A Nerd Club Christmas

-DECEMBER 24, 1999-

-MANHATTAN, NEW YORK-

"I do not very much enjoy Christmas."

It was Christmas Eve, and here a child with messy black hair hid under her sheets, grumbling to herself while peering at a book with a flashlight.

"Mother and father do not listen to me. I am certain I just got frilly girly things again. I bet they're pink."

The girl known as Viola Brown sighed, her cheeks puffing out. Long has she wanted to run away from home, start her own life where no one would make fun of her for liking the occult. She'd go far away and change her name. Viola was nice, but Brown was much too plain. Maybe something like... like...

She looked down at the book she was reading again. The Official Pokemon Handbook. She'd read it cover to cover many times, but she always came back for more. The pages were open to the two-page spread devoted to Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar, and she stared at those pages with wide, wistful eyes.

"I wish I could be a Pokemon Trainer. They get to go wherever they want and have adventures. Pokemon would not judge me."

Her eyes fell to the list of attacks the Pokemon could learn. The words "Night Shade" drifted over her vision.

"...Nightshade..."

GB Plots 2018 Retrospective

Alright, let's get this show on the road. Time to look back at all my plot events this year and let loose any behind-the-scenes or cutting room floor stuff!

Chatzy Madness Volume 318: Texts From Dolby

Brinehammer: Full disclosure; I never expected anyone to like Oda at all ;>.>
Yelly McHarpy: sorry brine, you humanized her too much
Yelly McHarpy: its the same trap you fall into every year
Brinehammer: You're not wrong... I just, dang. I meant for her to be a side character, not another main. Confirmed for Brawl though. She's Gotta.
Senior Drrrrrraco: Sorry, Brine, for making her happy.
Brinehammer: I guess I'll live with it :V
Senior Drrrrrraco: I'll make sure DeMonde inevitably betrays General-chan by saying anime isn't real.
ivel: DRACO YOU MONSTER
Senior Drrrrrraco: It's true, Ivel. Cory in the House didn't actually happen. >=l
ivel: ;;

Dia: kobberfans.jpg
ivel: that is Kaede.png ;U
RubyChao: you are right
RubyChao: that IS kaede

---

Dia: gacha reward
Gooper Blooper: Dia looking a little bit like Junko
Dia: lacks the aura
Dia: i mean
Gooper Blooper: not enough fluff
Dia: i can fix that :U
Dia: either way she's wearing golden pega wings
Dia: and i keep making saint seiya jokes at ivel in spite of the fact that i know 1% about seiya
Gooper Blooper: of course you only know 1%
Gooper Blooper: but it's the most important 1%
Gooper Blooper: because that one percent is the toughest of the one hundred percents
Dia: KEK
RubyChao: i love how that ikki meme will never die
RubyChao: just thanks to how absurd a phase "strongest of the 100 orphans" is
Gooper Blooper: if we ever get to 100 brawl entrants, keep your eye on ikki

Chatzy Madness Volume 317: Nyan-Nyan Baka Sheep-San Desu Desu =^.^=

Admiral BC of Marshmallows: also fuck i have ideas for Chickenplot 2019
Admiral BC of Marshmallows: oh god Miss Featherbutt might be a breakout char for 2019
Admiral BC of Marshmallows: what the fuck
Admiral BC of Marshmallows: it's too early go to bed, Miss Featherbutt

iKomodo: turts

Brinehammer joined the chat
Gooper Blooper joined the chat
Jumpropeman: hi gooper brineper
Deletons: Gooper brineper
Deletons: A terrifying combo of sugar-addicted goth girls
Brinehammer: Cutest characters, hardest lurking.
Gooper Blooper: pff

