Re: A video of great Timportance
Hey, very sorry it took so long for me to see/respond to your message. I've been away for a while (once again) due to certain reasons I've laid out before. Thanks very much for your patients patience.

Well, despite my sneaking suspicion that you linked me that video solely for that curry-ageous(?) Curry smile near the end, I'd say that was a pretty entertaining video. My favorites (and the most cringe-inducing ones for me) are the ones that involved awkward exchanges between employees and unruly customers, especially the "You're a meth head, aren't you?" one. Yikes. However that last one was good for some schadenfreude. Thanks for sharing!

A lot of those retail horror stories actually reminded me of the ones on the subreddit TalesFromRetail, which you can check out if you are so inclined.

Also as a side note, John Heard (the actor who played Kevin's father in the "Home Alone" films) actually passed away a few days ago. It's sad to hear of course, but I figured I'd just mention it as the Tim Curry clip they used in the Walmart video was from Home Alone 2.

I have modified the line to make it clearer to the audience. Here's my improvement:

(The two scurried through the smoke and once they passed through it, they stopped and turned around to look at the building again, wondering why there was so much smoke coming from it.)

So I found this article about the origins of the Graham Cracker on Snopes and it's pretty interesting. I read another artcle that focused on it for about one segment in a top x list, though I don't remember the name of the article.

I remember a movie that was on IMDB a while ago and I recall it having a plot summary that said something like, "This is a shitty movie about a dumb thing." While I don't remember the exact title, I know that it was a knockoff of Pixar's Wall-E.

Piplup the Meteor Magnet
Poor Piplup. Piplup was my starter in Diamond <3

Some servers just expect weird things, maybe she was scheduled to leave and thought she could and would get whatever tip you left? A big no-no for sure. I remember when I was a server at Pizza Hut, I was working with this woman who was at least in her 30's, probably 40's, and she told me that she was going to go after taking a tables drink order (I can't remember if she brought them their drinks or if I did), anyway she left and I waited on the table; brought them their food, refilled their drinks, everything other than seat them. The next day she says to me, "How much did the tip me (her)?" I think it was like $5, but I ended up saying that they left her nothing and she stated that it was odd because they always tipped. Me not being a sixteen year-old now would have still told her that "They left you nothing" and then would have added, "Because you left and I waited on them". I mean, it would have been one thing if she had put in most of or half the work and then had to leave because of an emergency, but yeah, people get weird ideas.

The teacher should have made a point of saying that she/he has finished adding to the blackboard after that happened the first time, that way students would know when they had all the assignments.

Ah, we need rain so badly here. It hasn't rained in over a week and it's been in the nineties and hundreds outside (the other day when I hung out with my friend it was 105) D: I think I very vaguely remember that specific scene. Haha, modern civilization would be in quite the pickle then. Speaking of outages, for some reason my town's electric grid is wired very oddly. I may have told you this story, but a year or two ago, a car wrecked into a stoplight next to one of the elementary schools and it knocked out the entire town's power. Had I not been there, I would have thought that to be an exaggeration because it sounds so ridiculous XD I'll try to catch you again on Friday if I am unable to again later tonight Buckle up!

 * I slept for about 3 and a half hours and so I am up super early. I'm going to hate myself tonight, but at least I have time to get things done today; like actually talk with you :D


 * I'd recommend Sun and Moon over X and Y. I thought the plot in Sun and Moon was really good, the characters memorable, and the new mechanics actually made the series refreshing. I didn't like X and Y that much :\ You might also see about waiting and getting the Nintendo Switch (it's getting a full blown Pokemon RPG either next year or 2019 and is $100-$200 more). Just my opinion tho XD


 * I have no idea if she treated anyone else that way or not. She was only that way toward me on the one occasion and never said anything further about it. Looking back on it, I bet those customers knew her/were her friends. I was getting paid $3.25 an hour if I made so much ($6-something) in tips, so I kinda needed every bit I could get to save up for college at the time - made some good money that way; but like I said, I would have split it with her if she had done more of the work and had an emergency that required her to leave.


 * Yeah. I will! I've been staying inside a lot (so the same as usual). I haven't seen Johnny Bravo in over a decade, so unfortunately I don't remember much of anything other than the names of the characters and what they looked like DX


 * Oh yeah, I used to read those all the time. I also like to occasionally read the Darwin Awards (an award for people who die in ways that anyone with half a functioning brain could have avoided). My favorite was the one where this guy was at a lake or some body of water; in Florida, I believe, and there was a sign that read, "Beware of Alligators". The dude shouted "F*** Gators!" and jumped right in; he got eaten by an alligator within seconds.


