CRIMEFIGHTER???? I'd sue.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
At least it's only the middle name. (Though "Moxie Jillette" is pretty bad on its own. It makes her sound like a razor blade.)

I do have an aunt whose first name is Gilette. And her maiden name was easily abbreviated to Mac ... well, she got off lucky, considering.

So, Ebert and Whasisname have nothing but good things to say about Batman Begins. Can't wait. Also gave high praise to Michelle Tractenberg's new movie.

Congratulations to Stephanie and Welcome to Ellie!
I am NOT a Hayden Christensen fan. But this picture of him is definitely GAH worthy.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Those of us who don't stop by on Saturdays say --
Belated Happy Birthday, Dana!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Not quite as fun as PandaCam:
The University of Wisconsin has a webcam (and live streaming video) trained on a flower. But not just any flower -- a titan arum, or corpse flower, the stinkiest flower on earth (and the largest). It's expected to flower this week.
And since these plants flower only rarely (not even annually), this is a big enough deal to have a webcam on it, apparently.
This page has a link to the webcam, for anyone interested in up-to-the-minute corpse flower action: [link]
What's really interesting on that page is the chart showing how much the plant has grown since the bud appeared in April -- anywhere from 2 to 6 inches per DAY. Wild.

Art Crawl!!!
Exerting my very dilletantish tennis fan-girlism this morning and just finished watching the men's final of the French Open. Exciting match.
Also, that Nadal kid has pretty arms.

I think they need some kind of stench-ometer to go with the webcam. Perhaps a series of increasingly disgusted facial reactions to the scent.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Perhaps a series of increasingly disgusted facial reactions to the scent.
We were just saying that the gently waving greenery was all very nice, but our webcam-viewing day would be made by someone innocently wandering by, and then running offscreen to hurl.