---

Jumpropeman: apparently Knack had a crossover with a game called Destiny of Spirits, one of those "collect all the character" types of games. It included such memorable Knack characters as: Country Goblin, Powered-suit Goblin, Android Soldier, and Mining Robot
Gooper Blooper: all your favorites
Gooper Blooper: how about a knack smash brothers clone
Green Waluigi: oh, it was a Vita game
Green Waluigi: that's why I never heard of it :U
Jumpropeman: how I found it was that Giant Knack is one of the "Spirits" and his attack is creatively called Strong Arm Punch. Compare this to other characters having attacks like Power, Therefore Justice; Dangerous Philosophy; Invention of the Century; Freedom and Justice; and even Little Knack's Speed Star

---

Senior Drrrrrraco: Added Deb to my profiles.
Secretary of Defenestration: Deb, the sentient patch of haze?
Senior Drrrrrraco: Deb the...lady who walks up around huge gears.
Jumpropeman: finally, Deb's form revealed
Senior Drrrrrraco: Eeyup. Goops reminded me I hadn't put her profile up yet.
Secretary of Defenestration: I've been thinking about playing Deb, the sentient patch of haze.
Secretary of Defenestration: But she's kind of a bitch.
Senior Drrrrrraco: I don't know who that is, sadly.
Secretary of Defenestration: She's Deb, a sentient patch of haze.
Secretary of Defenestration: Obviously.
Jumpropeman: I don't know who she is
Secretary of Defenestration: Teasing, she's from Night Vale.
Secretary of Defenestration: I don't know who you are.
Jumpropeman: I don't know who I am
Senior Drrrrrraco: Ah.
Cornwind Evil: Time to introduce my new character, Shirtpants.

Jumpropeman: "Hi, giant gross rabbit, I think video games should not be gatekept by weird tricks"
RubyChao: jumpropetom
Jumpropeman: Vince is right you know
Jumpropeman: Springtrap IS a giant gross rabbit
Spy Fights Heat Unproductively: He really is
Jumpropeman: oh hi spy!
Jumpropeman: I know a trick to fighting heat
Jumpropeman: you gotta Beat the Heat with the Digibeat! (All Summer!)
ivel: I don't think Spy will fit in the freezer
RubyChao: spy lives
ivel: oh :U
RubyChao: For Now
Jumpropeman: that ephemeral DigiBeat commercial shows the importance of the preservation of the most ephemeral pieces of media
Jumpropeman: how else would I be allowed to sing this song in public without having a source to cite
Gooper Blooper: >ephemerial media preservation
Jumpropeman: who knows how many "Next time on" style of commercials have disappeared into the air waves for all eternity
Gooper Blooper: in honor of jumpropeman's exsquisite taste
Gooper Blooper: rachel's in the bar
Jumpropeman: how can she be in the bar
Jumpropeman: when she's already in our hearts
Spy Fights Heat Unproductively: JRM no
Gooper Blooper: *links it again*
MobileDrac: Do people even like Rachel?
MobileDrac hides his cosplay.
Jumpropeman: *posts, ignoring Rachel*
Jumpropeman: *has turned his back on the Rachel universe*
Gooper Blooper: witness JRM's willpower to not have his characters glomp rachel every time she appears
Gooper Blooper: He doesn't have Gysel anymore to shower her with compliments, what will he do?!?!
Jumpropeman: Shimmer is currently shackled to her bed to keep her away from Rachel
Jumpropeman: barpost
Jumpropeman: I could only resist so long
Gooper Blooper: the sweet siren song of dear rachel called to JRM

(later)

Gooper Blooper: barpost
Gooper Blooper: I feel like JRM's going to point to this post and go "this is why I love Rachel"
Jumpropeman: *deletes chatzy message I was in the middle of writing* NO
Gooper Blooper: *JRM hides Rachel plush behind back*
Jumpropeman: and I swear
Jumpropeman: while Tomi and Rachel might not fite in Brawl
Jumpropeman: I won't NECESSARILY avoid her with all my cast :V
Jumpropeman: it just might happen
Jumpropeman: randomly
Jumpropeman: or she kills all my guys who knows
Gooper Blooper: She kills all of your entrants except Tomi to inflate her kill count
Gooper Blooper: Rachel sets a record for most KOs
Jumpropeman: Rachel kills 70 people before making it to the end
Jumpropeman: where Mac Tonight wins again somehow
Gooper Blooper: Or JRM does one of those "popular character is KOed by a heel-type entrant" things