 * I remember reading about a president who got shot, I believe it may have been Garfield, who might have actually survived, but the surgeon actually made things worse by using nonsterile tools (sterilization wasn't a thing back then, not his fault there) and moving things around (like the bullet) in the president.


 * I'm so sad that I can't find it now, but their was one surgeon in the 1800's who was just horrible. He killed two people and maimed one (he may have died too, don't remember) during the same surgery. I don't remember what he was treating, but it started with him accidentally cutting off part of his assistant's arm, then the dude he was treating died, and then another guy (can't remember if he was another assistant or just a spectator) died of the belief that his throat had be slashed when the doctor accidentally cut the collar of his shirt/coat. Yes, a guy died from the belief that he had his throat slit. To be fair, the surgeon was racking up quite the kill count in that one surgery. Please let me know if you come across the "surgeons" wikipedia article, would love to reread XD


 * So, the Fate series is getting three new anime this year and two next year. I was looking at the openings for the newer ones and clicked a video that I thought might be a preview for one of them, but turned out to be fanmade (can't complain, weird part of YouTube is funny every now and then). I was wondering, what words do you hear at 1:47:, because I am laughing pretty hard at what I am hearing (loud singing warning). Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular  16:48, July 26, 2017 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I had hopped off and played my PS4 for a little bit and then went on to bed the other day. I need to look over my schedule for my days off this upcoming week and reaffirm what exactly our timezone difference is, I think we miiiight be able to have a few battles sometime this upcoming week.


 * I found a link to a news article about the alligator dinner dude: (ew, Gawker). Okay, so I guess it didn't eat him, so much as bite him until he died.


 * Oh! I wonder how many things I forget and end up repeating to you, especially facts that you have told me XD I'm so forgetful anymore <.< I'm so sad that I can't find a link to the story about that doctor (I just spent thirty minutes googling for it); such a doozy.


 * I hear "Gay horse, gay horse. I want a gay horse." I don't know what's so funny about that to me, I guess just because it is so unexpected. Haha, I found the repeated Boo-yah and the theme catchy. I discovered that the theme song was ripped from 'Haiyore Nyaruko-san﻿', everything else in the video was original and made by one person - I find that impressive.


 * Been writing anything recently? I finally started back up, not that I've done much. I was planning on a sort of writing marathon during my days off, but now I'm planning on spending a bit of that time filling out job applications and seeing if I can't snag an interview with some other company, and some other stuff. But - uh - I'm working on a sequel to Think Happy Thoughts :D


 * I'm going to go for now, but I'll check back in later in the day or tomorrow. Bye! Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular  14:12, July 28, 2017 (UTC)


 * Ah, time zones mess me up so much XD That's not good at all. You know, electronics keep getting more and more necessary in everyday human life; I wonder if the effects on the eyes and increased usage will make it to where all humans have poor eyesight in the future? Okay, that's probably a really good choice. That reminds me that I need to check me email, haven't done that in forever.


 * Yeah, what if someone reads the sign and sees an alligator out there? "Oh no! That poor alligator can't swim!"


 * Haha, that's good. My dad rambles and repeats a lot and I worry that I may have picked up that habit or am in danger of it. Gosh, I need to look back into Planet Dolan, it's been months.


 * Yeah, vaguely. Wow, poor horses :( I've had some interesting suggestions by google over the years, ones that make me question mankind in general XD Really, people search the weirdest things. Although, sometimes that is done on purpose by groups to make google suggest funny things.


 * I'll give it a read and leave a comment on it soonish. I like your stories and haven't read any in quite a while. I still need to finish reading the final Tobit. I had started reading it and got a couple of chapters in, but it's been so long that I should restart, lol. More Raidra stories are always a good thing. It's a surprise for me too at this point :D


 * I have so many ideas right now too. Sometimes I wish I could just think something and have it appear on paper/computer documents. There is a lot of satisfaction that comes from physically writing/typing things though (and carpal tunnel). I hope your nauseous feeling has passed! Buckle up!

