Speaking of Chicken-boy

My mom and little baby sister met the father of my hated foe and former roommate Chicken-boy today. His daddy does something or other at the Greatest University in the Lone Star State. But this was a freakin' year after I asked Chicken-boy if it'd be okay if my momma and little baby sister imposed on Chicken-boy's very busy dad and... I forgot to re-check.

Still, I'm sure Chicken-boy's dad was expecting, a couple of, shall we say, big-boned people to be related to me. And my mom suggested it took a couple of seconds for him to connect our common last name with "Rupe". Still, pretty cool. Very nice of Chicken-boy's daddy. Thank you.

The NPCC's Ignorance of History

From Chicken-Blog.

So the National Prostate Cancer Coalition attributes Optimus Prime's death to prostate cancer. Um, where have they been? As recounted in 1985's Transformers: The Movie, Optimus Prime died sometime this year at the hands of his hated foe, Megatron. He was actually doing really well, but then Hot Rod (later Rodimus Prime) jumped in the way and Megatron got hold of some little pistol thingy and shot Optimus.

For shame, NPCC! Of course, Optimus came back when he was discovered in some big space graveyard and revived for the purpose of ending some hate plague. Not unheard of, but that was a few years later, at the very tail end of the movie-based Transformers episodes (much cooler than the previous ones, since by that time we had seen characters DIE), and I suppose right before the Headmasters episodes that nobody saw.

This rewriting of long-established historical current events must not stand!

However, Robot Chicken's funny.