---

PalaModo: Time for half-asleep rambles with SK
PalaModo: so what the heck was with that Babe film
PalaModo: and who greenlit the shit with that duck because they needed a punch in the stomach
Jumpropeman: the guy who made Mad Max
Jumpropeman: which explains a surprising amount

Chatzy Madness Volume 315: Doing A Boo-Boo With the Wa-Wa

Bree: my character with the largest breasts is komachi, who is a shinigami and doesn't get tired because she's an unliving revenant
Bree: also she's a lazy blob and she doesn't run 'cause she's slow as fuck
Bree: so I think it's perfectly realistic

---

Jumpropeman: it's not much, but check this out
Jumpropeman: I'm a recognized review source on mobygames :3
B.C.: aw
Jumpropeman: they only got the switch titles now but the others are in an approval queue
Gooper Blooper: Ha, that's great
Gooper Blooper: good work JRM
Bree: I could appreciate your achievement better if I knew what the mobygames site is about
Bree: do they collect reviews or something
Bree: is it like IMDB but for games
Jumpropeman: mobygames has been around since 1999. It's a video game information site sorta similar to IMDB yeah
infinitivel: "Video game information, credits, reviews, box covers, screenshots and more for 200+ video game platforms from 1950 to date!"
Jumpropeman: it's especially useful for finding info on retro games
Jumpropeman: so hopefully they'll approve my retro reviews as well
Bree: oh, okay, nice
Bree: cornflarturations
Bree: u did it
Gooper Blooper: Ah yes, the 50s, my favorite gaming decade
Jumpropeman: Gamerankings is my next prey, but they have a 300 review minimum before they recognize you :V
Gooper Blooper: maybe next offseason
Jumpropeman: a flood of atari and colecovision reviews
Jumpropeman: alternatively: a flood of barely different iOS dentist games
Gooper Blooper: I'm waiting for the day you review a real stinker from mobile game hell
Bree: I want a full disaster report on one of those inane beauty makeover games for little girls
Gooper Blooper: Honestly I feel like JRM could get a full disaster report out of mobile hell, but only if it was, like, a look at a number of different games all in the same category
Gooper Blooper: like "games that rip off Hello Neighbor" or "makeover/doctor games"
Gooper Blooper: Just one probably doesn't have enough substance for an in-depth lengthy review, and it'd let him dissect the general trend and the stuff that led to awful mobile shit being the norm
Jumpropeman: my white whale still remains A1 Celebrity Wedding Dentist Awesome Kids Little Surgery Salon HD - Fun Superstar Dental Doctor Office Makeover Game
Jumpropeman: I found the name, but by the time I had the hardware, it disappeared

---

Jumpropeman: steamed hams would eventually get into rp no doubt
Jumpropeman: might as well be first day
Jumpropeman: *scraps Just the Entire Steamed Hams Scene mystery fiter*
Jumpropeman: you might think they'd get no kills
Jumpropeman: but there's no Krusty Burger in sight
Jumpropeman: he'll have to get that meat elsewhere
Gooper Blooper: their weapon is a burning house, that's pretty dangerous
Jumpropeman: "These burgers are quite similar to the combined flesh of our fellow entrants." "Patented skinning- SKINNER... burgers"

Chatzy Madness Volume 314: Embrace the Baby Shit

Jumpropeman: I don't know if I ever told anyone that my used original Xbox came with tons of early 2000s music downloaded on it and whoever owned it before me set the system name to WHORE
Jumpropeman: first time I played Halo and went into multiplayer and just saw WHORE plastered across the screen
Jumpropeman: so confused
Gooper Blooper: that sounds hilariously edgy
Gooper Blooper: so early 2000s it hurts

