Salad Post
Salad post! Aka a post where I toss a bunch of things in together because I don't feel like making separate entries for each one (plus it would probably be annoying). I will attempt to start with the least spoilery things and work my way up so as not to spoil anyone!1. Obviously I'm late commenting on it, but Thursday's debate was pretty good! Biden was awesome. He started out a little shaky, kind of rambling a little before he figured out which points to make, but once he settled into things he... kind of kicked ass, actually. He called Palin on it whenever she spouted BS, he made his own points very effectively, and he also managed to get the last word on most of the important topics, which was nice. On the other hand, Palin did manage to get through it without screwing up too badly. But then, you shouldn't get points just for doing the bare minimum of what you're already expected to do.
Anyway, the reason I even brought the debate up at all was because I came across this article on CNN last night and it pretty much cracked me up. XD
Lingust Analyzes VP Debate
There's analyzing, there's over-analyzing, and then there's... whatever the hell you call this.
"The analysis by the Austin, Texas-based Global Language Monitor said Palin, governor of Alaska and the GOP vice presidential nominee, used the passive voice in 8 percent of her sentences, far more than the 5 percent used by the Democratic senator from Delaware."
"The normally voluble Biden restrained his tendency to ramble by uttering just 5,492 words during the 90-minute debate, versus 5,235 for Palin, Payack said."
"Sentences per paragraph: statistically tied at 2.7 for Biden and 2.6 for Palin."
"Letters per word: tied at 4.4."
FASCINATING, is it not? I'm so glad we have the mass media examining things so closely; if I didn't know the percentage of time Biden used the passive voice in his sentences, I wouldn't know what to think.

chibikaya. :D1.) Put your media player of choice on shuffle.
2.) List the first fifteen songs that come up (skipping titles like "Fugue in D Minor") and add "in my pants" to the end.
3.) Bold the ones that actually made you LOL.
Victory in bed.
Even flow in bed. (Actually this was kind of gross. 8D)
Beautiful morning with you in bed. (Actually, that's almost kind of sweet.)
Champagne from a paper cup in bed. (This actually made me laugh because I watched Futurama the other day and so pronounced "champagne" in my head like Zapp Brannigan does.)
O holy night in bed.

I'm kind of sad I had to stop at fifteen. I WANTED TO KEEP GOING.
3. New OP and ED for KHR! Actually not much to say here, except 1) The new OP is awesome, 2) I LOVE GOKUDERA, and 3) Is it just me, or have the KHR anime endings been getting progressively gayer as time goes on? Not that there's anything wrong with that. XD
4. Just a couple things to say about KHR 212. One, I gotta say, Spanner is really growing on me. Not that I disliked him before, but it was another one of those things where it takes a while for the character to get interesting for me. But his dedication to his craft (THE WAY OF THE MECHANIC!!1) was always endearing, and his becoming an honorary Vongolite in these last few chapters has been really cool. When Reborn praised his mechanic skills and he blushed, I, ah. Kind of melted. So there it is; you're part of the team now, weeaboy, and I hope that when we finally get back to the present time, they go out and find little Spanner wherever he is and he becomes one of their Vongola biffles.
The other thing is that I have to say, I really wasn't expecting Genkishi to wind up being as big a boss as he's turned out to be. I guess I should have expected it, since they've been hinting at his big-bad-ness ever since his first appearance, but I underestimated him, and now here he is having beaten two and a half guardians (or should that be one and a half? Does Hibari count twice?) and now fighting Tsuna as well. And he's still acting like we haven't even seen the half of what he's capable of. HE'S LIKE THE ENERGIZER BUNNY. At least this means we still have a chance to see that flashback I'm still craving.
ETA: In addition to not expecting Genkishi to turn out to be so final boss-ish, I also did not expect him to be such a great commercial product.
I think that's it! I wonder how many tags this will take.

The new OP is really cool, the extremely short Collolal part was so asdfgha ;_;.
And I don't think the ED can get any cuter.
IDK, I've liked Spanner from the start XD I think I have a thing for inventors, but I am FREAKING HAPPY that he has such a big role now. :D HAPPY. I hope that when we finally get back to the present time, they go out and find little Spanner wherever he is and he becomes one of their Vongola biffles. The thought of seeing young Spanner... <3
HE'S LIKE THE ENERGIZER BUNNY. ...I thought very bad things.

XDDDDD I love this meme. So much.

I know, it broke my heart and it was only like two seconds. So good.
And I don't think the ED can get any cuter.
Once the Gokudera picture flashed onscreen I was pretty much dead of cute. <3
Spanner has always been adorable, but I'm slow to catch on to these things. I think it takes my brain a while to acknowledge that yes, so-and-so is in fact awesome. At any rate, I'm very happy with the role he's playing now, and he really had better show up again after this arc, because otherwise it will be very sad.

He makes his way to the kitchen and suddenly meets something rigid and unyielding with his face.

Genkishi shakes his head in disgust and glides back into the kitchen, presumably to slice and dice.

Yamamoto, flat on his back calls, "Ahaha, I don't get it, but can you kiss my head better?"

"Ha ha, guess not! Hmm~ you know, you're not really that helpful! Is this what they call defective merchandise? --WHOA, okay, sorry, just kidding! Ha ha, you're pretty dangerous! Are you still under warranty?"
Epilogue: And thus, tragically, poor Yamamoto was never heard from again. :'(
