Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

When I was a kid, I got these fake cigarettes from some mail-order novelty shop. They had red foil on the tips, so in the right light and from a distance it really looked like you had a lit cigarette.

ION:

My name is tommyrot and I have an addiction. An addiction to Jelly Belly Raspberries and Blackberries. They're sorta like regular Jelly Bellys, but instead of a hard shell they have many tiny jimmy-like dots on the outside (making them look sorta' like berries). So nummy, and rather expensive. Saturday I took a train to downtown Chicago just so I could go to Neiman-Marcus and buy some.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I am all for looking at things in there time. Because siletn film started in this area - and we now have a silent film museaum and theater in the neighborhood, I have seen a bunch. sterotypes - male/female , race ,otr ethnic are prtetty rampent. Plus the number of films that have drug useres ( needle) on screen is amazing. sometimes it is uncomfortabe. It should be. That doesn't mean I don't watch. Some films are good despite the sterotypes. - others might have been good films at the time, but they just don't reach a modern audience. Actually, they now have as part of the announcements a reminder that some of the things we see on screen might not be acceptable to today's audiences.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I've seen a fair number on TCM. And yeah, some of them can get pretty embarrassing. Even into the sound era -- I saw Harold Lloyd's first talkie, Welcome Danger, over the weekend, and a fair number of Chinese stereotypes kept taking me out of the movie (the plot involves a dope ring operating out of SF Chinatown).

Sad, because there's some pretty fair slapstick in there (though eventually it gets to be a bit much).

Getting some fresh genes into that bloodline helped out a lot with the looks, even if it did shake up the family's moral certainty.

Up with the sun

I think Harry is kind of handsome, in a redheaded jock sort of way, but William to me always looks a little freakish -- too much like if someone took photographs of his mother at that age and mathematically adjusted them to show what she would have looked like if she had been born a man.

Though bon bon's picture does make him look very nice indeed.

I can't even.

For the hockey afficionados in the crowd, apparently the little truck in the picture is called a Sandboni.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

the scarily possessive mother of a war friend of his to whom he'd made a deathbed promise (which he stuck to, caring for her until her death, but by all accounts she was batshit crazy and jealous, plus HOTT, so there was a whole twisted mothersexlover thing going on that left him emotionally fucked for a good many years)

Huh. I never knew that. That's fucked-up, yo.
