It IS child endangerment. On a farm it’s unbelievably stupid. But it’s not a case that’s likely to be winnable in front of a jury, so no prosecutor will take it on.

Well, there goes the farm. Literally.

This reminds me of the false origin story of Flashdance, ie that these PG dances and not-quite-stripping performances were a growing underground centered around female sexual empowerment. In reality, a bunch of Hollywood producers dreamed it up and knew that men would watch.

If you said, “Please call me Sprzout” and they persisted in calling you “hon” it would be a problem. 

There is literally no such thing as a “quick trip to Thunder Bay.” Come on.

I used to think you had to be 13 to order a teenburger. I honestly did.

Right? I tried keto once, for four hours. I logged breakfast just before preparing lunch, and my app told me I was already over my carbs for the next three days, so fuck that shit.

I’m 100% sure he was drunk. During my interview with him he was drunk, AND kept disappearing to the men’s room and coming back with what appeared to be a streaming cold.

I interviewed Lasseter once. It was my very first assignment in journalism, and he was an asshole to me. It was decades ago, but I bring it up to show he’s been an asshole for quite some time. 

Those two were the original Horrible Emo Couple.

RICH white collar criminals. The hacktivists I know got no bail at all and typically did more than a year of pre-trial custody.

That’s like the difference between consecutive and concurrent life sentences.

That book was genius. I got it on Audible when I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy audiobooks and I listened to it every spare moment for three days. 

Have you tried a pet vacuum? They work wonders, and are great for their coats, if you can get them to handle the noise.

Yep, they are among the best dogs you can get if what you really want is a personal trainer. Border collies are also up there.

$9,000,000,000 of fraud, and yet no prison time.

He didn’t give me a word count at all, and it was 1835 words, and those were in the last paragraph, and he just cut the last third of the article. Chop.

The actual interview should be somewhere in here, probably from 1989 YES I AM OLD THANK YOU. It was the year Tin Toy was released from Pixar: https://issuu.com/dougalder

The Banana Splits was ALSO an animated show.

Interviewing John Lasseter was my very first assignment as a journalist, and he was an absolute asshole to me. He’s very talented, and very nasty.
