Yeah, I say "Shit" a shit-ton of times. What of it, shithead?
A BLT is just a bacon sandwich when you get down to it. The only difference is how much the eater is lying to themselves.

What I'm saying here is make a spin off comic about Bacon. tia Gigi.

Maybe to someone who doesn't like veggies--some people do, and think the ingredients actually compliment each other in the sandwich. drat, now I want a BLT sandwich. But anyway, Bacon can be a fun character sometimes.

It took me far too long to realise you were talking about Paper Mario: TYD and not The Young Ones.

Could Bacon eat a television?

I find it strangely upsetting Bacon's getting yelled at, dudes like a puppy apparently. Also Tomato's really got that "talk while gritting your teeth" thing down huh?

Cucumber Quest is one of the few webcomics I still bother following, and decided to make some fanmusic for it. Hope you guys like it!

The idea is making a song for each Princess of Dreamside as they’re introduced, and then stringing them together into a medley. Here’s Nautilus, and at the end you can here a bit of Princess Piano’s eventual theme. Parfait will probably be at the end, because something so offensively French will have to have sufficient buildup.

I tried to make it cheery and happy, since it's Nautilus, but I tried to make it at least a little regal and professional too. I mean, she is a princess.

It'll probably be forever until we learn all of the princesses, but WHATEVER MAN.

I'm still doing this and just finished Piano's with Parfait on the way. I like how it turned out.

Also Nautilus' was reblogged by Gigi and I'm sorta proud about that anyway.

I'm hoping we follow his goofy antics trying to get by on his own until he becomes the party's joke character.

Look into my eyes.
I'm hoping that Bacon sets off on his own all disconsolately and as the story progresses he keeps appearing in the backgrounds way off in the distance having crazy adventures foisted upon him that are way more ridiculous than what's happening to the main party.

Like Luigi in TTYD? I could see Gigi doing that, but I'm sure whatever she has in mind will be more creative.

What an utter prick. I hope come endgame he is bloody well given what for by Bacon.

As a side, it is so amazing how one completely correct observation has turned everyone around on Bacon.

A party member from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door that was a member of the resident recurring bad guy trio that deflected from her sisters and became a party member.

I guess that was spoilers but it was an old game and it doesn't really ruin anything.
