I'm a choral-singin', silly-actin', purple-wearin', puppy-cuddlin', chocolate-needin' geek chick. Of doom. Or something. Also, my body is trying to kill me, but I'm stubborn enough not to go down without a fight.
I feel like a brief familial hug when you're all wearing swimsuits could be normal enough, but the twin who appears to be fondling her uncle's ludicrously huge, Liefeld-esque chest before she even goes in for the hug? That's pretty gosh-danged weird.

I hate it when people pretend that kids are incapable of looking at the world around them, perceiving problems, and wanting to fix them. If anything, I think they're often *more* capable of doing so, since they are less likely to have become cynical about whether things can ever actually be fixed.

2. Snow leopards are cool. Why would we want to kill off snow leopards? Have you guys not seen how COOL they are?
Decades later, I stand by both points!

It was, of course, a hilariously bad song, because I was 7, but the two main points made in the lyrics were:
1. I'm just a kid, but even I know that living things are interconnected, and if we just wipe out species, I'm pretty sure that's gonna end up having all sorts of bad consequences for us.

Yup. I decided to write a protest song about environmental destruction and the importance of protecting endangered species when I was 7 years old. I liked reading books about nature, and I was angry that humans were going around fucking it up.

He's done his icky "kids just love to think about their parents fucking" shtick so often that, as a music nerd, all I can think about this time is "They banged on a Bösendorfer? These idiots bounced around spewing bodily fluids on top of a dang *Bösendorfer*? Do they know how *expensive* those are?"

I'm not sure, but it reads to me as if the ridiculous federal case based on an flagrantly illegal search has been dismissed, but the ridiculous state case based on that flagrantly illegal search hasn't come in front of a judge yet.

An A5 sung purely in head voice isn't notably high for a soprano, but most singers can't *belt* anywhere near that high.

I am coming to believe that billionaires surrounding themselves exclusively with people who tell them, "Positive AND negative emotions? Wow! What a novel idea, sir!" instead of "This list is bad, and anyone who sees it will think you're a putz" is the root of most of the problems in this country.

That he included "positive emotions" and "negative emotions" as two separate list items, and then felt the need to give *examples* of them, as if other people would have no idea what a "negative emotion" was unless he explained it to them, has broken my brain.

Why do all the men in this strip wear their swim trunks at Amos-height? Did Brooke just forget that was supposed to be a visual signifier that Amos was a dork and decide that having a waistband higher than one's elbows is now an extremely cool and normal part of male swimwear?

I'm kidding; I'm definitely more annoyed by the argument. I was a middle-class Midwestern kid, and I loved The Great Gatsby. Torgersen's failures of imagination, comprehension, and empathy are not nearly as universal as he wants to believe. (But that errant semicolon still makes me wince.)

I can't decide whether I'm more annoyed by his "if I didn't like/understand this, that means no one could possibly like/understand it" argument, or by the fact that a professional writer somehow thinks that's the right way to use a semicolon.

During. I believe the precise chronology, according to 9CL Logic, is: the gun is fired, Amos throws a snowball, Edda is 40, Edda is 12, World War II happens, the twins are 18, Edda gives birth, World War II happens again, everyone buys the same giant Sex Tub, the bullet hits, LEGS LEGS LEGS LEGS LE-

Telling another little kid that pterodactyls weren't dinosaurs, but that they were still really cool and it was neat that he liked them. He was sad about the "not dinosaurs" part, so I got thoroughly yelled at by the after-school teacher and ordered never to say anything about dinosaurs ever again.

Instead of being driven mad by the Ring, Nanny would drive IT mad. It'd keep trying to tempt her into seeking devastating powers, and she'd keep going, "Ooh, I know what you could do for me: conjure up some more sweets for the children! Maybe butterscotch this time? Little Jimmy loves butterscotch."
