Neat Magic Trick

The song that has been stuck in my head is now stuck in your head. Magic!

"Illusions, dad, you don't have time for my illusions."

I am up in your gutz, Criss Angel. No sorcero. (Thanks for the tip, Ted.)

I hate Charles Schulz.

This is what happens when there's a weekly recognized most-hated-comment. People go ahead and say things they don't mean, and bridges are burned, and the future gets dimmer.

No, I'm sorry. This is from a personal experience. You don't know me and you don't know if I am a liar. We agree on that. I had an opportunity to meet Mr. Schulz at an awards ceremony. I think I was 8. I walked up, properly introduced myself, and he just looked at me like I had a disease of some sort. Charles Schulz is an asshole, and this is based on a one time personal experience. Did he have a huge influence and impact on the world of cartooning and marketing? Absolutely. I'm just saying that I hate him with all of my cold, Grinch-like, heart.

One time I was riding a plane to France and I sat behind snoopy and he kept laughing during naughty bunnies and I couldn't hear the movie at all! I hit him with a newspaper too! Then he slammed his chair into my face! Ugh, I hate him for life now!

And wow. Bridges are burned and the future gets dimmer? He's known for drawing a kid with a hair loss problem and his pet beagle who has World War 1 hallucinations. The Far Side ruins Peanuts' shit.

Hey look everyone! It's the kid that Charles Shulz owed something to but didn't know at all!

You mean politely saying thank you to a little kid is too hard? Damn, manners must have changed. You young kids, today... That's it, I sound like I'm obsessed with that one experience in my life. I probably am, too. Peanuts is terrible. Done.

I mean all torment aside, I know, when we were kids, we all had that moment where our expectations of people were shattered in a particularly brutal way, and it's traumatizing. SIncerely. But, the internet wasn't built in a day, and when in Rome, don't be too shocked when you drop BAWMS on a widely beloved figure without qualifying your personal hurt and and the snark fins start circling. (SNARK FINS! Anyone know how I can hug myself? My arms are too raised in the air!)

That is really too bad for you, because Charles Schulz is great.

I think it's time I take the hour drive north and go to the Charles Schulz museum. I hope there is an enclosed exhibit room with this commercial on repeat. I could stay there all night pretend dancing with the gang.

I'm confused. Youtube says "Hot Pepper," but after listening to that (and the resulting earworm), I want a hot dog and a pea pod.

Agreed, good sir. And "hate" is a terrible word, maybe "he's a dickhead?" But I ask when was the last time you thought a Peanuts comic strip was funny? And I'm not talking about the TV specials that had other writers. This is the only one I thought was funny, and it's obviously fake. Let's paint, exercise, and try and laugh at Peanuts.
