The Bottom of this Beyblade is its most valuable part

Holy SHIT

They're tops

TOPS

This is like someone writing a POG strategy guide

Complete with advice on POG technique

It's like that time I was at the drugstore and had my mind BLOWN by the existence of SPINZ



And that was before I saw the article on the subject

But guys

GUYS

"That is all I need for about 35.00 Dollars maybe because im getting some from japan I dont want to spend all my money there."


The best part of course is the first response

"if u want all of them for $35 ur goin to have a hard time. Uriel and Gabriel alone cost that much"


We live in a world

Where the exchange rate

Of the US dollar

To the Bayblade

Is SEVENTEEN-POINT-FIVE TO ONE

The William

I'd also like to bring it to the attention of those concerned

That I am not someone in the habit of backing down from a challenge

So I have decided

On reflection

Not to stop with just a single reply

Notching the dial

Of this internet exchange up a twist

Will be much more satisfying

Basically I am increasing my update speed to a degree unheard of on this blog in the hopes that the sheer volume of awesomeness drowns my opponent in a deluge of biblical postportions

I suppose you may be wondering how I plan to increase my blogging output by such a ridiculous degree while maintaining the high standard of content with which this blog has become synonymous

To this I reply

Content

Have you been reading this blog at all

Everybody best check themselves because oh snap

Shit just got REAL

第81回仮装大賞準優勝作品【スーパーマリオ】

You may recall my in depth analysis of the relative merits of the scientific study of libraries and the man behind the second greatest live action rendition of Mario in history from a few days ago

It has been brought to my attention that this masterful piece of scholarship has garnered a response

And

I'm going to level with you

I remain

Unconvinced

Now I have to admit that calling me out on being secretly infatuated with Library Science but lacking the nerve to ask her to the 8th grade dance is a pretty valid point

And honestly

It wouldn't be so bad

If I could just ask her in person

But I am a pretty loud guy

And Library Science gets spooked by anything above a low whisper

Which limits my options of communication severely

Because have you ever tried contacting Library Science

With anything of an order remotely more advanced than a 19th century telegraph

It is borderline fucking impossible

She doesn't understand how cell phones work

Or the internet

It's like she is trapped in the past

Which to be fair is part of why I am all up ons

Being perpetually stuck in the 20th century myself

It kind of makes me wish she'd take a page

From the book of Captain Lou



Because paying a buck fifty for the first minute

And thirty-five cents for every additional minute

For a chance to be RANDOMLY selected

To have a LIVE conversation with Library Science

Would probably save me like several thousand dollars

In the money equivalent of the time I've spent

Trying to ask this flighty field of study out

How wrong I was

I thought the ocean had done its worse

I mean how the hell do you top eight foot long arthropoid spider alien abominations that EVEN NOW skitter through the darkness at the bottom of the sea

Thirsting for our flesh

But

You guys

Seriously

FUCK

''Unlike many transparent jellyfish, the red pigment in Big Red's dome prevents researchers from peering into its stomach to see what it had for lunch.'' Hey scientists, maybe the red pigmentation is a CLUE to its diet? Like maybe it ate a whole lot of red plankton or it's been GORGING ITSELF ON THE BLOOD OF THE DAMNED

THE OCEAN

You don't really get a sense of scale from that picture so let me straight up bust out some fine-ass block quotes and get some mad perspective all up ins

"Four thousand feet beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean, water temperatures hover around a chilly 37° Fahrenheit, and the tiny sparks of bioluminescent life forms provide the only light. In this dark, cold world, scientists have discovered a strange new predator - a gelatinous, blood-red jellyfish that can reach up to three meters in diameter. Named Tiburonia granrojo (Spanish for big red), this massive jelly is particularly unusual because it lacks tentacles, which most jellies use to catch their food. Instead, Big Red has between four and seven thick, wrinkled arms."


You guys

That thing is OVER NINE FEET ACROSS

It is literally a giant mouth

Surrounded by ever-grasping arms

This is an entire SPECIES of creature

That is ALIVE

RIGHT NOW

ON THE SAME PLANET

AS US

H P Lovecraft has lulled you into a false sense of security. Ponderously large mindless horrors motivated by endless hunger are in fact ONE HUNDRED PERCENT REAL