 * I meant to try to play Pokemon Showdown with you last week, but I got called in because one of the people on my shift walked out during lunch and didn't come back. Now there are only two of us on night shift. Yesterday was my first day off in six days D:< I don't want to make plans in regards to that yet because I can't really trust the schedule. In other news, my dad ended up losing his job; and I, my health insurance. The other day at work I had a sharp pain in my right side and down the right side of my groin. I finished my shift and went to E.R., it ended up being kidney stones - like I thought it was (wanted to double check it wasn't hernia or something). So I'm dealing with kidney stones now too, but luckily I got to the E.R. on the last day of my health insurance, so there is that. Fun times tho. Just thought I'd stop by and update you about my absences.


 * We will try to play Pokemon Showdown sometime in the future, but things are a bit off the rails right now. Hopefully I get a new job which gives better hours and benefits, and get better soon >.> I'd settle for more free time and a speedy recovery at the moment, lol. I hope all is well with you!

Ah Vanilla Ice. The same guy who brought us such classics like, "Go Ninja! Go Ninja! Go!" and "Drop that zero and get with the hero." I remember the Nostalgia Critic doing a review of the Cool as Ice film way back in 2008 or 2009. I didn't grow up with Vanilla Ice but I do know that one song he did called "Ice Ice Baby". He also appeared in a Mac and Cheese commerical a couple of years ago. I don't know if the commercial was to promote TMNT 2012 shaped noodles or to promote the Micheal Bay TMNT movie.

I think doing movies that are about fads isn't really a good idea because it usually takes a long time to make a movie and the development process might go on for longer than the fad's lifespan. Speaking of that, I recently watched a review by RebelTaxi on a film called Bandz on The Run, which is about a group of Silly Bandz trying to get home. I remember experiencing the Silly Bandz fad when I was in 6th grade and I did have a couple of them myself. However, while I didn't think they were awful, I didn't see why they were fad worthy. As dumb as Fidget Spinners might seem, you can actually do cool things with them like fancy tricks or just spinning them around for hours on end. Well that's something I'd never thought I'd say!

So last night, I made a major decision with Johto Quest. I decided to end the episode with Miki and Kuni's post battle exchange and make the battle with Morty its own episode. You see, episode three is already long enough as it is and I think ending the episode that way makes a lot more sense because the battle with Morty is probably going to be a long episode anyway, though I don't think as long as episode three. Episode 4 will be called, "A Toast to The Ghosts" while Episode 3 will be called, "Challenges" though I might change this if I find a better title. If you want to see the finished version of episode 3, click here!

For the most part, the more timeless you can make something, the longer it will be around. I think this is why a lot of Disney films still stand the test of time. One of the only scenerios where I think fads could be acceptable is in period pieces. For example, a period piece that's set in the mid 1970's features Pet Rocks.

ER MEH GURSH! HOW DURE YOU DECIDE TO TAKE A BREAK SKRUB! In all seriousness though, if you need some time off, feel free to take it. I don't mind. I have other projects I can work on, like Sunny Hill Farms or that project Doom seems to be interested in.

So I recently discovered this new anime made by Mel Brooks. I watched a few episodes of it and I gotta say, I think it does a really good job of satirizing modern American politics and showing just how much of a big baby the president is.

I heard that The Emoji Movie was so bad, it broke every film critic that watched it. If Roger Ebert were still alive and watched it, his review would go something like this:

(Roger just sits in the theatre chair with an angry expression on his face)

Guy: So Roger, what did you think of The Emoji Movie?

(Roger's expression doesn't change and he points up to the celing. A clip from his North review plays.)

Sometimes, a movie or TV show can be so dated, that it somehow becomes timeless. A couple of examples include the movie Demolition Man and the totally obscure Fresh Prince of Bel-Air TV series.

On the Lost Media Wiki, there's an article about a deleted scene from Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. I won't spoil what the scene is but I can give you the link to the article:

(A comedian is performing at a Bookworm convention)

Comedian: So I just got done reading Moby Dick and I gotta say, it's a whale of a tale!

(Audience is silent)

Comedian: (meekly) Please laugh.

The Wizard is one of those time capsule films. It captures late eighties/early nineties culture, especially the "Nintendo is Everywhere!" aspect. The film is about a boy who keeps saying "California" like "Cowafornya" and his brother Fred Savage who run away from home and hitch cross country with the help of a girl they meet to compete in the ultimate video game championship. Oh and we can't forget about Video Game Jesus himself, Lucas! This guy loves the Power Glove because it's so bad. He also has the ability to make this piece of junk actually work!

