  1. Can't believe it's nearly seven years since the death of Maddie Blaustein (the voice of several characters like E-123 Omega, Meowth, and Solomon/Sugoroku Muto.

  2. Giants lost! The Cubs have clinched, at least, a Wild Card spot! :D

  3. Cooking's fun, but flipping it like a chef scares me. I don't want to create a great dish, only to toss it and lose a good portion. Give me my tongs and spatula for the tossing.

  4. Toronto did their job winning tonight. Minnesota lost tonight to Detroit. If the Angels lose to the Mariners, Toronto clinches their first playoff berth since 1993.

  5. The Scooby-Doo live-action film from the early-2000s sucks, but the worst part, IMO, is the treatment of Scrappy-Doo. I don't care if he's unlikeable, annoying, or one-dimensional. Bashing and villainizing him in the film is STUPID!

  6. Around the third inning last night at Petco Park, a woman went into labor near the Padres' team store and gave birth to a baby boy. Congratulations to the new madre! :D

      Are you saying innings as in ''It's the bottom of the ninth and one more out ends the game''?

      It's just like that King of the Hill episode where Hank was born at a Yankee's game

  7. A DYK: Jon Lester only has three hits this season, all of them against the Cardinals.

  8. MLB playoff implications today! If the Cubs win OR Giants lose, the Cubs clinch a playoff berth. If the Blue Jays win AND Twins/Angels lose, then the Jays clinch a berth.

      This will be huge for the Jays. The last time they made the playoffs, you weren't four yet.

  9. Congratulations to the Royals for their first AL Central crown! :D

  10. The more I think about Yu-Gi-Oh GX's 4Kids dub, the more I realize how screwed up some of the jokes are. seriously, fat jokes at Chumley and transphobic jokes at Crowler? Those jokes won't fly in today's world.

      Why would you watch this show? Why would anyone watch this show?

       

      I am sorry, i really dislike the yugioh anime franchise.

      I typically don't expect much serious stuff from 4kids seeing as they edit out Japanese culture.

    3. Megas

      4Kids dubs in general are awful considering how much they alter their source material and do whatever they can to censor anything that looks remotely Japanese, and went as far as to have Japanese characters sing the Star Spangled Banner. Their approach to dubbing often comes across as Xenophobic

  11. Why does the brony fandom have plenty of porn? The same reason there's a lot of porn in the Sonic, Hairy Potter, anime, and furry fandoms. Because they can.

      You realize that the filter is on by default for everyone, and that every individual has to opt to turn it off for themselves, right? No child has access to my laptop. Lmao.

      i have filter on still get it

  12. One thing the writers at Looney Toons did so well was how they all but perfected cartoon comedy. They worked their asses off to make the jokes work.

    1. GenderIsAnIllusion

      GenderIsAnIllusion

      Yes, and they also tied a lot of jokes in with current events, making them a great time capsule of the times they were created in.

  13. Stories like the 2013 Red Sox, 1991 Twins and Braves, 2003 Marlins, 1997 Giants, and 2008 Rays are why I am completely against relegation in North American sports. If relegation existed, we wouldn't have such great worst-to-first stories.

  14. I'm still very baffled how the Atlanta Braves played in the NL WEST for 24 seasons.

      So they needed a terrible team to balance the great ones?

    3. Dark Qiviut

      Apparently, they didn't want just those three teams to overpower the rest of the NL. The Reds went to the NL West, too, to help balance out the league.

      Bleh, I hate parity.

  15. One great piece of detail during Price Is Right's decades week is Drew Carey's wardrobe. You notice he's wearing suit styles that were popular during that time: the three-piece from the '70s and pinstripe suit in the '80s.

  16. Presidential candidate Ben Carson is a fuckin' idiot! Seriously, Muslims shouldn't qualify for U.S. presidency and, if elected, be forced to swear by the Bible and not the Koran?!

      This is actually incorrect. As you probably do not know, most of the writers of our constitution were deists, not Christian. Not only that, but "one nation under God" was added sometime in the 50s or 60s to the pledge (illegally added at that considering church and state separation) for the purpose of setting us apart from our enemies at the time. Not only that,Mobutu you do not HAVE to swear on a bible.myou are allowed to swear on any religious texts, or can choose to swear without a...

      Religious text at all.

    4. Miles

      Actually, I never said they were Christian, bud. I know they were deists. And I know that the one part was added into the pledge in the 50s. However, it wasn't illegal. It'd be against the constitution if it were illegal.

      Anyway... what's the point of swearing in if they aren't consistently done the same way? I find it absolutely useless if it's inconsistent like you say it is.

  17. Well, Jeff Samarzija pitched a CG 1-hitter today. He needed something to salvage what is a really crappy season for him.

  18. One feature you'll rarely find in modern MLB ballparks: the requirement for I beams to interfere with your line of sight toward the game.

  19. Watching classic episodes of the game show, High Rollers (with Alex Trebek as host).

  20. I won't cut it any nicer. Ayaan Hirsi Ali claims to be a critic of Islam, but her stereotypes towards Muslims and Islamic Muslims, including calls for a genocide of Islamic Muslims, turned her into the very same bigot she fought against. She's equivalent to a white supremacist.

      In fact the only safe place to be Gay and Open about it is North America and Europe, the rest of the world would rather kill them.

      That's because the world is a complicated place.

  21. A lot of people on EQD excuse the simplicity and predictabity of the mystery because A) it's not about it and B) it's a "kids' show. My responses to both.

      B) Being appropriate for kids doesn't mean you should dumb down content. To excuse it brings out holes to Rarity Investigates's quality.

      i could careless of how predictable the culprit is to some people, not all in the audience are going to suspect. To me, so long as the adventure was fun and endearing, I can easily forgive how simple a resolution is.

      I agree that the mystery was solved the instant they showed the new character. They set everything up pretty perfectly, motive and all. I was then hoping that the reveal would at least be very exciting, since we knew pretty much "who" and "why" they did it, I was really excited to see "how." It wasn't quite as exciting, but for sure Rarity fans loved it. XD

  22. There's a way to be matter-of-fact in your reviews without looking like a jerk. Jerry Peet crosses that line.

      I try to stay away from his channel. He seems to mix that elitist mentality and that bad side of Tumblr mentality.

      I'm perhaps more opinionated and matter-of-fact than her, and I dislike how demeaning she gets, especially to get the better hand in her analyses.

      Yeah, he's a real prick. He supported Pinkiepony when that shit was going down.

  23. Y'know, I kinda like the idea of Yoenis Cespedes possibly the NL MVP this year. >)
