Fairy tales don’t teach children that monsters exist. Children already know that monsters exist. Fairy tales teach children that monsters can be killed.

My favorite song by the country bears…. (And Tex Ritter) Probably one of the most mortifying and gross tunes to come out of the Disney catalog, however brief.

Blood on the saddle

There was blood on the saddle and blood all around,
and a great big puddle of blood on the ground.

A Cowboy lay in it all covered with gore,
and he never will ride any broncos no more.

Oh, pity the cowboy, all bloody and red,
for the bronco fell on him and bashed in his head.

There was blood on the saddle and blood all around,
and a great big puddle of blood on the ground.

I can’t even think about a rodeo without breaking into that song.

Big Grey Tom in the front of the little complex here seems to be moving on. All of his stuff is being packed up and taken away.

LJ is being particularly sticky, making it difficult to reply to entries today. It doesn’t *seem* very robust or fast.

Current Read- Charles G. Finney’s “The Circus of Dr Lao“. Very short…easily consumed. I’ve been meaning to read it for ages after having seen the movie. (When was that? 4th grade? Earlier?) Wacky seeing Tony Randall as such a powerful character… Odd thing is, I seem to recall Randall in an interview stating that it wasn’t one of his fondest films. . I prefer Dr. Lao to Mr. Dark in Something Wicked This Way Comes, though I like Bradbury’s writing style more.

For tarpo, the Rotten Tomatoes review.

Man… 11 already? Until later, dear journal!
