oh it was just a dream. Archibald wakes up.— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Mr Lunt is Pancho. Archibald tells him "I just had the impossible dream"
Mr Lunt keeps suggesting different adjectives to describe the dream. I love veggietales humor #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
okay so Archibald & lunt work at a diner in the wild west #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
news! a new restaurant (The Food Factory) is opening in town! competition! oh noooo #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
oh no, it opened right across the street from the diner. oh no it's already open. oh nooooo— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
customers all desert them & rush to the new restaurant #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
the hamburger logo of The Food Factory is like the burger in Archibald's dream! Oh no! his dream was warning him! it's all coming true #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Archibald is so unhappy, so hopeless, how can they ever compete w The Food Factory? Lunt is encouraging him. #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Archibald has another dream. A bunch of funhouse mirrors surround him creepily. #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
He says his dream told him how they would combat the Food Factory. it means "to succeed, I need to be different than I am now"— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
seems like Lunt also had an idea but Archibald ignores him #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
umm they rebranded themselves as some kind of ... generically Asian restaurant?— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
and then some other things
"Joppa Java. Why pay a little for coffee when you can play a lot?" LOLOLOLOL pic.twitter.com/27gPExds5B
the customers across the street are like "come over here!" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
omggg they rebranded as a chuck e cheese knockoff, I love it pic.twitter.com/pYlZr5f6cC— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Cheese E Rodent #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Lunt is still optimistic. Archibald is like "Don't you get it??? We're going to lose it all!" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Mr Nezzar walks in. says he is the manager of The Food Factory & wants to hire them bc the customers said Lunt is a great waitor. Lunt pretends he's never heard of The Food Factory & says no. #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales pic.twitter.com/gZVJaIrzrY— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Nezzar encourages Lunt to "think about yourself" & leave Archibald. Lunt says NO, bc "a friend is always loyal" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Archibald says Lunt can go ahead & go. everyone else has deserted him. Lunt says no, he's not going to leave. #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
That night, Archibald dreams a restaurant is chasing him. Like, the building is hopping along after him. #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Lunt says he has a new idea! (LOLLL a "touchdown turkey") Archibald ignores him & says they are going to "attack the Food Factory" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales pic.twitter.com/lyRw83kD2S— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Lunt: "unless i'm mistaken, attacking restaurants is against the law"— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Archibald: "weren't you paying attention? this is my quest!"
Lunt: "i'm telling you this as a friend. you can't do this."
Archibald: "yes I am. & you're going to help" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
Lunt goes out & makes an announcement that Archibald is going to DEFEND THE HONOR of his restaurant— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
the Food Factory customers are like "leave him & join us" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
oh btw Archibald's name is Don Quixote #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
he challenges the Food Factory to a fight. loser has to leave town.— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Food Factory manager is like "... if you attack me i'll have you arrested..." #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
Archibald keeps saying he MUST attack them. Lunt tries to talk him out of it.— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Archibald charges forward & umm gets stuck & falls down.
