I lost at least two grandparents to strokes. My parents and sisters have all been medicated at one time or another for high blood pressure.
Mine's distractingly low. I choose to view this as a positive thing.

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

While I'm of course disturbed by male cows, I'm also dismayed at the tendency of Hollywood animation to characterize worker bees and ants as male. That just ain't right.

I'm just boggled at the idea of a Disney exec promoting one of their movies with the praise "fucking funny."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I watched BB. You know who I love more than ever? Danielle. I have always only liked Will as a character on TV, not as a person. He's totally evil! This is why we call him Evil Dr. Will!
Also, the producers are really playing dirty, I think. People aren't having fun anymore. And they're what, half done?

I figure unless I take up skydiving or spelunking as a hobby, I'm quite likely to go out by stroke. It's actually kind of comforting, as I'd rather have the cerebral M-80 pop and put me face down on a desk in my 60s than suffer the physical infirmities and senility that might happen a decade later.
I'm not quite confident enough to stop contributing 401K money, though.

Steve Oedekerk isn't so much a Disney exec as the guy who wrote Kung Pow, Barnyard, Nutty Professor, Bruce Almighty, Ace Ventura, Nutty Professor.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
They are a Race Unto Themselves,
So does the movie acknowledge this, or is it the Bull Deformity that Dare Not Speak Its Name?
edit for typo...

Which explains so much.

Maybe not a planet anymore, according to the Science Channel show I watched last night.
NO ONE IS TAKING CLYDE'S PLANET FROM HIM DAMNIT.
And yet another thing I feel strongly about. (Clyde Tombaugh was an awesome guy. His wife, Patsy, might edge him out in awesomeness, though. Great people.)

Uh, I meant Nutty Professor II. The second time.
Unrelatedly, I'd like to say for the record that I'm not posting the link to the guy pulling a truck with his dick. I'd like credit. Having said that:
- Double pie, but not a guy
- Worth 1000's improper kids toys
- It would be cool if the kitty litter robot did what the gizmodo entry says. But not unless your cat shits candy, I think.
- The curse of charismatic nature conservation
- Article says people only call 4 others on their cell phones. Man, some people are really picking up the slack for me. And I'm not even a heavy user.
- Real time airport monitor
Watched The Closer, and am really over the grieved relative kills the guilty person when the law doesn't work. And I was quite happy that for once she didn't get a prosecution. Ah, well.