---

Yijun: i want in on more mutant plot goddamn it and I NEED MORE MUTANTS
Yijun: *shoves Shiva in everything like he's the new fad*
Jumpropeman: *makes Knack into a mutant AND a psychic for maximum plot potential*
MobileDrac: Clone Sammy?
Yijun: we can't clone sammy
Yijun: that would destroy the very fabrics of our universe
MobileDrac: With joy

Jumpropeman: chao said he wanted to read about the beanie baby boom
Jumpropeman: but what about the big mouth billy bass boom
Jumpropeman: catfish, swordfish, lobster

Jumpropeman: and then suddenly we realized
Jumpropeman: we didn't actually like them
Jumpropeman: but it was too late
Jumpropeman: we rocked the boat
Jumpropeman: we rocked the boat baby
Jumpropeman: we rocked the boat
Jumpropeman: we tipped the boat over
Jumpropeman: we rocked the boaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Assembly

-ZFPD BUILDING-

Donuts were the finest food to ever be invented. On this, Officer Patricia Wagon was absolutely certain. She didn't care if cops and donuts was a stereotype - they were delicious, dammit, and nothing would keep her from her daily donut. But as she finished eating her treat and washed it down with a sip of black coffee, her eyes drifted over her mug to the girl sitting across from her nibbling worriedly on a toaster pastry with one hand while scanning the Hoku Lewa Times newspaper she clutched in her other hand. The girl looked like an overwound toy, ready to snap if the slightest thing went wrong... even though so far things had been smooth sailing.

Of course, Patty suspected she knew why.

"Are you going to be ready for this?"

"AAAGH!" Denise Marmalade flung her newspaper into the air in a panic, though she miraculously didn't throw her pop-tart. "What?! Now?! OKAY!" She opened her mouth wide-

"Wait, wait, hold on-"

Denise promptly shoved the entire rest of her pop-tart into her mouth, and promptly began choking on it. Patty groaned, put down her coffee, and slipped behind her coworker for the Heimlich maneuver. Once the artificial incident was over with, Patty spun Denise around and put her hands firmly on her shoulders.

"You're too tense, Denise. You need to calm down."

"B-but the kobbers are coming! They're coming in less than ten days! Some of them are already HERE!"

"I know. And there will be incidents, and there will be trouble, and there will be stress. I get it. But you have to take it easy and not act like it's the end of the world. This happens every year! I've read all about it, Browny's told me stories, it's crazy compared to other places but here it's nothing new. So just try and take it one day at a time, alright?"

"A... a-alright. Thanks, Officer Wagon."

"Please. We're coworkers!" Patricia patted Denise on the shoulder and gave her a friendly smile. "Call me Patty."

MobileDrac: Losing X-Wing last night has left me a bitter self-loathing shell of my former self. Or something.

N Goat keeps sinking
N Goat: busts through the crust
N Goat skedaddles past the mantle
N Goat bores through the core
N Goat collapses in on self under the weight of despair and creating a gravity well that forms a supermassive black hole event
N Goat via subjecting this space to effects cause the breakdown of various rules of physics, a wormhole is formed
N Goat popping Sheep into a dimension where Metal Gear Survive does not exist
N Goat however, popped into existence in a javelina pen
N Goat startling said javelinas
N Goat and is mauled to death
N Goat: On the one hand, it sucks that a game a team of people put time and effort into looks like it may not come out great
N Goat: but there is a part, in the deepest, darkest, Persona-esque Shadow part of my heart and soul that hopes this game bombs so badly their pachinko feels it

Honster Munter: holy fuck

Jumpropeman: "Search for beautiful wife of developer" it also struck me as odd when a headline brings in words like "beautiful"
Jumpropeman: "maybe if we call her beautiful she'll show up"
Gooper Blooper: that's all she wanted
B.C.: Works for ivel
Draco: Yeah, Ivel says he's looking for his beautiful wife and people know exactly who he's talking about.
Gooper Blooper: :3

