I went to Paris and ADORED it, but I also went during a historic cold snap, so the pee fumes were frozen, the rats were dead, and there were no other tourists. So that's my Paris recommendation. Go in a blizzard.

Thanks, just got fired from the Paris Dairy Queen.

I was in Charles De Gaulle last August, took the train straight out of the airport and back a couple of days later. While I didn't get into Paris proper, I was shocked at the huge amount of cigarette butts down on the train tracks. Wish I had snapped a picture.

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

I played the Rex Hunt Fishing Adventures board game, and got into an argument with my dad over whether sharks are fish.

The short version: taxonomy is so many kinds of bullshit even scientists have kinda given up.

The best way to know if something is a fish: does it go on the seafood page on a restaurant menu.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Sharks, like all living vertebrates other than lampreys and hagfish, are highly derived placoderms, so yes, they are fish. :colbert:

NYC has more of a fecal smell with a hint of hot garbage, except during the summer when it’s basically all hot garbage all the time.

This is pretty accurate. And whenever there is a lull in the hot garbage smell, you can really take in the hints of cigarettes and car fumes.

It has a negative coefficient of friction and if you're in the same room as it you automatically swallow it

At the risk of self-promotion (of a podcast which has ended), my buddies and I did a podcast for a few years about old/weird/lovely board games. We played Welcome Back Kotter and the Trump game, among about a hundred others. Check out Flip the Table if you want a deeper dive into things like Murder She Wrote the Game (surprisingly good!) or Dexter the Game (breathtakingly bad!).

Regretfully (maybe thankfully) we covered Trump before he was a nominee. We savaged him as people had been since the 80's: as a repeatedly failed businessman and reality show shitstain.

Definitely checking this out. Thanks

Maybe the policy of leaving open trash bags laying around all city streets on garbage day, to let rats rip them open and strew hot rotting garbage everywhere is a plot by the NYC government to mask the odor of piss.

Also: the NYC Subways smell strongly of piss.

NYC, like the rest of the NE, is most pleasurable in the Spring and the Fall.

The TV show tie-in games made the Sweet Valley High board game commercial pop into my head. The internet did not disappoint.

At this time, though, Sweet Valley was only a book series. There was later a TV show.

Wasting his time on Spider-Man, then, who's already plenty flexible.

And this marks the first time I've ever thought of Spider-Man sucking his own dick. A milestone of every fan eventually.

This is the least surprising board game tie in.



I can't believe I remembered the name exactly. It was very complicated, I'm not even sure if we played it the right way. It had dice, and a spinner, and draw cards. You could travel on the surface or do a sewer shortcut.

I will never understand how memory and the human brain work, because I could not have told you that this game ever even existed, and I have absolutely no memory of ever playing it or anything about it. But as soon as I saw that board I instantly recognized it and am 100% sure that I owned it. Sometimes I forget how obsessed I was with anything TMNT related as a kid.

Where the heck are you small town country bumpkins from that your major metropolitan areas don't smell of piss?

I know you aren't all American because I've been to some of your cities and the piss stench is most definitely not a uniquely Parisian thing

I grew up in the Northeast and have ridden all their train-based public transportations. In 2014 I went to Toronto for the first time in my life and decided to ride their subway to a bar. I was standing on the platform and I noticed something... a little off. What was it?? There was no smell of piss! None whatsoever!! It was freaking me out I was like hyperventilating through my nostrils. The poor gentle Torontonians around me must have thought I was having an infarction. Long story short I had a lot of overpriced whiskey and beer that night and I never saw a rat. What the gently caress, Toronto??
