Fats Domino Does “Me and My Monkey”?

Someone who knows photoshop needs to help me out here so that my dear departed Bailey no longer looks like a space alien with laser eyes.
I love animals. There is nothing like the unconditional love of an animal, but here’s why most people don’t take animal rights groups completely seriously. This may also be the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read.
From the trivia section of imdb’s Shawshank Redemption listing.
” The American Humane Association monitored the filming of scenes involving Brooks’ crow. During the scene where he fed it a maggot, the AHA objected on the grounds that it was cruel to the maggot, and required that they use a maggot that had died from natural causes. One was found, and the scene was filmed.”
A fucking maggot!@!@!
The mind boggles at how many people could have been fed with the time, money, and effort used to make this epic decision.
“Mr. Darabont we have an issue with your script”
“You mean all the man on man rape?”
“No, we’re cool with that, but do you really think we’re going to allow you to film the killing of an innocent live maggot? Just what kind of maggot snuff film are you trying to foist off on the American public - you sick freak!”
Idiots - they’re everywhere.
In a drug fueled haze, Charlie Sheen tied up Mel Gibson threw him in the back seat of his Mercedes, called him a panty-waist and proceeded to go on a raping and looting pillage through downtown Hollywood.
In other news, America loves Two and a Half Men and hell, frankly so do I.
Did you ever notice that it’s much more effective to live the first 99% of your life like a total lout and then cryingly apologize at the end (Mickey Mantle) than it is to live a fairly good life, set a standard ridiculously high for yourself and then screw up when you’re too senile to think clearly?
Set expectations low early and be good looking and charismatic - it’s the American way.
It’s why James Dean managed his career so much better than Marlon Brando did.
You want to know why Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh are wetting themselves? Above is Paul McCartney being honored by a Black President and starting his night’s performance with “Got to get you into my life” a song that he wrote about how much he loved marijuana!
Sure it’s not Snoop doing “Gin and Juice” but it’s still pretty badass! Then again politically you could be an anarchist and it’s still not expedient to mess with a Beatle especially this one.
30 years ago the government had John Lennon killed now their honoring his partner. Then again maybe this isn’t so nice - kill the controversial one and get close with his relatively middle of the road ex-partner who has even been Knighted by the Queen of England.
Damn - those clever behind the scenes fascists!

The commode scene in Reservoir Dogs never ceases to amaze me. I think that Quentin Tarantino called it “a lie scene” because even though the action is shown onscreen - it’s something that never happens.
In his first movie Tarantino brashly basically announced that he was going to show a scene of great acting as Tim Roth as an undercover cop is told that he has to become an actor and that memorizing a funny anecdote to prove that he is a criminal will help him. Then Roth actually pulls it off by showing you the difference between just reading words off a page and really becoming a full blown character with an implied past. It may not be the best example of acting ever, but it’s got to be the best called shot ever. “The following scene will be a complete failure unless you are convinced that the acting is done impeccably.” Add on to that Tarantino editing the first stab, the practicing, the final performance, and the lie brought to life all at once and wow!
Tarantino was arrogant enough to stick his neck out and together with Roth they pulled it off. Amazing stuff.
