Alright, Ryoga! From Shigoku to Paris to Yokohama but never where he needs to be!
Heh, yep. I use that icon because, well, I can associate with Ryoga on constantly getting lost.
I've gotten lost in my own hometown on a number of occasions...

stuck pig syndrome, noun
The tendency to use the same metaphor inappropriately in other situations. For example, taking the common metaphor "bleeding like a stuck pig" and saying "I'm sweating like a stuck pig" or "That thing is leaking like a stuck pig."

My husband talks like that all the time. Drives me up a wall!

...Also known as a mixed metaphor.
As in, "It's dog eat dog in this rat race"
Or, "Does the pope s**t in the woods?" -- a combination of two sayings, both of which mean You've just said something obvious.

For me it's Maya & Miguel 
. Ewwwwwwwwww! The show should just be called Maya because the don't even concentrate on her twin brother very much. I'm typing this post so I don't have to watch it. (It's on at 4:00 (right now) where I live). Maya is insensitive and treats people with problems like an amputated arm and (I assume) AS differently from everyone else. Anything that she thinks that person may have difficulty doing, she excludes that person. If she even thinks that someone is feeling badly, she gets some crazy idea and goes way to extreme by trying to help them. For example, her brother Miguel wants an autograph from a star baseball player, so she and her friends dress up as the Baritone Boys, who are to start the game with the Star-Spangled Banner. And she can't sing! Plus, when that fails, she takes the mascot, puts herself inside it and chases the star baseball players around, making them lose! 
Plus she's always talking in Spanish and I can't understand her! And worst and most annoying of all... Whenever she gets some crasy idea that eventually causes a horrible disaster, her hairband glows hot pink and she says "S-O-S!" How stupid is that? Ewwewwewwewwewwewwewwewwwwwwwwww! I can't stand her!

I can't stand her!Okay, first of all, you have some of the show's info wrong. When Maya says 'sos', she's really saying "!Eso es!" which means "That's it!" in Spanish. And I like that they both speak in English and Spanish. It's helping me learn! When you live in a society where you're hearing Spanish nearly every day, you may at least try to learn a little bit of it (although I think they should definently learn English!). Yes, I think Maya does over-do things, but all she's trying to do is help people. At least she has good intentions. And yes, the show can drag on and on, but it's not like that for every episode. Some episodes can keep me on the edge of my seat! So next time if you're going to bad mouth "Maya and Miguel", try and think of the positives about the show. I'm not saying anything bad about Pokemon, am I?
