Lantern7

Tonight is the night!!! I'm thinking five guys reach Stage Four, and Drew get the $1 million.

The president doesn’t know what he’s talking about. There’s a news flash. It is good that John manages to shine light on a process most Americans don’t know about (even when they say that do). And John’s bias is welcomed in this case. In other news, Putin has rappers on his side, FBN people suck, and Joe Kenda is a scary motherfucker. Good to know. Holy cow, It does exist. Maybe there could be one you can spin on a turntable as it frantically waves at you.

Anybody else keeping up. Way too many moving parts for me. Too many dead ninjas to cover. At least the White Zetsu guys aren't really supposed to be individual.

Nice to see that Konahamaru AND his friends grew up to be splendid ninjas in their own right. Udon had allergy troubles, but he made it work. Good for him. I don’t think he got a raw deal with the genin assigned to him. They can learn from each other, and maybe Udon can stop Iwabe to stop all those manly tears. Byakuya Gang arc is over. That was getting tiresome, mostly because of the leader. “I tricked this kid into blindly following me! And now that I no longer need him, I’m cutting loose and not getting ANY comeuppance!! MWAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!! Say, what is that weird orange flash?” Cut to Naruto on the train tracks, all “Yara yara daze,” because he can’t believe that guy was so one-note. Seriously, Naruto never got promoted to chunin? At all?!?

Caught the bit I missed last week, with the death of Hoover Deuce. ”Chief? Have I got a story for you! This here World is deep in that gumbo! Y’see- . . . yes, this is a Southern accent. Aside from that there Kraut, who don’t got an accent? Hang on, the familiar-looking coffee guy looks to have got the drop on me.”

I have to share.

Apparently, DC Comics has a digital gen:Lock comics, and it will be seeing print as a seven-issue miniseries that debuts in November, along with RWBY. Here's the solicitation: And that's how I was spoiled on Dr. Weller's death Ah well. I just figured you'd be interested. Oh, and this came up on Toonami tonight: Man, David Tennant is something else, isn't he?

I think it's best to root for individuals, especially since there's a chance the team format could break apart. There are assholes/arseholes on both sides, and I don't consider this to be an "either/or" situation.

Meanwhile, Blonde Italian Cook Soma Takumi and his twin brother Isami bagged a duck. I can imagine the other students' reactions. "Wow, I was so stressed on failing and getting expelled, it did not occur to me to find a bird, strangle it, and prep it for cooking." As for Actual Soma . . . looks like he's going to fight for Megumi against a dickhead judge. In my head, anytime shit comes to a head, someone should just say "One, Two, Three, Four, I declare a Food War." Meh . . . probably doesn't rhyme in Japanese. ETA: Looked up the anime's Crowning Moments of Funny page on TVTropes. Hence the name corrections.

Teaser. Can you name the references?

At minimum, Paulie looked pissed off. I might be wrong on that, but I wouldn't say that he and Cara Maria share a brain. As for Johnny . . . he might be banking on everyone eventually playing for themselves. Either way, all he really has is his woody at Wes leaving the game that early. True, the positions were reversed last season, but I like Wes better because he's nowhere near as mean-spirited as Johnny, and he doesn't need the BMP teat to survive. He didn't seem to get off on Johnny's dismissal as Johnny did anytime Wes left. You can't imagine Wes hanging out behind Johnny during a field interview, making fun of him. In contrast, Jonny probably has asked to do that to Wes, while waving a "GOD HATES GINGERS" sign.

Had a realization yesterday . . . Green Arrow died at the end of COIE. Grant, it was the beardless Earth-2 version, but still . . . 🤷‍♂️

Maybe Superman dies, and the cover homages would be Crisis on Infinite Earths #6, with Supergirl and Superman swapping positions? Yeah, I don't know what was up with that headband. Because the Eighties, I guess. 🤷‍♂️

It's funny Sam did a bit on the president and golf. i just finished reading Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump by Rick Reilly. Great book, unless you want to avoid getting angry at that guy some more. Basically, he is the worst everywhere, including on the links. Sam should have back the bus over Rudy Giuliani some more. What a creep he is. I don't think she could top the time he was incoherent on a morning show. The display showed the time being "9:12," and Sam quipped that he usually faded "after nine-eleven." Nastiest thing she said, and that was the episode she referred to Ivanka as a "feckless c**t." But hey, Rudy deserves it.

