Short checklist
Just three quick notes:
First, a very happy birthday to Samantha Ling, long may her merciless reign prevail. Birthday! Woo! Birthday!!
Second, will the guy who recently made the really good magazine sale please announce it so we can go congratulate him? Thank you!
Third, despite being posted with a kinda retarded title, this United Airlines commercial features some truly wonderful and beautiful animation and storytelling, and I cannot get enough of it. I mean, damn. It's really nice.
Okay, was that everything? Yeah, think so. Okay.

Dood, this just goes to show that you are pure of heart and one day some kingdom somewhere will be yours, but I am old and jaded and yes, it's beautiful, but I am so tired of the "Businessman as Hero" crap I could do unmentionable things on the doorstep of your castle.
No offense. I do think it's lovely animation. Just can't stand the subject matter. Maybe it's a reaction to the hated job.

You know, I'm sorry. This was very rude. It *is* pretty and I wouldn't do anything on the doorstep of your castle.
I just hate trying to make businessmen into heroes. They are not heroic. It cheapens the idea of Hero, which is one of the problems with the world today.
I'm sorry.

Aw, thanks, Lori, but you don't have to apologize. First of all, I like people with opinions. Second, I don't even disagree with your opinion. I just got enamored with the commercial and didn't really think about the ideas it was expressing. And just as a general note, I want my blog to be like a big table at the pub. As long as everyone stays friendly and respectful (as you have) disagreement is welcome. I can enjoy the beer and wings even with people who see things differently than I do.

Hilariously, I didn't actually see this post until after I announced my sale.

Yeah, well, I still think you're much purer of heart than I am, dear Galahad. :-)

This big table of yours, is it anything like this?

There's beer at this table, right?
Is there quaffing?

Scott,
As member of the van Eekhout clan, I think I speak for all of us when I say ... Dood! That picture is just what we needed to see! HAHAHAHAHA!

Gack!
By Greg van Eekhout, at Thu May 04, 01:22:00 PM MST
It is very pretty! I like how the table breaks up into shields. But my personal favorite is that the description says Ninjas.
Ninjas!!
