As they lead him away, the Alien is saying, "Our planet has no more coal. Selfishly, and thoughtlessly, we used it all up. Now we search the Galaxy for someone who will give us coal!"

But now, all Santa will bring them are socks and bow ties....

  Cristine Hutchison-Jones Michael, why does he have to be an evil genius? Maybe he wants to destroy the tanks and rockets to bring about world peace!

  Michael D. Cohen A la Kurt Vonnegut's 'Barnhouse Equations'? Possibly, but just not as humorous -- there's no cognitive dissonance. The molecule-like toy next to him screams "Science", while his large and beautifully rounded cranium suggests a powerful intelligence. Finally, trying to see him as an Evil Scientist, literally in the face of his extreme neoteny, is very difficult, which is what makes it so funny.

  Cristine Hutchison-Jones I have to admit... I'd rather see my baby as a force for good and sacrifice some of the humor...

  Michael D. Cohen Of course, you are his Mom. That is your job. Think of it solely as a tribute to his cuteness. P.S. Only 15 years and 7 months until Driver Permit & Practice Driving Time....

Sharing

There's entirely too much sharing on Facebook these days, with people openly attempting to indicate their actual feelings. To put the kibosh (from the Gaelic, "cap of death") on this, I hereby endorse the use of the following Unemoticons:

 

     {:^I}  (ordinary person, head bloody but unbowed),

 

     [:^I}  (apprentice Stoic),

 

     [:^I]  (full Stoic), and

 

     {:^I#  (hipster Stoic, with goatee).
