"Worm," for some reason, is the sweetest little word in the world, particularly when pronounced "wum" by little kids who still can't get their r's quite right.
I always thought a boyfriend pillow was one of these, and even then I thought the name was a little creepy (though my battered, god-knows-how-old one sure is comforting). All these disembodied body parts are kind of horrifying.
I feel like I saw some of these on another website once, latched onto the piercing with a magnet. Google is not helping.
Nothing I'd want for myself (especially considering that toddlers are my very line of work, and I only wear glasses outside the house when I'm too lazy or worn out to put in my contacts. Also, if you only wear glasses on rare occasion, it makes kids even more likely to yank them off just for the sheer novelty of it), but definitely inventive.
I don't know what to think about this, but the original is one of my favorite movies of all time. Last year I took a class on children's film and my prof somehow convinced Mel Stuart to come to class on Willy Wonka day. It was super awesome.
From what I've heard, flashboy's right and Burton worked more from the original book than the '71 film (judging from the trailer, though, I'm guessing he used elements of both). That said: I, for one, would love to see Depp and Wilder have a dance-off.
Wild; I had a conversation just this morning about what a great market there'd be for crocheted ipod cozies. I've thought about custom-making a few and putting my profits toward finally being able to afford one of the goddamn things.
Forgotten New York is a goldmine if you're interested in New York City subways. Or lampposts. Or ghost ads. Or cemeteries. Or the streets themselves. Or practically anything, for that matter. I think I've read every word on the site by now; fascinating stuff.
