Evees are the most luxurious of pokemon, which is why I skinned ten for this coat.

The best part of the Republican debates has been listening to Donald Trump insult people and how self-impressed he is with his quips. When he Rand Paul called Trump a sophomore who insulted people's looks, The Donald came back with "I never attacked him on his look, and believe me, there’s plenty of subject matter right there." He accompanied the remark with the most self-satisfied smug I've seen since elementary school.

I like this. I want Trump to review everything. Doritos, high heels, he should be a youtube celebrity or a novelty amazon reviewer. Five stars.

As long as it's not the judicial review

New plan: get the Dump Truck curious about what's under Espurr's ears.

Team him up with the Buzzfeed TryGuys. I know you can afford it, Buzzfeed.

“This dinosaur in a bone hat. Gave him a million, 900 thousand, one million dollars. For his mother. Turns out, he has a dead mom. A deadbeat mom. She’s gone. Kaput. I gave this bone monster a million dollars and told him ‘listen, youre a tiny bone monster and you throw that bone, it’s gonna come back and hit you. I know what a boomerang feels like in my hand I wasn’t born with a silver spoon like you did. Sorry about your dead mother, but you’re finished. you can’t run this country without a mother. Work on that. Work on a better mother and a better bone for your little head. That’s no good”

As someone who has never been into the Pokeymans and would pretty much devour someone's face for attempting to Show Me Them, finding out about Cubone was a gigantic mindfuck. I'm pretty well inured to the general levels of WTF? you get when you expose people to random Japanese (pop) culture, but there's something about EPIC GREEK TRAGEDY BACKSTORY for a cute animated monster that to this day boggles my mind, like if fucking Euripides had been reincarnated as a game designer. He sees the moon and is reminded of his dead mom whose skull he wears as a hat, his mournful cries echoing eerily within the skull, his face never having been seen but by his dead mother. What the fuck.

It’s a drug. He’s literally got a loser drug on his, of his, he is a drug. He is a thug. A thug in my garden.

It's like, I can almost see this translating into a nursery rhyme. Almost.

Don't watch One Piece. I can barely keep it together, and I'm fairly used to this sort of thing.

If you don't know anything about pokemon and you google Cubone there are a bunch of sad fan-made artworks
