Disney buys Marvel for $4b
I'm having terrible visions of Mickey showing up in inappropriate places. Or lots of Disney product placement in backgrounds. Oy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think the real winners in this deal are the entertainment lawyers who will be hired to untangle the mess of Marvel characters who've already been licensed to Disney competitors in films and theme parks.

once in grad school.
Fran? Though I didn't think we overlapped. My last year in NC.
Door measured. Yay.

Yes! In '96, my 2nd year of grad school. We played football in the mud instead of going to class. One of the only times I've played football in my life.

I can't wait for Wolverine to marry Snow White at the Magic Castle.

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

Only if a few Dwarves get skewered by Wolverine's claws....

Hah! I was off campus, so I drove very slowly (no stoplights! Trees down!) over to campus where there was a generator, and thus coffee. I remember it as a boring, soggy mess, except where I had to wake up every hour to make sure that the water in the sub-basement hadn't reached the basement (where I lived.) I lived off a small lake, so it was a bit of a concern. I'm not sure what we would've done if it had. Move stuff off the floor?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Good luck with the big changes, Jesse!
Our dentist appointment for Owen was an unmitigated disaster this morning. I started trying to prep him last Friday and offered him his favorite bribe: Legos. I got him in the office, in the exam room without trouble but he refused to sit in the chair and he would not let the dentist look in his mouth. We tried holding him down but there was kicking and screaming.
I'm beyond frustrated right now because on the way home he developed the argument that he is "allergic to the dentist."
I'm ready to lose it. He's in the living room watching Super Why right now and I'm thinking I need a drink already.

“Not dead yet!”
Lewis just said Marvel vs. Disney Fighting Game: Wolverine vs. Hannah Montana.
And Cash, I'm sorry you're dealing with dentist aversion. Sounds stressful.

And this was just the exam/cleaning, Barb. I don't know what I'm going to do if he needs more work. I can't cope. I think I'm going to have to have Christopher arrange to take him to the next visit. He doesn't have as much trouble forcing unpleasantness as I do.
