NERDCULTURE SMACKDOWN! POKÉMON OF THE WEEK! MAY 25- MAY 31/13!

#187 HOPPIP, #188 SKIPLOOM, & #189 JUMPLUFF
Today we're talking about a trio of adorable 2nd Generation Grass/Flying Pokémon that the animators of the official anime and films apparently love (since they make a lot of cameos). These little cottonweed or, as we call them in the U.S., dandelion Pokémon are delightful little puffballs that go with the flow and travel by wind.


WORD OF THE DAY! 5/25/13!

overreact [oh-ver-ree-akt]
verb
1. To react or respond to something in a manner that is either unnecessary, inappropriate, and/or over the top.

EX. The only time I've seen anybody overreact more this week than Crobatman were the millions of gamers piling on the "Xbox One? More Like X-BONE!" bandwagon (including myself). I'll reserve my judgement for E3. By then, I hope to have a much better understanding of both the XBOX-1 and the PS-4.

WTF WED! BUMBLE BEES, EVIL NARRATORS, & PUG LORDS? Y NOT!?

WTF WEDNESDAY PRESENTS

Usually, I completely get and enjoy Harry Partridge's works. Usually. This one, I get here and there, but I'm not left with my usual sense of "I NEED TO WATCH THIS A MILLION TIMES!" Still... I think it's worth sharing to get your reactions and still think there is something of value in the animation and some of the visual jokes.


Filthy Frank is becoming a quick favorite on the WTF Wed because he does a mix of shock and body humor that I find to be really worthy of sharing.This video is no Chin Chin, but still it has some worthwhile physical humor and the evil David Attenborough
