revived anyway it’s pretty much the wimpiest rudra story-wise and it simply blinks out of existence without any last words or threats that it isn’t actually dead and will be back.

And characters in this game are often uncertain themselves whether things that disappear in front of them have perished or simply gone somewhere else.
Abilijer is also a rudra. It is actually easier to beat than the lizard but it turns to stone instead of vanishing, and needs to be refought again later. The second time it at least talks trash, and THEN disappears, and this dork Legin who wears a pink jester hat at all times and has seen 4000 monsters before this one, including the reptile rudra, be erased from existence in a manner that defies the Conservation of Mass physics law only at this point thinks it strange. Which isn’t the lizard’s fault but I would think more highly of it were that the case.


goodness gracious I don’t even LIKE this game and look at how much they made me talk about it!

I felt like the update I was writing needed a brief video at the end but it ended up becoming slightly longer so maybe I will post them separately since plainly I am incapable of handling one update per week in these days. Though possibly the lengthening of this video has confounded what I found funny about what it initially focused on.

sometimes that’s the risk you take when you deny a rudra its hihou.

Evil cowboys dressed in black, carrying neon whips appear before Tyler, threatening her; a cowboy hero dressed in white, brandishing a revolver, appears on horseback and the evil cowboys flee on horseback, with the hero in pursuit.


to follow on the topic of southern us commercialism = southern us culture, in Atlanta Georgia immediately adjacent to the ostensibly educational Georgia Aquarium is the “World of Coca Cola,” whose singular goal is to advertise a non-health-contributing beverage at you, one that is sold at literally every vendor in the city, if not the state, and you need to PAY to get in!

I did not go there, but since I went to the aquarium I was near enough to it to see that the price of admission does not get you any complementary product to consume either.

and also a rather incongruous mix of attractions. I wonder if this is a legally mandated community service sort of thing since the drink was invented by John Pemberton, a confederate colonel/snake oil merchant/eye surgeon who owned slaves.


It makes me wonder if the Coca Cola company ever experimented with putting cans of coke into archive footage of revdr Martin Luther Kingjr and Rosa Parks like they did with Fred Astaire and Groucho Marx.

ALSO my angle isn’t: don’t drink coke, it was invented by a slave owner (though “don’t drink coke, it’s liquid candy” is valid); every company that old was started by a slave owner. If pepsi was a decade or so older it would also have been. Slavery is woven into the textile of american history, if not white history as a whole, and human history as a wholer, to paraphrase the hokey sort of person who wants to pretend slavery didn’t happen or benefit them. BUT I can imagine the contemporary owners of the company considering that an image-related problem for them and wanting to make sure they have a defense prepared that they can point at when the topic comes up.

But EARLIER in June I needed to visit a hard wares store. While operating an automobile even. Rather a change from the earlier days of this website. My life has changed but my opinions haven’t. My cousins once insisted that when I was older I would appreciate the Beatles and Bob Dylan also. I don’t, I merely encounter more songs that are worse than theirs. While momentarily stopped at a traffic intersection near the store, I overheard bits of a hokey country-sounding song playing from a neighboring motorist’s vehicle. I thought that was odd, and so was quite surprised when I arrived at the store and the SAME song was playing from the local sound system. The song’s lyrics concerned how “we all have a hill billy bone down deep inside,” essentially trying to say we are all dumb southerners who enjoy songs like this ultimately. Somehow it was released in 2009 and I was never prior aware of its existence. My gripe, though, is it isn’t a hillbilly song. there is no fiddle, no banjo, no jug or washboard. It has electric guitars and studio production. No hillbilly music is getting played on a radio station in Madison Connecticut, if anywhere.


The singers, apparently there are two, aren’t hillbillies either. They are red necks. Hillbillies do stuff for a reason or out of necessity, rednecks just affect the imagery they see from celebrities and/or politicians. If you observe a hillbilly wearing a cowboy hat, chances are that’s just the only kind of hat available, or maybe you’ve even witnessed an actual cowboy. Rednecks vote for Trump, hillbillies don’t trust city folk, if they’re even registered to vote, if they even know an election is happening. Dumb rednecks are dumb by choice because somehow or another that is a status symbol, dumb hillbillies are dumb because their schools are under-funded, if they even have schools. Rednecks collect guns and pose with them on instagram, Hillbillies know that you know they have guns and don’t need to advertise it, and as long as you stay off their land it won’t become an issue. Assuming they still have land and corporations supported by rednecks haven’t cheated them out of it. Rednecks swear they aren’t racist, especially the racist ones. Hillbillies, again, don’t care who thinks they are racist. Rednecks hate queers. Hillbillies think rednecks are queers.

