What Have You Learned Today ?

[Roubignol]

That you can eat an outdated rice of 5 years old without any problem.
As long as the parcel is intact before to open it... it tastes as good as a new one.

I learned today that cops can be real assholes.

That's a lie. I've known it for years.

Malaysian snacks taste good. There's a box of these assorted Malaysian biscuit snacks in the kitchen, most of them just having chocolate.



I keep learning things about Power Rangers as I've recently started watching Q&As with original cast members. The two biggest things that blew my mind...

1.) Walter Jones, who played Zack, the original Black Power Ranger, is missing a finger! It just speaks of the potato quality of the show, even on Netflix, I never spotted it. Though shortly after I learned of this from an interview with Jones, I saw an episode where you can clearly see that he's missing a middle finger. It's crazy, he said he's known people for years that still don't know about his finger. In fact, he's never hid it, so Saban had to be just making sure the cameras don't pick that up. He shot his finger out when he was 4, he thought the gun was a toy one. Wow.

2.) Judging by the names of the people who wore the Alpha 5 suit for the show, as the Power Rangers wiki doesn't have pictures of them, all the people that donned the suit...were women. Now the voice is a man, but the suit actors have been women. I was watching an interview with Austin St. John, Jason the OG Red Ranger and they showed some BTS pictures, one of them showing a woman in the suit, but not wearing the head part. Damn.

Just how stupid and wishful I can be.
I knew from the art of the cover it was fake and just lead to nothing.
Gosh!...still a little hope, no and I knew it.



Title Jenna loves Rocco, all good and they did it, Jenna Fucked Rocco, so advertised right.
I just saw the cover and that is SARA LYNN / SABRINA WEST , and she did a shoot with Rocco, just maybe even a simple little vid. clip of Sara, God she makes me cry when I masturbate to her..lol, not really, not a lot anyway.
Today I learned I still adore my Goddess after this.

More Power Rangers stuff because there's nothing else in my life now.

I passed the first cast change in the show, which made me sad when the first episode of the new era started playing. These other faces over the ones on the credits. One of the replacements, for Zack the black Power Ranger, was Adam, played by Johnny Yong Bosch. While this is the cast I knew as a kid, it's not like I kept their real names in my head over the years. And somehow I forgot about the name Johnny Yong Bosch over the years. Some time ago I was reminded of him through a video, a top 10 of best voice actors, and I think his name popped up. Once again I just forgot the name, and the tie-in, that this voice actor was also a Power Ranger.

Now watching the series, and just today watching a Q&A featuring him, he talked about his first proper voice acting job (I use the term "proper" because one can argue Power Rangers is a voice acting job as most of their dialogue was dubbed, especially when they're in the suits) being Trigun, an anime I loved as a kid. He was the lead, Vash, and as I listened to him talk about this, I recognized the voice. It all just hit me and I yelled "OH YEAH!" Looking at his huge list of voice acting credits, no wonder he's a well known voice actor. Leads in Bleach, Akira, Code Geass, Danganronpa, Blue Exorcist. Supporting roles in Kill La Kill, Digimon, Space Dandy, Naruto, even Devilman Crybaby. That's an anime I watched last month, but with Japanese audio an subtitles, now I want to watch the dub since he voiced Wamu, and important supporting character. As I looked at his long list of tiles, the voices of his characters came to mind, especially Space Dandy, an anime I adore, remembering he was Johnny from that show and tried to start a rock band with Dandy and crew, they became instant bros and rivals at the same time! Wow, and that's an anime I want to watch again ASAP, so this is very exciting to learn this.

