    There is a fictional fish named Wanda or something like that.  I never saw a fish called Wanda nor do I really know much about Wanda the fish?

    There was a comedy flick a while back, called "A Fish Called Wanda"... but the joke was MCU based referring to the Marvel series "Wandavision" or the relationship between the artificial life form/AI named Vision and the Scarlet Witch, AKA "Wanda"... I thought because you named your fishy Loki, you might be into the MCU or know some of the characters... They were in "Avengers- Age of Ultron" also.

    If I remember correctly, the fish called Wanda may have been an Angelfish.

    Either way, its been like thirty plus years, so Wanda is probably an angel fish by now anyway... or at least a ghost fish.

    I was recently talking about That Wanda.  I forgot what the conversation was about other than Wanda.

    I didn't finish watching age of ultron because of what happened to quicksilver. (Or at least what I think was going to happen to him?)

    You mean you didn't see the part where all the Ultron robots had a change of heart and decided to throw him and the Avengers a big huge birthday party?

    Lets just leave it at that and you never bother to watch the rest if you turned it off because you liked him.

    He's just fine.

    Totally fine.

    Just don't watch the rest.

    And don't watch Wandavision either because it mentions the birthday party a lot.

    Ah yes, "A Fish called Wanda".  A sad tale for Wanda.  But a very funny movie if you like shrewish women, grabby lawyers, demented crooks, nymphomanics, dead animals, and bumbling fools.yes

    I definitely need an intervention or something... I decided to do the Olive Eyes thing anyway...

     

    Just in case anyone was wondering what I was babbling about and didn't want to look for the thread.

    I think this is all I do around here anymore...

    When I was a kid I used to read those stupid Popular Science or Popular Mechanics articles where the future was full of amazing technological marvels that promised to fill our days with wonder... instead most of the stuff we ended up getting just leaves me wondering... mostly "Why?"...

    Take for example this...

    https://www.businessinsider.com/scientists-designed-a-smart-toilet-with-butt-recognition-technology-2020-4

    quote one part of the article...  "It also has a built-in identification system. The smart toilet's flush lever is equipped a fingerprint reader, and cameras in the toilet bowl can identify people's butts..."

    I'm not going to go into details, that's up to you if you are curious, but (ha! get it... but/butt...) anyway, I guess face recognition software was not controversial enough, we needed butt hole recognition software too... because if you aren't worried about some techno-nogoodnik getting ahold of your fingerprints or your facial data points, you'll probably be fine with this too...

    A few hours ago I literally was complaining about how all these data vampires are constantly invading our privacy and trying to crawl up our butts to get every last bit of personal information from us that they can... and then I read that and I'm right again, but not in a way I'm happy about.

    I get that the initial point of product is health related, but you know... absolutely know, that if this becomes a consumer product, it's going to feature the most abysmal IOT security imaginable and be a Ring/Alexa privacy dumpster fire extraordinaire.

    And no judgement here if anyone is actually looking forward to this, that's cool I suppose.

    I wanted some fries for dinner tonight, but we didn't have any in the freezer, so I thought I'd try to make tater tots. After several clear errors in judgement while preparing them, I now present to you my Potato Disasters: 

    Hope they're edible!

    How exactly did you achieve that texture?... is that hash brown/shredded potato based or did that have fur?... I'm not saying cooking a furry potato is a bad idea... but... you know what, never mind that... what's really important is how did it taste?

    If it tasted good, that's all that matters... 

    Sorta...

    I guess.
     

    EDIT... Never mind, I missed you were trying for tater tots... that explains the texture.

    I thought you were going for lumpy French fry, so the texture puzzled me.

    Don't like eating furry potatos, the hairs get stuck between ones teeth.

    Vision is about the same?... how's Wanda doing?

    A little MCU humor there...

    Okay, "Bad" MCU humor...

    Terrible?

    My funny is off today... somebody posted a thread titled "G8F Olive Eyes" and I decided not to quickly model a pitted olive and replace a G8F figure's eyeballs with them, render it out and photoshop a fake DAZ store product page and ask "Is this what you are looking for?"...

    I think I'm the only one who laughs at that... and even I think those dumb jokes are bad.

    ...I was thinking along sort of similar lines when I first saw that thread.

    Would love to see your idea.  Strike that, saw that you went ahead and did it, I like it.

    Been out of touch with the forums for a couple days.  Other issues.

    Thats really all that counts.

    I've eaten a lot of terrible looking, scary looking, threatening looking and just generally downright disturbing looking foods that have been quite delicious... appearance isn't always a good indication of taste.

    Well, actually scratch that... if there are a bunch of dead roaches in it, it might not taste that great, because if it killed the roaches, it's probably pretty spoiled... unless the roaches are a garnish or it's like a roach stew or something.

    I draw the line at roach stew.

    Unless they are real big and grilled properly... most insects taste like crustaceans if they are big and muscular enough, but realistically there aren't many that qualify.

    If you think about it, shrimps are basically sea roaches... they more or less occupy the same niche as roaches... they are just much smaller and too squishy to grill up properly. It's the muscle part of shrimp and crustaceans that's so delicious... terrestrial bugs are generally too watery and squishy to get a good texture.

    That's usually why people who advocate eating bugs are always serving them up fried at demos... Popcorn Crickets taste and feel better in the mouth fried than broiled...

    There is still the legs getting stuck in the teeth thing which is super gross, but they can be made to taste pretty acceptable... though honestly, people tend to season them so much I have no idea what they actually taste like.

    Dang... now I want Coconut Popcorn Shrimp.

    I still prefer fried sea roaches to terrestrial ones.

    I was watching a Spider-Man.  I get confused which movie is named what.  I haven't finished it, but about half way through.  I took a break to get ready for bed.  I read the blurb about it.  Unless the blurb is wrong, it spoiled a major plot twist.  It is either far from home or no way home.  I watched the one that came out in 2019.

    Or "Spider-Man: Homeward Bound"?...

    That's the one where he goes on a school trip, but gets lost in the wilderness with two talking dogs and a wisecracking cat and they have to make it back home before Thanksgiving, but when they finally make it to the airport a freak snowstorm reroutes their flight and they end up joining the reanimated corpse of Burt Reynolds in his 1981 Pontiac Trans Am, for a cross country automobile race to get the $5000 prize money to pay off the back taxes so they can save the Dalmatian orphanage in Chicago from a crazy rich lady who wants to turn all the puppies into a fur coat, but in the end she goes nuts and cooks the rabbit of this lawyer she is having an affair with and eventually they make friends with the lawyer who is also an inventor and he ends up using some experimental technology to shrink them down into the quantum realm so he can send them back in time to avoid his mentor from being killed by Iranian terrorists in a VW microbus.

    That doesn't sound right...

    Uh... I might have combined a few movies there...

    Kudos to anyone who can figure out which ones those are.

    Missed two... think about cooked rabbits and lawyer based affairs... and Chicago orphanages being closed due to delinquent taxes.

    Also "Close"* on two others.. the shrinking and the lost pets... 

    *Close is almost a pun there... but it would be more a pun with the rabbit cooking.

    You got 101 Dalmatians, Smokey and the Bandit and Back to the Future.
