![]() ![]() ![]() What frustrated me the most, with people who unboxed dozens of them especially, was the insistence to produce the slime according to instructions, even after complaining many times how messy it was and how the slime was backed up to rot inside the head. I confess that I was familiar with the poopsie ones from YouTube, where I got my lame fix of toys during your hyatus. For a topic like this, you don't want to be #2! Well, it was your duty to review this segment of toys. (Poop-off?) (Nice touch with the dog drinking out of the toilet bowl.) Reply Delete It's no surprise to me that she won the toy face-off. Plus, the outfit and the dog accessories all look nice and well-made. Of all of these, the only one I don't find disturbing is the dog, because I can easily imagine a child getting this set and pretending to have a real dog, and maybe learning that once they do get a real pet, they'll have to clean up after it, as well as feed it, walk it, and play with it. I had forgotten about Magic Sand up til now that was a pretty fun toy. I am so disturbed by Shelbert's poop yodelling. I'll confess I laughed pretty hard at that. I hope you're pleased with yourself.) man, but the dog. I also repeated aloud to myself, under my breath, various variations on "eMission accomplished? LOL (there was also a lot of facepalming at the myriad and terrible puns. Remember your "what were they thinking?" post many many long ages ago? I thought that phrase several times during this review. Y'know, I wouldn't have even thought about whether the pacifier would fit in the heart-shaped hole if you hadn't drawn my attention to its *ahem* suggestive shape. And I definitely got my money's worth of fun, at least from that first one. And those Sparkly Critters, even though they can't be reused, smell bad, and have a poop feature that isn't reliable, they're the cheapest of the bunch by far. I really wanted to give Gotta Go Turdle a higher place, too, because he's so cute and is a better-designed toy than the Sparkly Critters, but I'm not sure he has the staying power to be worth $30. However, the toy is not worth the current nearly $40 price, so they fall to third. The Pooparoos would have been in second place, mostly because the toilet is excellent (and could be used for a lot of different games) and because the figures can be used again and again. Also, the set comes with a doll, a nice outfit, and several really great accessories. And even though Tanner was the most expensive by quite a lot, she wins this category because she's the toy that I'm most likely to keep (Lina has bonded with her). I have to take into consideration the prices that I paid for each of these toys, not just their original retail value. This is a Pooparoo Surpriseroo by Mattel, and I think they first came out back in 2018: The first toy I'm going to show you lured me in with its brightly-colored toilet. So, I scooped up what I thought were four of the best poop-themed toys I could find, and here we are. You know me, once I've latched onto a theme of any kind, it's hard to stop. While researching the Cutie Tooties, I found a surprising number of other poop-themed toys.and I remembered the Sparkly Critter that was sitting in my Amazon cart. Then, two months later when I was doing the Mischa's Toy Jewels post, I discovered the Cutie Tooties, which come inside poop-shaped containers. We giggled over those for a bit and I threw one in my cart, but didn't actually buy it right away. These little rascals exude colorful slime from various orifices and look like this: The first thing that happened is that my friend Katrina (bad influence) sent me a link to a Poopsie toy called Sparkly Critters. But for anyone who stuck around, let me take a second to explain how this, uh, special review came about. I probably lost a few readers with that intro, wouldn't you say? Sorry-I couldn't help myself. But on the other hand, why muck about with a long, constipated introduction when I could just let 'er rip? Expelling words is the whole point of a blog, after all. ![]() And I don't want to soil my reputation by pinching off my prose or plopping down any old thing. That would eliminate all of the suspense and waste this valuable writing space. ![]() How does one introduce a review about poop-themed toys?

![]() ![]() I make these threads to prompt intelligent, analytical discussion about video games as narrative art and all comments pertaining to that discussion are welcome. This thread is a close reading of BioShock Infinite and I present it as a valid and factual breakdown based on the actual text of the game.But thank you for stopping by anyway, and maybe you will still enjoy the read. If you feel that way, this thread obviously isn't for you. Please do not use this thread as a platform to complain about how much you hate Infinite. Because Infinite's Vigor system does make sense, is explained culturally, is explained historically, and are as naturally woven into the plot as BioShock's more famous Plasmids. Vigors are only in BioShock Infinite because they had to be, because it's a BioShock game, and there is nothing more to it. It is a common complaint, a regular criticism, and something people cite as a weak point in BioShock Infinite's world. You may have clicked this thread because, like many, you agree that Vigors feel misplaced in BioShock Infinite.

Its closest approach will be at 12:03 p.m. It will also be moving much faster than most asteroids that fly by our planet, zooming by at 77,000 miles per hour. Known as 2001 FO32, the near-Earth asteroid will be 1.25 million miles away, or more than five times the distance between Earth and the moon, during its closest approach. Scientists estimate the asteroid is between 1,300 and 2,230 feet wide. The largest asteroid that has been predicted to make a close approach of Earth in 2021 will zip by – from a safe distance, we must add – on Sunday, according to NASA.

