Oz ,'Chosen'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
There's a collection whose title played on Grimm/grim and had the gorier versions of all those tales--I used to own a copy and have no idea where it is, or what it was called so I can put it on a wishlist somewhere.
I still have a hardcover of original Grimm and HCA tales I received as a kid. ISTR it being one of the first things I read. I keep planning to bring it to NYC from my parents', and this year I will not chicken out on carrying its weight on the plane.
I always loved the original end of Cinderella, which had her stepsisters walking her up the aisle to her prince and getting their eyes pecked out by the birds sitting on Cinderella's shoulders (one eye while going up the aisle, the other while coming back down after the wedding).
Isn't that the one where they cut their toes off to fit in the shoes?

I love the notion that not only did the parisioners sit by and idly watch this happen, but that the sisters waited around through the ceremony and didn't run away with the eye they still had.
Isn't that the one where they cut their toes off to fit in the shoes?
Yep, I think so....
Good times, good times....
Isn't that the one where they cut their toes off to fit in the shoes?
Yep -- one stepsister cuts off a toe, and the other cuts off a bit of her heel.
They eat a duck. (Or possibly it was a goose?)
Maybe it was a duck. Maybe it was a goose. Definitely it was their father.
I can't find where I stashed all my AA batteries. I'm one damned battery short of a functioning Swiffer WetJet.
Fridge?
No, but next time I complain that I've lost my unused film, fridge is the correct answer.
Okay, off to next cupboard.
I never should have wanted to clean my floors.
Aha! In a ziploc bag in that bedside table in my living room. I should consolidate them with the AAAs I found in the search, but not the camera batteries.
