The shadows of our own desires stand between us and our better angels, and thus their brightness is eclipsed.

We also got a question right because of Amy’s love for Little Einsteins (”Yay, Grieg!”)

At the pub quiz last night Kerry and I learnt that the literal German translation for Dachshund is Badger hound.

Of course the british Dennis the Menace is more of a menace, he is bedecked in black and red, traditional anarchosyndicalist colours (if its not too reactionary for anarchosyndicalists to have a tradition) plus he was one of the role models for one of the heroes of our age - Johnny Rotten along with Norman Wisdom.
A post modern interpretation of the Dennis the Menace stories shows him to be a class warrior with a keen eye for injustice and window panes ;-)

“Strange cultures in third world countries?” Did you think that would go unnoticed? I just hope the fine folks at the airport don’t read your blog or you’ll really get the deluxe treatment when you try to bring that badger through.

As for Dennis, we do have to admit that ours is less of a ruffian. I guess we’re just more refined.

Look, how many times do I have to point out that yours cannot possibly be the superior badger - as yours is quite blatantly not a badger. It is a strange wombat/dog hybrid.

Hell, I have no trouble renouncing our Dennis the Menace. It’s a stupid comic that no one reads, so chances are good that yours is better.

The badger thing, however, is non-negotiable. Either you admit that ours is superior or you’re not going to be allowed in the state.

You must really hate your badger anyway, since apparently you go around murdering them. We let ours live in peace. Americans are good that way–seeking peace everywhere in the world and all that.

And regarding Greg’s unitard–you have no idea the glory that shall be yours!

Our Dennis is definitely drawn better. Yours looks like someone expanded on some spilled ink. And note the sling shot in his back pocket. I doubt a peashooter can take an eye out.

As for Chicago…are you familiar with Blue Man Group over there? It’s something you should definately try to see while here. It’s a fantastic show! I know that Greg is a fan as well.

Thanks for the offer of bringing me something! That’s so kind! If I think of anything (heavy), I’ll let you know.

Never. But we welcome you anyway.
