Random Thoughts: TMNT Edition

[Dejablue]

I can see that working.



Could something like this work? With the rope hanging off a belt?

[IndigoErth]

That's like what I was thinking, maybe a belt loop that can snap closed/open.

Begs the question what other celebrities have said worse or done just as bad things on Twitter. The problem with social media is if you make your voice heard with an unpopular opinion it'll always bring a rabid group of fans or people out to attack you. Not just jokes in poor taste (which I can understand getting in trouble over), actually having a different opinion.

Remember that “Marvel Rising”-type line I thought up a while back?

Now we have Prairie Dog, another good choice for it.

Just came across the fact that the girl who plays the oldest sister in Netflix's "A Series of Unfortunate Events" is the same kid who played the young Megan Fox, er, April, in the flashback in 2014. Already watched the first two seasons recently and hadn't a clue.

When a Syfy "article" tries to choose astrology signs for the TMNT but some seem way off from suitable and the site won't cooperate and let you sign in/up to comment... First world problems. The internet needs to stop fighting me.

Well, I'd just discovered that Ben Schwartz had said some ... rather unpleasant statements.

I ... don't know what to do with Rise! now.

Seperate the art from the artist.

I looked at his Tweets from the last month and I've seen nothing that's on level of Jason Biggs.

[Papenbrook]

I dunno, guys ...

He quoted Morgan Freeman ...

[IndigoErth]

What...



Anyway, 'Rise' doesn't have a random thread and the random merchandise thread isn't too often looked at/used these days, so I'll just mention it here. If anyone or their kids are interested in the 'Rise' boxed Valentines, save money and check Dollar Tree if you have that store. Just saw them in there today, I believe the same designs as the ones I saw at Walmart, just a no frills set sans the temporary tattoos.

If no Dollar Tree, maybe Dollar General would have it? I know for a fact that Dollar Tree's company bought Dollar General a while ago.

Can you stop being vague and just tell us what this is about?

[Leo656]

Yeah, really. Not to be mean, but the whole "I'm too triggered to even speak/type the words" gimmick isn't fun for the rest of us.

[Papenbrook]

I'm talking about this tweet.

Morgan Freeman has been accused of sexual harassment.

So, it's kind of disturbing to witness him quote someone so abhorrent.

[Leo656]

Unless Morgan ever actually said that, then the guy wasn't "quoting" him, he was simply making a joke. "Morgan Freeman Voice" jokes are public domain, regardless of what he did or didn't do. Whatever he's been accused of has zero to do with the fact that everything that he says sounds like he's reading the Bible as a bedtime story, and people happen to find it funny. It's going to stay funny no matter what happens next.

Tweet was funny. Some people talk funny, not making fun of that fact is disingenuous.

I still remember those FB memes where people mistook him for Nelson Mandela.

[Leo656]

Jesus, I can say at least a dozen things with that kind of setup, each one horribly offensive and therefore hilarious. But I'll tread on the side of the angels just this once.

I'm really trying my hardest to believe you're not just a super-elaborate troll.

That's a reference to a very common internet meme.

I wouldn't have thought anybody would take that as offensive.
