Be a man!

Today's discussion reminded me of the Simpsons's episode: Homer's Phobia. Homer is convinced that his son Bart is gay so he takes him into the woods with a bunch of men to drink some beers and kill a deer. They have trouble finding a deer for Bart to kill until they stumble upon a reindeer ranch. Bart doesn't want to kill the reindeer but Homer demands that he does, because it will make Bart a "man". Fortunately for the reindeer, they turn out to be quite vicious and Homer and Bart are the ones who need saving, and are ironically saved by Bart's homosexual friend.

At my school, boys who were at school on opening day were often ridiculed. So I know exactly how that goes...
"Too much of a sissy to miss school to hunt, huh?"

I was going to embed a clip of the episode instead of describing the whole thing, but I could not find one without copyright issues...

Additionally, I looked up "old family feeling" and surprisingly enough, it is not a song!

Now for my topic's news!

The professor I was going to talk to was MIA in class again. >:(

But, 'stuff' happens so I suppose I am going to have to deal! As he always says, if you can't get something to work, don't give up; you've gotta figure things out yourself until it does!

So, that's exactly what I'm going to do!

I'm going to press another professor for as much information as I can possibly get out of him, talk to reliable elder students and whoever else I can get to listen to be in the Com Arts building!

I've been mulling it over quite a bit. I have all of my general stuff essentially figured out, the only thing I'm seriously lacking is a web service to use to host my project. At the moment, I am leaning towards this. I've used the the service before, and I believe it will serve my needs quite well! At the very least it will provide a place for all of my various projects to be located into one huge collaboration!

So, because I feel like I somehow have to make something in this post multimedia-y, here's a clip of the song I appropriately had stuck in my head for the rest of the day after our discussion. Night!

  1. Ah! I love the Simpsons, such a good reference! And the clip for Mulan is actually really interesting when you think about it! I never saw that movie, but it shows the schema's that young women form in terms of women being able to not only fulfill, but exceed the expectations set for men!

    Good post! :o)
