If Willy Wonka gets co-opted by the alien invaders we are all in trouble.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

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

Nope, just what it says on the box.

There you go then. It's likely that I took some joke review seriously.

-t, there is a MILF Island-like show on TV Land called The Cougar. If you missed the last episode, you can get your "OH SNAP!" recap. Uh.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I remember V ... and, like Vortex, my most vivid memory is of the woman unhinging her jaw to swallow a rat.
And is Courtney Cox old enough to qualify as a cougar? I mean, for someone who's above the age of consent?

Always Anti-fascist!
I wouldn't think so, but I hate that expression like syphilis, so bear that in mind. It just brings up this tacky woman in too-tight pants and cigarrette voice waiting for the college bars to open.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm with erika on the hateration. And in my mind (much as I hate my mind for wasting space on any of it) a cougar is definitely in her 50s, or late 40s at youngest (but gorgeous and magnetic and irresistible, the way the teenage girl in The Chalk Garden scornfully described her newly-remarried mother, "She's golden and striped, like something in the jungle").
But the media keeps defining cougars downward; a couple of weeks ago Shakespeare's Sister linked to a vile NY Post gossip snippet cougarizing Kate Winslet. At which point the word has lost all meaning.

*I* am a cougar. At least, that's how I think of it. Much younger than me, and the most I'd say is that you like them fresh off the vine.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The thing that gets me about what little I saw of that Cougar show (shut up! It was like passing by a wreck... you have to look!) was that the guys all seemed to be the same boastful fratboy twits that shows like The Real World always feature getting into fistfights and worshipping the porcelain god. I can see that maybe working as candidates to date someone else college-aged, but shouldn't an independent woman in her 40s have encountered enough BS to find them completely unappealing? Where were the quieter 20-something humanities majors and IT techs that would grow into keepers in a few years?