Gooper Blooper: Angry Sun in a rare moment of happiness
Gooper Blooper: judging by the things JRM has been digging up I think he's down the ConsoleClassix rabbit hole
RubyChao: he's lost to us now.
Gooper Blooper: who knows which of these ridiculous gamelike objects he's shown us tonight will be his 52nd review
Jumpropeman: I'm trying to find at least one game per system for the ones I now have access to so I can get a good feel for the various emulators and make a proper site review
Jumpropeman: I might put off things like Bratz and Mario's Early Years until after that though :
Jumpropeman: those things must be enjoyed slowly and carefully
Jumpropeman: like a filet mignon

RubyChao: she would
On Steam Wishlist-REVENGE: Creates my main 2019 villain Twilight
RubyChao: and/or attempt to sexually proposition her
Jumpropeman: miu would make a more sexually charged design than dirk i wager
On Steam Wishlist-REVENGE: Dawn: YOU JUST HAD TO USE THE ULTRON SCHEMATICS DIDN'T YOU.
RubyChao: miu and dirk collaborate and dawn's just like
RubyChao: "this is a sexbot design isn't it" "yep!"
On Steam Wishlist-REVENGE: Dawn: You just HAD to show you could TAME them, didn't you.
Jumpropeman: Dawn is no longer human
Gooper Blooper: Dawn was never human
On Steam Wishlist-REVENGE: Dawn: Such a design is unnecessary.

Jumpropeman: "Gooper Blooper is a larger than average Blooper who never displays much in the way of intelligence"
Jumpropeman: mariowiki is harsh to our good friend
RubyChao: that's cause they're blooperacists

On Steam Wishlist-REVENGE: Shining Force has a subtitle, much like The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring.
On Steam Wishlist-REVENGE: Subtitles can really add to something sounding epic
On Steam Wishlist-REVENGE: STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
On Steam Wishlist-REVENGE: TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY
On Steam Wishlist-REVENGE: KNACK 2: YES THIS EXISTS
On Steam Wishlist-REVENGE: So guess what the Shining Force subtitle is

ivel: STAR WARS EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE

RubyChao: THE KING OF LIMBO
ivel: The Shining?
On Steam Wishlist-REVENGE: It is....SHINING FORCE: THE LEGACY OF GREAT INTENTION
Jumpropeman: gotta love the things that have nonsense subtitles
On Steam Wishlist-REVENGE: ....I think someone mighta have been confused over some Japanese kakana aspects
Jumpropeman: Croc: Legend of the Gobbos
Jumpropeman: holy shit man, I gotta know about that Gobbo legend
Jumpropeman: hold up guys, I might blow your mind with this hot take on Croc: Legend of the Gobbos
Jumpropeman: its not a game about the legend behind the Gobbos
Jumpropeman: no, Croc perhaps IS the legend of the Gobbos, for his bravery in collecting generic crystals
ivel: :O
Phone: You're rapidly losing my financial support, but go on
ivel: with this revelation, I need to go to bed to process this
Jumpropeman: Gobbos, by the by, appearing to be Tribbles with eyes
Jumpropeman: and naturally, Croc was raised by the Gobbos, who found him in the exact same way baby Moses was found in the Bible
Jumpropeman: "One day, Baron Dante and his band of villains known as the Dantinis invade Gobbo Valley and begin terrorizing the Gobbos, capturing them and locking them in steel cages. Amidst the chaos, King Rufus summons a magical yellow bird named Beany, who uses her magical abilities to transport Croc to safety"
Jumpropeman: why don't I own Croc
Phone: Final Fantasy 14-7, Return of the Unrepetent Subtitles
Draco: Because it might actually have decent gameplay.
Phone: I was gonna suggest the opposite to Draco's quip. 8u Ya got distracted with good games for a bit and lost your badsenses.
Phone: So is Dante more the Gaming Inferno, or the Devil May Crier
Jumpropeman: I was legitimately thinking of starting Fallout:New Vegas lately, but Ven is right. I've strayed from my roots. Time to look into playing Croc: Legend of the Gobbos instead

Chatzy Madness Volume 307: Suffer, Small Nerd

New Recruits

-KUWAHAWI POLICE OFFICE-

Officer Browny peered through the papers in his hands one last time. He didn't need to - he already knew the decisions he was going to make - but he always did enjoy being organized and thorough. Before him sat two recruits, awaiting his word on whether or not he would allow their transfer to the ZFPD.

