That's one of the things about role-playing games is the stats. In my opinion, there should be some sort of random element - luck should play a factor. If you wing a sword and it always hits just because its pixels hits the opponent's pixels, then it starts swaying away from the feel of a RPG and becomes more of an action game. (That's one of the reasons why I was disappointed when I heard about Oblivion changing the way "Block" worked. Now it wasn't automatic if it "rolled" successfully - you had to hold down a button to do it. The Elder Scrolls was changing from a first-person RPG to more of a twitch action game. :/ )

I've never been too fond of pancakes. But waffles are great! Those little pockets are perfect for holding on to syrup or jam.

Unless this is an actual character trait of a specific character, there's a trope about this - the idiot ball. Often considered a sign of poor writing, where an otherwise intelligent character is suddenly prone to stupid behavior, where even this MENSA genius can be thwarted by a child-proof aspirin cap.
One good example of this can be found on Doctor Who, by the Doctor of all people! In the episode "The Time of Angels," the Doctor is leading his companions and a crew of soldiers through a complex, looking for Weeping Angels (aliens who turn to stone when you look at them). As they travel past hundreds of heavily worn statues, the Doctor regales them with stories about the native aliens who used to live on the planet, and how wonderful, enlightened and amusing they tended to be. When they get to the center of the complex, he reveals....
Spoiler:
... that the alien race were creatures with two heads. Guess how many heads each of the hundreds of statues they passed had? Cue the "oh crap" moment from everyone as they realize they are now surrounded by the creatures they came to hunt....
Years ago, there used to be a show called the Mickey Mouse Club. They spelled out Mickey's name as part of the title song. And it had Donald Duck attempting to crash the party, for some reason.
That's really weird... your typo inspired nostalgia. I don't think I've ever had that happen before.
In any case, I tend to be more fond of the classic Mickey (and Donald) cartoons moreso than the newer ones. The new ones just don't have the same feel of whimsy. With the exception of "Get a Horse," which debuted with "Frozen" (and was absolutely hilarious when seen in the theater- especially if you weren't expecting what happens in it!) I haven't seen too many new Mickey cartoons or shows which really made me laugh.

The primary flavors of the meat are dill and parsley, with a hit of onion and salt, and the main starch/filler component is not breadcrumbs, but uncooked rice. That way, as it cooks, the rice absorbs the juices from the meat. It's also cooked in tomato juice thinned with a hit of water as opposed to a marinara, or getting baked. They're crazy delicious.
When you get so sleepy, you start making up songs?
Some of them also can be annoying. Especially if they have repetitious songs that get stuck in your head.

I might have had them, but I don't remember. If I had, they obviously didn't leave that much of an impression on me.

I can't say that I've made up songs when I'm really tired. Any other time, though....
