Huh.

Don't know if I should take that as a compliment and be flattered, or as a threat on my life and run away in fear.

As far as you are concerned, I am the Messiah of the DMV.

Love that movie. It's one of those weird things; people hate to see animals hurt in movies and yet have no objections when any variety of homo sapiens get their head blown off.

When test audiences reacted negatively to some rabbits getting shot in the movie Cliffhanger, Stallone forked out over $100,000 of his own money to show them surviving instead. Think what could have been done with that money instead. Our brains are all messed up.

Hang on, you mean fluffy bunnies were in danger? What kind of irresponsible film-making is that???? Never thought I'd say this, but well done Mr Stallone.

So...here's one - how about Jaye melting the Wax Lion? Nasty...

I was upset by the original lion being melted. I know there were a dozen copies later that episode but still, it was the original.

And the bunnies were never in any real danger. Pretty much every film with even a brief appearance by an animal is monitored now and they get treated with more care than the extras (and often get paid more too). Besides, $100,000? You could save an awful lot of rabbits with that. Real ones.

But die bunnies die! Evil, evil bunnies!

Maybe instead of bbq sauce you should try some catsup?

HARDWARE

I find a certain amount of character discontinuity between the Mal in Serenity and the Mal in Heart of Gold. As the original thread was about Mal shooting Patience's horse in Serenity. I believe this was an expedient to stop Patience from shooting at him and by extension shooting him (again).

In Heart of Gold Mal states; "...Remember, shoot the man, not the horse. A dead horse is cover. A live horse is a whole heap of panic."

Clearly Mal recognizes that a living horse is more useful to you than a dead horse.

The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

You know, I always wanted a pony and never got one. Maybe that's the problem with this thread. We never got our ponies (well, I'm sure a few of you have, but most of us-NO PONIES.) It is the scars from our deprived childhoods that manifests itself in callousness towards our equistrian friends. It's not our faults, Chrisisall!

callousness has two L's, right?

If it makes any difference, I’ve never eaten at a restaurant where I later discovered horse pelts in their dumpster, so I’m fairly confident that I’ve never eaten horse. Then again, dumpsters are rarely checked for horse pelts, to my knowledge. There aren’t many feral horses crawling around the alleys behind restaurants though.

As far as Klingon goes, do you think it would be boney and lean? I think it would be boney. Without a certain amount of fat, you really don’t get a good baste.

Zoid,

Speaking as both a musician (still play in a faculty garage band) and a cat owner, I'm wondering what kind of stuff you used to play. The only time mine seems to like it is when I'm making sounds that approximate one of her "discussions" with the neighbors cat. I've never thought there was much of a market for that particular sonic experience. Have I been missing my big chance all these years?

Yes, you have.

On a related note, nobody really owns a cat. Have you ever tried calling one? (NB: I find yodeling works best, although I was a singer, so your mileage may vary.) A cat comes when it's good and ready to, and not a second before...

Ailurophagically,

zoid

I’ve never called my cat. I’ve never even named my cat. So I wouldn’t know what to call it, if I was going to.

I'm pretty confident that if I tried yodelling, not only would it rid the neighborhood of cats, but the neighbors would call the cops. Or the men in white coats. Whichever got there first. And you're right, in truth we are cat property, not vice versa. On the other hand, I actually do have a cat who comes when she's called, about 90% of the time (my best trained dog never did any better than that!). I kid you not, it's the damndest thing. Such things do exist in this 'verse (though she's the only one of many, many cats I've known who does). Or maybe she's really a small black and white dog with a prediliction for climbing bookcases and the occasional curtain. Or even proof positive that there are aliens among us.........

My cat also comes when he's called, most of the time. But I don't think he realizes he's a cat, so I don't know if that counts.

And I checked; callousness is the correct spelling. yay me.