So there's an Honest Trailer on Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory featuring Micheal Bolton. I love how he puts a lot of effort in singing the songs, despite the silly lyrics. This is the video if you want to see it: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GblgBFT1-s)

Did you get a chance to read through the final version of Johto Quest episode three? I ask this because I want to have everything completed as soon as possible. I feel bad for spending a bit too much time on this episode. Hopefully, I don't take as long on the forth episode.

So in the film LA LA LAND, Sebastian the piano player gets upset at Mia for asking the eighties cover band he's in to play the song "I Ran" by A Flock of Seagulls. At first, I didn't really understand why and thought he was overreacting, as it's a rather decent song. But I did some reasearch and from what I understand, the piano part of the song isn't very interesting to play.

"There was an episode of Regular Show in which winning some kind of power glove was a major plot point. Then at the end it didn't even work..." I remember seeing that episode of the show! I haven't seen it in a while but I think the episode might've been paying homage to The Wizard.

Speaking of the movie, it could get really crazy at times. For example, there's a scene where Jimmy, Fred Savage, and Haley are face to face with Wormy Private Runaway Bounty Hunter Guy who kind of looks like George from Seinfeld in a casino. How do they escape his grasp? (Haley: *Screams and then points at Wormy Guy* HE TOUCHED MY BREASTS! *Security Guys carry Wormy Guy out*) A little while later, we see Wormy Guy talking in a phone booth and he says the following: (Wormy Guy: I touched her breasts. She doesn't have any breasts!) The film's rating? PG. If you had scenes like this in a film today, it would probably get a PG-13 or R rating because the modern MPAA is run by time travelling, prudish Victorian women (or so I've been told).

There's a scene in the movie Tommy Boy where David Spade is really trying not to laugh at Chris Farley's performance. This is the scene: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-G4DI9AzB8)

I guess the episode is ready to be uploaded to the site, huh? Well, I'll have to wait until I have access to a desktop computer, which will be Sunday because Weebly's editing system is a pain to use on mobile.

Originally, Kuni was SHOCKED by an ELECTRIC TYPE being a starter. There's a pun in there somewhere but I can't figure out what it is. Oh well! I guess we'll never know.

So I was looking around the Lost Media Wiki and found out that the original pilot for Kappa Mikey has been discovered. The show was originally pitched to MTV but was turned down and picked up by Nickelodeon instead. I remember liking the show as a kid mainly for the concept and how the characters were presented. So for the American characters, they are drawn in a western style of animation while the Japanese characters are drawn in an anime style. Here's the link to the article:

"Among the comments there was a sad joke that The Breakfast Club couldn't be made today because instead of talking and bonding, they'd just be playing with their smart phones." Can't be made today? Watch this:

(Six unique, modern looking teens sit at desks and stare at a guy who sounds like Benson from Regular Show)

Guy: Alright you punks! For the next two hours, no Twitter, Facebook, Instagram...

(The teens heads explode and fast scrolling credits appear while the song "Don't You Forget About Me" plays)

When I think of the word, "Contra", I think of that NES game that has the thirty lives code. The code, along with the game, are practically iconic video game staples.

I also found an article about an unmade short on the Disney Wiki. Here's the link to it: (http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/The_Square_World)

Yeah. Team Rocket haven't had work since the Pokemon anime ended... (Guy whispers in my ear) Me: Wait. What do you mean the anime is still going? (Guy whispers in my ear again) Me: It has almost a thousand episodes?! What!?

By the way, Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame was rated G, despite the graphic content in the Hellfire scene and Frollo's character. Meanwhile, Planes, Trains and Automobiles was rated R for one scene with swearing. Such brilliant work brought to you by the Moronic Prudes And Arseholes (MPAA).

So last night, I posted The White Wolf story on the NoSleep Reddit and it got removed. How did it go? Here's my essay long tanget about it, along with some other interesting things I found about NoSleep: (https://pastebin.com/4bafTVsW)

I'm working on a quick little horror story based on an urban legend. The working title of the story is "The Statue". Here's what I have so far:

(It was September of 1996. Three college age girls were walking around in a breezy and deserted cemetary, searching for the statue of a man known as Jacob Peabody. After spending at least twenty minutes in the cemetary, the girls finally came across a white, eight foot tall statue of a man made out of marble. Both sides of the statue's face were covered in curly hair and it sported a buttoned up duffel coat, a bowtie, tuxedo pants, and a pair of loafers. The statue seemed to be staring out into space as it clenched the left side of its coat and stood on a square base with the words, "Jacob Peabody. March 5, 1829 - July 25, 1874" etched into it.