oh now he is in jail #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
Bob is the sheriff— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Lunt comes to visit him in jail, bringing pajamas & chips & salsa
Bob mutters that spicy salsa will give you nightmares #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
Lunt decides NOT to give him the salsa. he says he is doing what's best for his friend. Archibald is like NOOOOOO #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
next morning Archibald says he didn't dream at all. Lunt is like "I knew it!" the salsa was causing the dreams— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Nezzar decides not to press charges
Bob says Archibald can go if he agrees to stop eating the salsa #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
yayyyyy the diner decided to open for breakfast! now they have lots of customers #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Archibald thanks Lunt for being a good friend & sticking with him when things were hard #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
now it's time for silly songs w Larry! Larry is a kid whose ball went over the fence, into the gated community #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales pic.twitter.com/L6FnE01vFl— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
the gated community residents are singing abt you "when you come to visit, you can stand outside & see" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales pic.twitter.com/pRphOT721L— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
............... is this a critique of the gap between economic classes #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
all right then. now we are watching the story of "Sheerluck Holmes & the Golden Ruler"— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Larry is Holmes, Bob is Watson #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
they are telling the customers in this bar abt the case they solved. umm seems like Holmes doesn't understand the long words like "superlative" that the bar patrons use #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Holmes & Watson #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales pic.twitter.com/ebHfWLMSr7— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
seems like Holmes is taking all the credit, but actually Watson is the one who actually understands stuff. Watson is a huge nerd & the bar customers are bored listening to him... #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Watson is unhappy bc Holmes gets all the credit. confronts Holmes abt it #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
but they are interrupted by Scooter Carrot "there's been a roooooobery at boooookingham pooolace" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
at the palace, Archibald says a key was stolen— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
the key for the door where the golden ruler is kept
Watson is taking this very seriously!!! Holmes seems to think it's not that urgent #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
"as near as I can figure, whoever stole this has a great dislike for soft pillows. because, if you're gonna steal a key, who wouldn't take this pillow?"#PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales pic.twitter.com/q3iislP6Et— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Holmes says the thief must be headless, that's why they didn't take the pillow #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
the Golden Ruler is the most valuable treasure in the entire kingdom! #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Lunt & Nezzar are police. Holmes & Watson are unhappy with how they are disturbing the crime scene #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales pic.twitter.com/eoQjHhtDkB— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
a secret passageway! the thief must have used it to steal the key #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
they go back to the bar. Holmes brags to everyone that they will catch the thief soon. #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Holmes brags to everyone abt how amazing he is. Watson is upset at how Holmes is taking all the credit. Watson leaves #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Watson says it really hurts when someone says they're your friend but they don't treat you like one :( #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Watson tells Holmes he just doesn't get it. Watson leaves. #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
later, Holmes is alone. Scooter Carrot runs in & says the Golden Ruler has been stolen. Holmes is having a lot of trouble understanding his accent #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Holmes goes looking for Watson. can't find him.— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Watson's maids are like "shame on you for not being a better friend" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
the maids said Holmes should have followed the golden rule #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Holmes goes back to Buckingham Palace to work on the case himself #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Holmes: "tell me everything you know"— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Archibald: "oh my, everything? well let's start with history. the moors invaded spain in 711 AD..." #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
Archibald says the theft must have happened during the changing of the guard.— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Holmes really has no idea how to work on the case without Watson #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
suddenly the king announces that Nezzar has figured out that the theif & ruler are still in the palace somewhere. actually Nezzar just eavesdropped on Holmes- Holmes was the one who figured that out. Holmes is unhappy abt Nezzar taking credit #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
suddenly Holmes understands what Watson was so upset abt— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
"we need to treat others how we want to be treated"
king: "that's exactly what the golden ruler says! that's why it's the most valuable treasure" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
Watson comes back! says he knows who the thief is! #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Watson says one of the guards is a spy!— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
"first, there were the footprints we found in the key room. they're the exact size of a pea" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales pic.twitter.com/2a05VqM3FG
Watson also found cheese & bagette crumbs! so it was a French spy! #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
yay they found the spy & the ruler— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
king says the case is solved "all because of you, Holmes"
Holmes says no, it was Watson #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
this is what the golden ruler look like— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
it has this text "Treat others the way you want to be treated" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales pic.twitter.com/UOBEnnKtDm
yayyyyyyy now they are working as a team & Holmes gives Watson the respect he deserves #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
