"What? No! The Mighty Monarch's colors are maroon and marigold, not the Crimson f-ing Tide."

Exchange rate is easier to deal with if you just exchange currencies at the border before heading on to your vacation destination. Using a card internationally often carries extra fees per transaction and sometimes the cards wouldn't read because whatever bank was holding the card wasn't on whatever they needed to be for random charges across the border. And because of counterfeit traveler's checks, a lot of places aren't taking those anymore. So cash is better and faster. You are told it's $3 American for a cheeseburger, you pull out three dollar bills American and it's all good. I grew up on the border. I still have $2 bills with robins on them somewhere.

This. And the pen doesn't work, at least not as much as people think it does. It can only tell you if the bill is printed on something common. It can't tell you if the $100 bill is actually a $1 bill that's been chemically bleached and reprinted because the pen will say the paper is legit. Many places have blacklight machines that cause the embedded color-coded stripes in the bill to glow. Different bills have different colors and the strips are in different places for each denomination.

All the internets to mahala_la_la - she found the Swim.Com interview with Jon! I'm currently reworking the whole thing into an easier format to be posted directly in here [with the link to the archived bits for those wanting to walk the nostalgia] . Hoping to get everything done by Thursday at the latest.

GO TEAM VENTURE! The Art and Making of the Venture Brothers is FINALLY out! Suck it, Rick & Morty art book [yes, even you, alternate glow-in-the-dark cover R&M art book that is kinda cool looking and scares my cat] . This monster is 375 pages of tiny, three column infos and art everywhere covering all the way through Season 6 so it's as up-to-date as possible without having it pushed back yet another 3 years. Get it now!

That recording is a potato.

Campbell's chicken stock.

Balloon snob.

Two holer. No popping.

Bullcrap. I've seen your crocheted serial killer dolls. You're a Chucky factory just waiting to unleash on the board denizens.

I'm getting a full French press of coffee going right now. Y'all drive me to drink and I don't even have a banhammer.

So last year I kinda had a little fun for Hamburger Eel's google eye. Seriously, his eyes are perfect googles so I played with some pin backs for the hell of it and made a butt-ton of Hamburger Eye pins that I then gave away. This year my boredom decided to get even more creative and have fun with the puffer fish. Mom is the Golden Puffer and Th'Lump is my precious little fat boy over in the bubble tank. I had a little fun with the designing and making of them and now they are all ready to go. I'm going to be handing them out to anyone interested while down in Atlanta during Dragon Con along with a bunch of other [as] related things just for the hell of it. Since there's been interest in them, I'm posting the pics here because photobucket holds pics hostage now and I can just sticky pics directly in here. Early pic because I didn't know if the final resining would affect the pics. Final pic of final pins. The details are hand painted on using cat whiskers because of how small everything is. And this is just for the cringe factor should someone see this. I've gotten grief for small handwriting and use of scented wax seals for entertainments.

SHOES ARE PRISONS FOR FEET!

We doing old pics? Really? I can break y'all with 'old' .

That one is going to grow up to have major cattitude. Frickin' tabby babbies.

Well shit. I was fairly positive that Jon had been one of the board guests during Swim.Con 2011 but the internet search of snapshots of those boards is shoddy at best and I couldn't locate the stuff I wanted. I wanted to bring the transcription from that user-run interview thread over here. F-ing history purging assholes. I'm looking at you, Lazzo. just because you suck at 'internet' doesn't mean chunks of it should be jettisoned.

WANT NEW KITTEN PICS MEOOOOWW!

Should have sneezed on her and then asked what meds she'd be taking for herself.

Do they know what virus or did they play WebMD roulette and pick generic virus from a choice of virus, Space AIDS, or lupus?

That excuse may have worked the first time. But that was a long time ago, young lady. You watch too much more and it'll turn your armpits French.

Bitchcakes peed on my kitty slippers during the Litterbox Wars. I was going to replace them at some point because they were dirty and flat but still. And now she ran away with the spa slippers I was using in the meantime. One of them is missing completely. The other one she is stretched out on top of, snoring away. She is waiting for me to walk into the kitchen in my barefeet and step on her damn precious sands she blasted out of the box. Brat.

Your mom needs to cut your allowance and put the blocker back on the internets. You are too young to be watching that smut.

Tell her you are only 12 and if she pokes them they'll never bloom or something.

This is the new home of the old community that was once the [asmb] . It's official to the community, it's unofficial to the corporation. If they would like, they can sponsor the place but they can't have any controlling influence over it because we already lived through that mess.
