Occasionally animators post roughs of interesting takes on the Disney canon.

Oh, who wanted an mp3 rip of Cookie Monster doing Share It Maybe? Do I remember someone expressing that wish?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Disney whipping. I'm sure it's a thing. At a place.
What's a reasonable lifetime for a mattress? I am willing to blame some of my sleeping problems (I'm back to having myriad--coming off the ambien and onto lunesta for a while). I am suspecting I could have a better mattress. I could turn it and bounce on it a bit, but the turning part would be a bit of effort.
It's not a normal boxspring--it's a futon mattress I have. I lost the instructions.
I feel I should gird my loins tomorrow, but I can't work out what I have is girdy

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sure, but she's plainly been in the pocket of Big Mattress for years.

You know, the mattress business is extremely strange.
And I'm not sure exactly what drives the economics of the industry but there's a great deal of obfuscation about the fact that relatively simple constructs of wood/springs/cotton cost in the hundreds to thousands of dollars.
I suspect it is an artificially maintained market like soda and diamonds.
I know the profit markup is high, because discount (high quality) mattresses can be had for huge savings.
And the same mattresses often shuffle among different labels for various prices.

I thought you were one of the tempurpedic people, ita !.
Our thrift store mattress is so great that I totally rotate and flip on a regular basis to keep it awesome. So far so good.
