The fact that this is actually watchable (and very listenable) says a lot when talking about forced xmas duets on tv specials.
Now, for all you xmas curmudgeons, go out and get Aimee Mann's excellent Christmas album, One More Drifter in the Snow. She makes xmas sad again, but in a beautiful way.
A friend has a phobia about robots with red glowing eyes. As far as I could tell, she was not joking about it, judging from her reaction to some email images.
And yeah, the drawer closing is a little OCD-ish, though I don't have any of the straightening or neatness behaviors sometimes associated with it. My wife probably wishes I did. The room can look like a bomb went off in it otherwise, but I just have to close the dresser drawers.
I wouldn't say I'm fearful, but I have to close any open cabinet or drawer in any room I enter. Maybe borderline superstition? I have no idea where it comes from.
When I worked at a parking equipment company some 30 years ago, our installation guys would show up every morning with breakfast burritos wired onto their work truck's engine block. They'd pop the hood and have breakfast in our warehouse. Seemed like such a normal thing to do for some reason.
Well, a giant lava lamp prop and a real, heated & wax-filled lava lamp are 2 different things. I believe snopes has the skinny on why a gi-normous lava lamp could not be made to work like a small one does (physics and chemistry and other stuff they don't teach in the USA anymore).
UM - thanks for the thoughtful reminder. Thank goodness there is always someone to remind everyone how much better breast milk is, while apparently not taking into account that many mothers cannot, for one reason or another, produce adequate quantities of breast milk.
Perhaps you should have used the pre-amble, "For those mothers who are able to breastfeed, but choose not to..." But then again, those mothers probably don't care what you have to say about it.
The truth is, if you had half a brain and could keep your fanboy hard-on in your pants for even a few minutes, it was not that hard to get into the ranch back in those days. Things have changed since then, though.
That list was weak. Re: People's' comments: Schindler's List? Really? Sad, but nowhere near Dancer in the Dark-sad.
But the movie that turned me into a blubbering, weeping mess was Whale Rider. I can barely think about that movie without welling up. I have to go now....
"My parents were so bereft of creativity that they let some unknown douchebag on the intarwebs name me...'Dylan'??? They had to go to the intarnet for THAT?!"
It's better than "Asma" I suppose. WTF are they thinking?

And yeah, this list reads like one big cultural "fail".
