Their rarity was frustrating, though. One hit, it's gone, and it's gonna be forever before you'll get to use it again.

The hammer suit was the one that got the "odd clothing" message. The Frog one was, IIRC, something like "Thank you, strange frog. Please tell me your name."

SMB3 didn't introduce that, though. SMB2 also had the "stage curtains" motif before and after each level, remember.

Yeah, but then you get bizarre stuff like them doing an advertisement featuring the anti-Nazi resistance from their show, and Trump supporters getting all offended over it because they can't tell the difference between themselves and fictional Nazis.

I dunno, Wilson was a pretty shitty person, but he did pass women's suffrage. He also kept the US out of WWI for probably longer than his opponents would have.

Washing machines?

Not to mention that even that infamous letter ended with:

The terrible trio:

You know what I mean. :-P

Oh, cut him some slack. He didn't have his alien leeches at the time, they were still back on the ship.

It was a joke, you guys! Seasons 12-18 all had the Doctor played by the same guy, so of course he's older in Season 18.

If they're talking about being blamed for causing it, they're absolutely right! Hoover hadn't been in office long enough to cause the crash.

WWFRBH: Ah, that makes perfect sense, since if you don't count the unfortunate circumstances around his election, Hayes wasn't a bad president at all. Not a great one, but not bad. It's that damn election and the subsequent deal that hurt him.

I'll admit it; I just wanted to make another Wiki Wormhole Favorite Rutherford B. Hayes joke. ;-) Those Schlesinger polls are indeed interesting, though. WWFRBH has really fallen in the world, hasn't he? In the Schlesingers, he's actually in the green zone—in the 1962 one, ahead of Monroe. Wow.

God, that C-SPAN poll bugs me more and more every time I look at it. Okay, put Coolidge ahead of Nixon, fine. Nixon had to resign, a lot of people hate Nixon. I get it. But then you go down the list, and:

Didn't leave South Dakota, though. He kept a "Summer White House" there to hang out and go fishing in the summers when he should have been working. People snuck buckets of live, tame fish into the pond near where he was staying, so that he'd think he was really great at fishing and want to come back. It worked! He…

That aggregate includes scores from the 20th century, though, which tend to be saner regarding CC, probably because there were still a lot of people alive that remembered the Depression. If you look at the ones since 2000, he averages at about 26.75, which is pretty darn close to the halfway point of 22.5. The…

Not always. The Doctor in Season 18 was definitely older than the one in Season 12.

I suspect just serving *one* more year would have torpedoed his rank.

Yes, he sounds like a senile old grandfather. That sepia-toned photograph must have been touched up, too, because he looks nowhere near as good in the video as he does in the photo.
