This is not putting me in a more productive mood.
ETA I meant football, but your day is also making me tired, Consuela. That is a lot!
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Can you believe Brees just made that first down?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I just put away several weeks' worth of worn-once clothes, so that's good.

Children's Fairyland (which I do not understand why Disney hasn't sued their pants off yet)
As aggressive as Disney's lawyers are, they haven't quite managed to obtain trademarks for all the public domain fairy tales. Yet.

I'm looking at an error a customer is having with our program. This line looked like it had potential:

Poor Visitor. The children will be horrible to him.

If you skate close to identifiable depictions but not too close, you can manage to stay clear. There should be a whole different class for Disney's people. There's lawyers, then there's sharks, then there' Disney Lawyers.

Children's Fairyland (which I do not understand why Disney hasn't sued their pants off yet)
Because Walt famously (infamously?) got the idea for Disneyland from gong to Children's Fairyland in the first place?

Theo, I don't think I've said it, but you're being a wonderful friend. I hope the orng cat's mom gets the assistance she needs.

Yes, except Fairyland's Snow White looks identical to Disney's, the Dwarfs have the same names, and they sing a snatch of the Disney song. Same for the Alice & Wonderland section, which looks strikingly like the Disney version.
Disney is notoriously litigious, and my only explanation is that it's a 70-year-old nonprofit and a lawsuit would probably put them out of business.

Maybe there's a Contract of Dorian Grey in an office somewhere, that Disney doesn't dare challenge.
