We can deport Yogi back to Canada now.

Jellystone National Pawk. A westful wetweat.

Jellystone. We're going to be plunged into a decade of poor animation. Fortunately we've been led by bad cartoon characters for years so we won't notice much difference.

what next? YELLOWSTONE?

Thanks, dead person.

congratulations to all survivors of the first half of 2020.

21 for me, but after numerous repetitions I got it down to 17 and a half.

I transform in six steps from human to human sitting on my ass at the computer and back again!

x-x when in vehicle mode we can travel much F A R T H E R-

Because despite the fact that we can travel around the world in the time it takes to get a good nights sleep and a couple of meals: people rarely wander more than 25 miles away from home for the duration of their lives.

I don't know how many days that trip takes - especially while sightseeing - but explaining they're 3936 kilometers (2445 miles) apart gives an idea, paradoxically because it is too large to easily picture.

Aye.  When I catch lay people discussing miles and not how long the trip takes, it is in an attempt to stress how far away something is... like NYC to LA.

But I can imagine 45 *minutes* easily.

I can imagine a mile, it's a distance I've run. I can't really imagine 45 miles.

I think there's also an element of the thing where things that are much bigger than us all blur together.

If you're not, then you're more concerned with how long it takes.  Actual distance doesn't tell you that very well.  Besides traffic and road conditions, you'll need to know what kind of driving (city/interstate/rural/etc.).

Distance matters if you're being paid by the mile.

Canadians are the same way, for the most part. If you're driving somewhere far, especially, it helps you plan out the day more than a distance in KM would.

We use the time it takes to get someplace because that is what is relevant to us.

Because even we can't figure out miles half the time.

it's a big country with a lot of empty space. between our citizens' ears.

Why do most Americans measure distance by hours of driving?

And as a result the world's lone blu-ray release of the film, an Australian disc that came out 7 years ago, now goes for hundreds of dollars on eBay. Thanks Disney.

Well, they censored Daryl Hannah's butt in Splash

maybe New Mutants is too bad even for D+.

X-Men films are coming to Disney+ next month. But will they censor Hugh Jackman's butt?

Pft.

Behold! Night Strike Galvatron!

I will grant you a recolored body, and recolored troops to command.

I don't want to be reissued. This body sucks, I wanna be updated.

I definitely don't intend to be reissued. Nobody would buy me.

will anybody else attempt to be reissued?

*Gasp* Decepticons re-writing history to serve their own needs?!?!

The whole point of the DJD is that they're fanatical Megatron fanboys (especially Tarn) to the point of having their own headcanon taking priority of the actual canon, simply speaking.

They didn't know the war was over until later. And then they denied it anyway.

"He's comin' right for us!"

was that even still in effect once the war ended?

According to Roberts, soldiers can ignore the order to spare Whirl if he's directly threatening them. But mostly the DJD were out of their heads on Nuke and not really caring much at the time.

Also, they were hopped up on goofballs at the time.

Cause it was whirl. He opened his (non-existant.) gob at the just the right time to piss somebody off. Or, so I assume.

If Whirl was off limits why did the DJD kill him?

That sounds about right. I actually didn't get into it until the IQ expansion came out (which saved me a bit of expense)

Weird question (and sorry for so many shouts): did Overpower really release in August of '95?  I could have sworn I attempted to play it with a classmate who shouldn't have been a classmate by that point.

So... I don't have all my cards still somewhere. XP I still play Pokémon via the PTCGO, and I've been doing Card of the Days over on Pojo (on and off) since 2013.

For both financial, personal, and practical reasons, all my collectibles had to go about 10 years ago: action figures, comic books, card games, RPG books, video games.

I've still got all my cards, somewhere; I had a pretty decent collection. Still have the Japanese Digimon CCG, too. Glad I never got into Magic; way too pricey

Technically, Overpower was my first TCG... except I never, ever learned how to play it, or understood that booster packs contained different cards than the Starter Decks.

Can't forget what you didn't know in the first place.

Ah yes, Overpower. Who could forget the expansion where they added a new stat and you had to re-collect your heroes all over again.

Counterpoint, when was the last time you spent money on Overpower?
