<br />
I'm having a community barbecue for the 4th of July (250 years! old much? LOL)<br />
<br />
Anyway I'd love some music suggestions to add to the playlist. Would love some input as I'm not very hip to many songs myself. Something that really captures the holiday would be great, but I'm sure anything you suggest would be swell! XOXO.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="background-color: #ff9900;display: inline-block;"><span style="color: #741b47;" class="mycode_color">On an endless plane, divorced from both time and space The Oddball continued its ceaseless repetitions of empty gestures and empty patterns. The Oddball was perhaps the least of all of the Hosts. It was a matter of some contention whether it was sentient or whether it was a broken simulacrum of consciousness. It had once described itself as "a conglomeration of self and not-self looping, stringing, through the planes; an empty plurality made manifest". But nobody had been around to hear it describe itself as thus. <br />
<br />
Physically it was an enormous orange billiard ball with a large number 5, a fez and a multicoloured scarf wrapped tightly around itself. This shape was perhaps the only constant reliable aspect of itself, and even that seemed entirely arbitrary; worn only due to the fact that to exist in physical space you must have a physical form.<br />
<br />
There was no time here in this pocket of unreality, but it would not be entirely inaccurate to say that it had been doing its current activity forever. Step one: Hear about the existence of other Big Fights. Step two: Find eight entities. Step three: Bring them here and tell them they are now in a fight to the death. Step four: Throw them off into a universe somewhere. Step five: Go back to step one. Each cycle a discrete Mondo Ruction occurring somewhere out in the infinite probability space of the universe, and yet as it repeated and repeated, somehow even the infinite began to become full. Reality itself was beginning to twist and buckle under the strain. Time passed inconsistently. A creeping sense of artificiality seeped across dimensions, souring even worlds that managed to avoid The Oddball's attention.<br />
<br />
It was beginning to be a problem.<br />
<br />
It is impossible to say whether The Oddball understood the consequences of its actions. It did not seem to perceive the perpetually expanding sour possibility space it sat at the centre of. It certainly was not keeping abreast of its many purposeless conflicts it had initiated. If it had such a thing as a self it seemed only interested in creating hollow instantly discardable simulacra of the works of those more purposeful than itself. There was no acknowledgement of how the strings of existence strained and broke by its ceaseless hand. <br />
<br />
As always a selection of eight entities snatched up from throughout the whole of probability space stood in a rough circle looking at one another. They were held in place by the most powerful force in the known universe: narrative obligation. They stared at the billiard ball, perhaps one of nature's most incongruous shapes. <br />
<br />
"We have taken you for a battle to the death." It said, though it might be more accurate to say that all the sounds that made up that sentence had just coincidentally have happened (causeless) in a coincidental sequence that made it almost sound like a sentence. It was unnervingly both intentional and unintentional and it made the contestants' skin crawl (such as those of them that had skin). <br />
<br />
In lieu of any actual introduction, the contestants find information shunted scattershot into their minds, random haphazard facts about those who stood around them.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #FF56FF;" class="mycode_color">The Ovipath, the creature from the vibeplane, the squirming constantly reforming mass that crystallizes and reshapes itself in response to perception from sentient beings. It is a perception fish seated on a separate layer of reality that would normally only perceive the standard dimensions of human experience as a footprint beneath its actual self. To have its perceptions squashed down to inhabit only those human dimensions is as disorientating as it is insulting. <br />
<br />
