I am the fly who dreams of the spider

So, yeah, everyone at work told me point blank that I looked like shit and harassed me until I finally went home two hours later. Going to eat food and crawl into bed and die. Then I'll tear through every last unopened box and track down mister doctor man's number.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Leopold and Loeb inspired many movies.

Leopold and Loeb have been the inspiration for many works in film, theater and fiction, such as the 1929 play Rope by Patrick Hamilton, which served as the basis for Alfred Hitchcock's film of the same name. In 1956, Meyer Levin revisited the case in his novel Compulsion, a fictionalized version of the actual events in which the names of the pair were changed to "Steiner and Strauss." Three years later, the novel was made into a film of the same name. Never the Sinner, a theatrical recreation of the Leopold and Loeb trial, was written by John Logan in 1988.

Other works inspired by the case include Tom Kalin's more openly gay-themed 1992 film Swoon; Michael Haneke's 1997 film Funny Games, with an American shot-for-shot remake produced in 2008; Barbet Schroeder's Murder by Numbers (2002); and Stephen Dolginoff's 2005 off-Broadway musical Thrill Me: The Leopold and Loeb Story.

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

Batmobile gokart plans available on eBay: [link]

That’s right, you now have the chance to build yourself a batmobile tumbler go kart (T-kart). These are the only plans in the world …that’s right THE WORLD.

I have spent many hours going from one batman blog to the next and I cannot tell you how many times I came across posts where kids and adults alike would love to build one and if anyone knew where to get plans, Well now you do.

I am the developer/ owner of these plans, I just went public with them. This is the opportunity so many batman fans have been waiting for “build your own Tumbler” well, go kart version, its called the T-kart. I am the only one in the world who is offering these .

Dwarf Mini Pony

This pony is an American miniature horse born with a dwarfism gene. For reference, there’s another picture of little Koda compared to a normal horse on the website. He goes to about the knees of the stallion. I couldn’t resist posing this image with the huge eyes though.

Koda is so small that he is often mistaken for a battery-operated soft toy.

Standing at 59cm tall, if Koda the horse wants an equal he has to turn to the vetinary cat for company.

Wow, it's less than two feet tall....

Julie, can you find the doctor's number online somewhere? Seems like it would take less energy than going through boxes.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

In Cold Blood is about Leopold and Loeb too. Not a movie however.

Nope, In Cold Blood was based on a true story. And it was made into a movie.

Huh. I knew it was based on a true story, but I had thought that true story was Leopold and Loeb. Bad memory, I guess. Or maybe it's just that my brain decided to store song lyrics instead.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We just watched Compulsion a couple days ago. Dean Stockwell played the Loeb character. Basically the only thing they changed is the names.