In fact, it isn’t even a redneck song. it sounds more like Black Cat by Janet Jackson in 1990 than anything country or Appalachian. Supposedly Black Cat is “Jackson’s first solo writing credit.” Do you know who wrote the Hillybilly boney song? Two totally different people that aren’t the ones singing it.


it’s about the phoniest garbage I have heard of since a tv commercial advertising “honky tonk badonkadonk,” which I looked up for this post today and BOTH songs are sung by Trace Adkins, who has never had a solo writing credit. Though this apparently was written by a different group of boneheads who sell songs to other boneheads than the song about bones.

pardon me, “bro-heads.” Thankfully I didn’t know about this terminology i 2005, else I might have requested my immediate execution rather than a pardon. The only group phonier and jerkier and more addicted to following orders from unaccountable imbeciles than rednecks are bros.

I don’t get this at all. You don’t want black people in your neighborhoods, your public offices or your precious advertising but you will appropriate vernacular like “badunkadunk” from their dumbest recording artists. Is that just to make it so lame that they don’t want it either? Black rappers stopped saying “bling” so fast that I can’t tell if the scheme worked or if the originators realized it was lame before that happened.


and the “previous single” is called Arlington. Possibly the most deliberately depressing place in the united states, Arlington National Cemetery, and again written by other people, even though the album is titled “songs about me.” Trace Atkins is not buried in Arlington Nat’l Cemetery, and he never will be unless he gets crushed by a meteorite whose path sent it through the fence while he was being chaffeured past the place. Though as I mentioned in a title tag above this I was surprised to learn that Adkins has in fact been fired upon by an enemy combatant and hit, but the aggressor was his second of four wives.
He only has a song that mentions it because redneck is a quasi-relgious identity, where you subjugate women and drink international conglomerate brand beer (provided it isn’t endorsed by anyone gay or trans) and crow about how “rebellious” you are then suddenly are serious and solemn worshiping [the concept of] The Troops on designated federal holidays while picking fights with anyone who isn’t. The only reason we still HAVE troops in 2023 is because bullies and idiots who obey bullies won’t stop picking fights over really stupid issues.
What a phony pandering sack of empty nonsense this goobert is.

he has had seventeen studio albums full of songs about the same three topics, all written by other people, and he wants me to believe he wrote a book? About how free-thinking he is? He’s literally named after copying someone else’s work. I CHECKED, he is credited as a co-writer on ten songs, total, in twenty five years, which admittedly is more than I was expecting, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he did more than make a suggestion, and only the first was released as a single. Since it wasn’t a hit single I guess his writing privileges were revoked. Which is more about the machinations of The Music Industry as a whole than redneckery specifically, but as noted that is inextricable from corporate directives. Nobody is less rebellious than people who need you to know they are rebels.
Even compared to his hill billy co-boning co-singer Blake Shelton Adkins is depressing. Shelton has 16 co-writing credits in 12 albums and even a single solo credit in twenty zero years, and has actually been photographed not wearing a cowboy hat. Unfortunately now I know hard trivia about both of them and may even be able to discern them from each other.

but there are always worse things to know.



June 26, 2023
I am sorry, yes I am, I do not talk to strangers ma’am. You’re part of this giant plot, Please don’t tell me that you’re not


great food if your oxen can ford the river
Maybe I am too accustomed to the stereotyped labeling of the northeast united states and national chains but I can’t help wondering if this Mexican restaurant primarily serves corn meal biscuits and any rabbits you caught en route. Stranger still, it is in Helen, a German-themed tourist town, in north Georgia.
I was there for four days last week. I took thousands of pictures. Some of them weren’t even blurry, but I am too tired to finish this sentence. I also spent two days in Atlanta, the Coca Cola capital of the world, also in Georgia. For once I was in an area where I could reliably trust no place would only have pepsi when I wanted coke, but I just drank water the whole time, and occasionally iced tea.

They don’t have “iced tea” in Georgia either, preferring unpalatable “sweet tea” but that is great once I squeeze four lemon slices into it. And here is a picture of that, apparently. You can tell I was out of my home since the broken android brand mobile device I usually employ in this era is visible here so I must have been using the bigger mechanical digital camera that I bring on long trips, because it takes pictures of the wider variety of supermarkets and public restrooms I visit away from my home much faster and blurrier than any touch-screen device. A drink that isn’t good, at all, “starry.”

