I'll take a break from posting updates on various projects to rant about something that's been nagging me to no end.  I suppose I started to notice it years ago.  After graduating high school, and meeting new people, I began to see a trend forming - people who loved Mickey Mouse, and people who loved Bugs Bunny. Sort of like the whole Rolling Stones/Beatles argument - it's impossible to like both equally.  You've gotta choose sides!  Mouse people always seemed upbeat, over-cheerful, and extremely sociable.  The Bunny people are more cynical, always brooding about something, and you couldn't pay them enough to run with a pack.  While the Mouse people are constantly extolling the virtues of Walt Disney & his magical empire, the Bunny people can't wait to drop an Acme anvil on their collective heads.  Mouse people love, I mean LOVE a good pie fight.  Bunny people love to see someone wrapped in sticks of TNT being ignited with a flamethrower.  Mouse people are never sarcastic.  Bunny people are never sarcastic.  Mouse people still use AOL, while Bunny people are running Firefox on a pirated version of XP over someone else's unsecured wireless internet connection.  Mouse people spend hours picking out the perfect birthday card for that special someone.  Bunny people can't even remember their own birthday.  Mouse men drink light beer, Bunny men drink some unpronounceable German lager that has the viscosity of used motor oil.  Mouse women have pink drinks with fruit that end in 'ita', 'ito', 'iri', or 'ini'.  Bunny women drink some unpronounceable German lager that has the viscosity of used motor oil.  Mouse people have t-shirts, hats, shorts, and all the matching accessories adorned with various Disney characters.  Bunny people have tattoos of their favorite Warner Brothers characters.  You can give a Mouse person a fish.  You can teach a Bunny person how to fish.  Mouse people think Pluto is a dog.  Bunny people still think Pluto is a planet, godammit!  A Mouse person thinks they are right.  A Bunny person knows they are right.  A Mouse person will tell a Bunny person that the glass is half-full.  The bunny person will tell the Mouse person that the glass is half-empty.  The Mouse person will again state that the glass is half-full, then the Bunny person will say that the glass is half-full.  The Mouse person will now inevitabley say that the glass is now half-empty. 

     There are some similarities, such as needing to breathe and eat, but that's about it. 

     That's all, flolks!