"Well, this is it!" said the girl in the green Alpha Sigma Gamma shirt, "This is where you'll be staying for the night, Dana."

"Are you sure I have to do this, Izzy? It doesn't seem like a very smart idea," Dana stuttered.

"Dana, it's an Alpha Sigma Gamma tradition! Of course you have to do it if you wanna get in, right Juile?" Izzy replied as she turned towards Julie.

"Mhm," said Julie as she nodded her head.)

I always seem to struggle with the word "Cemetery" because I always think there's an "a" in there for some reason. I want to implement a back story for the man whom the statue resembles. Here's what I had in mind:

("One day, Mr. Peabody was taking a stroll through the park when someone shot him in the back of the head. He fell to the ground as he bled out on the pavement. To this day, no one knows who shot him.")

I'm trying to figure out where in the story I should put the information. I kind of want to try and fit it in sometime before Izzy and Julie leave Dana alone with the statue. I'd like to think that The Square Machine was used in the making of the Minecraft universe.

Cloud Girl? You mean Lumpy Space Princess from Adventure Time? When the hell did that crossover happen?! Can you link me to the crossover if it exists?

Reply to "NoSleep? More Like... No... Good... Stories!" Message
Today I went to see Dunkirk with my brother. Before I went to see it, I thought it was going to be some sort of superhero movie because the director of the film directed The Dark Knight trilogy. However, it turned out to be a war movie that takes place during World War II. I liked the movie, even if it was drastically different from what I was expecting.

What is it with me and having bad luck with Reddit when it comes to sharing my stories? First I had that guy's jerkward-esque comment on my Sunny Hill Farms story on the WritersGroup Reddit and now we have NoSleep removing a horror story because it's not a horror story even though half if not more than half of the story contains horror content. Could it be that Reddit is just not the place for people who are serious about sharing their stories and improving their craft?

I think that's a good suggestion. I think I can probably do something like:

("Well, this is it!" said the girl in the green Alpha Sigma Gamma shirt, "The statue of Jacob Peabody!"

"Hey Izzy, isn't that the same guy who got shot in the back of the head while taking a stroll through the park?" the girl in the blue jacket replied as she stared at the girl in the Alpha Sigma Gamma shirt.

"Mhm. I also heard that the guy who shot him was never caught. So now whenever people decide to sleep at the foot of this statue, they are inflicted with hellish nightmares that stick with them for the rest of their lives. If they're aren't brave that is," Izzy remarked as a smile grew across her face.

"Just so we're clear, this is where I'm going to be staying for the night?" Dana asked as her eyes slowly moved back and forth. Izzy and the girl in the blue jacket both said, "yup" at the same time.

"Are you sure I have to do this, Izzy? It doesn't seem like a very smart idea," Dana stuttered.

"Dana, it's an Alpha Sigma Gamma tradition! Of course you have to do it if you wanna get in, right Juile?" Izzy replied as she turned towards the girl in the blue jacket.

"Mhm," said Julie as she nodded her head.)

"Tom and Jerry and Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory." What's wrong with this sentence?

0 A. There are too many ands.

0 B. These two things shouldn't be together.

0 C. Patrick: I have three dollars...

0 D. Both A and B.

Speaking of that, there's a still from this movie that just made my piss my pants with laughter (R.I.P Pants). It's during a scene where the characters aer at the gates of Wonka's factory. Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce... Violet Derpigard: (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DFyVypmXkAABdQM.jpg:large)

Yes. That is an actual still from the movie, which came out in 2017. I think the animators did that on purpose because you can't make something that funny by accident. It's just not scientifically possible! I think the crossover could've worked a bit better if they replaced two of the characters (namely Charlie and Grandpa Joe) with Tom and Jerry because then the characters would be better integrated with the story. They can still have slapstick, even with this direction. For example, when Jerry (who is Charlie in this hypotheitcal movie) sees the candyman giving away free candy to the kids. When he goes in and tells the candyman that he wants free candy too (in writing of course), the candyman refuses and demands payment from Jerry. Jerry responds by climbing up a shelf and making a box of Wonka Bars fall on his head and crush him. Jerry then pushes the box out of the shop and looks through all of the Wonka bars for a golden ticket.

Before I upload the Johto Quest episode, I wanted to check for errors last night but I had a really bad headache. Hopefully I can try and do that tonight and if I can't, maybe you can help me out.
