Let’s see what we’ve got for another joke about twos. Hmm, perhaps something about wild deuces? That’s a sort of poker term, we think. Does that mean we’ve made the blind or the double blind? Well then, you’ve sunk my battleship. Prepare to go fish and go for all the marbles. Unless your hippos aren’t hungry enough to handle it.

Welcome to another episode of Mango Pulse where we consume and rate the world’s favorite fruit. We recently tackled the controversy of Kent mangoes and the low score received by Randy’s Fruit Stand.

Long days ago, when the nights were long and the game was slim. Great bookstores used to roam this land. We hunted them for their manga collections. Kodansha, Yen Press, even the lesser Tokyo Pop. All were plentiful. Something has changed and now we scavenge a barren land for the remains of those we used to hunt.

Bubble trouble? Prepare for muggle and make is subtle. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but we’ve already used the Team Rocket speech in an intro as well as quoting the witches from Macbeth. Also coupons and buy one get one free. It’s been hell of a week and we just sort of phone it in once in awhile. Plus, how many of you read this anyway? Cue angry emails about everyone who actually sees these descriptions.
