Things I Have Learned Today

crossover_chick-->Blistered Thumbs, which is either part of or an affiliate of That Guy With The Glasses, has Alice videos! There's a review by Sage (he wasn't particularly impressed), and a playthrough of what looks like the first level by a bunch of people whom I don't know. They're not very good, though I don't know if I should attribute this to newbiedom or them having a chat screen open at the same time, apparently. *shakehead*
-->Speaking of Alice, the "Madness Returns is AWESOME!" video set revealed something to me that I didn't notice before:
Those numbers the "ghosts" of the children wear at the end of the game, that Bumby's been sticking on them? Yeah, they're wearing them at the BEGINNING, too. Dark.
-->Today was warm, but not as hot as yesterday, thank God. I could hang out in my room with the fans and be comfy enough.
-->Been reading up on food tropes at TV Tropes. Thinking of doing a "favorite foods" post on my "Victor Luvs Alice" tumblr once they settle the situation with their servers (just got an error message).
-->I have discovered a new type of sandwich: the chip butty. This is a UK sandwich made from buttered white bread -- and French fries (called "chips" over there).
Yes. Someone invented the French fry sandwich. There is also a potato chip (or "crisp") version.
Naturally, I just wrote a drabble for my 100 Drabbles describing Butterfly Boy making one for a treat. XD Marty's reaction is basically, ". . .FRENCH FRY SANDWICH." I mentioned blood pudding and snapdragons (burning brandy-soaked raisins -- at Christmastimes it's a game to grab them from the dish and eat them while they're still burning) for flavor.
-M: Dear British People: Your food is WEIRD.-
I'm sure they'd say the same about some of ours.
-M: They can't say it about my town. Hill Valley is perfectly normal when it comes to food.-
*opens mouth*
-M: Edna's 1986 doesn't count!-
Aw man. . . .
-D: She's just going to try and come up with something else for us to have that's weird now.-
-M: Let her try.-
Oh-ho, a CHALLENGE. . . .