The first possible new recruit was a prodigy. Still young and youthful, she was as smart as a whip, extremely capable, and fast on her feet. She had had great success in her previous assignments, always coming out on top against physically superior foes and making her way through obstacle courses like it was a stroll down the street. And the additional backup she requested seemed promising, as well, though it may take time to approve them as well.

Then there was the other one.

Hoo boy.

Jumpropeman: "Bob may not have made this stone, but it'd make a damn good football in a pinch."

Gooper Blooper: IT'S A FOOTBALL! HE CHISELED IT

Bitter Coffee: Chao can't fucking do that twice in a row
Bitter Coffee: i will murder him
RubyChao: sez u
Bitter Coffee: oh god chao did you do the long con
Bitter Coffee: how could you
Gooper Blooper: hahahahahaha
Bitter Coffee: ...she still wouldn't have much to gain from it
Bitter Coffee: considering she barely dealt with the experiments
Draco: Just everything.
Gooper Blooper: the most delayed heel turn
Draco Maria rolls around in bottles of Kuwahawi Springs water.

A Belated Behind the Scenes of 2017 GB Plots

It's been a long time coming, but now at last I'm bringing you some behind the scenes on my plots from Season 7. Here you'll find a chronological rundown of every event and details on the characters involved, what got cut, and my thought processes while plotting.

Chatzy Madness Volume 304: Combo-Juggling A Robot

RubyChao: oh shit
RubyChao: guys
RubyChao: jrm missed cirno day
RubyChao: ;_;7
A Flute-Busting Prussian: RIP jrm
Gooper Blooper: I noticed this morning and was upset
Gooper Blooper: When Cirno is finally actually in RP, I expect a plot about her on Cirno Day
RubyChao: 9/9/19 in Season 9
RubyChao: cant' pass up that confluence
RubyChao: especially if he manages to post at 9:09
RubyChao: (even if cirno shows up next year cirnoplot should be season 9)
Jumpropeman: *steeples fingers, glasses shine*
Gooper Blooper: you only get one shot at this
Gooper Blooper: it's not something you can afford to pass up

