Or “Sport Billy”? Remember That?

I’ve been asking if you remember more obscure cartoons I used to watch in the past few days. Keeping this going, do you remember Sport Billy?

(Sorry, just the intro. I couldn’t find a whole episode in English available online, just Greek, Spanish, Arabic, and other languages.)

I barely even remember this one. I just remember that ship of his and that magic gym bag where he had a bunch of toys that could grow into real versions of the object when needed (as well as an episode where the villain replaced that bag with a fake). I don’t remember much more than that, but I used to watch it when I was a kid.

How About “Drak Pack?” Remember Them?”

Whether or not you remember Bananaman, do you remember Drak Pack? I used to watch this when I was in preschool.

Does Anyone Remember “Bananaman?”

Does anyone remember Bananaman?

I Got A Shout Out!

I got a shout out! A friend of mine (Christian Dzadek)��is living in China and does a Youtube show about street food (as well as culture, language, and other interesting things there) called��Street Food. I enjoy the show quite a bit and always share the link when a new episode pops up on Facebook. The friend who does the show gave me a shout out in the newest episode (6.12 Season 6 Viewer Mail) because of that:

Check the show out. Watch it, comment, consider supporting the show through the Patreon page, and share the show around. Maybe you’ll get a shout out too.

Proof That God Answers Prayers

This article just proved to me that God answers prayers. Amusingly, she/he/it does not always apparently answer them positively.

According to the article, Hiram Jimenez bent down over his sizzling plate of hot fajitas at Applebee’s in order to pray. The grease popped at that moment and Hiram was burned on his face, neck, and arms. Clearly, God was answering Jimenez’s prayer in a negative fashion. Clearly.

“Dear Lord: Thank you for this food.”

“Dear Hiram: I hate you and didn’t have anything to do with giving you those fajitas. That was your server. If it were up to me, you’d have starved. In fact…take this!”

Proof, clear and convincing. This is yet another reason why Discordians do not pray. It’s far too dangerous.

Oh, and apparently a court decided that Hiram couldn’t hold Applebee’s legally responsible for the fact that he was foolish enough to bow his face over a sizzling plate of greasy fajitas, even if it was for the purposes of prayer. That’s what the article��is actually about, but I didn’t think that was as significant as the religious implications.

This Is Kind Of How I’m Feeling Today

This is kind of how I’m feeling today.

Does it make you as anxious as it does me?

I Also Hate Selling My House

I mentioned recently (several times) that I hate moving. I hate getting ready to move and I hate moving itself. You know what else I hate? Selling my house.

Granted, I’ve got much less reason to complain than some. I also have the invaluable help of some really dynamite people. It would be way, way worse without their help. I’d be lost.

Still, I hate selling my house. Just wanted ya’ll to know.

Something To Think About For The 2016 Presidential Election

People are really starting to talk about the 2016 presidential election. Talk has begun before this, but things are really starting to heat up now. As part of that, there’s just one thing I want you all to remember. There has never been a safer time in history to vote for Richard Nixon.

My Last Guess Is Birdman Enterprises

Okay, my last guess is��Birdman Enterprises.��Birdman Enterprises��was a Canadian aircraft manufacturer of hangliders and ultralight aircraft between the 70s and 80s. Either they won best picture this year or I give up.

There’s just too many Birdman out there for me to get this right. I give up. I don’t even care about the Oscars anyway. It’s not like I’m going to look this up.

Or Could It Have Been Lincoln J. Beachey?

Or could��Lincoln J. Beachey��be the winner of the Oscar for best picture in 2015? He was a famous pioneering aviator sometimes known as the Master Birdman. Maybe the Academy decided he was cooler than any movie that came out this last year.
