Naw, it's just not 9 yet, Draug, so I assumed I could still vote. But maybe I missed the day. Sorry. Anyway doesn't matter.

I think we all just kind of called it early. Kinda like Vergil when he up and died without completing the world's greatest work of literature.

Ya' see that; the quitter

Have to say I watched that and thought...

Wow It's badly dressed Robert Palmer..

Except Palmer's models were fully clothed and not a one as hot as Thicke's brunette.

Emily Ratjakowski is cute, no doubt.

So when do we start the Elite Eight?

We have to wait for Goku to be wished back.

Is he a Pokémon?

OK, so why the fuck does the browser correct Poe to Pie at the beginning of a sentence, but recognizes the e in Pokémon and autocorrects that. Fucking autocorrect.

Goku... from DBZ. He always fought in tournaments.

Nevermind.

DBZ, Pokémon, My Little Pony... They're all the same to me: kiddie crap marketed to kids to sell toys.

And what did you watch when you were a kid, Draug? The Flintstones and their cigarette ads?

Nope. Depending on the age, I was either watching Sesame Street, Electric Company, or by the time I was in 4th grade, I was reading (read the Hobbit in 4th Grade, Started the trilogy the summer between 4th and 5th, finished it over the course of 5th grade, read Bradbury's Martian Chronicles and Dafoe's Robinson Crusoe the summer between 5th and 6th, etc... You get the idea.

What little TV I did watch had very few direct commercial tie ins, mostly just some lunch boxes, not packs of cards. My "toys" were a bicycle, model cars and airplanes I built, legos, Lincoln logs, erector set, girders and panels (that doesn't exist anymore) an N-gauge train set I built, etc.

wow that sucks man, it also explains a lot

So you were a pretty dull kid, got it.

Actually, I enjoyed my childhood. Got a guitar for Christmas when I was 12, started taking piano at the same time (took up trombone in 5th grade), got my first computer in 1980 when I was 14 (Atari 800), chemistry set at age 10 or 11, geology set around the same time. Graduation present was a copy of the CRC Press Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (still have it and use it on occasion). My youth was great. Educational and yet still fun.

So, when does the round of 8 start?

Sorry, I've been busy the last couple days...

So, I take it Team Tolkien beat Team Vergil in a clash of the titans? (One that looked like it was skewering far more one-sided than I expected?)

If so, I'll post the Round of 8 midnight or so my time, and we'll start then.