Its true form (the self that exists on that higher level) is perhaps impossible to describe in terms that map to the human understanding of physicality but let's say all of its limbs are worms and allow ourselves to stop thinking of the Ovipath for now.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #FF4136;" class="mycode_color">Grey, the living supreme paragon of motorcycability. The shining ideal that all motorbikes were built to try to capture. She is the platonic ideal of the Motorcycle. She is freedom. She is wonder. She is all glistening cylinders of metal and the wind in your hair. To see her is to fall in love with the horizon. Humans have tried again and again to build her in effigy and every motorcycle that exists is a pale imitation to her glossy curves and perfect angles. She is beautiful and if it would be so easy to dedicate your life to her, just one slip and you're hers forever.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #888888;" class="mycode_color">PROC13372, a procedure rod. A strange shimmering skyfish, propelled by undulating fins. They shine in a whole rainbow of greys. Procedure rods are a common sight in the heart of the plane of order, where they exist as living conduits for Law itself. This strict adherence to the universal force of order flows through them; a living thrumming heritage passed down through the generations from a time when Law was a physical entity that walked among them.<br />
<br />
PROC13372 is what would be considered a heretic, one who would use the otherworldly force of Obligation to twist the force of Law into a tool that can be used to control others. Obligation trails from their body like rotting red algae.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #9A00B2;" class="mycode_color">The Sparxle Chicks - Mariposa, Melinda, Magenta, Marissa and Magnolia. A girl band from downtown New Town.</span><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Best TV Magazine Wrote:</cite><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">New Sparxle Adventures S05E01 - A Pet Shop To Remember</span> - <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Saturday 5PM only on Veepo</span>. The Sparxle Chicks return for a new season of New Sparxle Adventures. Following the destruction of their used record store at the end of the last season, how will the girls support themselves, and each other, in this time of crisis, and will they ever get that recording deal with Megaplex Records?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">New Sparxle Adventures S05E02 - The Manor, The Meet-Cute and the Monarch</span>  - <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Sunday 5PM only on Veepo</span>. Magenta and Melinda stay overnight at Aunt Mildred's so called haunted mansion. Mariposa meets a cute new girl when she volunteers at the local hospital. Marissa and Magnolia recover the Emperor's Blade with Magnolia's ex Michaela, but will the allure of the blade tear the girls apart?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #C10300;" class="mycode_color">Stringbox - Dragon Of The Strands. She is not a traditional dragon in shape or form, resembling much more a frankly gargantuan heap of knotted string and rope, at least a mile high and several miles wide. She slithers, her body too big to move entirely in unison. Entire bunches of strands gyrate and pulse out of sync with the enormous mass of bounded twine. She entangles all that she comes into contact with and binds it within her bulk, making it a part of her living treasure horde.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #17B529;" class="mycode_color">The Saint of Ideas. They were born as the physical manifestation of the Last Angel's Final Thoughts, and that is a heavy mantle to bear. They are a sort of de facto messiah, a being whose duty is to be present and be the living spark of inspiration for a doomed society to help save themselves from their inevitable end. They appear as a glowing dark green humanoid silhouette with the distinctive shape of a twin tube light bulb instead of a head. Somehow, right now, despite the immobilisation The Oddball has enforced upon them, they cheerily preach to the other contestants about the virtues of mindfulness.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #419DC1;" class="mycode_color">Gobbie is a Gabbo, a little brown fuzzy ball of hair with enormous eyes. She is a descendant of Gobrick, one of the original companions of Cruc; their species mythic hero. When their world collided with the Idworld the Gabbos were captured and put to work by the evil capitalistic Glikkons. For years the Gabbos hoped for the return of their hero to rescue them from this new enemy and yet he did not appear. While others maintained their faith Gobbie took matters into her own hands, shaping herself to become the hero the Gabbos needed. Gobbie may only be a small brown ball of fur, but she is remarkably strong and unnervingly fast. And she bites.