I'm pre-migraine, Kat, and about to take the relevant meds before going out to teach two hours of krav by myself.
Hopefully this won't translate into another day of sulking behind drawn curtains.
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

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

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

Belgian advertising illustrator Guy Peellaert was one of the first cartoonists to embrace Pop Art and incorporate Andy Warhol's appropriation of mass market iconography into his work. His first comic, Les aventures de Jodelle, (Jodelle's likeness modelled after yé-yé chanteuse Sylvie Vartan) appeared in 1966, swiftly followed by 'Pravda la Survireuse' (her likeness based on Françoise Hardy) for the magazine 'Hara-Kiri' in 1967.
Somewhat NSFW, more so if you click on the comics to see larger versions....
Also, this is the guy who did David Bowie's 'Diamond Dogs' LP cover. Huh.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I know there is a sterotypically nasally, smart, urban jewish persona seen in media, like Sandler or Adam Goldberg or maybe Sarah Silverman, but all jews aren't like that and that persona itself doesn't mean someone's a jew--c.f. Penny Marshall.

Is Cincinnati chili controversial?
ALL chili is controversial, but Cincinnati-style seems to incur more purist wrath than other varieties.

Cool! Peellaert did the Rock Dreams book in the seventies, IIRC.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, absolutely. I have been distracted by more than one New Yorker in that regard. But "bubbly blonde" isn't a Jewish stereotype, as far as I know.

Maybe he thinks that because she played a totally formulaic J.A.P in "Privare Benjamin"? But that was, you know, a character.

There is ASL poetry. I've seen some videos of it -- it's really neat. The rhythm goes into the signs, and there's a form of rhyme in choosing signs with similar movements.
There's also ASL acrostic, which looks incredibly cool -- they tell a story using, in order, signs with handshapes for each letter.

Remember the giant pink bunny in Italy that we talked about a few years ago? (It resulted in a COMM.) Here you can see it in a photo from space: [link]
