Yeah, but they're adults. It's perfectly fine for them to act like dumbass rednecks for the camera. That show about the kid just sounds super fucked up. Her parents must be stupid rednecks too, or just fucking evil. Which I understand that a lot of those parents are pretty evil. Apparently that shit gets pretty hardcore. But that's true with any child activity. People get into that shit, no matter what it is, if they got a kid competing in it, they will kick some fucking ass over it.

Duck Dynasty: Pretend rednecks, smart businessmen and marketers.
Honey Boo-Boo: Her mother is a stereotypical stage mother AND redneck.


When my son was 4, a pageant recruiter came up and asked if I wanted to enter him. I laughed, told her that I don't believe in those shows for children under 16.
 
That made me happy.

What the fuck is up with monocles, btw? I've always kinda wanted one because they're classy as fuck. But both my eyes are shitty so I would need two. And that's suddenly stupid rather than classy.

I don't know anything about those things. I honestly thought they were horribly sexist and didn't allow boys until you just now told me different.
 
Probably not today tho. My hand's fucked up so I'm on some painkillers and I'm not used to them. Also might be more stupid than usual.

Though back on the subject of gaming, last night I was going through PS2 games and found that Castlevania that I really like.
 
As I recall the only really good PS2 Castlevania was Lament of Innocence though something of Darkness wasn't terrible by any means.

I did get really irate at the end of that game though. Fuck mothering Walter, stupid girlfriend and oh yeah God can you stop fucking shit up. In all the Castlevanias I've beaten one of the few consistent things is that life would be better of God minded his own business and let us rock howe we please.
 
I'm trying to think of something good to play on my ds right now to kinda keep me awake. I keep coming up blank.

They cannot deny entry to boys, it's against Federal laws. Most parents of boys WON'T do it, though.
 
They can't deny boys? I figured it was a sufficiently private industry that they could do what they please. Kinda like I'm fairly certain guys can't enter and of the Ms. contests for the same reasons. Guys in general don't do pagents.

Which ultimately if we're talking damage to children (which I think is wildly exaggerated given my admittedly limited knowledge) I don't really see much difference between pagents, acting and major sports pushes. If you think anybody getting into college football/basketball today didn't start at least in Middle School I'd like to sell you some bridges. (Sure you can find a few freak stars btw since someone will find that one guy)

If a girl wants to join a football team, whether it's Pop Warner or high school, she can. On the flipside, if a boy wants to join the girls' volleyball team and a boys team isn't offered at the school, he can.

Most pageants in the mid-90s, at least in NY, were offering "Little Mister" titles along "Little Miss" in an effort to get more children, and therefore more money, to enter. Personally, I think the entire pageant industry is a freaking scam!
 
I'd always assumed that the rumors I heard about those things were BS. In fact I remember hearing just a year or so back that some girl was upset she got kicked off the team but the rationale was that she was competing becasue she was in that breif window where thanks to puberty she was bigger, faster, stronger than they were but in a year or two she was going to be a girl getting plastered across the floor by boys who'd just shot up past her and worse had no idea how to hang back because it hadn't been an issue just a few months before.

I played Bronco League baseball in 1974. On my team, one created when another sponsor was found last minute, had two girls on the team. One was the team's best pitcher, the other was a good shortstop. Yes, some of the other parents thought they shouldn't have been on the team, but we teammates knew they deserved to be.

My brother played Pop Warner. On the youngest team, a few girls played, the only problems were when they played against a couple of teams from UPSCALE suburbs. Kids grew up playing with and against both sexes, so they had no problems.
 
I need to play more ff.

I haven't finished 2 (4) for SNES yet. (and man does that thing look terrible on an HD screen)
 
A lot of SNES games look fairly "bad" in HD. I kinda like the way they look but I can't play a lot of NES games but that's just me. I do know what you're saying though.

I think there is a remake of 4 on the GBA or DS I think everything up to 5 has been remade and six was re-released but not prettied up which it kinda needs.

I think they are holding off on seven until the goddamn apocalypse. That's a sign of the end of the world and that's assuming that I'm spot on that the New Pope is the Anti-Christ. Beware everybody, beware!
 
Jesus Christ 7 was not that great. I was the only kid who disliked that game. I was promised the world and got 6 with polygons. And EVERYONE wanted to fuck Sepheroth but me. Regardless of gender for some reason that was never clealy explained. And I'm over here screaming, "GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING BITCH ASS MOMMA'S BOY YOUR ASS BETTER NOT CAST "FROG" AGAIN! DON'T DO IT! DON'T DO IT! GODDAMN MOTHERFUCK I NEED BETTER ACCESSORIES I AM SICK OF BEING A GODDAMN FROG!"

But the snes looks bad in HD because it was never meant to be displayed in HD. I have a snes emulator on my 3ds and it's gorgeous on there. That's where I'd play it, or windowed on a PC emulator, because you really need the pixil count to be right, otherwise you get that antianalysing which is what makes it look like shit. I mean, it really should be running at no more than 512, or you know, less than half of 1080. Of course it's going to look like shit.
 
I woke up at 2am... I've got to fix me sleep schedule. I could do something productive like make sprites, but instead I think I'm going to figure out what gifts the elf chick likes. I want half-elf babies.

"I want to build a bridge between elves and humans"

Let me help you with that... By layin some pipes.

Also gonna watch the second Adams Family movie. You know, I think Gomez and Morticia are the only couple on TV who don't constantly bitch at each other. They're both attractive people, deeply in love. And they don't fight over problems, they solve them. It's weird to see a TV couple who actually work well together. I always liked that.

Cada Mia...


Edit: Of course they're rich as fuck, so their problems aren't usually that big.
 
OOO shrinky witch.

I was woken up about 1am by a ambulance on my street. Didnt really get back to sleep after that. Its gonna be a long fuckin day

I was half asleep yesterday. I swear I slept-drove home. I don't remember doing it. I remember getting in the car; and then I was home and I was like, "WTF?" Especially because I meant to stop at the store and I totally didn't. I have no idea why I'm not dead.