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;display: inline-block;"><span style="color: #FF56FF;" class="mycode_color">Faraxetty Strigantonio is an artificial man. He is a straw man in an old black suit embodying a kind of unsettling emptiness. On the old burlap sack that is his head is drawn a simple friendly face, but even this friendly approachable visage cannot mask his unsettling nature. He moves with a stiffness and a hollowness. It is important to know that he is a referent yet to be coupled with a signifier, his true nature yet to be solidified. He can be whatever you need him to be, so long as you don't necessarily need to trust him.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ff9900;display: inline-block;"><span style="color: #741b47;" class="mycode_color">They are shown each other to each other and they are given the boilerplate speech of why they are here. Seven rounds, seven locations, killing one another until there is only one left. It falls out of The Oddball's mouth as though it means something, as though it isn't a creeping rot out-populating thought.<br />
<br />
Reality ripples around them and Round One begins. They are in the Love Hotel. A tourist destination situated within the thoughtrealm of Love, a physical plane of intoxicating, overwhelming love. It is a sickening sensation, like being submerged in emotional treacle, one that can with time warp and twist the very fabric of a person in unexpected ways.</span></span>]]></description>

<br />
<span style="color: #C10300;" class="mycode_color">Stringbox - Dragon Of The Strands. She is not a traditional dragon in shape or form, resembling much more a frankly gargantuan heap of knotted string and rope, at least a mile high and several miles wide. She slithers, her body too big to move entirely in unison. Entire bunches of strands gyrate and pulse out of sync with the enormous mass of bounded twine. She entangles all that she comes into contact with and binds it within her bulk, making it a part of her living treasure horde.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #17B529;" class="mycode_color">The Saint of Ideas. They were born as the physical manifestation of the Last Angel's Final Thoughts, and that is a heavy mantle to bear. They are a sort of de facto messiah, a being whose duty is to be present and be the living spark of inspiration for a doomed society to help save themselves from their inevitable end. They appear as a glowing dark green humanoid silhouette with the distinctive shape of a twin tube light bulb instead of a head. Somehow, right now, despite the immobilisation The Oddball has enforced upon them, they cheerily preach to the other contestants about the virtues of mindfulness.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #419DC1;" class="mycode_color">Gobbie is a Gabbo, a little brown fuzzy ball of hair with enormous eyes. She is a descendant of Gobrick, one of the original companions of Cruc; their species mythic hero. When their world collided with the Idworld the Gabbos were captured and put to work by the evil capitalistic Glikkons. For years the Gabbos hoped for the return of their hero to rescue them from this new enemy and yet he did not appear. While others maintained their faith Gobbie took matters into her own hands, shaping herself to become the hero the Gabbos needed. Gobbie may only be a small brown ball of fur, but she is remarkably strong and unnervingly fast. And she bites.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;display: inline-block;"><span style="color: #FF56FF;" class="mycode_color">Faraxetty Strigantonio is an artificial man. He is a straw man in an old black suit embodying a kind of unsettling emptiness. On the old burlap sack that is his head is drawn a simple friendly face, but even this friendly approachable visage cannot mask his unsettling nature. He moves with a stiffness and a hollowness. It is important to know that he is a referent yet to be coupled with a signifier, his true nature yet to be solidified. He can be whatever you need him to be, so long as you don't necessarily need to trust him.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ff9900;display: inline-block;"><span style="color: #741b47;" class="mycode_color">They are shown each other to each other and they are given the boilerplate speech of why they are here. Seven rounds, seven locations, killing one another until there is only one left. It falls out of The Oddball's mouth as though it means something, as though it isn't a creeping rot out-populating thought.<br />
<br />