We're back to Bob & Larry on the counter. Larry apologizes for making fun of South Dakota— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Bob: "historically it's been a very forgiving state" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
we learned from "Sheerluck Holmes" that being a good friend means treating ppl like we want to be treated— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
we learned from "the asparagus of La Mancha" that a good friend will do what's best for their friends & stick by them when they need us #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
Bob sums up by saying if you want to make friends, you should work on being a good friend :) #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
that's the end of VeggieTales "Sheerluck Holmes & the Golden Ruler." Let's discuss #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
so the lesson in this one was "how to be a good friend." yeah overall I think it was a good lesson #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
for the 1st part "the asparagus of la mancha" it was abt how Mr Lunt was a good friend to Archibald. He didn't abandon him when their restaurant was failing #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
yeah that's good— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
I would have a problem if it was like "don't prioritize your own happiness when making decisions abt your career, you should stay in a bad situation bc other ppl want you to" but they didn't present it that way, so that's good #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
they summarized it as "stick with your friend when they need help" which is a good way to look at it. when they need help. not "when they want you to ignore your own needs & your own happiness" or anything like that #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
also there was the part where Archibald said he needed spicy salsa before bed, & Lunt suddenly realized that's what was causing the nightmares, so he refused to give it to him #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
kind of a "tough love" thing, but I think this is a situation where it made sense. & the important thing is Lunt & Archibald had been best friends for a long time- Lunt knew him well enough to realize that's what he needed #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
i'm really really uncomfortable w Christians using language abt "do what's best for" someone, bc usually what they mean is Christians should be in charge of other ppl's personal lives #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
but in this specific example, it made sense, and at the end when they did "what we learned today" they didn't emphasize the "do what's best for your friend" part that much. so I think it was done well. #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
they didn't spend a bunch of time talking about "sometimes you have to not let other ppl make their own decisions abt their own personal lives", thank goodness #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
now let's talk about the "Sheerluck Holmes" story. I also think this one was good. #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Holmes was being insensitive & taking all the credit for solving the cases. he didn't realize that Watson was so upset abt it— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
Watson did try to tell him but Holmes didn't get it #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
but then Holmes learned we have to appreciate other people & give them credit they deserve, & then the story kind of generalized this to "treat others how you want to be treated" (the golden rule) #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
so, that's good, that's a good lesson #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
nothing massively problematic in this VeggeTales episode. And, umm, I think that's because THEY DIDN'T USE BIBLE STORIES #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
I've reviewed lots of VeggieTales episodes that were reenactments of bible stories, and, uh, *cringe* #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
those episodes ignored deeply f***ed-up aspects of the stories, like war & genocide, or tried to simplify the bible story into one little tidy sunday school lesson that just wasn't what the story was about #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
so I think it's good that this one used other culturally-recognized stories, & then could change them however they wanted bc we all know it's just making a *reference* to that story, not actually trying to tell the real story #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
like "oh isn't it fun that veggietales did a sherlock holmes story"- nobody is like "hey that's not WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED in the REAL sherlock holmes books" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
whereas if it was a bible story, I would have the expectation that they're actually presenting a valid telling of the actual story #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
another point i'd like to bring up: so, the question that they were answering in this veggietales episode was "how do I make friends?"— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
umm I was an undiagnosed autistic child & their advice would have been useless to me #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
when I was a little kid in elementary school, I really wanted to have friends & was completely baffled as to how other kids managed to make friends & I didn't #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
IT TURNS OUT that probably the biggest component of "how to make friends" is YOU NEED TO TALK TO PEOPLE— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
this was not obvious to me #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
well also it was really confusing how to talk to people, there were like all these confusing social rules that I didn't understand— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
also I just wanted to talk abt dinosaurs all the time & for some reason the other kids didn't? #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
I remember sometimes in Christian books/magazines I would read articles abt what to do if there's some kid at your school who's all alone & no one talks to them. but I didn't find any advice about what if YOU ARE the kid who's all alone #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
so........... the advice in this Veggietales episode is good, but it wouldn't have helped me make friends at all. like, definitely if I was in a situation like what happened to the veggies, I would know to do the right thing...— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
... but how does one even get into that situation (having friends) in the first place? #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
anyway i'm not saying that means there's something wrong with the advice that VeggieTales gave here. just want to point out that some kids (like 8-year-old-Perfect-Number) are gonna need way more help than this, to learn how to make friends #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
that's all for this episode, thanks for tuning in :)— Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2019年3月17日
