I honestly thought you were going to say 'As someone who currently works a grocery store the correct answer is all of the above because it doesn't matter what you call them, they are just going to end up scattered across the parking lot anyway.'

I'm f-ing stealing this now. And just to add fuel to a needless fire, I have heard people say 'grab a cart' and 'grab a basket' at my store. They are shopping carts and hand baskets, respectively.

Jinxing it but apparently I have the 4th off this year making it the first holiday-but-we-are-still-open-because-screw-it holiday in like 18 years that I've had off without specifically requesting it off. I'm going to sleep in and then probably do laundry because I keep putting it off. Then go to bed by 7p since I have to be up by 5:30a the next morning.

Not technically surprised. The Infinity Castle is itself fairly compact if you stop to think about it but a lot happens. Trying to make it a proper season would either be a good longer season [ which not many companies are willing to pull off anymore due to budgets ] or a weird truncated version that makes you long for the days of 3 episodes of screaming to power-up so you could at least build up an emotion. Three movies make it maybe a 12 episode equivalent with each 1/3 squarely focused on very specific sequences. And yes, I do think they should air on Toonami because I'm a weird completionist. Just please don't end up scheduling them over the Labor Day holiday because that's the one holiday I don't always make it to a tv in time for a good marathon.

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.

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.