Reality ripples around them and Round One begins. They are in the Love Hotel. A tourist destination situated within the thoughtrealm of Love, a physical plane of intoxicating, overwhelming love. It is a sickening sensation, like being submerged in emotional treacle, one that can with time warp and twist the very fabric of a person in unexpected ways.</span></span>]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[In the 1973 film Charlotte's Web there is a song sung by Wilber and Charlotte shortly after the birth of Jeffery the gosling, where they sing about how all the farm animals aren't so different from one another.<br />
<br />
You can (but don't need to) watch the original song "We've Got Lots in Common" here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ4ooGPAfps" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ4ooGPAfps</a><br />
<br />
This particular film beat was not penned by original author, E.B. White, so there had to have been a writer's room meeting to decide what lines they should use to talk about the things that the Charlotte (an orb weaver spider) has in common with Jeffery (a tiny baby gosling).<br />
<br />
But the the very first line settled on was: "You've got feathers, I've got skin, but both our outsides hold us in."<br />
<br />
Which I feel maybe defeats the purpose of a "We're not so different" song, if the best line you can come up with is like "yeah we've got innards that need to stay in there!" (also pretty sure goslings DO have skin?)<br />
<br />
Charlotte chimes in later with another aphorism, "We share the sun, the earth, the sky, and that's the reason why/ We've all got lots in common where it really counts..." I suppose "we live on the same planet" <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">is</span> something they have in common.<br />
<br />
What I'm really curious about is...what was it like in that writers room? What were all the rejected lines for this song that just aren't actually true for these friggin barn animals? And <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">are</span> there better lines we could swap out here?<br />
<br />
 <img src="https://eagle-time.org/images/smilies/moshimoshi.png" alt="もしも～し" title="もしも～し" class="smilie smilie_57" /> Okay here's the line: "I've got bones and you do too, so I can stand right next to you."<br />
<img src="https://eagle-time.org/images/smilies/factseagull.gif" alt="Fact Seagull" title="Fact Seagull" class="smilie smilie_27" /> Spiders have a chitinous exoskeleton and no need for internal bones.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[What is the closest analogue for death in the pokemon games?<br />
<br />
Specifically, I mean, from a gameplay perspective. <br />
<br />
There's 3-4 options that initially come to mind.<br />
<br />
1) Fainting (or the total party "white out"), but with the ease that a fainted pokemon can recover at a pokemon center, it hardly carries the same permanence of death. <br />
<br />
2) Releasing your pokemon. This, I think is the obvious choice as it carries the permanence of never seeing your pokemon again, but there's enough flavor to suggest the idea that your pokemon is out there in the world possibly living its best life. The loss feels more like a breakup than death.<br />
<br />
3) Trading is the weakest inclusion here, as you could in theory have your pokemon traded back to you, and it even remembers that you were the original trainer who caught it. But I think it deserves mention as once the trade occurs, your pokemon is fully gone from your plane of existence. <br />
<br />
4) Evolving. See this really shouldn't be on this list. After all, evolution in pokemon is symbolic of growth. It's the reason pokemon go from cute baby to akward middle form before landing into their matured adult form. It's baked into the design of the game and is something to be celebrated.<br />
<br />
...however... I'm starting to think that isn't the case.<br />
<br />
I think that, in fact, evolution is the most death-like out of all the pokemon game mechanics. It's sudden, sometimes unexpected. The change between forms is abrupt and disjointed. It is permanent. Once your starter baby evolves, it can <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">never</span> go back...<br />
<br />
<br />
...Maybe I've been thinking about this because my 4 year old really loved her sprigatito. Perhaps this is on my mind because her dad forgot that you're supposed to press "B" repeatedly and not just hold it to prevent her level 34 sprigatitio from evolving. Maybe pokemon scarlett has an autosave function that activates right after evolution completes and frantically resetting the switch doesn't let you go back. <br />

I think that, in fact, evolution is the most death-like out of all the pokemon game mechanics. It's sudden, sometimes unexpected. The change between forms is abrupt and disjointed. It is permanent. Once your starter baby evolves, it can <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">never</span> go back...<br />
