This misrepresents actual luddism.
Yes, I know it's supposed to be funny.
It fails in my mind.

Oh, the wardrobe's a century out-of-date, too. Wrong Hands is much better at literary accuracy than historical accuracy.

Still mad that the only thing Elongated Muskrat's Metal Gear does right is look cool.

I'm still waiting for something better than the low-poly version. At the price they're asking, they can afford to give us something better than a background element.
Hey, look - a photo of Sydney that doesn't include the Sydney Opera House!

You remember the 2008 New Beetle/Pokemon pika-beetles Nintendo had made, right? Well, for the new TF:One movie, Alpha Trion turns into a Ki-rin, which made me think of him as Suicune, and then led to proposing TF1 "Bumblebee" (Who I call Dumbassotron, retroactively collecting all the cocky youn gpunk with a sports car altmode bayformer influenced "Bumblebees" as well, as the real Bumblebee is a super-fuel-efficient long duration scout, chunky and kind of slow in vehicle form, and is a humble, generally cool headed veteran with more years of experience than the human race has existed for.)
![[Image: 714aOY5AgyL._AC_SL1500_.jpg]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714aOY5AgyL._AC_SL1500_.jpg)
even vanilla his horn probably goes "pika-pika"
Right, got distracted. So as I was saying, Dumbassotron as a Pokemon x Transformers collaboration figure, like they've done with Ghostbusters, Back To The Future, Jurassic Park, Volvo, and more recently Universal Movie Monsters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
But wait, there's more! How far will I go for a stupid joke?
ALL THE WAY, MOTORTRUCKER!

It was 55 years ago, to the day, that the photos assembled into this panorama were taken by Neil Armstrong.

Well.. that's... certainly someone who risks it all on faith, and would appreciate having healing magic. I remember skipping the anime now due to the summary; reading the wiki information confirms that it sounds like the right choice. What a moron.

Your timing is peccable. (No, not impeccable.) The liquor stores re-open tomorrow morning.
