Probably better than the actual movie, from what I've gathered...Sorry. I just don't like the X-Men moviemaking theory of taking all the characters who ever existed at any time in the X-Men pantheon, throwing them up in the air, picking some random ones, changing them drastically, and throwing them together.

But this was pretty funny. "Sorry! Wrong movie!"

Whoops, hit "Submit" before I remembered to say that this is not likely a fetish that takes place in southern climes. In fact, I seriously doubt it could even evolve there.

Well, they aren't hurting anyone.

What a happy ending for Andre. I am sure he will be living the high life with his new humans.

I heard on the radio yesterday about a guy in New Orleans, whose name I unfortunately cannot remember, but who started a marching band organization called Roots of Music, focusing on getting at-risk kids off the streets and doing something positive. The band has 70 members, but a waiting list of 400. All of the instruments are donated. The guy was being interviewed on the radio, and he says he wishes he could have places for everyone, but the funding just isn't there. He said he has one 7-year-old who calls him every day, wanting to be in the band. He also said that before they get to play, they have to hit the books and keep their grades up. It was a really positive and moving story, which is why this story made me think of it.

Danoso, that's a sweeping judgment call based on one innocuous comment I made. I'm neither Luddite nor treehugger, and I was simply commenting upon the differences between the photos. Keep your negative energy to yourself.

Yeah, but who's that on the cover?

Yeah, we've really improved the place...

Silly, but cute.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only person left in the world who isn't on Twitter and doesn't care what it is.

That photo is incredibly sweet.

"Because he also has troops in far away places like Afghanistan…?"

Apples and oranges. Sorry. The President of the US doesn't have the authority or the right to end a custom that takes place in another country, which despite its origins, really doesn't hurt anything or anyone. I look at it in kind of the same light as the people in the US who get dressed up and have Civil War re-enactments.

Why would President Obama have any authority whatsoever over something which takes place in Spain?

My 15-year-old calico does that if you look at her and put your arms up in the air. I'm not really sure how this started, but she's done it her whole life. Who can say whether we trained her or she trained us...?
