Chuck Jones' Bugs is my favorite Bugs. All of the animation artists and directors, Friz Freleng, Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, etc. each had versions of Bugs which had little distinctive, creative features. Chuck Jones just happens to be my favorite.

That Bugs Bunny cartoon is the prequel to "Lidsville."

Because this is still open thread, and as 2 degrees of separation from the late Wayne Static, I have absolutely no problem with Xero doing all of the Evil Disco.

That bounce/headbang/bubble/smoke cornucopia is just chef's kiss.

Fuck it, now I am running with my own idea (I have been drinking, there was a food festival outside my gym, they served horse) and I want to make a sequel to Elizabeth (shut up) called James with Alan Cumming as VI (& I).

I'd see it!

A musical, innit?

Eric Cantona would still appear. Also Thierry Henry.

Tony Adams would be Shakespeare.

Okay.

This scene is pretty fun.

My cheeks are still abraded from that fish-slap (that I deserved).

You monsters are fun.

I'm not sure if I'm done with you yet, but I do need to, erm, "run some water".

I'll visit with you again soon, if that's alright?

See you then!

Here it's just gone 4pm and the sun is out, so I am sunbathing on my balcony and reading a biography of James VI (And I).

Expand full comment

He was an interesting guy.

Expand full comment

Not necessarily the most, but definitely one of the most interesting details so I have so far learnt is that he left instructions in his will to be "as theye of eastern beliefes holde reyncarnate as Allan Cumminge at time most meet".

Huh, next week’s movie is Idiocracy. I actually think Mountain Dew Camacho would be a better president than the PAB.

Expand full comment

I have never seen Idiocracy and that's not cool. Dang - now I'm remembering I'll be partying with college kids next Saturday night... I'll probably be done by 9 so should be ok.

Expand full comment

Of course he would. He actually cares about doing good things for people, he just doesn't know how to do it, because he lives in a eugenicist's nightmare.

Expand full comment

I want to make book/album title/band name joke about "eugenecist's nightmare" but I can't because literally all recorded history and every single artistic movement has literally been that.

All I've got is "Huxley's pig" and a Dr. Moreau thing, but I think the reference is too obscure, or at least too UK-centric.

TALES FROM THE RECORD STORE

This happened around 15 years ago. Leslie and Quinn were regular customers, they would often stop by to shop or just hang around and chat. I would enjoy their visits, they were a nice young couple. One day they told me they were getting married and would like to have the ceremony in my shop. Both their families lived far away and for now they just wanted something small and private. They would have a larger ceremony for their families at a future date. So of course I agreed and they made the arrangements. The only people at the wedding were the young couple, myself and the Justice Of The Peace. For background music, I played In A Metal Mood by Pat Boone on the stereo.

Record stores are magic. Thanks for keeping that alive.

Another guy I knew online had a record store in Dallas. He was quite a character, but ultimately too beautiful for the world. Miss ya, Bucks.

Can I report "marilynkendrick" here? It's in my feed soliciting wondrous sex, it's following me (according to my feed) and there's no anything solid so I can't block it out!

Stepmonster tromping around in the back yard in her pajamas is amusing. It's quite nippy out there and she's bare footed. And it's dewy.

They make these things? Called shoes?

I've heard of these things. I believe that they may be a sound investment, everyone will be wearing 'em...

Seriously.

I want to acknowledge our friend Bobathonic.

That person played a game that I wasn't sure that I was playing.

And then they sank one into my heart.

I don't mean that in a sexy way.

Bobathonic gouged me in a clever way. In a way that I did not even mean.

Always fun to get slapped in the face with a fish made of your own postulation!

Expand full comment

Postulated Fish Slap doesn't appear on the menu, generally one has to ask for it special

Expand full comment

The treatment for postulated fish slap is routine, but still painful. Usually you need a truss and a month or so off physical labour.

Just as long as there's no leeches

Oh, there's millions of leeches- leeches for thee. Millions of leeches, leeches for free.
