I thought they didn’t like him because he robbed a bank in the beginning of Point Break.

I mean, when it comes to politics, I feel like I would be a libertarian, if it wasn't for the fact that most libertarian are pretty much the worst part of Nickelback, Slayer and Tool fans.

Ya, batteries are weird.


Also...I keep getting Tiktoks about how horrible of a president Regan was. But everybody seems to be basing it on the fact that he's responsible for stuff like Transformers and GI Joe. So you hate him based on the popular media of the time (some of the greatest fucking cartoons of all time), not any kind of actual political stuff?
Blaming Reagan became such a great pastime for some folks that Bob Golthwait, of all people, had this excellent joke:
Blaming Ronald Reagan for the state of the airline industry is like blaming Ronald McDonald when you get a bad cheeseburger.

People LOVE to hate Reagan for all sorts of weird shit. Probably to distract them from the fact that his lovely worship of trickle-down economics, now that's been bred in for a couple generations, has left a large chunk of this country feeling completely fucked left-right-center-and-sideways. And somehow, not having any fun with any of it.

But the economy is fine because Wallstreet and trickle-down and blah blah blah.

But sure, let's blame him for cartoons in the eighties. Toy ads for tots.

Is it possible that blaming him for non political stuff IS the joke? Like saying Hitler was a horrible dictator, and it’s inexcusable that he allowed the travesty of baggy shorts on otherwise fashionable German men.

Only thing I've ever heard about Hitler, aside from his occult obsessions, was that he was a truly shitty artist that fancied himself far better than he was.

But I like the shorts idea. The SS uniforms were tight though. Aside from the affiiliations.

@Crungy's profile picture has been living in my head rent free for so long. I recognized it, but absolutely could not put a name to it. Well last week I was couch ridden sick and I was rewatching some old AVGN episodes. That's when double dragon came on and it hit me like a truck going a 100 mph :lol:

He's like the only "I play an asshole in the internet" who is actually not an asshole.

My buddy and I regularly use his seven second long "aaaaaaaaassssssssss" sound clip. Classic.
The Pepsi Man episode and the one about the Bugs Bunny games had me in tears.

The nerd taking a shit on Bugs Bunny has been burned into my brain. That might have been the episode that got me into AVGN.

My favorite will always be the glitch gremlin and the Atari sports. Just the insane rant about football that just never ends gets me every time.

My Daughter: For social studies i have to do this crossword puzzle about the Civil War, but I’m stuck on one.
Me: tell me, I’ll see if I can get it.
Her: it says Uncle Tom’s, and it’s five letters.
Me: Cabin!
Her: what?! How do you know that?
Me: Warrant.
Her: what?
Me: (put on the song on my phone, skip to the chorus, bite my lower lip, narrow my eyes, and and thrust my head back and forth to the beat.)
Her:
Me:
Her: you can leave now.

My neighborhood was hit by a fucking tornado today. Luckily my house had none of minimal damage, but up the road half a mile there are homes and businesses gone, I consider myself super lucky. I just pulled off the highway to an absolute apocalypse scene of broken trees, smashed buildings, etc. it was so quick I had no idea it was a tornado when I was on the highway, when I got off I thought the exit had a building explode near it until I saw that it was the entire area. Fucking nuts. DMLS4AV2FBABJPZBGEEJYS72YQ.jpg 20230615_181638.jpg

Man that is gnarly, and really sad to see. Good to hear you and your home are alright though.
