Re: Big Thunder Mountain Changes

I will do that. I've never seen it. Mad Men is THE BEST. It's really well written and the characters are all developed and interesting. You'll be frustrated with some of them, I'm sure, but even the most evil are so fascinating to watch. Also, speaking as a professional costumer, it has the most sp...

Re: Whip It, Whip It Good

That's disgusting. What an insult to the dignity of the workers. That department's management team should be ashamed of themselves.

Re: Safari and Recent Back Surgery

So what does this do to Gore's account of the creation of the Internet? Okay, I know it's a joke, but it's a bit of a peeve: Gore never claimed to have invented the internet. What he said (in response to a specific question) was that he took the initiative in creating THE FUNDING for the internet. ...

Re: Icky Yucky Sushi

Permit me to suggest that on 31 December 1939 --- the date inside the Adventurer's Club at all times --- such remarks were perfectly acceptable in the US, and sushi was a distinctly weird food. Gotta take these things in context, the same way one does for "Song of the South". The other co...

Re: my unipolar depression dx will not be down for breakfast...

So I had to wash his bowls and use paper ones in the meantime. he was so insulted that i put water in a paper bowl that he stuck his paw into it...and flung water at me. Harrumph. Everybody's a critic. I once gave my cat Yakko an ice cube in his water dish because it was a hot day. He was FASCINATE...

Re: Google+

It's a lot better than Facebook (which I left a few years ago because it got too skeevy with privacy), but it has a major issue with the bone-stupid name policy. If they don't figure out that it's dumb and change it, I'll leave. I've already had friends suspended because their names don't look "...

Re: Icky Yucky Sushi

I saw this live a few years back, and it just made me go :confused: :shaker: It's playing on fear of the exotic and it's just so out of place now. And if you look at the lyrics, they're pretty gross themselves; I mean, they make use of racist tropes like "no likey" and "me sicky."...

Re: Your color choice?

Huh. Lots of buildings are phallic; I guess the Contemporary is... gynic? Is that the word? I never thought about that.

Re: Remembering Pleasure Island

On our way out, Graves looked at me and my boyfriend and said, "Good night, Tim... Good night, Lisa Marie."

I was highly amused.


(He meant Tim as in Burton.)

Re: New AVATAR land coming to Disney World

I might have less of a problem with Avatar coming to WDW if the movie hadn't been yet another example of the tired old trope: the white man has to come in and Save The Natives.

(Pocahontas is sort of an inversion of that trope, which is why Mayonnaise is right.)