How often does that happen? I mean, when a team gets a number of runs and hits that corresponds to the date the game was played. Gotta be a few times a year, right?

As much as I can heap insults upon Bear, "crybaby" isn't one of them. Speaking of the ursine asshole . . . how much you wanna bet he's gonna brag about "converting" Laurel? I'm still mad. As much as Wes kept running his mouth and showing off his petard, last night was pretty much the worst possible case coming true.

He’s basically Laurel’s property now, and she’ll rent him out to Johnny and Bear. Punishing Laurel would be a lot tougher. I can’t think of any Proving Ground where she wouldn’t have — at worst — even odds. She’s a physical threat, she’s not a dummy, and she only lost to Camila in IOTC because she was supposedly too hurt to compete in that finale. And if the US throws her in and she wins, she defects to the UK. Her cuddling up to Bear is basically the diarrhea on the shit cake that is this season. ETA: Had to fix a pronoun.

Nicole ain’t lookin’ too bad now, huh? At this point, I’m rooting for CT to go out in a blaze of glory, winning his third title along with Turbo. I know CT and Wes aren’t tight-tight, but I can imagine a mournful CT standing alone at night, pouring a bottle out for his Rivals 2 homie.

Without spoiling tonight's episode . . . how brutal was the ending for you guys? I'm putting it on the same level as Beth dragging Ruthie through the sand in Gauntlet 2. I am that irate. I know it's stupid, but it's true.

Fuck you, Laurel. I try to think well of her. I try to paint her as decent even as I called her "KIllbot." Well, the Killbot has a virus, and Wes paid the price. Yeah, I know that I compare Wes to Wile E. Coyote often because he probably considers himself a "Soooooper Genius!!!" I know he treats people he doesn't need like dirt. But what happened? Killbot put an idea in Krybaby's head. They override the will of their team, sending Wes in to face Bear. And fucking Bear wins, because apparently WOTW1 was too good, and the scales needed balancing. So now Bear is still in the game, he and Laurel can do whatever a Killbot and human slime do behind closed doors, and Johnny will have to sleep on his back because the erection he possesses makes that the only non-painful position. Fuck you, Laurel. Fuck you, Josh. Fuck you, Bear. Fuck you, Georgia, for that last dig at Wes. And fuck you, TJ, for going to Zach first for his vote.He fucking knew what would happen. Well, Wes is gone. He's full of himself, but he was way better than most of these assholes, and now he's gone. Fuck everybody. Honestly, the UK blows a win when locks get pulled off the wheel (both by Theo?), and Killbot and Krybaby take it upon themselves to negate the gift. And honestly, who the fuck needs anybody from Big Brother? They're all clowns. At least Paulie makes the halfhearted attempt to try and wipe the greasepaint off. Fuck off, Josh. Take your box of Kleenex and fucking GO. And now, we get Bear wanking off for two solid episodes. Yaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy. Fuck BMP for importing that wanker. "Grisly Bear" is more apt for him. Fuck everybody. Fuck myself for watching. FUCK. ETA: Fuck Johnny, just because If he wins a seventh title, I would be all for Wes to buy his house and put him out on the street.

Two quick teasers:

Two bits of news. One: DBS finale and marathon on September 28. Two: second season of One-Punch Man starts on October 12.

I don't think Sandra has an enlarged ego . . . though that is what I tell myself. I also think Rob isn't too bad in real life, but I'll probably be calling him an overrated jackass by the third episode (at the latest).

I'm thinking three minutes was too long. The field could have been narrowed down if thirty seconds were subtracted. There were a few that stopped to catch their breath . . . and if someone does that on a Stage other than Three, that's not right. Also, if Snap Back hadn't been used, we probably wouldn't have double-digit ninjas going into Stage Three, even with Safety Passes.

How does one defend trophy hunting with a straight face? Even if there’s overpopulation (which probably never happens), you’d still come off as a prick. Also, you’d be on the same side as DJ and Eric. Nobody with a moral compass and an IQ above 60 wants that. Great piece from Dulce. “Chipping” people feels all sorts of wrong. Also: what would a Danny DeVito beach towel look like?
