*I consider my "Big Toe" to be the captain of all the other toes on the foot, yet think of all my fingers to be equal in rank except for the thumb, who is subservient to the rest of them.

*My Dad, despite being a raging 12-beers-a-day alcoholic, was an incredibly good father! He always found time to spend time with me despite that we had absolutely nothing in common, even if it was something as weird as going Clam Diggin or Mushroom Picking.

*I prefer black & white entertainment to color every time, because black & white movies are like a moving coloring book for your mind.

*Sometimes I look at all the vintage 70's and 80's stuff I have collected (2 storage units full of it) and am overcome with a moment of sanity; I think "No matter how much stuff I accumulate, it won't take me back to then". Then I regain my insanity and enjoy my mint-condition "Family Ties" board game.

*Of all the writing utensils, I find the pencil to be the most depressing. Crayons come a close second.

*What do people who AREN'T obsessed with something DO with their lives, anywho? A life devoid of conventions, gaming sessions, pilgrimages and "The Hunt" seems like less of a life worth living, doesn't it?

For my friends who aren't a part of the Seattle LJ Community...

Ebay Auction for a "King Dog" from the Seahawks/Panthers game.

Add this one to the "Why Didn't I think Of That" file.

Time for another killing spree; I just saw the ad for Bambi 2. And it features the voice of Patrick Stewart.

I'm not really mad at the Disney Company for this because they're just following the money. It's not as if they would just throw money at a blatantly awful and blesphemous project that no one in their right mind would ever buy. Quite the contrary! I'm sure they had focus groups, marketing departments, independent survey takers and all sorts of other market data that showed not only would a sequel to Bambi be a good idea, but there were enough people out there who would buy it at $20 a pop to make it cost-effective to go ahead with the project!

That means there's a good sized chunk of the populace (in those Red States I'll betcha) that saw Bambi and said "Wait, I'm confused! There are so many unanswered questions! Such a complex story line... I need MORE!"

And THAT is why I'm going on my killing spree. SOMEONE'S gotta thin out this herd, dag-nabbit!
