Super Smash Bloggers Brawl
Our Head Office has new signs for a new promo. I have but three issues with these. First, they're butt-ugly yellow & black, and look like bees exploded all over them. Second, apparently we're supposed to blanket our store with them to an extent that people walking by should mistake us for "Benny's Bargain Basement of Discount Stuff." Third, they're all fill-in-the-blank signs. I spent an afternoon writing in "all handbags" and whatnot on the tags with permanent marker.
It vexes me greatly. The vexing is eased only slightly by the knowledge that I at least have pretty darned good penmanship.
Other than that, after a visit to Kevin & Donna's, I have come to the conclusion
that Smash Bros. Brawl's "Rainbow Cruise" battlefield is evil, and that is only partially because the entire course moves and if you don't move swiftly along with it, you die. No, indeed. I made the patently obvious mistake of playing this particular brawl as Gannendorf. Picture this, if you will:
The battle begins, and I in typical fashion am proving absolutely useless, as demonstrated by how Mel-playing-as-Kirby is destroying me. The screen starts to move upwards, creating in effect the appearance that the Rainbow boat is sinking. Everyone else immediately scrambles to higher ground...except for Gannendorf. No, Gannendorf is not responding to my sad attempts at jumping to safety. Gannendorf is better than that. Gannendorf is more fabulous. As the ship goes down like the Titanic, Gannendorf stands on the very tip of the bow and performs what can only be described as: Lord of the Dance.
That was the first and last time I shall ever play as Gannendorf.
I'll stick with my Bowser, thank you very much. Not that it really matters: so long as Mel has Kirby, I have better chances of survival by grabbing her and back-flipping the both of us into a pit. Sure, we both die. But on the plus side: at least we both die!
Today's Eco-Irony: local KW news reported this afternoon that a man on an electric bicycle was hit by a recycling truck. I'm idly curious what sort of no doubt expletive-filled retort this would garner from Penn Gilette, considering some of their Bullshit episodes.