I never heard of it before I got to the Laguardia airport; I researched the matter and learned that Sierra Mist sodee pop was discontinued at some point. Then replaced with “mist twist,” then returned, then discontinued again and replaced with this.
Unless it was singularly responsible for the debilitating bladder ache I felt for the next hour before I was free to tend to that, I would say that Starry “hits” exactly the same as every other bland “lemon-lime” drink since 7-up changed its recipe to taste like Sprite in 1998. And even that I didn’t think about until this napkip was already crumpled, on its way out and separated from the actual product it accompanied, hence this being one of the blurry shots I mentioned.
I asked for starry because the drink was “free” and despite flying out of Atlanta and offering coca cola’s horrid Minute Maid “”juice”” brand, the flight only stocked Pepsi-brand non-juices, I wanted to ingest some calories on the flight, but was morally opposed to purchasing food at airport prices.

I had reluctantly reacquainted myself with Minute Maid on the previous week’s incoming flight and imagined I was set for life on that. So what the heck I thought, I will try this thing that it wants me so badly to try. And indeed it was badly.

I would like a proper national brand of this stuff.
That is not Mt. Dew; apart from the garish dye they are fairly dissimilar. For sodas, I mean.
Even the local restaurants that have Foxon Park on tap don’t offer the green flavor. Instead they have “Gassosa,” which tastes like Sprite.

It is frustrating that a company which has a superior citrus drink more heavily emphasizes the one that tastes like a less-good but better-known citrus drink. But that is how capitalism works. Most effort is put into remaking, rebooting, and ripping off stuff that already exists and aren’t great but are proven to generate revenue. But even with that in mind I don’t know why pepsi makes a big fuss over releasing a new soda that is indistinguishable from its old soda.

It’s essentially what McDonalds does with the mcrib sandwiches, getting press every other week when “it’s back” even though nobody seems to notice or care when it leaves. the pepsi company has to design and manufacture new logos and labels (and inadequately sized promotional napkins), and distribute them to every business that was selling sierra mist whenever it does this, if those places even go to the trouble of changing the drink machine labels, nevermind the menus, which makes building name recognition for the rebranded product complicated, since if somebody orders sierra mist off last month’s menu and gets a cup of Starry instead they probably won’t even notice. Unless the server says “sorry, we have starry” and then the buyer has to wonder what starry is and ponder whether to try it. Heapwhile mcdonalds just has to dust off the rip-shaped mold that the meat paste and pork syrup get sprayed into and pull the “mcrib is back!” sign out from under the counter.

Incidootily it is peculiar to me what a hullabaloo mcdonalds made about ‘grimace’s birthday’ last week when the character hasn’t been used in a quarter century and is best known now for appearing in a 1980s ad with Trump. All the mcdonalds characters got revoked because they were designed to represent mcdonalds food (including grimace, though not in my lifetime), which the company needed to be able to insist it was not targeting at children. They could show Ronald McDonald doing “healthy” things like playing basketball or doing his taxes or whatever, since he is at his core just a human who dresses funny. But you can’t rehabilitate the Hamburglar; he exists only to steal hamburgers and Mcdonalds isn’t allowed to put hamburgers into its marketing aimed at kids anymore, even though hamburgers is what it sells. And mcdonalds still has special “meals” specifically FOR kids, which have the same food in them, packed into boxes covered with imagery of OTHER company’s characters in promotion of material that will rot kids’ brains just as much as the food will rot their other organs. Everybody with money is lying, and the regulators all know it, but they don’t have enough funding or resources themselves to care about it. Meatwhile the politicians running on the platform of ostensibly protecting “our kids” get financed by companies like McDonalds and its happy meal cobranders, and want nothing more than to cut funding for regulation further, then seal the deal by appointing their like-minded buddies to all the chief positions. ha, ha haaaaaa

i SUPPOSE pepsi might be planning some longer term scheme, with a massive “Sierra Mist is BACK!” campaign planned for if its pseudonym doesn’t catch on, like when Coca Cola reintroduced “Coke Classic!” after New! Coke flopped in 1985 (which I am not old enough to remember but it was a popular joke topic for years). HOWEVER that only worked because Coca Cola was already the market leader and was just spooked by pepsi’s cola supposedly winning “blind taste test”s, in addition to fears that an alternative Coke would steal market share points from the main coke and might let pepsi claim to be the number one cola just because it didn’t have a second pepsi, unless new coke BECAME the main coke. The fragile egos of billionaires afraid of imaginary numbers were the only factor*. Whereas Sierra Mist was hardly bought by anyone at the time of its most recent supposed removal.
*AND the reason for the flop was the fragile cultural identifies of rednecks who care about marketing too much and mistake brand preference for cultural identity + bullying from complacent attention seeking doofuses who don’t have real problems. They have a lot in common with those now protesting woke. Woke is the new New Coke. I liked old 7-up better than new 7-up or the other drinks it changed itself to be as less-good-as but it truly is not of great importance to me.


anyway I have to go clean out the car since it looks like a hurricane tore off the roof and flooded it while I was away.
