My favorite Moomin cartoon is the one with the little uptight dog who has a terrible secret. (Spoiler alert: He only wants to be friends with kitty cats. That's his secret.)

You know, I think my address was Elyria, OH. I was pretty young then..

Thu. 12/18/08 11:48am doug:

i guess we may've been neighbors, then. In the 70's, there was a restaurant across from the shopping center called "The Feedbag" with a picture of a horse w/ a bag strapped to its nose. No joke !

Hey Trouble,
Check out Marvinsuicide.org episode 164. No bird calls but a German angst rant that has a very different take on what birds are up to (and alot of other living things). I think it's a joke, maybe. Merry Christmas.
