Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I should probably be more embarassed.

Own it, girl! I do. I was vaguely embarrassed aht I was rooting for one guy just because he was hot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh. Which one?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Chinese Giant Salamander, the world's largest amphibia at 1.8 meters

It looks like a fucking alien. A freakish, salmon-colored alien. Also, WTF is #6?!? What the hell is that?!?

The purple frog is *cute*! I'm WAY more disturbed by that giant goddamn salamander. It doesn't even look like it has a HEAD.

I'm also somewhat put off by the frog that looks like a leaf (the Darwin frog?) on top. It shouldn't look like foliage. That just ain't right.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

But he prefers Voldemort, because Voldy never flirted with being good.

That's hilarious. And scary.

It's fantastic! My reaction was "Holy Camouflage, Batman!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The purple frog is *cute*!

It looks like a fish with genetically mutated frog limbs growing out of it.

Ok. Still and Edwards girl, but dude this is a fuck of a speech and has me in tears. [link]

I'm not sure that MLK himself wouldn't have been impressed.

I'm watching a thing on the development of lobotomy on PBS. It is rather horrifying. (Not that lobotomy isn't. I've only known of one case where it was done, and that was in the late 80s, to a CP kid who without it would have died. It's just the zealot nature of it's origins.)
