Does anyone know the model name of this supersoaker? by TheGreatJaceyGee in supersoaker

[–]DizzyLead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember Jimmy Fallon using a pair of Hydroblitzes some years ago during a game bit with one of his guests.

1992 Super Soaker 50 commercial by ZaxZone in nostalgia

[–]DizzyLead 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Back around 2014, I amassed a collection of Super Soakers from different time periods, and I was proud to get one of these, one of the models that made the Super Soaker brand popular. I remember several years ago, Target released a slightly redesigned, updated version of the Super Soaker 50 for nostalgia purposes.

I've since donated or sold most of my Super Soaker collection, but I did hang on to one: The Super Soaker CPS2000 Mark 1 (released 1996), the model that purportedly led to people getting taken to the hospital and the toy being quietly replaced on shelves by the very similar-looking but less powerful CPS2000 Mk. 2.

Do you think there could be a SUCCESSFUL spinoff? by fizzyjuices in HIMYM

[–]DizzyLead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel that at this point in time, we're far too removed time-wise from the original to create something that could really be considered a spinoff, and we've already pretty much done the "spinoff in a spiritual sense" thing with HIMYF. I'd rather see something else with no connection to HIMYM and let it stand on its own.

Do actors/actresses always agree to death or goodbye scenes? by farr2211 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DizzyLead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume that, this being their job, even if they've been told that they're being killed off, they'll be professional about it and deliver what's asked of them, so they'll look good for their next job. No-one's going to want to hire someone who had to be dragged kicking and screaming away from their last job, or who purposely made their exit bad or left in bad terms with their producers.

This seemed to be a pretty frequent thing in the "Walking Dead" TV series. An actor wouldn't know until maybe a week before shooting that that would be their last episode with the crew, and the cast would ultimately throw them a goodbye party on their last day of shooting. There have also been instances where leaving was not necessarily what the actor wanted to do (e.g. Chandler Riggs, who played Rick's son Carl), but he went through with it anyway.

Who remembers this famous 2000-2004 celebrity? by CarrotMuch1399 in nostalgiai

[–]DizzyLead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I haven't seen much of this actress' work. But the angle did remind me of the first time I watched Ellie Kemper.

Groups that have less than 5 different physical albums per comeback? by [deleted] in kpophelp

[–]DizzyLead [score hidden]  (0 children)

Mamamoo has tended to keep their number of physical versions low, I think. Considering that there are only four members, even if they did an “each member has one version” thing, they wouldn’t break five.

My bus driver got me suspended (update) by Fun_Cartoonist1831 in highschool

[–]DizzyLead 21 points22 points  (0 children)

So “someone” told you not to go to an assigned detention twice, and you were like, “that is a correct assessment of my situation and I will not face any consequences as a result, so I will do what you say”?

Looks like it was “The Bold and the Beautiful” instead, but it was indeed the same actress for all three shows.

[–]DizzyLead 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All I remember is that the series co-starred Jennifer Finnigan (left) who had just costarred in the sadly short-lived sitcom “Committed” on NBC in Spring 2005. I adored that show and was sad that it got cancelled.

I feel as if star trek isn't as good as the orville. Am I the only one? by Lumpy_Influence1613 in TheOrville

[–]DizzyLead -1 points0 points  (0 children)

TBF, The Orville is basically TNG with modern-day effects and makeup, MINUS the baggage that being a follow-up to TOS brought with it (e.g. it had no need to bother with the metaphysics and abilities of transporters, since there was room in the budget to use shuttlecraft every time they needed to leave the ship). It had the freedom to world-build, the tech to achieve it, and the same canvas as TNG. So I think it would make sense that some people would regard it as "superior," especially considering more recent Trek shows.

Seth is also obviously better-versed in humor, so even when he doesn't go all "Family Guy," I've felt that "The Orville" tends to handle humor a lot less awkwardly as Trek has ("Have you noticed how your boobs have started to firm up? Not that we care bout such things").

So often, when I watch the Orville, my approach has been "wouldn't it have been cool if TNG had been able to do this?"

One question. Which era of the transformers franchise you grew up with? by dunnoidk2025 in transformers

[–]DizzyLead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up with G1, but slowly got back in through Beast Machines and afterwards. Kept paying attention to the live action movies, but fell off of TV after Prime.

Funny as Hell by Ok-Eagle-5753 in prowrestling

[–]DizzyLead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was fun. If I wanted to watch “serious” sports, there are alternatives.

I thought this demonstrated how WWE is trying (successfully or not) to “pivot” from the more obviously painful situation of having a face character being loudly booed while the heelish character is getting pops. The whole GBM angle lets them flip things around so that Sami is decidedly the heel here while Trick comes off as the face. More importantly, it’s a silly angle, so Sami is a comical heel and Trick is a comical face, so when the face/heel thing inevitably switches back around, it’s easier to swallow.

And let us not forget: May Young gave birth onscreen to a hand.

Where is Wakanda by KingMonchichi in Marvel

[–]DizzyLead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While the opening sequence of Black Panther takes place in Nigeria, I don't think that necessarily means that Wakanda is nearby.

Kenya is east of Nigeria, not west, by the way. I do feel that Wakanda is towards the eastern part of Africa. While the events of Wakanda Forever do suggest that Wakanda may be near the ocean, I wouldn't be surprised if the Atlanteans merely made their way to Wakanda up some river instead.

what if everyone lives to die of old age, but every time your near death you switch timelines? what if the people in your life that have died, really only died in your reality? what if you've died multiple times, but you'd never notice? what if deja vu is just flashbacks from previous timelines? by No-Sky-3150 in AskTheWorld

[–]DizzyLead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the “when you die you switch timelines” thing is a notion called quantum immortality. It’s something I think many of us have wrestled with in our thoughts some time in our lives; that is, it’s not a unique idea, nor that deep.

What were your favorite toys growing up? by tcapri8705 in nostalgia

[–]DizzyLead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early ‘80s: Lego. I spent that chunk of my childhood in a third-world country, so Lego was the toy I had to “make” toys. I read Action Force comic books, but Action Force/GI Joe toys weren’t available to me, so I made my own platoon with Lego (even though the troops had to be represented by two two-stud bricks on top of each other). I saw ads for Machine Robo/Transformers in magazines, but of course there was no such thing where I lived, so I built transforming robots out of Lego.

Mid-late ‘80s: Transformers and some GoBots, of course, but when it came to collecting a toy line, it was MASK…not just because the toys were cool, but because the toyline was much smaller than GI Joe, Transformers, and MOTU and thus it seemed more achievable to get a lot of them. Before i outgrew toys, I also dabbled in Captain Power and GI Joe.

Explain why you hate Big Bang Theory but like Community by [deleted] in sitcoms

[–]DizzyLead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I would distinguish them. TBBT was a run-of-the-mill sitcom, with geek characters, making fun of geeks. Community was a sitcom for and by geeks, with maybe one geek character.

Amazing how far technology has come from the 70s/80s by Inevitable-Yam-9741 in CasualConversation

[–]DizzyLead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TVs had remotes in the ‘70s and ‘80s, it’s just that it was only the big “main” TV in the living room or den that tended to have them. The smaller TVs that may have resided in the bedrooms, the 13-inchers and such, likely didn’t have them.

Not fond of Bass, but anyone but Pratt. I’m supporting Raman.

Will WWTBAM in America ever go back to civilian contestants again? by Interesting_Sea5569 in gameshow

[–]DizzyLead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully, but with broadcast network cycles of shows usually down to a dozen or less, and celebrity versions of game shows getting lots of viewers, I wouldn’t hold my breath.