More than 300 million people will celebrate Nowruz (and you should, too) ![]() That’s why families use this time to deep clean their homes and closets and buy fresh clothing. It’s a celebration of new beginnings: wishing prosperity and welcoming the future while shedding away the past. So, the first day of the year always kicks off with the vernal equinox. The Iranian calendar is a solar calendar, meaning time is determined, through astronomical observations, by Earth’s movement around the sun. It’s no coincidence it falls on the first day of spring. Also known as Nauryz, Navruz or Nowrouz, it means “new day.” The new year will ring in on Saturday, March 20. When shoppers visit the market, they will get a free bundle of daffodils.Ĭultures around the world mark the occasion. So while some of the big draws are closed off, localities have plenty of safe ways to mark the coming of spring.įor example, Pike Place Market in Seattle will be celebrating its 24th annual Daffodil Day. Pike Place Market in Seattle will brighten visitors' day with daffodils. That’s why it gets increasingly hot as we head toward the summer solstice in June.īy the way, the equinoxes aren’t exactly ‘equal’ And now here we are at the spring equinox! Going forward, the Northern Hemisphere will be more exposed to the sun than the Southern Hemisphere. (That’s why it stays dark for so long each day during the winter in places such as Scandinavia and Alaska.)īut since the winter solstice three months ago in December, you’ve noticed that our days have been getting longer in the Northern Hemisphere and the nights shorter. Those are the solstices, and they have the most extreme differences between day and night, especially near the poles. The effect is at its maximum in late June and late December. This discrepancy in sunlight is what triggers the seasons. That positions one hemisphere of the planet to get more sunlight than the other for half of the year’s orbit around the sun. However, the axis tilts at 23.5 degrees, as NASA explains. It’s called the axis, and this rotation is what gives us day and night. The Earth rotates along an imaginary line that runs from North Pole to South Pole. Lovely cherry blossoms could be found in Ueno Park in Tokyo just a few days after spring equinox 2020. ![]() ![]() ![]() Highlight rows based on several conditions But instead of the whole table, you select a column or a range where you want to highlight rows and use the formulas described above.įor example, we could create three such rules to shade only the cells in the " Order number" column based on another cell value (values in the Delivery column). In fact, this is simply a variation of changing the background color of a row case. How to change a cell's color based on a value of another cell In this case, the row will only be highlighted if the specified text is found in the first position in the cell.įor this conditional formatting rule to work correctly, make sure there are no leading spaces in the key column, otherwise you might rack your brain trying to figure out why the formula does not work :) You can use this free tool to find and remove leading and trailing spaces in your worksheets - Trim Spaces add-in for Excel. To change the row color when the key cell starts with a particular value, use =1 in the formula, e.g.: For example, the Delivery column (F) may contain the text " Urgent, Due in 6 Hours", and this row will be colored as well. Using >0 in the above formula means that the row will be colored no matter where the specified text is located in the key cell. Highlight row if cell starts with specific text In the formula, E2 is the address of the cell that you want to base your formatting on, the dollar sign ($) is used to lock the column coordinate, and >0 means that the formatting will be applied if the specified text (" Due in" in our case) is found in any position in the cell.Ĭreate three such rules following the steps from the first example, and you will have the below table, as the result: In this case, you'd better use the SEARCH function that works for the partial match as well: As you see, different orders are due in 1, 3, 5 or more days and the above formula won't work because it is purposed for exact match. While the formula from our first example could work for "Delivered" and "Past Due"( =$E2="Delivered" and =$E2="Past Due"), the task sounds a bit trickier for "Due in…" orders. Naturally, the row color will change if the order status gets updated.

In October, Wabi Sabi’s sister restaurant Midorie will make its debut in Coconut Grove with a selection of sushi and upscale counter-service seafood and vegetables-based donburi (Japanese bowls).

This is essentially a modern day enterprise. Moving onto the only flat ride that I actually bothered to do at the park. Shock Drops aren't given enough credit, and I am genuinely happy that Kentucky Kingdom isn't shying away from having another drop tower because of what happened with Superman: Tower of Power back in its Six Flags days. ) But seriously, Fearfall is one of those Shock Drops and yeah. Remember what happened last time you had a drop tower. The star flat ride they have would be Fearfall. Here are the reviews of all the Flat Rides at Kentucky Kingdom. Please keep in mind that there is no review of Kentucky Flyer because it didn't exist when I last visited. There is a link to a review of all the Rollercoasters at Kentucky Kingdom. Everything that they've done for the park since reopening has been incredibly successful, and if they keep up the good work, I see a lot of good things in the future for Kentucky Kingdom. Hell, they're adding a new wooden coaster, Kentucky Flyer, to the park this year. Sure, the park does still feel like it was closed for 4 years and is still getting back on its feet in a few ways, but you can tell that they really are constantly breathing new life into the park. Lightning Run & Storm Chaser are MUCH better than their former star attraction back in the Six Flags days, Chang. And it's a good thing too, since Kentucky Kingdom is a nice little park that has some great coasters. Ed Hart criticized the move, and vowed to reopen the park himself, and sure enough, in 2014, Kentucky Kingdom rose from the dead, and reopened. The Koch Family, owners of Holiday World, tried to revive the park as Bluegrass Boardwalk, but that plan failed. Normally, the story would end there, but several people then tried to revive the park and give it a new lease on life. 3 years later, the park fell to bankruptcy and closed. ![]() Things got bad in 2007, when an accident on the Superman: Power Tower drop tower caused a 13 year old girl to get her feet cut off. Six Flags added several rides, and the park was doing really well. Eventually, he sold the park to Premier Parks, and then the park became Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom. He made it successful, and added several new rides. However, that failed and it seemed like it was destined to fail until Ed Hart came and bought the park. The park started out as a sort of extension of the Kentucky State Fair. Kentucky Kingdom is a very interesting park with an even more interesting history.
