Was it Magua who drafted Lorde? Your girl makes bad decisions.


I drafted a song, you vinegar fiend. Also, I know you’re a Lorde Stan, you’re not fooling me.

More importantly, @Rebels57 get a pick in so I don’t bat lead off tomorrow for the 25th pick in a row.

I don't regularly eat from food trucks, so I really have nothing in the real world to draw from. So, let's go to the not real world to conjure up some food truck magic.

The Honolulu Ghibli announce as our food truck venture: Poke's Delivery Service

(And that's pronounced Poh-KAY, for the uninitiated.)

Poke is as Hawaiian a dish as it gets, so add a Ghibli-inspired title, and we're going for theme theme theme! "Poke means 'to slice or cut' in Hawaiian and refers to chunks of raw, marinated fish — usually tuna — which is then tossed over rice and topped with vegetables and umami-packed sauces." It's pretty much sushi adjacent.

Balsamic vinegar is umami-packed sauce

It's delicious. First meal we had when we arrived on Hawaii.
 
It looks like they put lima beans on that poke. If so, that is f***ed. Beans are f***ed, but lima beans are especially f***ed.

Blech. Anyway, I'm going to go in a minute, so don't jacket just yet. After I plant my astonishingly great pick, @ajgoal will be on the clock, @Beef Invictus will be on deck, @BernieParent will be on the lido deck, and Jojo will be on the lido afterdeck.

Boy, they have really gone balls-deep on the idea that it's OK to have ugly people in commercials, amirite? F***'s sake. I don't really have a point, it's just something I thought of last night. To be honest, it's something I think of practically every time I see a commercial. I'm like, quote, "Are they not trying to appeal to people?" I don't ultimately care - I'm a businessman, but I'm not a fiDOUCHEiary, so I can't be arsed - it's just a handful of them that keep coming on, like this one cross-eyed weirdo, and this one fat nerd, and all the dullards, and the one f***er who is like, quote, "I may have committed some crimes, but I'm not a criminal." You should see my imitation of that guy - it's really super impressive, trust me.

The one girl in China is really pissing me off. She thinks she is way, WAY hotter than she is. She is also too old to be doing this show the way she is. With these shows, the older ones have to find a pocket to sit in - the younger ones they are surrounded by have loads of time to "try people on" and have options. The older ones are running out of time (on the clock the status quo uses, the one that says you should be married and have children by a certain age), and they know they are running out of time, and when they run around acting exactly the same as the younger ones while simultaneously trying (and failing) to hide their desperation to get a relationship over the line before the clock strikes, it looks pathetic. I would feel sorry for her if she was acting cool, but she's lame. And she's pissing me off because the rocket has finally found a decent guy, and this old one is trying to hijack it. At the same time, she has already stolen the one young guy away from this very sweet and cool and cute girl. I'd be happy for the latter not to end up with him, because while harmless, he's also just useless. I just don't like seeing her in pain. It's all so f***ing REAL, man.

I'll pick now.
 
The Trial By Combat pick is especially easy for me, because I have someone who does this all the time and always finds a way to win. The really cool thing about him is that he doesn't do it just to fight. He has ambitions, and he has to fight through all these battles to reach them, but there is always a reason beyond his own ambitions that makes him go after these f***ers. For example, he destroyed Don Quixote Doflamingo because of what the latter did to the people of Dressrosa, particularly his friend Rebecca's father.

There is always some injustice that he is righting when he gets in these one-on-one battles, and his rage fuels him. I like that, obviously. He tends to level up during or just prior to the fights, and every time it is as a result of his willpower. "People are drawn to him" is often said on the show, and it's true - he wins people over because of his inherent goodness, and once you are on his side, once you become his friend, there is nothing that he won't do to help you. He is utterly fearless. He is also the goofiest f***er of all time. He rules.

I was thinking of this when I wrote up the rules, and was reminded of it when Bernie picked the Archangel Michael. I don't want to fight the Archangel Michael - we are on the same side, like Bernie and I are on the same side in the Quackverse, outside of the hockey nonsense. These Trial By Combat characters will mostly be used against aliens and monsters and invaders, so unless we piss each other off too much out there, we don't have to worry about them fighting each other.
