Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
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).
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Isn't that the one where they cut their toes off to fit in the shoes?

Good times, good times....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.

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

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.

The Disneyfication of children's stories could be to blame. But I wonder if morbid children's stories are just less necessary now that childhood mortality rates are so much lower than they were in the 1800s....
I've always found it so remarkable and fascinating that kids still sing Ring Around the Rosie some 700 years after the plague.
