They included the Rose Festival dragon boats! I’m cap’n of my company’s team.
I read “Oregon Trail”. Now I want to see Oregon Trail with Studio Ghibli graphics. Who knew that dysentery could be adorable!
At least this time we got the credits of who did it.
Still want giant ridable rabbit.
Rabbitbus!
Pretty cool, but not even a single tree stump?

Bonus if it has Fred Armisen
Fred Armisen has the hands-down best Finding Your Roots episode ever.
