I agree.
On a similar note, I used to loathe everything related to Justin Bieber until I saw this:

I don't think that's a baby owl, just a small one.  Young maybe.  It does have that dumb look in its eyes.  A baby owl wouldn't have regular feathers.


Pygmy chicks.  (Don't.  ::) )


Skeksis for comparison...

I'd have to question that a bit, assuming you're the future me.  Today I finally realized an Australia connection that's been with me the whole time.  But if you're me, the part about how I become you is missing.  I can't possibly remember something that in the future.....

All right I'm giving up there.  There was some kind of joke/point to that, but it's late and I'm losing the ....  track of thought... or my brain's not getting the idea out, can't find the words....  Darnit....

That's not quite accurate for an old cat lady though.

And I see dogs get their own word, just mushrooms.
