What more could you ask for in a movie?

Little Red Riding Hood...
Stinky the Skunk plus...
Tom Thumb
and The Friendly Redheaded Ogre!

AKA The Famous Characters of the Fairy Tale World!

I think this guy is a sentient turnip:

Beebo is home sick

..But don't worry, she just has a "cold". She "does not" have swine flu.

Don't forget to vote!

The Wanderings of Deebo

Well, Deebo disappeared for a couple of days and just showed up again this morning. Our camera was gone as well. He wouldn't tell us where he'd been, but this photo certainly tells a tale:

Beanies: I hate 'em!

When I was a kid, if you said the word 'beanie', it meant something like this (with or without propeller):

(not a photo of me, though I did have a propeller beanie in 1976)

Some time in the last 10-15 years, the word has come to mean a sort of snug sock cap, popularized (I think) by snowboarders and the like, and then adopted by people who want to look like snowboarders:

("Me and my bros are hittin' the slopes and then doing an interview with Leeza Gibbons")

Now it's become a default part of the wardrobe of men under the age of 50.

(the watermarks were included free with this clip art!)

I have friends who wear them, so I know I'm probably treading on some toes here, but I just don't like 'em! I don't like their ubiquity, over-casualness, or the way they often make the wearer's head look too small. The default position seems to be to pull the beanie all the way down to the wearer's eyebrows, which reduces facial expressions down to one look of blank surliness:

(I know, I cheated by using a photo of Eminem to demonstrate that point)

(but still, they're not that great-looking)

In conclusion, bring back the bowler!

How to look deadpan

Now something nice to replace the gross 'Bodies' post
