DVD ON SHELVING RACK: The Grinch Grinches The Cat In The Hat

IDLE THOUGHTS: You know, for some reason that always sounded really, really creepy to me.

SANITY PRESERVATION UNIT: *shudder* I sense a disturbance in the Force!

IT: Of course, Dr. Seuss always kind of weirded me out. Something under his innocent books held a sort of vaguely Giger-esque dark madness for me.*

SPU: My god, she’s going to—

IT: And the idea of putting those two characters in the same feature seems somehow to hint at a monstrous clash of the titans.

SPU: RED ALERT, RED ALERT! STOP THIS TRAIN OF THOUGHT! ALL STOP!

IT: And what do we mean by the verb “to grinch,” anyway? Way too sinister-sounding.** I can’t really come up with any definition that doesn’t sound—

SPU: *dramatic slow-motion dive* NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!

IT: —like … Grimdark Seuss.

UNBIDDEN MENTAL IMAGES: *abound*

THE REST OF AMELIA’S BRAIN: GAAAAAH MUST CLEANSE WITH FIRE.

SPU: I have failed. *commits seppuku*


Obviously my Idle Thoughts are trying to grinch me. I kind of wish my Sanity Preservation Unit didn't have The Bishop’s timing.


*Also true, to a much greater extent even, of Gumby. Seuss I still like; Gumby is goddamn Lovecraftian horror. I am absolutely terrified of him.

**Trust me, the theft of Christmas would be the least of your worries.

I grew up with some Gumby films... But man, even back then, they were creepy. I don't know if I could watch them without nightmares now. I also learned to read with some Dr. Seuss books... I hadn't been able to think that much into it, though. XD
