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

Our wings are not tired.
My grandfather used to love telling me about how when I was little, I came to him wailing one day. He asked what was wrong and I told him that "Christina doesn't want to play with me! She's being mean to me! Waaaaaaaaaah wahhhhhhhhh waahhhh."
Christina was my imaginary friend.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My sister had an imaginary Uncle Henry who lived in Australia. He had a kangaroo farm.
And you know the fences on that thing would be insane.

It's like a rabbit proof fence, only four metres tall. (And, I like to think, made entirely out of rubber. BOIIIIINGG!)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Back to Death and children, I Tivoed The River Cottage Treatment because I wanted Emmett to see it. (He did not want to watch it however.)
But I played it anyway and Matilda watched. When they got to the part where they were butchering rabbits she yelped, "Those are cats!"
Me: "No, those aren't cats. Those are rabbits."
Matilda: "We don't eat animals!"
Emmett and I together (perhaps too enthusiastically): "Yes, we do!
Matilda: "No, no no. I only eat ham and meat."
Us: "Welllll....."

Matilda: "We don't eat sheep. Sheep are fluffy. They're too fluffy."

I used to watch my mom clean rabbits as a kid and I was fascinated by it. Especially all the guts. For a while I had rabbit foot that my mother cut off the bunny, complete with bone sticking out, for luck. It was only when I got older, about 10, that I started to get grossed out by the annual arrival of rabbit.
