Just...................whatever [5]

Petty is made of pink cotton candy.

I'll have you know I can soak up an entire bottle of spilt buckie with that beard.

I thought you were a cat in a bottle.

"Why has the myth of American exceptionalism, characterized by a belief in America’s highly distinctive features or unusual trajectory based in the abundance of its natural resources, its revolutionary origins and its protestant religious culture that anticipated God’s blessing of the nation—held such tremendous staying power, from its influence in popular culture to its critical role in foreign policy?"

Because it's not a myth.

Spoiler:

Loving the new avatars everyone. Especially Petty's.

Within 2 days most of the forum is using it!!!

It is kind of weird. I'd never glanced at it twice, but when I noticed you and THA both had similar avatars I had to ask, and then it seemed like fun to join in.

I bet it was Lance's middle finger that got you all excited.

Okay, just.. very short term. And then I'm going back to Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang.

Welcome to the dark side, Blue!

I dunno how long I'll keep this one, but I am kinda feeling like an ATLA avatar again after this one, since I'm continuing my rewatch after a break for Game of Thrones and anime stuff.

Actually I was just about to watch The Drill.

Excellent choice. I've been revamping my list of favorite episodes as I go and I expect The Drill to rank well, although there are so many good choices in Book 2.

Yeah, I think I like all of season 2. Except perhaps The Swamp, I thought the hilbilly waterbenders a bit much, although it was better than I remember when I rewatched it recently, and the Apa episode is a bit indulgent, but fun.

I like "The Swamp" a bit better than a lot of ATLA fans I know, but it's definitely one of the weaker ones in the season. "Avatar Day" is my hands-down worst episode of Book 2 though. It ranks down there with some of those tonally weird "finding their feet" episodes from Book 1 (though I generally think Book 1 is underrated).

"Appa's Lost Days" is dope. I'm fond of a lot of the episodes that narrow in on a single character for special focus, and I think it's great that they gave an animal character an episode like that. It's mid-tier, granted, but for being largely non-verbal and such a change of pace from the rest of the arc I think it's an impressive accomplishment.

these avatars are cool

What's with all the generic cartoon avatars?  Me no likey.

Hold on let me photoshop them all onto a roundabout.

Naw but seriously, can the face app handle hair as magnificent as Halfy's?

Whaaa.. I like Avatar Day.

The Rough Rhinos are a bit easily defeatable, and there's not much that happens, but I liked the whole putting the Avatar on trial thing. (Maybe that' the lawyer in me talking.)

The community service thing is really silly, but I can't help but laugh at it.

Yeah, as an idea it's great. I'm just not sure the content merits a full episdoe. But, true, it something different you do once. And as such it's a lot of fun.

The only one I really like is Petty's. The rest got no personality. I'll be happy when this fad wears off...

Hey, I have a green jacket. If that doesnt scream personality.. then what does?
