Life is like a Hurricane....

Me and a few friends were taking part in that age old conversation: "..do you remember that cartoon from when we were kids"; the conversation that voids a persons status as a free thinking individual.

Talk turned to Disney's habit of cashing in on their older movies, using existing characters in new scenarios, for example, Tailspin which featured Baloo from the jungle book. Baloo would fly about in a seaplane whilst his navigator, a small cub surfed the cloud behind, like one would if water skiing at 15'000 feet. 

Imagine if this were real

Picture it. A seaplane flying through the air with a long length of rope trailing out the back. On the end of the rope, tied around the waist is a screaming baby bear, bouncing about at a terrify speed. 
"Baahhhhh! Baahhhhh!
baby bears sound like sheep

Why? Who would do such a thing? Jump cut to the cock pit. It's a bear! A poor grizzly panicking in the confines of the cabin, as the plane starts to hurtle towards earth. Comedic anthropormophic close up of the big bear looking left and right. He doesn't know how to fly a plane (hahahahahahahah)

Jump back to the terrified baby bear, hurling head over heals, bleating with every jerk of the rope. The rope attached to a falling plane.

Back to the cabin. The bear is going ape, growling and tearing at the walls. He's scared too. 
TAILSPIN!

Last Words

I came across the quote from Carol Burnett, an american comedian, remembering the last moments of  her recently deceased grandmother:

"She said to my husband Joe from her hospital bed 'Joe, you see that spider up there?' There was no spider but Joe said he did anyhow. She said 'Every few minutes a big spider jumps on that little spider and they go at it like RABBITS!!' And then she died...."
