Saw this in the UK, it’s really very good, plenty of adult humour hidden among the slapstick and silly stuff for the kids :)
My favourite Aardman character is the chicken.
A couple of years ago I was flying into Boston from London and was waiting at the luggage carousel while a beagle in a snazzy navy blue jacket and his handler, a tiny, sweet-faced Chinese-American lady, did the rounds, giving everybody a thorough sniffing. And he was such a good dog, so serious and so professional.…
Unless.....
I highly recommend the blog of the costume emroiderer, Michele Carragher. She has fantastic detail pictures of several of these.
I have certainly had worse days than being swamped by photos of competent woman with amazing machines doing interesting science, most with far-too-intriguing story-captions.
How did I miss that article? or should i be happy that I was ignorant of it and use this one as my ‘thats enough internet for today’ tally?
I think the look of disgust on my face is now permanent. And now I have an eye twitch.
I accept your offer! I can move into your shed next week. Does Wednesday work for you? I can bring my own books.
i had a Chinese food delivery guy, he was a white guy btw if that matters, and tipped him well. however, i got the wrong order and didn’t notice it until he left. I knew for sure it was not his fault, the receipt that was stapled to the bag was mine, the kitchen made the mistake, I was about to call the restaurant…
My mom basically put her career on hold until she was 40, after being repeatedly asked in job interviews if she planned to have kids, what did her husband think, etc.
I couldn’t watch Mad Men if you paid me. I’m 54 now and grew up in the 60’s and 70’s. My generation was really the first generation to go to college not to find husbands but start and have careers. Even as a little girl, I knew that somehow it wasn’t easy for women as it was for men and I was mad as hell even then.…
Truth be told, I have difficulty understanding how women can say they aren’t feminists and that they aren’t angry at how things are.
Oh, don't get me wrong. I own power tools and a hand truck. I can hide the bodies of those who get in the way. :) I just often struggle with wondering if my anger ends up fucking me over, and I feel like we ladies who fight hard deserve peace. Or a cocktail. Preferably both. Give your mother my regards. Without the…
That is exactly what my mother told me when I was an idiot teenager. Now I’m 38, she’s 70, and our combined disgust at the surges of anti-female legislation is enough to power a small town.
The woman who came before us must be so pissed, wherever they are.
In 35 years, from 1958 to her retirement in 1993, in a small-town corner of Corporate America, my mother went from the secretarial pool to a position as a market analyst for a major pharmaceutical company, having frequent interactions with their internal advertising department, as well as with executives from…
I’m 56 and cannot understand why younger generations AREN’T as angry. Give it time. It grinds you down - even with the battles won, the shit is still there.
Aw, thanks! I hope you like it! I only had to close my eyes at one point, because I can’t really handle a certain thing happening to certain people... I don’t want to spoil it. It’s obvious when it’s happening. (I’m not talking about a sexual assault, either. How weird is it that I can say that? No women are sexually…
