flea market montgomery: we have the furniture

[Slurpee]

einstein said e=mc²
mc²=mcc, which is roman numerals for 1,200

so einstein was saying e is equal to one thousand, two hundred
this is incorrect. if we put e into a calculator and hit the equals sign, we can see that e=2.7182818
so einstein was wrong.

does this mean einstein was a dumbass? not at all! he still revolutionized the way we think about math and numbers, and helped create an important stepping stone on the way to more correct equations, such as .9999...=1

I was approached (read: private messaged) this morning by one of the hosts of that Star Trek podcast about the possibility of producing a series of animated shorts for their YouTube channel, with a premise of what I gathered to be the three hosts as a bridge crew of a starship. Had a half hour conversation before I left for work about the feasibility, estimated script lengths, what kind of rate I would expect in compensation- logistical type stuff. He's not the primary host, so he said he would talk it over with the other two and get back to me. Don't want to get my hopes up too high but the prospect of creating a Star Trek animated series as a side job is pretty exciting.

important development:

hey peter remember the time I had that song stuck in my head and eventually figured out it was the monsters' song from Troll?

I realized recently (about 3 weeks ago) that I might have actually been thinking of Cemetery Polka by Tom Waits. they have a similar attitude

here are the opening lyrics to Cemetery Polka:

Uncle Vernon
Uncle Vernon
Independent as a hog on ice
He's a big shot down there at the slaughterhouse
He plays accordion for Mr. Weiss

now, "Uncle Vernon" is the real name of the popular character Uncle Pork Cracklins from "Harry Potter and the Hippopotamus" (1995)
and what is the name of the main character of the movie Troll?
that's right, it's Harry Potter

what does this mean?
well, I've run all the numbers and considered every contingency, and the answer is: nothing. it dosnt mean amything

they really glued a mac to a mac and called it the max

[PhantomCatClock]

Poly just dropped the first draft of the new collab on the discord, #the-collab-co-lab

probably waiting until it's set in stone to make a forum thread but go take a peek, forum-exclusives

[RobClock]

I need to mow the lawn but it's 32 degrees and it's going up to 35 degrees and it will be just as hot tomorrow and then Wednesday it's gonna rain


I wish I could pay someone $20 to cut my grass

in the pokemon lore, cubone has a dead mother, and, we don't care about the dad. nobody's ever even mentioned him

[Slurpee]

I guess we assume he's either also dead and we just don't care as much or he's a deadbeat

but I think it's nice to imagine that maybe after the whole lavender town fiasco cubone just lives happily with its dad
which, according to its breeding group, could be a snorlax.

imagine that. big ol snorlax dad

[Slurpee]

(I am putting aside, as axiomatic, the fact that the entire thing kinda makes no sense. the lore for cubone was clearly written as if cubone was a single individual pokemon, even though they're an entire species, and the adults of the species have like a weird evolved version of the skull for a head, and the individual cubone's mother, the ghost you see in lavender town with the silph scope, is clearly an adult of the species, and you can't have an entire species where each individual can produce at most one offspring before dying, they wouldn't be able to propagate, that's just math. (I had this same problem with the facehugger episode of richard and mortimer))

[PhantomCatClock]

maybe cubones mate like salmon



also wasn't it supposed to be the thing in kangaskhan's pouch

like, i know it turned into a whole huge thing with cartoons and comics but the people writing it the first time probably thought they were making a one-off game. a 2560x3440 world.

[Slurpee]

I think the kangaskhan thing was a fan theory that was never confirmed

also yeah, they were just making a gameboy game and probably had no idea it would become what it did and this one tiny aspect of it was probably... idk I don't want to say it was half-baked, but it's like mythological. it makes no sense in the same way that greek myths make no sense. I'm not completely sure what I mean by that but it feels true

[VCRClock]

[PannacottaClock]

actually they never say in the game that it WEARS its mother's skull they say "aww you have your mother's skull" like you would say about eyes