<br />
<br />
...Maybe I've been thinking about this because my 4 year old really loved her sprigatito. Perhaps this is on my mind because her dad forgot that you're supposed to press "B" repeatedly and not just hold it to prevent her level 34 sprigatitio from evolving. Maybe pokemon scarlett has an autosave function that activates right after evolution completes and frantically resetting the switch doesn't let you go back. <br />
<br />
I murdered my daughter's first pokemon, and I don't know what to tell her.]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[The original Parks and Recreation was a solid television B+. Now with news of a Community: The Movie in the works, hungry movie execs are going to be eyeing other decade-old millennial-bait sitcoms to wrangle out cash from the pre-GenerativeAI Generations (GenPreGen). <br />
<br />
Parks and Rec is already in the crosshairs and I say NO. <br />
<br />
We have had enough! There are too many Arrested Fuller House Matters Meets World that have proven the reboot, relaunch formula can only serve to deepen the hollow sadness we all feel inside. NO! Let the original show just BE what it was, we haven't lost it, and we can watch it over again as we like. In the final words of...I think every adventure time character: "We will always be back then."<br />
<br />
So no reboots, relaunchs, rebrandings, no what we want is the exact original content, shot for shot <br />
--with each cast member replaced with an animated character that they've voiced in the past 15 years.<br />
<br />
We only have a narrow window to coalesce on roster before some NBC bonehead ugly-sonics all over this IP and leaves us picking up the pieces!<br />
<br />
<br />
So here's my line-up, feel free to adjust as suggested: <br />
<br />
Leslie Knope - Amy Poehler : played by Joy from Inside Out.<br />
Ann Perkins - Rashida Jones: played by Alva from the Netflix Christmas special Klaus<br />
Ron Swanson - Nick Offerman: played by Axe Cop from Axe Cop<br />
April Ludgate - Aubrey Plaza: played by Julie Powers from Scot Pilgrim Takes Off<br />
Andy Dwyer - Chris Pratt: played by....<br />
<br />
Okay so it should be Mario right? <br />
<br />
But also Emmet was a classic character, and arguably the most Andy Dwyer out of Chris' filmography, but...looks up Chris Pratt... Okay so he's also GARFIELD? <br />
<br />
Do you understand why we need to lock this down!?<br />
<br />
Help.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Title says it all folks. <br />
<br />
Look, I know it's not an uncommon opinion to be miffed at the addition of Marty the Party cat to the Dreamworks' Netflix original series Gabby's Dollhouse Season 10. <br />
<br />
Has Gabby jumped the cat-shark? Yes. Obviously. But that's not the issue here. <br />
<br />
Sure, Marty is an unwelcome addition to a cat-cast of meow-members who were all themed around some sort of creative endeavor. (Cat Rat and Pandy notwithstanding). I mean, you have cooking, science, storytelling, music, gardening, crafting, exercise, and now...I guess Partying??? Immediately Marty is not looking like a great role model for young aspiring STEAM centric creatives, but sure let's throw in a PARTY CAT. <br />
<br />
No, even that obvious clash to an otherwise cathesive show, isn't my greatest gripe about Marty.<br />
<br />
Marty's addition to the dollhouse completely ruins the established powerscaling hierarchy present in Gabby's Dollhouse. <br />
<br />
To understand, we have to look at the existing powerscaling debates: Which Gabby Cat would come out on top if entered into some grandbattle esque tournament? <br />
<br />
Obviously last place would be Pandy - He's the generic every-cat and while he does apparently have a bag of holding, he hasn't demonstrated the creativity needed to use it to its full potential. Not to mention his awful stealth score - Every "hug attack" can be seen coming from a mile away. No Pandy is easily the last place cattender in the dollhouse. F tier.<br />
<br />
Close to Pandy is Cakey. While Cakey can generate sprinkles on command, they lack the projectile force to make him a true threat. Not to mention his body is mostly frosting?? However, Cakey does have access to and skill with a variety of kitchen tools, but hasn't been seen using anything that could constitute a danger to the other in-cat-habitants. Also F tier.<br />
<br />
Entering D tier we have BabyBox. This animated on 6's cardboard box cat has shown some versatility and is the only gabby cat to have access to a blade like weapon (safety scissors) and copious amounts of glue and glitter. But as we'll see, cat-ventional weaponry will not be the deciding factor in our claws-out throwdown. D tier.<br />
