    Besides the obvious, you mean?

    Yeah, I do. Usually educational crap I remember from my childhood, like The Magic School Bus.

    It's usually stuff that was on Nick Jr.

    So PBS for me, and Nick Jr. for you.

    Sounds about right, given our ages.
  • Maybe it's my old nostalgia filter acting up, but I saw an episode from some new show on Nick Jr. a few months ago (shut up, I was in a waiting room and there was nothing else to do) and I just thought "man, this is what kids are watching instead of Blue's Clues? Really?"

    Even now, I'm pretty sure Blue's Clues wouldn't bore me like that show did.

    I always thought CN's tries at that sort of thing seemed stupid. (Their last was in 2005-2006)
  • A Pup Named Scooby Doo was pretty decent.

    It still suffers from the same problems that all "kiddie versions of shows" do, but it suffers in a self-parodying way. It knows what it is and has fun with itself.

    ^^ I thought so, too.
  • Didn't CN try to change themselves to "CN Real" and be only live action shows or something?

    Because that sounded hilariously stupid.
  • That only happened once, and it was a live-action segment with terrible shows that were ripoffs of better ones.

    They still have a few shows limping around their lineup.

    The Taco Bell nearest my house is currently closed for renovation; it is scheduled to re-open this Saturday, despite the fact that it will quite obviously not be 100% finished by then.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    You know I'm reminded of the MLK Day last year where Mother and I went downtown to a couple of antique stores and a Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.

    Is it weird that my first thought was "Ooh, I want to go to downtown Aurora"?
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Downtown Denver.

    Yeah, see, that's the weird part. I don't know why my mind went to Aurora.
  • Not ponytown Aurora?
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    Ooh, I wish that existed! It sounds fun!

    You know sometimes your bigender thing prompts me to wonder what I'd be like as a female.

    I feel compelled to mention that tonight is the first night in a couple weeks that I actually feel comfortable with my gender. I'm a girl tonight. I'm not sitting around questioning what I am, I'm not worried that I'm trying to force myself into something that doesn't fit me...I'm just a girl. A girl in a boy's body, but a girl nonetheless.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    How do you know what your gender is anyway?
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    I don't know. It's hard to describe.

    For some reason, it's hard to tell what my gender is when I'm looking for it. But sometimes I'll just be sitting around and be like, "huh, I think I'm a girl right now."

    ...This probably sounds very strange, and almost nonsensical.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I never really think about mine. I just set it to "male" because I guess it fits.
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    "Male" fits me quite well a lot of the time, but often times it doesn't.

    I'm not quite sure I understand it, myself.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    So I found the context for the sandwiches thing.

    It was depressing.

    Oh, that.

    Yeah, it was pretty depressing.

    You know I briefly had a silly thought: namely, I wonder if our fixations are cyclical. Right now we're talking about gender all the time again, does that mean in a few months we'll be talking about ponies and then about friendship?
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I want to fiddle around with logos, maybe.
  • I think a lot of human things are cyclical.

    War, peace, tolerance, hatred, they all disappear for a while but they're never really gone.

    Yes I'm still awake. For some reason
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    My thoughts tend to cycle, it seems.

    So do mine.

    I wanna go to DIA.

    I've always liked wandering airport terminals.

    Granted, the only airport I've ever gotten to do that at is Port Columbus, and not since I was 12.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I'm a sap; this is depressing:

    My first thought, though, is "at least they acknowledged the change on-air."
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    The name change coincided with the start of an era where they tried to get away from game shows and started clogging the schedule with reality and poker. Most of this is gone now, though they have never really recovered.

    Their logo of the era is real smarmy, too.

    Greetings. I bring aisle signs:

    The original aisle signs, dating to 2001 or 2002. Most of these have already been removed.

    The new aisle signs. Notice they are all entirely blank--they've been that way for weeks now.

    Also that gray-looking wall in the background of the second photo isn't a wall at all, but a sheet of plastic blocking off the former Health & Beauty section.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    FOIL STORAGE

    AISLE 12

    Oh, I forgot to mention: The numbers don't match up. So the new signs for old aisle 12 now label it 14.

    It would be confusing, if not for the fact that the new aisle signs don't say anything.

    Is that Meijer?

    Yep. (Somehow I'd left that part out)

    When we buy Disney what should we do with Marvel? (Or ABC and friends)

    I don't know. Does anyone even read comic books anymore?
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    Then we will keep Marvel just so we can take all of thespacephantom's money
