Ebolacane!

Not to make light of the people suffering and dying there, but to create a meme of FoxNews-fear in factless right-wingers that because hurricanes start on the west coast of Africa, then it may carry the virus
(No, it can't. )

It was like alka seltzer except it just made water into a sweet drink. I remember putting one in my mouth once...I think my tongue stayed purple for a week.. Had my parents worried I caught some kind of weird disease.



They don't make those any more...they went the way of Pop Rocks.

and trying to eat the root beer ones but not getting very far That's funny about your tongue staying purple so long!

They actually worked pretty well, so long as you drank it fairly quickly.

If I could find a good supplier of Hawaiian shirts in my size, I'd wear them almost all the time!

That outfit there looks great
Just be sure to remove your hat when you go inside buildings (that's part of "hat etiquette&quot

Full Metal Alchemist kind of lost me when some of the character-animation would "devolve" into some kind of low-quality stuff. I didn't get the reference, and it took me out of the enjoyment of the story too completely.

Now, there's always full-body prosthetic fashion:




And the steampunk-warrior look is quite dashing, too:

I hadn't heard of that one, yet I also don't know most anime, just the deep-serious science fiction kind, and Miyazaki


I do like most steampunk, though...

Probably because I grew up in hillbilly country with lots of corn-fed midwestern women usually of German or Celtic ancestry. Surrounded by big gals with light colored hair, I guess made small women with dark colored hair exotic beauties to me.
