Let's ban everything that is addictive, physically or psychologically.

I fail to see how that's any smarter as opposed to option 3.

Without Palin, Obama would have had an actual landslide, because more Republicans would have stayed home.

Obama did have an actual landslide.

Did your places have the booths in a room, or were they just lined up in a hallway?

A small building in the back, the size of my bedroom.

No line.  As soon as I signed in, there was a booth open for me.

Religion aside, I feel that post marriage is the best way to be sure that a marriage will work in the first place.

But that's the opposite of what Dan Savage taught me!

Internet Explorer and Opera are making me lose sanity at a rapid rate.

Looking at that picture I think it's the other way around.

Well, I've got Photobucket... (and that's where I've been posting everyone else and no one complained, so... I don't know. Sorry, all)

According to a very quick check, I saw that Photobucket takes PNGs, so I don't get this excuse.

With the SML2 stuff I could kind of forgive the JPEG compression a little, but now I can't see anything at all.

EM: I'm not saying they should just take out the yo-yos. I'm just saying I wouldn't care if they did.

Maybe I was a little less serious than you?

I wonder if anyone would care/know about Earthbound if Bird Person didn't bring it here...

I beat EarthBound long before Bird Person registered or anything.

This is old news, so my hope that it means something has died. But I actually hear that there are copyright issues being worked out with the rerelease. Like in StarTropics, the Island Yo-Yo is renamed the Island Star because Yo-Yo is copyrighted in Canada. There are a bunch of yo-yos in EarthBound, of course... calling them all, "Star," "Trick Star," "Combat Star," would be pretty confusing as to what you're "shooting." I mean, what do you call a yo-yo if not that?

But... I never use yo-yos or slingshots in EarthBound. Their superiority over other available weapons is usually not very significant and otherwise short-lived, and you can't score a "SMAAAASH" with a shooting weapon. So I wouldn't really care if they just got taken out of the game.

Yeah it would probably be good to significantly change the gameplay to get around an easierly solved trademark issue.  I'm as serious right now as you were.  I'm a little surprised that they make all the North American releases synchronized for that, since "yo-yo" has been untrademarked since 1965.  Meanwhile, I get the feeling that Band-Aid might be trying to claim their trademark more now, if their new lyrics are any indication, so then what do you do for the Hand-aid?
