Okay, you consider it a cheat answer, that’s fair. But, just for the record, pokemon is a fantasy series. And the pokemon are a race of monsters.
But for a more typical answer, I’d go with either dragons cause they’re usually powerful and intelligent and can fly or warcraft’s taurens cause they’re like a hippie version of a minotaur. Strong and intelligent but with an affinity for nature. A tauren druid being a very fun combo with tons of versatility.
First gen Pokemon? Or is that cheating?
Makes me feel like when I have a small bit of a song stuck in my head and I’m desperately trying to think of what follows so that I can properly look it up but I can’t. Feels like there should be more of a follow-up in the chorus after “strawberry fields forever”. As it is, it feels like a jingle for a company named strawberry fields.
Had a classmate that thought the same. 20 years later, still amused by how funny we thought that was.
According to google, yeah. Mosquito-borne diseases are responsible for 52 billion deaths. I was extremely surprised myself.
Yeah but if we don’t get mad at made up situations then we’ll be forced to deal with real issues and that’s hard.
Dresden files not popular among these parts or how come nobody’s mentioned it yet?
It has technically already been adapted, but it was a stupid procedural cop show with a twist rather than what it should be. If you want a more formulaic thing, just copy Amazon’s Reacher.
Plus, since it’s an urban fantasy, it should be cheaper to make than most other fantasy/sci-fi shows, I think.
It’s a monarch butterfly so… Eat the rich?
No, we were part of the majority that had money but nothing to spend it on because everything was rationed. From water and heating to tv time and groceries. There wasn’t enough of anything because everything was going to export so at least on paper everything looked great and so you get to say stuff like “wow, that grass painted with toxic paint sure looks green from over here!”
Nah, we do. Some of us actually grew up in them. But I’m sure you know best.
Oh. I had different sets. I had all 3 options but not against each other. So it seems they’re randomized.
Edit: hadn’t read the other replies. People have already figured that out, it seems.
The fact is that there’s usually a difference between official stances and what the truth is or even what people actually believe. The official stance is also that OJ didn’t kill those people, for example.
More likely they thought of the joke after they picked the name but you never know
Awesome :D enjoy!

Lmao, what a bunch of bullshit. “With anger in her face”
There’s like a half second of video that’s not covered by the guy’s arm (after she squatted, I mean) but the guy here, who’s not a racist btw, saw an angry woman trying to kill some cops with some hot water. Literally all you have to do is stay more than 2-3 meters away and nothing will happen to you, but whatever, I guess she got what she deserved.
Also, she said it very dryly, hardly angry or threateningly. And even if she were, in what world is a cop replying with “you’d better not, I’ll fucking shoot you in your fucking face” a normal, disarming response?
Oh, it’s starting to come back to me now. You’re right, thanks. Been a while.
No, the joke wouldn’t have been as funny if it said “scammer” instead of “smart engineer”. Plus, I think it’s more a jab at engineers rather than anything. Because most would rather argue/explain the whole 10 vs 11 thing than just go "ok, sure, I can do that " and get paid.
