17:00 on the clock ensures that the spaghetti in the pasta boat is done perfectly.

It's possible. I honestly thought I had seen every episode of Sailor Moon that aired on tv and I still have some of the old VHS released back in the 90's but this was one of those episodes that I never saw until things started to be rereleased in their entirety on DVDs/BluRay/Steel Box sets. I even have the apparently ultra rare Sailor Moon role playing manual around here that includes a complete listing of episodes 1-82 along with a notation if an episode was skipped in America at the time. Kind of sad it didn't go past episode 82 but it was published in 1999.

Naw, I realized that but just felt like pointing out the main reason this one didn't make the original cut when Sailor Moon made it to America the first time.

Ah yes, behold another of the 'banned' episodes. Trigger warning for this one - animal abuse.

...and no, this isn't like an innuendo thing. For once anyway. How do you deal with a banana? Do you cut the stem off with a knife and peel it from there? Do you cut it in half and peel from the cut? Do you just order it as an extra at Orange Julius and let them deal with it blender-style? I slash the stem with a fingernail and use the semi-attached stem as a pull-tab for the first peel. However... This topic came to me at lunch today when I saw how one of my co-workers dealt with the banana in her lunch. She smashed the everloving crap out of the end to start a split in the peel midway and then broke pieces off with her bare hands once the 'nanner was exposed. No one else seemed to notice but I felt like I was watching a murder. Discuss!...

In the pre-patriarchal/pre-monotheism societies, multiple 'husbands' was a thing mainly because property was often passed down the matrilineal side of things since that was the obvious parent/bloodline. It didn't matter who the father was because it was the mother that made the choice in the first place. When Angry Mountain War God tribe came storming through and started murdering any tribe they didn't like, they outlawed the old practices which basically meant anything female-in-charge had to be squished immediately. Having a harem of conquered women was acceptable because it was a way of claiming all the property of the conquered area for themselves. It also started the crap about how guys need to spread their seeds far and wide to ensure their personal tribe continues but women aren't worthy of anything but scorn if they aren't pure and property of some dude.

Bitchcakes 8.23.09-6.22.24

Hanging out on the bed watching Metalocalypse season 4 because it has a lot of Toki moments and she likes Toki.

I work tomorrow. I thought I had tomorrow off and worked Saturday but nope, my schedule was changed at some point. Normally having a Saturday off is a sacred thing [ it means two days off in a row usually and a full weekend no less ] but I had plans for tomorrow that really aren't the type that can be put off forever without consequences. Summary - I have a full weekend free and I'm crabby about it.

Bitchcakes deciding to hold still for a standing pic before going back to bed. She just had her meds and hand feeding.

The reason I could take a punch before I entered kindergarten and the reason I needed a cane when I got to college is long dead. I told him what he'd die of and got beaten for it. Then again, he'd beat me just for existing most of the time. The first born is supposed to be a boy after all. He was told that the next time I show up in the area, it would be for his death. He died one day after I was brought back to the old stomping grounds of exactly what I told him of decades earlier. His soul is currently banned from the main house and stuck in the red garage because f him.

Red stains and it just pisses me off.

The only thing that I ask is to please retain the blue liquid for those frickin' maxi pad commercials. It's blue for a reason! Also these are now a thing and I keep getting e-mails about buying some.

Flag dragging apparently is only patriotism when it's some red hat wearing moron attaching it to their extra large truck. Flying a big flag off the back of your truck blocks the view for both yourself and others around you while driving. You can't see if someone is coming up in the lane you are about to merge into because there's a big stupid flag flapping in the way. At stops, depending on the way the wind is blowing, it can snap into the faces of pedestrians just walking by on the sidewalk or at cyclists if there's a bike lane there. There's a reason that sort of display is supposedly only for parades - parades have specific routes, everyone knows its happening, and only registered participants are on the street at that time. Flag dragging like that also scums up the flag with road debris and exhaust. The placement lends it to potentially get caught on the tire too which will rip the flag, drag it across the road and potentially get it wound up in the axel - snapping that. Or it will get wound up in the axel of the poor idiot stuck behind the flag dragger.

I was fine with it until the nipple.

It was a spider. It's Australia - it was DEFINITELY a spider.

Oh yeah, its an arts and crafts store. I'll get some lump ooze in looking for help and they'll show some tator-fone pic of the street craft in question and want to know if I can get all the stuff they need to make it. 'What exactly is that blurry glare?' 'It's a 3D miniature of the entire Milky Way created from filigree'd silver horse hair wire and handblown seed beads carefully polished with yak hide on imported French hooks. I need all that stuff for a pair of earrings and also I need you to make them for me and I only have $10 and a linty mint to pay for it all so don't screw with me on the price.' I don't hide things but I do keep a general eye out for things with horrible flaws/spelling errors that managed to make it past quality control to try to buy one before I either have to make a quality report on it myself or a recall comes through. Bad idea products are always the best. I have a little ceramic ghost around here somewhere playing with his nipple for crying out loud.

Like 3ngag3 said, it was one of those episodes that was skipped. The reason it was skipped though was because of the bad behavior illustrated by the possessed kids like flipping the teacher's skirt to show her underpants, breaking windows and attempted sexual assault [ ie grabbing Usagi and threatening to forcibly give her a kiss ]. Episode 5 was also skipped for the same type of reason - bad behavior, only this time in the form of animal abuse.

Ah, one of the 'banned' episodes sees the light of prime time. XD

Almost every day I get someone who either thinks we are hiding all the stuff they need in the back somewhere [ our back is currently rapidly filling up with christmas shit so nice try ] or insisting that I must know exactly what they need for their personal project as well as how to make it and why can't I make it for them???? Street fair and craft show seasons are the worst because the place fills up with idiots who went to those things, saw something they are totally sure they could make for less and then proceed to show up at the store to demand I pull all their project shit together like I've done nothing but cruise those same street fairs and craft shows all day. I'm at an 8-10 hour shift, I don't have the free time to research your project. If you can't be bothered to research your new hobby first you should have just bought the whatever that caught your eye in the first place.

I don't have such a thing but this was the first thing I played at full volume after I found a new job after being laid off from a previous job I had put 6.5 years into. Screw the old, in with the new type attitude.

My aim isn't good enough to ensure a proper pissening without being in direct sweeping range of a half-asleep rage swatter.

Honestly, they can't do shit to you as a 'customer' unless you are in there actively being a real horrible. And even then, they could only kick you out in most areas. And if they were stealing hours from you, they were either doing it to everyone [ massive fraud ] or deliberately choosing victims to steal from [ discriminatory fraud ]. Either way, since it sounds like an actual investigation is being launched, someone is shitting themselves bald right not and its very likely one or more of the people that you wouldn't mind sharting their last follicle away.

Sell the stuff they send? Just kidding, the stuff they are sending is probably ethernetted directly to them so they can follow along on all the things you do on their property, including e-mail and internet searches. So having a separate nice computer for all your personal things is still the way to go.

Nope. It lives in your stuff now and forever. Bing also has an autobot that answers search questions while links load that may or may not apply. I should start keeping track of all the searches that it decided to answer 'I can't answer this at this time'. I do remember one of them was 'what is the anime where the muscle guy's shirt flies off every time he flexes'.
