(no subject)
I was just reminiscing about one of my former selves.
Let's call her "Reginald," as that was the name my parents would have given me if I had been born male. For real. I also would have been sent to military school. What a bastard I would have been. I probably would have blown up some public building. Maybe the Federal Reserve. Did you know that the Reserve isn't federal at all? No. It's a cartel. If we blew it up it might help our dollar. There's a lengthy explanation why, but we won't get into that.
Reginald was really nerdy about cartoons-- who drew them, who directed them, who did all their funny voices. Reggie had favorites: Tex Avery, Bill Plympton, Max Fleischer. She had a book of the 50 Greatest Cartoons of All Time or something like that. "The Cat Came Back" was in it, and so was "Bambi Meets Godzilla." Look them up.
She watched Looney Tunes almost daily and had a large mental catalogue of Acme products. She also made flipbooks-- lots of them. They have all since disappeared or been given away as gifts. The most memorable one was "Santa Spontaneously Combusts," featuring a Santa who expands until he explodes into shreds of colored fabric.
This was a great chapter.
I MUST REVISIT IT!!!
