And Mighty Boosh.

Pst! The title is goofy in English because a creative decision was made to make it sound like both a play on D’n’D and a cooking show on public television, for example “Barefoot Contessa” or “Welcome to Homegrown!” instead of doing a direct calque of its Japanese name and calling it “Dungeon Meal.” Real clunker, huh?

Only if you’re one of those guys on YouTube with the channels that are downhill Hot Wheel racing series involving crafted storylines and intricately built miniature villages.

This is nothing new to me. I’ve been calling my brain dead asshole “good normal folk”conservative in-laws weird for decades.

Think your kids shouldn’t hear about sex until 18, provide no protection whatsoever and then go into deep grief when they get pregnant in their teens? Weird.

Think the Bible is in English because Jesus walked (yes, on water) to England and had it translated? Weird.

Think we failed in Iraq because we weren’t doctrinally stringent enough with our application of violence, right down to every child and bird (yes, that specific)? Weird.

Have your whole family vaccinated ASAP for COVID, but you think people with ADHD are likely influenced by demons as an explanation for their behavior, despite holding a master’s in nursing? Then change your mind on the vaccines when your kids wind up having ADHD and scramble into months-long fugue state inducing mental breakdown to try and save your babies? Weird.

Insist on buying guns for your kid who has about the most egregiously spastic cerebral palsy imaginable, all so he can defend his home, it’s okay, he watches his brother play the Fortnite! He know how they work!” Home BTW is a squalid dump no one in their right mind would chance breaking into because he’s neglected and won’t use help? Then when his older brother joins the Marines (imagine the stupidest reason why you’d join and you got it) you engineer the purchase of a class III firearm and silencer for a Christmas present to take with him to basic training—not allowed—despite your trailer home falling down around your ears and you complaining about money constantly as your kids have to skip meals? WEIRD!

Sorry for the dump. Had to get some stuff off the chest.

I believe they would call that a “salad” in Minnesota.

I hate to be a party pooper contrarian, but you can do this tour if you’re ever in Chicago. I heartily recommend it and the architecture riverboat tour!

Oh, no, nobody buying these things in the US can afford them. These things roll off the lot powered more because of subprime lending than gasoline.

Any ambulatory mecha would have massive motion sickness issues for the pilot whenever it walked. Suspending the operator in a fluid would possibly dampen the effects of bobbing around on the vestibular system and dampen shock from collisions or high-G turns. At least I imagine. I haven’t played Peace Walker but that’d be my reason for that to be in the design.

Dab your fingers on the produce like a stamp sponge. Works like a charm.

I don’t know. Saying “milk drinker” makes you sound like a total Melvin.

They are one of our more dollar-intensive ordnance delivery vectors.

I hear that and I just have to name some sort of mental illness as cause, though. There has to be a major interrupt in your processes to perform an action like that.
