    I'm sure he's gonna get dragged out right now. Just not by his friends and not by a body-part that's meant for such a thing.

    it's very much aimed at kids

    but it is also very good and contains high amounts of gay energy

    The closest thing I can think to that is Asterix's druid being called Getafix.

    See I know this a show aimed at kids and kid-adjacent age groups. But what kind of evil overlord doesn't teach their trainee soldiers that they might have to blow up a few troublesome villages, you know, for the greater good and all.

    Hordak has obviously never read the Evil Overlords List. Quite possibly because he has never taken an introspective view at his leadership style to realize "Yes. I am an Evil Overlord, and I'm OK with that". Only then can you embark on your journey to effectivize your organization and train the unquestioning and brutal stormtroopers that you deserve.

    No, see, when you’re a kid you think Getafix is a reference to how he always has the answers and think you’re pretty smart. Then you grow up and discover the second level and that Goscinny&Uderzo were way funnier than you.

    ...because dragons are AWESOME! That's why.

    Except that joke is only in the translation. In the original he's Panoramix, which has nothing to do with drug use. There are only five name-jokes among frequently reoccuring characters which are the same across the translations. Asterix and Obelix obviously. The other three are:
    Dogmatix (originally idefix), which is actually better because it include one more layer to the joke
    Geriatrix (originally Agecanonix). Which is the same.
    Fulliautomatix (originally Cétautomatix). Which is again better in the english translation because his father is Semiautomatix.

    So really, the honour should go to Anthea Bell, who was the primary translator for the Asterix comics and a true legend of translating French-belgian comics into english. She was also the primary translator for Iznogoud.

    I wish every month had a holiday that gave me a long weekend and an excuse to go have a big family meal. Granted, I'm not the one doing all the big cooking, but I'd settle for just normal dinner fare.

    I have never celebrated thanksgiving.
    Mainly because it is a holiday from a country on another continent at the other side of the planet.
    My main feeling about the damn thing is annoyance about how every webcomic is suddenly making somekind of turkey comics, almost as bad as christmass really.

    Toilets are awesome, and should have a month dedicated to them, not just a day.

    Every day is toilet day. Unless you're for some reason is in a place where there are no toilets (the very definition of "not civilized"), in which case I recommend holding it for a day maybe and then have an extended prayer the next time you reach civilization.

    A spider with candy cane legs sticking out of a present. So many others I was forbidden by my mother to do this though as people would feel it's wrong and not find the humor behind it. Just I am far to busy to pull it off since this is MY HOUSE

    The one that was very taboo was those net lights I wanted to get them wait until Xmas eve show a reindeer got tangled in them, Santa cut it free so and moved on with his day. She said people would call the cops on me over it.

    I also wanted to build a Krampus to wave at people from the window when they drive around looking at the lights and decorations.

    Holding it can actually kill you, go if you need to go, toilet or no.

    Well they lock the bathrooms at work at night so I have to run home if I want to use the toilet I PAY FOR
    There are times that I have had to go outside because I just cannot hold it and well I had no choice

    All of that should really make you appreciate the toilet and celebrate this day with vigor.