Well I learned it last year in truth
No
I`m not HIV positive !.
Again.
Although they do say three times is the charm

Nope the main thing I learned it`s that not only did I lose (In the mysterious V.E.F ether) ten thousand thanks last year.
I might have lost an equal amount of thanks given
Pages missing two or four posts previously thanked is one thing.
A total pain. Yet one thing.
Missing thanks I`m pretty one hundred percent sure I`d already given.
Yet today I've found even more swathes of pages sans my thanks that I`d bet both freshly shaven balls on I`d thanked previously
Not a handful missing dotted around.
Everything missing. Page upon pages
Been spending a lot of time catching up and re-thanking recently
Only what the hell be going on son
Can't post in several Funnies/Miscellaneous threads I used to at the start of the year anymore , as all attempts timeout
Seriously did Greenman buy this place as a Valentines gift to himself and now trying to drive me crazy
Too late if so
As a matter of course whenever I post am randomly checking back since that`s how my thanks given appear to have vanished.
Randomly
Doing my best to re-thank.
Such a hit and miss glitchy frustrating jip though

Have found a way to post again.
Naturally it`s so bleeding obvious I didn't figure it out until now.
All I need do is quote , remove said quote and post the images I wanted to.

There's a Nobel Prize for music and Metallica is slated to get it, being the first metal band to be given that. Meh. I also learned that there was going to be a full-fledged re-issue of Metallica's demo "No Life Til Leather," which featured Dave Mustaine on guitars, and Ron McGovney on bass, before Kirk Hammett and Cliff Burton came in. According to Mustaine...

“James contacted me 2 years ago. We were going to officially release the ‘No Life Till Leather’ demo as a record, w/27 tracks, pics, the whole enchilada, and the talks broke down because Lars wanted credit on two songs I wrote every note and word to. I have the texts. I passed.”

Rats, but it reminded me to download the demo, I hadn't heard it in a couple years. I know I loved it then, I'll love it in my upcoming listen.

That if a cash machine goes screwy at a branch you don't don't bank with , they`re legally obligated to cut up your card

Although thankfully the girl didn't. Instead she opened up the machine , carefully retrieved my card and gave it back to me.

It`s only when I got to speak to someone where I bank with that learned this supposed fact of card cutting.

See what happened is the machine in the TSB began going loopy and rebooting after I`d heard the sound of money fluttering behind it`s shutter. No money appeared and my card vanished. Which of course wasn't anything to do with me.
Yet as I hadn't received the money I`d tried to withdraw. Needed to go all the way to a branch of a bank I use. Queue up for ages and then explain to a twelve year old looking gimp what`d occurred. Who made it clear he didn't believe me as my card should have been cut up at the TSB.
Because that rival bank didn't know who I was
Like that`s an answer
If I`m not me how`d I know the PIN
This idiot behaved like I was under suspicion
Asking me a whole stream of questions
He actually said "By rights this should be cut up".
Now does that make any sense to anybody ???.
When he gave it back it`s as if he was doing me a favour.
Where would be the logic in faffing about over a card and going through all the rigmarole of wanting to know money hadn't been taken from the account , if I`d stolen the card
No money had been taken in error so that was good.
All the same though , "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh" spare me from smugly spud faced blank brained bank staff

I finished season 2 of Power Rangers yesterday, so next on the list is the first movie, since it came between seasons 2 and 3, and I recently learned season 3 basically did a retelling of certain parts of the movie, so, it's necessary now to watch the film before going into season 3.

Anyways, something I just learned, literally minutes before typing this post. Still on Power Rangers, when the cast had its first change, the Red Ranger went from a beefy Austin St. John (Jason) to a relatively skinny Steve Cardenas (Rocky). I noticed while watching stuff with the American actors in the suits, that the Red Ranger's build never changed. It should've because the person under the suit is skinnier than the OG one. Watching a Q&A session with Mighty Morphin cast members, it turned out that they didn't make a slimmer suit for Steven. They gave him a muscle suit, that way the suit made for Austin would perfectly fit for him. It shocked me because I felt like that's something a bigger budget production would've done, movie magic, but I guess anyone can do that.

Oh, Michael B. Jordan apparently loves anime, his parents live with him, he's roughly 6 foot tall. Good trivia there, he responded to some guy on Twitter shading him, and his response was amazing. Plus he name dropped Goku from Dragon Ball and Naruto from the anime of the same name as "real ones." I like him even more than I do now.