<br />
Rounding out D tier, we have Gabby. Yes, the titular dollhouse owner doesn't even make it halfway up the roster. Don't get me wrong. Base-Form Gabby is a BEAST. She's larger, faster, stronger and unaffected by any of the other Gabbycast's magical effects - but once it's "Time to get Tiny" Gabby trades off her human stature and strength for the ability to interact with her cat friends more directly (huge mistake) and the only perk she has in her Tiny form is the ability to change her hair color, a purrley cosmetic effect. <br />
<br />
Now, Gabby *might* be able to leave her tiny form at will - which would obviously meow-tapult her to S tier, but in over 10 seasons, she has not once demonstrated the required action to leave the dollhouse. We get to see the "Gabbycat of the day" and then she's just...back in Base-Form. It seems like the ability to end Tiny-Time is dependent on completing whatever the task of the day is. If the task of the day is: battle to the death, Tiny-Form Gabby has no chance. D tier.<br />
<br />
*Honorable mention to Floyd. Being a real actual cat, there doesn't seem to be anything to stop him from destroying the entire dollhouse, but also there's nothing binding him to participate in the battle royale.* Floyd tier.<br />
<br />
Now on to C tier. You guessed it, C stands for Cat Rat. This big-headed blue  <img src="https://eagle-time.org/images/smilies/oh%20no.png" alt="Aw beans!" title="Aw beans!" class="smilie smilie_48" /> shole certainly has the cattitude required to take out every member of the dollhouse crew, and his ability to slip in and out of small openings with ease does make him the most nimble cat-tender in the lineup, but even he admits that his powers are due to his "beautiful deli(cat)e bones" which is not the type of physiology you want to bring to a free-for-all. He won't be the first to go out, but he also won't be the last cat standing.<br />
<br />
C also stands for CAR. Carlita has the opposite issue of CatRat, she's a litter-al powerhouse, but her bulky inflexible build means it'll be hard for her to build up the momentum required to override the cat-paw-tition. She's slightly higher on the powerscale than CatRat, primarily because of how friendly the smooth interiors of the dollhouse are to her mobility. But even in difficat terrain, Carlita has shown remarkable physical powress, even beating Gabby and Pandy in a VERTICAL ROCK WALL CLIMB. However, she's stuck at C tier...mainly because two other dollhouse members can just fly.<br />
<br />
In B tier, we have...OH CRAP I FORGOT ABOUT PILLOWCAT. F tier. Double F tier. Pillowcat's whole deal is being a sleepy pillow. Literally the worst thing to be in a house entirely filled with cats. Now pillowcat does have immediate access to the dressup closet, which itself might be sentient? But unless there's a Gabby-Cat Mech suit in there, I don't see Pillowcat rolling out of this one.<br />
<br />
Alright, B tier. It's Kitty Fairy. I actually don't know what "Garden Magic" en-tails? But there's clearly some kind of plant-affinity. She's given plants the ability to speak, and is only one ecoterrorist youtube-binge away from being a full fledged Poison Ivy. The ambiguity of her powers, plus her flight and small form factor carves out her place in  B tier. (Oh also maybe she has access to kitty-bees). <br />
<br />
A tier: DJ Catnip. His physiology is terrifying. A fully prehensile tail, bioluminescent limbs, all of which are completely retractible and we have yet to see how far they can extend. He also has access to the most high paw-powered equipment out of the GabbyCats (although it is all completely music based). It is unclear if he also has magical abilities, considering how important song is to the GabbyCat's routine if he is able to manipawlate "music magic" in any way he could seriously disrupt the rest of the dollhouse crew. It is also very unclear what is relationship is with narclawtics. The entire mysterious and somewhat eldrtich nature of this GabbyCat puts him here at the top.<br />
<br />
S tier: Now I know that others out there have disagreed, with this top ranking, but others are WRONG and should feel bad about their life-choices. Mercat, paws down, is the most powerful GabbyCat of the bunch. First off- she can fly, but also breathe underwater indefinitely. She styles herself a "Spa-scientist", but aside from color mixing I have seen very little actual science take place in her bathroom. I'm convinced her concoctions of potions and gems are the result of an intimate knowledge of spa-sorcery. Now, I know that any sufficiently advanced spa-science will seem like spa-magic to the uninitiated. But we KNOW that the dollhouse has ACTUAL MAGIC and Mercat has demonstrated the most pawmazing abilities out of all of the GabbyCats. Shrink someone down to the size of a soap bubble? Done. Instant teleport to Merlantis? Easy. Fully change the morphology of another GabbyCat against their will? Just a normal day in the Gabby Dollhouse bathroom. Mercat destroys the rest of the dollhouse.<br />