Grabbin Pillz: Does anyone remember the yugioh episode with the zombies
Grabbin Pillz: From like season one
Grabbin Pillz: That shit was creepy when I was ten
RubyChao: i do!
Grabbin Pillz: I don't think that deck even worked like that in the actual card game
Grabbin Pillz: All the zombie monsters were separate cards
Grabbin Pillz: Yu-gi-oh is systemically busted anyway
ivel: I remember the episode with Bonz but I don't think that was season 1
RubyChao: it most definitely could not have worked like that
RubyChao: but then again season 1 had the flotation ring
RubyChao: basically duelist kingdom treated it like some weird hybrid of a card game and a tactics game
Five Minutes to Meennight: I could see a card reviving cards, changing their type to Zombie, and axing their defense
Five Minutes to Meennight: But not summoning entirely separate designs
ivel: wait Duelist Kingdom was season 1? Huh.
Five Minutes to Meennight: . . . Also god that reminds me of my favorite stupid Warhammer thing
RubyChao: yeah
RubyChao: season 1 is kaiba and then duelist kingdom
Five Minutes to Meennight: Namely, how to repopulate the Earth with just two lovers from two different planets
RubyChao: 2 is battle city, 3 is THE BIG FIVE i mean virtual world and battle city finals, 4 is Filler 2: The Fillering, and 5 is dawn of the duel
RubyChao: oh god why do i remember that all so easily
RubyChao: help
Five Minutes to Meennight: All you need is a Necron Warrior, a Poxwalker of Nurgle, some mood lighting, and really good luck on the dice
Five Minutes to Meennight: Poxwalkers revive troops they kill as another Poxwalker. Necron have Reanimation Protocols that, on a good role, let them come back from the dead
Five Minutes to Meennight: In all their infinite wisdom, GW ruled that these are not mutually exclusive
Five Minutes to Meennight: Zombie kills robit. Robit rises as zombie. Robit apparently climbs out of the zombie and gets back to fighting
Five Minutes to Meennight: There is no limit to this. You can end up with an entire zombie planet just combo-juggling this robot
ivel: oh god @Spy
ivel: of course they didn't think of that
Five Minutes to Meennight: Oh no, they thought of that
Five Minutes to Meennight: This was a conscious FAQ ruling
ivel: ...
Five Minutes to Meennight: I guess they didn't want to be rude to Necron players and say "oh this one specific unit can stop your reviving"
Five Minutes to Meennight: In the off chance a Poxwalker actually accomplishes something
Five Minutes to Meennight: But the result is friggin hilarious
Grabbin Pillz: I vote for the next chatzy madness title to be "combo-juggling a robot"

Chatzy Madness Volume 303: Bigfoot Is Real, Bigfoot Is Great

Jumpropeman: I'm surprised Shipt keeps putting Dr. Pepper 2 liters on sale
Jumpropeman: maybe they're like "we ordered so much stock and that one guy hasn't bought yet to clear it. Maybe it's the price?"
Gooper Blooper: they like you
Jumpropeman: well I like them too <3
Jumpropeman: man, a ton of chicken is on sale too
Jumpropeman: I recently remembered toast exists so I've been trying to think of other food I haven't had in a while
Jumpropeman: I can apparently buy a random single donut
Jumpropeman: who knows what the mystery donut will be!
Jumpropeman: >ice cream cake
Jumpropeman: *looks at belly* have I sunk that low yet, will I eat cake without an occasion to celebrate?
Jumpropeman: labor day is soon right
Jumpropeman: strangely the search bar suggests Eskimo Pies but does not have them

Morose Sheep tries to improv and fails miserablly

Mach Sheep puts Maurice and Eugene on separate teams anyway

Gooper Blooper: I played a puzzle game with some of the worst music ever
SteelKomodo: whut D:
Gooper Blooper: you are not ready for how little this music fits Zoroark
SteelKomodo: D:
RubyChao: oh god

Gooper Blooper: I found the absolute nadir of the already-poor mario cartoons
RubyChao: oh my
Gooper Blooper: it is called Club Mario, and it was literally just The Super Mario Brothers Super Show, except they took out all the live action parts and replaced them with two totally radical skateboard dudes
Gooper Blooper: http://youtube.com/watch?v=FhHlhovepKw
iKomodo: D:
Gooper Blooper: early_nineties.avi
RubyChao: GRAB YOUR BOARD
RubyChao: hahaha "Although the segments were intended to replace the Mario and Luigi vignettes, DiC destroyed all tapes used for filming Club Mario."

RubyChao: ariel watches, left shocked
Gooper Blooper: Have I mentioned ariel has the worst allies
Gooper Blooper: because Ariel has the ​worst​ allies
RubyChao: who else was on her list of allies?
Gooper Blooper: I forget but it definitely came up before with something dumb
RubyChao: oh yeah, this
Gooper Blooper: oh yeah, that's right, good work chao
RubyChao: why did i just picture ariel facing off against a bunch of CEOs
RubyChao: "Yeah, well I have allies too!"
RubyChao: pan over to the Campbell Kids and the Club Mario hosts
Gooper Blooper: and the wheelers
RubyChao: "...As I was saying, I can take all of you on by myself!"
