101 Reasons to Be Happy
Yesterday, at Rob’s impetus, we watched the original One Hundred and One Dalmatians, which I had never seen before. I also don’t have any experience with Dalmatians in general except for the one on the next block that once ran into the street to attack Goblin, so I spent the whole movie trying to reconcile that stupid and aggressive beast with the brilliant and loyal breed that ran for miles in an attempt to rescue their kidnapped puppies. In the end, but for her love of fur, I would have been the most enamored of Cruella De Vil, who had a winning personality and fabulous hair. But since I am strongly against wearing furs, I think it’s appropriate that this poor woman, who only wanted a nice new black-and-white coat, is reviled with the worst of the Disney villains, most of whom were bent on total global domination. (Although given the chance, I think Jafar would have also leapt at a floor-length Dalmatian-skin cloak.)
Fur is murder, people. Disney knows it, and now you know it, too.

Honestly, if my roommate's dogs don't stop eating the walls, it'll be murder alright. I won't have enough for a coat, but there will be plenty for a Chihuahua man purse.

Are you talking about the animated version or the Glenn Close version?
Knowing this would clarify so many things about you!!! ;)

It's not murder if you duct tape live animals to an existing jacket, though.

Brian: Goblin has never eaten a wall in her life. I think you got a bum deal.
Hanuman: The original animated version. I have still not had the pleasure of the Glenn Close remake.
Jwer: Leave it to you to find a loophole.

So that's why you're always throwing red paint on me! Word to the wise, though: I'm just really hairy.

How do you feel about infant-skin duvet covers?
Zenchick: "Evil" spelled backward is "Live."
Cara: But now you're really hairy and red, and isn't that better in the long run?
Licketysplit: If they don't smell like poop, I would support that.

Zenchick: Where's the fun in that? Now if you'll excuse me, I have to feed my luxurious coat...
