My father trained our cat to say Red Rum when it wanted table scraps

"Why don't you grow any taller? You're YELLOW! You scared bunch of pussywillows! Grow dammit! GROW!"

The red tulip must have some sort of unfair advantage due to its hue. It must be knocked down so that the yellow tulips have the same opportunities to grow as tall as the red.

I like the way you think, J-girl. We want sustainable diversity in flower populations.

Juliana, you've got it right, for sure. Why settle for equal opportunity when, with just a little effort (whining), you can get assured equality of results.

(So what if mediocrity then becomes inevitable...)

All work and no play make Jack a very dull boy.

I think Harrison Bergeron should be required reading and watching for everyone to see how an "equality of Outcom" society would really function

If this picture had a sound effect it would be "poink!"

"It must be knocked down so that the yellow tulips have the same opportunities to grow as tall as the red. "

I don't think so. Let her be tall. I happen to be short and I like tall girls.

I can't wait for the summer to start in America as the girls are usually taller here. Take that China!! And tall American girls would like to wear short shorts. Take that Saudi Arabia!! And they shave their legs. Take that Germany!!

Reads like Chang's got a little Spring Fever.

(Pfffft- sprays him with a hose)

Down boy!

Oh, let him go, Juliana. Hell, I can't even remember that last time I even had a little spring fever...

Amy, did you see any bald eagles?

Only saw James Ellroy and other bald men at the LA Times Festival of Books, where I was this weekend, moderating panels with three authors.

(I didn't take the tulip shot.)
