Just an innocent Mad Scientist trying to take over the Tri-State Metropolis
Mandy strained his abs trying to suppress his laughter.

And that was only because they had the carry dummy of Cary.
(For the kids: Andre's back was in bad shape from all the wrestling, and his sheer size, he could not carry Cary without hurting his back further, so they made a lightweight dummy to protect Andre's back.)

Congratulations, you just perfectly described the Futures market.
Everyone gambling, not on this poker hand, but on the NEXT hand, the one yet to be dealt.

And poor Mandy COULDN'T be banished, he had to stand there and take it. He sprained his abs trying to repress the laughter.
December 15, 2025 at 3:13 PM
Exactly.
Rob said three words to Billy before the Mirical Max scene, three words that would soon make Mandy Potemkin the only on set injury in the movie.

He said to Billy, "Forget the script."

I guess you have also never heard the song "Mellow Yellow" either.

Oh well, Sometimes the jokes land, sometimes they don't.

Now imaging that he ate the Calm-Calm No Mi, which gave him the power to drain strong emotions from people...

...and 4Kids recolored his outfit bright yellow and renamed the fruit the "Mellow Mellow" fruit.

Now the song is stuck in your head. You're welcome.

Even the "bad" pic is pretty good. He wouldn't look out of place in a crowd in One Piece, and THAT made it into Shonen Jump.
December 12, 2025 at 9:11 PM
That's a helluva candle.

(I still get the giggles whenever John Oliver brings up the "rat porn" he purchased. You probably know he has that pic in his opening credits.)

*A Dutch Auction goes in reverse, with the caller dropping the lot price in stages, and the bidders balancing "wait until the price drops more" with "there's nothing left to buy." It's used when there are a number of identical lots, like stacks of lumber, or bushels of tulips.

I think you are conflating "auction" with "lottery."
In a lottery, the winner is chosen at random. Buying more tickets increases your chance of winning. A "standard auction*" goes by bidders increasing their bids until no one wants to challenge the keader.

Hold up, Chick-fil-a stopped donating to the Salvation Army?

When did Chick-fil-a stop being 'quietly' anti LGBT+?

One word: Ooooooh, goals!
(I don't count the happt/jealous squee as a word.)

Oh, I get your point. Hexball has really made Willow stronk.
"Was Hunter's faceprint on this locker yesterday?"
"Nah, he and Willow bust have done some extra 'practice' after last night's game."
"At least he was smiling."
December 10, 2025 at 6:10 PM
Hunter passes for a witch, pointy ears, remember? There's no visual cue that he's really a Grimwalker. In fact, aside from their origin, Grimwalkers might be completely biologically compatible with Witches/Demons.
(I still think Witches are a subset of Biped Demons.)

So, Amity french kissing a witch girlfriend: no big deal, it's just kissing.
Amity kissing Luz in the exact same way: "What is going on? Is this some strange Human thing?"
December 10, 2025 at 4:01 PM
My headcannon is that while Witches and Demons understand the birds and the bees just fine, they just assume EVERYTHING about humans is weird and incomprehensible. Like how the young witches were terrified of a human alarm clock going off.

"Humans eat witch tonsils? And they claim that WE eat human babies raw! Such hypocrisy! Besides, only a fairy would eat raw human. It's much more civilized to bake them first...

...

...which we would never do these days, since the Human Realm and the Demon Realm are at peace."

Don't forget about the Lumity gossip.
"Did you hear where Lumity showed up last week? Tiny spotted them having a picnic in the field where they defeated Grom, and he swears Luz was trying to eat Amity's tonsils!"
