Are Boston cream donuts an Adaptation Displacement of the Boston cream pie?

Doing so tends to result in some highly questionable Donkey Kong memes.

Here's a funny random thought for you all. :)

Which is the funnier movie to watch that takes place in a warm climate? The Road to El Dorado or Monty Python's Life of Brian, a.k.a. the movie where everybody is a lucky bastard?

I love it when a story where I've only written bits and pieces of it starts to slowly become pieced together thanks to characters acting in-character.

If there's one thing I hate in media is when a character uncharacteristically starts acting like an idiot just for the sake of moving the story forward. I don't hate the Idiot Ball trope in general since nobody is infallible - I just hate it when the application doesn't make sense.

Like, there was some movie I saw bits of a couple of years ago (Whose title I don't remember, it was a very generic title and very generic movie) with a man who was on the run from criminals for... something, and they targeted his daughter, too. At one near the climax, she just throws a fit for no reason and storms off from him, and it's so painfully obvious that it's for the sole purpose of turning her into a Damsel in Distress and setting up the final confrontation. It really annoyed me.

I may be hyped for tomorrow, but I’m trying to think of something to do that will help me relax tonight so I’m better prepared for tomorrow. Should I listen to pleasant music or watch a movie that’s hilarious or romantic?

Bubble tea is life. I once said that if I were a being able to subsist only on sugar, I'd drink that stuff 24/7.

Man, sometimes I wish Pokemon (and Chao) were real. I want, -nay- need a Pyukumuku to just gently hold and vibe with. I shall name him Pablo. I need to avenge the Pyukumuku that those damn Alolan tourists keep throwing into the water instead of letting them eat on the beach in peace.

[up][up][up][up]So I'm not the only one who's been wondering what the fuss is about. The only thing I have yet to see YT recommend to me is an "Iceberg of Icebergs"


I missed hearing the Siivagunner high-quality rips, so I heard a couple recently for nostalgia's sake. I'll post about one of them in the Songs thread. waii

I think part of the reasons iceberg videos are popular is because they're something you can throw on in the background.
