Demented Disney
So we were having some nice pasta and meatballs for dinner this evening, when suddenly I thought of lobsters. You know lobsters aren’t orange in their natural habitat. They’re normally blue, black – spotted, brown, colors like that. No – they only turn orange after you boil them and serve them on a plate. Same with most crustaceans – crabs for example. Then I got to thinking that Sebastian the crab (he’s a crab, not a lobster, you could look it up) is sort of a reddish orange color. That’s not natural for a non-boiled crab. So what does this mean? Is Disney saying that Sebastian was boiled at some point? Maybe not fully cooked – but certainly burned enough to carry on the rest of his days with a somewhat irritable personality. It’s a little spooky.And while we’re at it – have you ever noticed that Mickey Mouse has a pet dog – Pluto. Pluto looks like most dogs – but then you notice that Mickey also has a close friend – Goofy.
Goofy is also a dog – except he talks and wears pants.
Then there’s Mickey’s other friend – Donald Duck.
Not a dog – but Donald wears a sailor shirt and hat. Oh, and no pants. Does anyone notice that Donald is walking around pants-less? It’s wrong. What’s the issue – can’t get pants over his big webbed feet? Even a pair of shorts might be nice.
It’s these sort of dinner conversations that seem to make Chrissy eat quickly and run from the room. It’s all good though – cause I got the last meatball!
