OK, I think I don't like the "Many Faces of Sydney Bristow" opening credits on Alias. Missed them last week. Not sure what they were before, but they didn't seem so....well, that.

From my memory of the DVDs, they were sort of slit-like, fuzzy images of stuff you couldn't really see. I liked them better, too.

Tonight's opening scene cracked me up.

I'm going to keep making fun of tourists anywhere, though. Not the good tourists. The bad ones. That travel in mobs.

The nice thing about mocking tourists is it doesn't matter where they're from, so you can't be accused of generalizing about anything but people who act like jackasses standing arm-in-arm, four across, completely stationary with their necks craned back in the middle of a busy sidewalk during my goddamn lunch hour.

Well.... I DID generalize the mass tour groups via their nationality in Prague. Not really small groups or individuals, but the 50+ mobs that would clog up metro stations or impede my mad dash to class across the square.

Having admitted this, I feel that my assertion that, e.g., Alex Rodriguez occasionally reaches for the funyuns and chows down baby brains instead, will be taken as a reasoned opinion, rather that as a stupid criticism.

Dude, A-Rod totally eats baby brains for breakfast when he's not munching on freshly minted millions. He's eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil.

He must be if he gets Plei to make a baseball related post that isn't about how there's too much baseball natter.

On an unrelated note - Jess, where's your tagline from?

For posterity:

NO, YOU FOOL! THE COMEDY SHEEP! BRING OUT THE COMEDY SHEEP!

Lo, many posts ago, Natterinos discussed:

Eenie, meenie, miney, moe

Catch a tiger by it's toe

If he hollers, make him pay

Fifty dollars every day.

I thought I would share that I used to say it as:

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe

Catch a tigger by the toe

If he hollers, let him go

Eeny, meeny, miny, mo

I realize now that tigger is probably worse than tiger, but not realizing any racial connections at the time, I always thought it was a tigger like the Tigger found in Winnie the Pooh.

In case anyone still cared...

Eenie, meenie, miney, moe Catch a tiger by it's toe If he hollers, make him pay Fifty dollars every day.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe Catch a tigger by the toe If he hollers, let him go Eeny, meeny, miny, mo

I learned it both ways but I never thought it was tigger instead of tiger.

I never heard the fifty dollars thing til last night.

I have been known to mock the British myself, although mostly over things like eating baked beans on baked potatoes and their fondness for standing in queues.

Man, it's like shooting fish in a barrell, mocking the British! We all need to start challenging ourselves, mocking-wise.
