That's what I thought. Was the Simpsons thing about dogs with bees shooting out of their mouths?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

That's how I remember it.
I remember Monty Python on PBS! I have a very clear memory of sitting on the floor watching the scene with the knight who will fight you with one hand behind his back, and one arm, and one leg ...
It was the Dr. Who theme that scared me. Every time I stumbled past it, I turned the channel immediately.
Africanized bees have made their way to northern Ohio? I thought they were just now reaching Tennessee.
They don't seem to have addressed the fact that if Australian sheep owners said, "Fly free, little sheep," most of the sheep would have lives that were nasty, brutal and short.
At least some of them, because they created a breed that doesn't shed, has wrinkly skin for maximum surface area, and will die of overheating in a season. So, problem solved! No more unhappy Merino sheep, because no more Merino sheep.
What I was trying to say was that PETA doesn't seem to be offering any options except death for the sheep that are already there. The problem would be solved, but it hardly seems humane.

We're very southern Ohio; just across the river from Kentucky (and my friend with the bees is in Kentucky). My understanding, from knowing about 4 people with backyard hives, is that the Africanized bees are definitely here. I have to take their word for it.
PETA isn't big on options, in general, just stances.

There's a really heartbreaking moment in SPN where one character finally gets the reference, and my brain never fails to harsh my mellow with it after seeing this quote.
So, this is interesting. My 25th high school reunion is in a few weeks. There are tours of the school during the day, and then the various classes organize their own parties in the evening. Well, I was never planning to go to my class party, because I'm not interested in that at all. But I wanted to go to a tour of the school, because I wanted to show Tim my high school.
I went to register online, and it had a place for my name. That's it. No spouse, family, etc. And then I looked at the photos from last year's reunion, and all the photos are of the alumnae (all women; I went to an all-girls' school). But I thought, hey, maybe they just prefer to use the photos with only the alumnae in them for their website, as a PR thing.
So I emailed to ask, hey, do alumnae bring their spouses/families, because I'd love to show my husband my high school.
The alumnae relations person emailed back, and was very nice, but said it's just alumnae, although if we were coming in from far out of town, they could make special arrangements for my husband.
So...they can fuck right off. That's weird, right? I mean, I get that spouses can be uncomfortable at reunion stuff because they don't often know a lot of the graduates, but I didn't expect to be told that no, the events are only for the alumnae, not your spouse.
So I'll be skipping that. Fuck them.
