Oh!
Are we going there? With sexy-talk about older women on the prowl? Is it a classy conversation? It is an offensive term? I DON'T KNOW!
So maybe we should talk about the sad stuff, like the death of the mountain lion because of the wildfires. That was sad.
Lots of things are sad, though. And maybe, just maybe, life is meaningless, and therefore death is, too.
Or does that mean then that death is the opposite of life, and that leads us to the conclusion that death is meaningFUL!?
Death life, life death.
Cougar. Have you considered the Cougar to be the kind of a beast the asks you every day to be a better person? Cougars are big and wild and soft, probably. I've never pet one. I wonder if their fur is particularly soft. Probably in places, but I'd imagine that most of it is fairly coarse. There's nothing wrong with coarse hair, of course. It's soft enough. It's just not the kind of fur you'd want to risk your life for. Now if bunnies were giant, scary..
Oh BUNNIES. Now that's a topic. So many thoughts, but I'll stick with the first one. I read Marlon Bundo to the first graders today, and it was FASCINATING to see how early homophobic rhetoric comes. It's a decent book. And about half the kids accepted the whole thing without question, but there were definitely several that said that boys couldn't marry boys, or that the stink bug had a point... and some that just seemed to think that love was icky overall.
That one who said that the stink bug had a point was the most interesting. Because it does take some gumption, when a book is telling you something is RIGHT and the villain is so clearly the villain, to say "The villain has a point." In this circumstance, I don't think the villain does, but it must have been a very clearly taught lesson to that child that they had the gumption to disagree pointedly with the book so clearly.
Huh. I dunno.
I just dunno.
Here's where John Oliver announces the book's release.