<br />
So that's the power scale for Gabby'sDollhouse, clear, understandable, defensible. <br />
<br />
ENTER MARTY THE PARTY CAT<br />
<br />
This pom-pom sparkle-tailed garfield has the MOST INSANE ABILITY to "Create ANY PARTY you want."<br />
<br />
Do you hear that? ANY. PARTY. YOU. WANT.<br />
<br />
Now, the creators Gabby's Dollhouse would say "Well he only has that ability in the new 'Party Room'. He's balanced. "<br />
<br />
No. No he is not. <br />
<br />
First off, "The Party Room"??? There was no "PARTY" room in the dollhouse. For 9 seasons we had no party room. And Marty just appears and mysteriously the top half of the dollhouse is now "Party Room". That's a 1/4 of the entire dollhouse! What is stopping Marty from expanding the party room? They've had parties...in EVERY ROOM in the dollhouse. The entire place is LOADED with party energy, nothing is stopping Marty from using his powers uncattrollably. <br />
<br />
Also, physically, he has the same retractable limb situation that DJ Catnip has - and ALSO apparently the ability to just float people out of the dollhouse? (His Marty Party song is unclear on this effect). <br />
<br />
Psychologically, he has the same core narcatcissistic tendencies as Cat Rat. His entire "GabbyCat of the Day" song is centered around having a "Marty Party". Unlike the other gabby cats (except catrat) that use their song to encourage others to create crafts or food, or that it's okay to make mistakes, his entire moral is that you should have more of him. <br />
<br />
Sure, maybe he knocks Mercat out of S tier...except, the first time we see his powers, it's not Marty controlling them. It's CatRat with Marty's Party Tail. Marty's Tail (which, remeowber can create "ANY PARTY" you want) is an equipable item!<br />
<br />
Now the entire tier list comes down to "Who gets the Party Tail?" Maybe Marty gets it. OR Maybe Pandy hug attacks it into his bag of holding and becomes the ALL-PAWERFUL PARTY PANDY! Maybe Carlita gets it and now were having a highway party in Meowtana which has NO speed limit. Maybe a random hamsterkitty snags it and we are just playthings in its cosmic hamsterkitty party void. <br />
<br />
It's like the creators of the show don't understand the delicate balance they had their characters placed in for NINE seasons. It's unexplainable.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
...<br />

I already had the versatile eagle-tim.com domain available for this so I just used that as the url base. <br />
<br />
Well, Ix was tricked and with the mission accomplished I sort of....forgot about Eagle-Tim...and uh I went to check on it the other day and uh...<br />
<br />
Well if you ever wanted to know what Eagle-time would look like with zero spam filters...<br />

			<description><![CDATA[So myeth and I were shooting the shit after banning a self-proclaimed 15 year old from discord and realised for a lot of Eagle Timers it’s maybe been pre-pandemic since they stopped by here.<br />
<br />
So I’m fielding questions about two things I got up to in these intervening years which, other than some p neat life milestones, are probably the two main things:<br />
<br />
<br />
-Blaseball<br />
-being a high school biology teacher in semi-rural New Zealand.<br />
<br />
So yeah. I will take all questions until 3am Central European time on Saturday. Then someone else can take over this thread and tell us what they got up to.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I thought it'd be a really fun idea to have like a group watch for an anime and every week we all watch an episode and then come here to the forums to talk about it and our thoughts and who our favourite characters are.<br />
<br />
For the first run of the anime group I thought um maybe we could watch <a href="https://myanimelist.net/anime/35503/Shoujo%E2%98%86Kageki_Revue_Starlight" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight</a> together. I hear its a pretty fun anime and think everyone would have a really great time watching together.<br />
<br />
If you want to take part all you need to go is watch the first episode and then come back and we'll get to talking about it here in the thread.]]></description>
