Holy crap, Dean Winters! This Allstate gig is your highest-paid role ever??? Also the almost-dying part.

In News for Goats: In Mexico, chupacabras are blamed for 300 goat beheadings

Shepherds from various communities in Puebla State are frightened by the attacks to their herds. They suspect the presence of natural predator, a nahual (shapeshifter) or the Chupacabras. Authorities have combed the area.

Shepherds from Colonia San Martín, Los Reyes Metzontla and Cañada Ancha in Puebla State are frightened by the attacks on their flocks by either the Chupacabras, wild dogs or some other wild creature that they've been unable to hunt down, and which has caused the deaths of over 300 goats for some 50 days now.

Current shows?

Yeah, that was what I was thinking of.

Life

Was that in answer to my question? Which protagonist was breaking the law in that?

Do you mean Suzi?

Uhh, yes. Oops. Quick posting before meeting not conducive to making sense.

I'm trying to think of shows where the protagonists indulge in self-centred crime.

Probably almost anything on HBO and Showtime, no? Big Love and Weeds come to mind.

This is just too cute: Chewbacca, Han Solo and R2D2 drawn as if part of A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh

I'm surprised I didn't catch this earlier, but James Hance has recently released a series of lovely images. Here, he re-imagines Han Solo as Christopher Robin, Chewbacca as Pooh Bear, R2D2 as Piglet, and even (this is cool) an AT-AT as Eeyore.

ita - not sure. I woke up this morning and after I brushed my teeth, I realized one had a rough part. Now my tongue won't leave it alone. Blech.

So today's plan. Work from home, karate at 12:30, home to shower then off to the dentist and finally more work. Wheee?

So much ~ma to ND and Pix, both healing and lower-stress flavors.

SuziQ ugh! I hope the tooth is fixed quick, and glad it doesn't hurt.

Big Love and Weeds come to mind.

Weeds! That's the pot-selling show I couldn't remember the name of. Big Love I'm assuming the crime is polygamy, right?

Would it be fair to say that Sopranos represents some sort of turning point on TV with respect to criminal protagonists? And, even so, we're not supposed to love them (although, of course, I'm sure many people did).

White Collar and Leverage present us with criminals we are supposed to love (and boy, do I). Even though they're not primarily self-serving, they have a moral compass that allows for it, it's just not what they're doing right now.

And in Supernatural, fraud is just part of what they do to get by, and we're supposed to love them anyway.

I'm not suddenly having a moral revelation, just wondering if there was a relatively recent sea change.

In terms of being successful, yes. But Profit certainly was ahead of the trend.
