Hatch green chile burger (pretty mild, but still good chile,) garlic fries and rootbeer and jack cocktails for dinner tonight. My garlic-induced burps are really strange tonight. Or maybe it was the rootbeer.

I was going to say. Boing Boing was using this as a basis for criticism of the Olympics. Which is absurd. This is awesome. Not that there is not tons to say about the militarization, the massive civil liberties violations on behalf of the Olympics, and the outrageous subsidies and giveaways to them. In many nations the Olympics is often used as part of war against the poor - to clear them out of areas developers want, though I'm not sure this last is happening in London.
But Mary Poppins vs. Valdemort? Totally awesome. Maybe the people at Boing Boing never read the book. Cause if they had, they would know thatMary Poppins is dangerous and kick ass. All the other supernatural beings are afraid of her. She is either an avatar of a goddess or an avatar of something more powerful than a goddess. The last chapter of the book makes it clear that her wrath would be terrible indeed - in biblical sense of terrible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love the sports team name Tottenham Hotspur more than just about any high profile pro team name. It just has a something.

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

Which is why I really want a new take on a Mary Poppins movie; she's not all sweetness and light, she doesn't sing songs with birdies. She's prissy, she can be petty and spiteful, and she is some sort of supernatural powerhouse. Maybe a movie by Guillermo del Toro, because he would give it the needed unsettling undertone.

Who was the elf that Frodo offered the ring to? Mary Poppins should be like that scene.
And maybe shoot force-lightning at Voldy....
