By ghoulish I meant the literal raising of a dead individual back to life to do one's bidding. Say, to act in a movie. :3

Sorry this is long, but it's so relevant I can't resist: https://xkcd.com/1665/

I hadn't been to my hometown's wiki page before today, but I did occasionally browse the subreddit for my previous locale.
The subreddit for my current locale is... interesting and resonant!  A complaint about sports-obsession, someone my age looking for place to move in, and lots of hiking/biking stuff.  And just a lot of really interesting local things.
Sorry for selfquoting, but I did check out my town's Wikipedia page, and it was mostly an interesting discussion of certain issues.  The University which dominates our town, our status in the three-city area (which is an amusingly ambiguous statement in North Carolina), and some civil stuff about race.

Then I noticed that the discussion ended in 2008.  There was one more post in 2009, earnestly replied to in 2011.

That's the WTF.  The page itself has a continuing edit history, with its own intrigue, I just thought that was funny.

For fun and giggles I had a look at my home town's wiki.
Given my local city is a town in all but name, I suppose I should just be impressed that it has a wikipedia entry. (Well, not really. Its historic role would always ensure it at least a mention.)

Weather forecast said 1-3 inches at most, maybe a little more further west.

We got a blizzard.


...I was also going to post about a Yugioh strategy I came up with today, but it was a shitty strategy that involves deck-summoning Exodia's pieces, and throwing them an opponent's Sword Hunter(which equips monsters it kills), and then using Giant Trunade to win. The least stupid part of the strategy is making sure you opponent has a Sword Hunter(Creature Swap is good, give them your Sword Hunter).

That could still work, actually.  You just need to believe in the heart of the cards.  Maybe fuse with a demigod.

I assume steals (temporarily anyway) some cards from your opponents deck?

Sure, that makes sense!

I'm bewildered about this one neighbor across the way.  They spent much of February on their pickup truck, doing very loud repairs and shining floodlights in my window at odd hours.  That's fine, seriously.  I was largely raised with a pile of bicycles, later mopeds, in various states of repair all up in our lawn.  HOAs can get rekt.

But just now the vehicle in question...  Beeped like a reversing garbage truck?  And then drove off!
I can only hope that they have restored the vehicle, and the piercing tone I heard was a one-off of unoiled joints on a maiden voyage.

"Draw 2 cards."
That's literally the text of the card.

Also the strategy wouldn't exactly work, since zerg-rushing Sword Hunter with Exodia+limbs would hit you with over 10k damage, and I just learned that you can't use Waboku to block that since at some point they changed it so that not only does it stop damage, it stops your monsters from dying in battle as well(Sword Hunter needs to kill them for it to work).

A thought though, what would be the point of giving your opponent the ability to instakill you (AFAIK, Exodia stuff are top tier legendary artifact type cards, at least from what I've seen of the cartoon or something)? Unless maybe you had the ability to switch that Sword Hunter back to your side before the opponent had a chance to act on it.

Course, I know nothing about Yugioh CCG, so, I'm just being confused.

I just realized that A.  the first Spongebob movie is a retelling of the Odyssey, with the cyclops guard, a return to a taken over home, and intervention from god-like entities, and of course, the bag of winds that leaves the characters with it, exactly where they started... and B. The squeaky boots episode is literally just the tell tale heart, and the magic conch shell is a reference to Lord of the flies.... YouTube comments man

The trick is to play Giant Trunade, which sends all Spell cards on the field back to their owners' hands - the Exodia cards are equipped to Sword Hunter(who is opponent controlled, and I'm pretty sure the Exodia cards occupy their spell card zones), but you own them, so they're sent back to your hand.
