I should get a hobby that isn’t media consumption sure but have people considered that most hobbies cost money and, if not, take up space

Planning the Perfect Winter Getaway

The allure of a winter getaway, with its promise of powdery slopes, cozy fireside evenings, and scenic snow-covered landscapes, beckons the adventurous at heart. Whether you’re a seasoned snow enthusiast or looking to immerse yourself in the magic of winter for the first time, planning the perfect winter getaway requires thoughtful consideration. Here’s how to ensure your winter vacation is…

Commercial sell-outs

One of the more obscure Marvel Comics super villain was The Chairman, who made his appearance across several comic books in 1978. He had the power to turn people into chairs and was on verge of doing so to Spider-Man. I guess he just may exist in the same comic book universe as this alternate band, Josie and the Cup Cakes. We are not too far from mainline Archie here -- this premise for this story -- something of it was done with The Archies a couple times as Betty and Veronica needed to shoo away temporary replacement of "hot chick".

And a premise that shows up in Josie as well as Archie -- a psychic or medium or guru exposed as fraud. Though on this one -- I guess this guy ends up checking out.

A recurrent. Melody slips and slides on ice, panties flash a couple times, and guys rush in to pick her up. On the marathon dance contest, seems like a sitcomy set up.

And this is the world where problems are solved through Hostess snack food. So alluring, the guys just drop Melody. Familiar set ups continue to arise. Melody runs a lemonade stand. It's been done. For this particular lemonade battle, though, I see a plot hole -- why are they in competition at a charity bazaar? And won't this deplete the profits pretty totally?

And gorillas love Josie. At least twice. To be fair, in this third off-note time, the gorilla does not particularly have any affection toward Josie -- but he sure likes Hostess foods.

And while DC and Marvel are running with superheroes foiling dastardly actions by off-note supervillains through the help of Hostess pies and cakes, Archie has their teenagers deploying the pies to win favor or attention with either specific love interests or the opposite sex in general. Real "pie appeal" -- as a title of one of them puts it.

They make for good conversation fodder on a boring blind date! But if you find a shared interest he is interested in rambling on about and you are interested in hearing, go for it I guess.

Hostess food stuff is also useful to show up the snooty rich. The class war theme rears its head.

Proper motivation for athletic deeds.

And fighting crime and monsters. Now we are we are in Hostess universe Superhero territory!

Other good uses for Hostess products: insulting and taunting your supposed friends.

Dude really likes his Hostess products.

Good for sports injuries.

White trash candlelight romance.

Andy Warhol lives.

Whatever can Josie do to appease Alan M after a battle of the sexes saw the girls best the boys ... 30 to 9??? Good lord, that team stinks! On overhearing Melody in the changing room, supposing they assume she is trying on clothes -- what are they to make of Melody referring to some piece of clothing as "Yummy"?

Funny thing. Josie Hostess add did not appear in the pages of the Josie and the Pussycats comic book. There they switched out for an Archie one. The logic for this -- keep the comic book content separate from ad copy -- might be an explainer on why there are more Josie Hostess ads than Archie, Sabrina poking in with a few at the end. I am guessing that DC Hostess Superman would stay clear of Superman Comics and Hostess Fantastic Four not appear there either. For that matter Wendy the Witch is hawking Hostess titles not her own. Hostess Archie could not stay stay completely clear of the Archie titles, but they lightened the load.

Norway need to stop being cowards about Winter Olympics hosting

I've thought about this for a couple or 3 years now, and I've concluded that alleged economics graduates need to stop blatantly lying about the hosting costs, that the Norwegian Sports Federation need to stop giving up after mere weeks, and that Norway's rather aggressive de-centralisation movements need to stop being aggressive.

The cost estimates have been somewhere in the area of 2.3bill€, which is flatout wrong. Had I been prime minister, I'd have done it on 300mill€, simply because we already have all of the needed facilities. No need to build anything new at all. Even at the very most, we'd only need to make a Rena-Elverum trail path and a centre dugout in Friends Arena.
