Ollie is the name I chose, it's what my recently deceased dog was called. Wonderful little symmetry that his replacement is in the background of that second photo.
Also if this photo doesn't demonstrate what a big mother****er I am nothing will. Look at that thing next to the chair and the table and the pooch. Then look at it next to me. That's all 6 feet and 10 inches of pure, unfiltered Crunk. I don't have many photos of myself so I don't often get to admire my height.
Oh wow. You do look nice next to that bass. Do they have triple basses?

It is? I thought up was the one where your hand makes a backwards L.
Also, while I don't have many words created yet, I still figured out the grammar and word order for stuff in my conlang. A literal translation of the first sentence of Romeo and Juliet:
"Two households, both alike in dignity, / In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, / From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, / Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean." becomes "From grudge ancient, begin to be in a state of mutiny new households (dual) having dignity of each other, in Verona fair. In there, begin to be unclean [because of] blood of people hands of people."

If I wanted to, I suppose. The point was more about how different the grammar and some verbs were.

Eh. You're right, The Duelist Kingdom and the Battle City arcs aren't as good as the what equates to the Season Zero arc or the Millennium World arc, but it's still a very enjoyable read on the whole.

You are forgiven. I know you're not the manga reading kind, but I'd urge you to read it anyway. Also good job on romanizing "shounen" correctly.

The Duelist arc two very long arcs involving the game Duel Monsters, in real life it's called Yugioh, after the manga, and is about the evil spirit learning he's an egyptian pharoah god king, and the puzzle is one in a set of items similiar to it (we encountered two of them in season zero)
Finally, Millenium World has us explore the spirit's past, and learn what his purpose here in life is and how to pass on to the afterlife he deserves.
I guess it could have revenge aspects to it, but you'd have to be looking for them for that to be the main attraction. That, or you would have to be rooting for the over-arching villain of the series...

It's a lost day, because you can't do very much, and one would very much prefer to not have it, but it wasn't the end of the world, and I didn't go "never again" like the stereotypical hangover is supposed to make you do. But then again, I'm not much of a drinker, so my hangover was definitely not the worst.
All in all, I'll just remember to drink more water between the beers or wine.

I'm not a big drinker either, just a bit of vodka from time to time. I don't think I've ever really had a hangover. Even if it isn't that bad it still sounds like something that is good to avoid. :smalltongue:

Yeah that is something that has come to mind. :smallfrown: Truth be told we have had limited communication for the last few months.

It's nice over here, but pretty rainy, drizzling constantly for almost two days straight. But I've been a little under my weather as of lately, so I haven't been able to stay active for very long before tiring, and thus haven't had to suffer from the rainfall very much.

The only enjoyment I had was making fun of it. There is a scene in Battle City where Kaiba. SETO KAIBA. Says the following "Putting Yugi in a duel to the death with his friend? That's just evil. Even I wouldn't do that."
LET ME REMIIIIIND YOU. This is the guy who, in his SECOND APPEARANCE in the SERIES, kidnapped the main cast and put them into DEATHLAND, a themepark themed around "the death of Yugi and his friends". He hired corrupt army soldiers to play "lazor tag" with them, using real guns. He found what amounts to Leatherface from The Hills Have Eyes to hunt them down. His brother played RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH POISONED FOOD WITH THEM.
And this guy has the GALL to say "That's just EVIL! How could he" to the villain? Also, it's worth noting, directly after this scene two dudes try to attack Kaiba. He slices someone's hand open with a card, knocks them both unconcious, chains them up, and then kicks them into the sea, saying something along the lines of "Die as obscure losers who dared to stain my card with your blood"

Hmm so that is the trick then? I'll remember that just in case. I've also heard eating bread and similar things helps if having drunk too much. Then again, I would prefer not to drink too much in the first place. :smallwink:

Wait, this all really happened? :smalleek: Was this the manga? I remember Seto being an ass in the anime, but not quite that horrifying. Then again I would probably find that interesting to read. :smallbiggrin: I kinda like Kaiba from the anime. Don't really know why.

Yes. What I mentioned happened in the Season Zero arc equivalent. If you only watch the dub you never get to see this. There are a bunch of other things. Mokuba was actually a genuine threat twice. Once involving russian roulette with food, once with (once he lost the game they where playing) he DREW A GOD DAMN KNIFE AND TRIED TO SHANK OUR HERO.
Mokuba. Mokuba Kaiba. Yes, that one.

He changes after the manga and anime reach the second Part of Yugioh, which the manga translation calls as "Duelist".
There are three parts of Yugioh. There's part one, which I call Season Zero based on the anime fans calling it such. It's just called Yugioh in manga form. Then we have part 2, which is Yugioh as you know it, the anime. It's known as Yugioh: Duelist in manga form. Then we have part 3, which if I recall the anime actually changed the title to Yugioh: Millenium World when they got to this. For the manga, it was Yugioh: Millenium World as well.
...I forget how to spell Millenium :smallredface:

That's okay because that's basically exactly what happened, and it's about as effective as you'd imagine.
ALSO! The thing that makes everyone scream in horror, and all the fangirls cry endless, delicious tears. Yugi and Yami Yugi are the exact same height. The transformation gives no height increase at all. It's harder to see in the anime, but it's there as well. Yugi is always the same short little midget, no matter who's in charge of his body.

(also, in the credits, the rainbows do upside-down shuttle loops :smallbiggrin:)
