Anyway, I was wondering, was the hair on her head the only hair that had the magical property to heal and restore? I mean, ah hem, there is hair elsewhere on her body. Has she ever cut that? I would find it odd if she had ever cut arm air. Other hair not so much though.

And if other hair on her body was not magical, then why? What principle made only the hair on her head so special?

I was last man standing against 11 Zombies. Zombies are all the other players who have already been infected. I am backed into a narrow passage. There are only two ways in. I pick one to defend and in come charging at least seven of the zombies. My shotgun is loaded and ready.

Boom! One zombie down.

Click, click – boom! Two zombies down (double kill)

Click, click – boom! Three zombies down (triple kill)

Click, click – boom! Four zombies down

Fifth man in nails me. Blam! I’m dead.

As I am sitting there, as the camera pans out with the game over, one of the zombies starts doing the leg hump maneuver to imply that he “f’ed” me up. Really though? It took seven of you bum-rushing me to kill me and I took out four of you and you f’ed me up?

Boy, you da man!

Pathetic 13 yr olds.

Once again, the lack of consistency bug has struck and it was during Friday night’s airing of the new episode of the Clone War titled “The Citadel”.

In “The Citadel” Anakin Skywalker (who as we all know later becomes Darth Vader) along with Obi-Wan Kenobi and a series of clone troopers are preparing to breach the defenses of an impenetrable Separatist prison to rescue one of their own.  In order to evade detection from the life-form scanners the prison employs, they reprogram some droid troops to pilot the ship and freeze themselves in Carbonite without much of a second thought …

… ok … now consider the exchange between Darth Vader and Lando Calrissian in “The Empire Strikes Back” where they are preparing to put Luke Skywalker into Carbonite so that he can be transported to the Emperor.

Lando: “Lord Vader, we only use this facility for carbon freezing. If you put him in there it might kill him.”
Darth Vader: “I do not want the Emperor’s prize damaged. We will test it on Captain Solo.”

But why?  Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker already knows that carbon freezing works since he personally went through it during the Clone Wars.  Further he and everyone that was frozen at that time survived just fine!  The correct response would have been for Vader to tell Lando that he is well aware that carbon freezing is survivable having gone through it himself!

Gee whiz!  Couldn’t they have come up with some other way of breaching the prison’s defenses that did not make other parts of the story seem just plain odd?

Pixie Dust Activation Theory does need to be explored because if it is more plausible than the concept of anti-Pixie Dust materials then it could easily supplant it as a major theorem or even completely shatter it as a possibility all together.  So another possible explanation for the lack of flight characteristics of certain objects in contact with Pixie Dust other than being made of anti-Pixie Dust materials, such as the fairy’s bag, could certainly be the need for “activation” of the dust itself.  This is a plausible explanation as well since Pixie Dust comes from a tree which itself does not rip up from its own roots and soar into the sky despite being filled to the brim with this magical material.

Example of activation:

Here is a good example of my reason for pondering the “activation” issue.  The mouse at the end of Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure (who is coated in Blue Pixie Dust when this dust poofs into existence and which also grants the power of flight based on evidence in that movie) does not fly even though it is coated in the dust.  But only when another fairy sprinkles additional dust on the mouse can it then fly.

However again the major question to answer here is if activation is required then why doesn’t “activated” Pixie Dust which falls on the ground while being sprinkled cause the dirt or other loose debris it falls on to also fly?  And exactly how, if activation is the mechanism by which Pixie Dust operates to grant the power of flight, does the fairy activate it?  Does the oil of the fairy’s hands act as a catalyst?  Or perhaps maybe there is a rubbing motion that creates the power?

There is also evidence that activation is clearly not required for flight.  In Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, Tinker Bell accidentally spills dust on the poofy cotton like flowers that she eventually uses for her “balloon” to find the lost treasure.  We can clearly see from that scene that she makes no attempt to activate the dust and it causes the plant matter to begin to fly off into the air.

Right now, the process of activation is unknown and it is possible, I suppose, that there is a combination of both an activation requirement and anti-Pixie Dust materials and the need for a unified theorem.

The scene is where Jeremy, the crow, flies back to the house to tell the children that the rats are coming to move the house. Jeremy is tied up and the kids are querying him about the whereabouts of their mother.

Cynthia says: “Aw, the poor turkey fell down.”

To which Jeremy replies: “I’m not a turkey!” and then immediately follows it with the phrase, “Your mother!”

Of course the obvious implication is that he is about to tell the children more about their mother but at the same time it can be taken as Jeremy hurling a simplistic insult back at Cynthia for calling him a turkey. This little exchange always gives me a laugh when I hear it because I remember back in the days of the school yard the insult of, “YOUR MOTHER!” being the last resort of the kid that was loosing the insult wars.

In this episode Dora, so we are lead to believe, is just going around in this episode helping misplaced characters return home to their appropriate seasons.  First she helps a snowman on the beach return home to winter.  Then she helps a flower return home to spring.  The flower is in a pot so do not ask me how the hapless flower managed to get on top of a mountain!  Then she helps a pumpkin (named uncreatively “Jack”) return home to Autumn.  And finally she helps a sand crab return home to the beach and summer.

But it is what each of these critters say after Dora’s helps them that bothers me and leads me to believe that there is a secret message being broadcast.  For example, the flower states clearly that it is, “lost.” Then the snowman just helped by Dora and Boots chimes in, “I was lost, too, but Dora and Boots brought me back home.”  Hmmm.  When the flower is returned home Dora and Boots meet the pumpkin who once again states that he is, “lost.”  Now, not having legs I am still confused as to how the pumpkin arrived in Spring but the flower then announces proudly, “I’s okay, Jack, I was lost, too. But Dora and Boots helped me get home where I belong.” Double Hmmmm. Then after returning the pumpkin to Autumn the crab they meet next says that he too is, “lost.” Of course the pumpkin tells the and crab that Dora and Boots can help saying that he was lost and now is back home. Triple Hmmmm.

It all seems so innocent. Too innocent if you ask me.

Something else is going on here and I think that I have figured it out. All this talk about people being lost and then being back home and helped after meeting Dora and Boots can only mean one thing. That Dora is the High Priestess of the Cult of the Explorer!

Yes, I think that the facts here are quite clear.  Dora, aided by Boots, is going around the countryside recruiting poor, innocent and naive souls to join their sinister cult!  The mindless repeating of the same phrases, the repeated claims of having been helped and that they are now, “home,” clearly points to this conclusion.

The Cult of the Explorer sucks in weak willed creatures and uses them to do the bidding of Dora’s insatiable desire to explore, explore and explore some more.  But being only one girl she cannot explore everything so she needs others to explore for her and bring her back assorted things to stuff into her backpack for use on the adventures she chooses to undertake.

Day and night, night and day, year after grueling year Dora sends out her brainwashed minions to brave harsh deserts and deadly rain forests.  Many of these poor souls never return meeting hideous deaths at the hands of native dangers.  All so that Dora can gain power and make sure that she has what she needs for her own quests!

She is evil!

In her spare time, Dora, I suspect, spends her time terrorizing the creatures of Narnia under the identity of the White Witch!

OMG!  She must be stopped before our children fall into her lust for power!

Anyway here is the opening theme to the show:

Yeah … cool man … it has a really swell beat right?

But then it gets weird. And by weird I mean really weird. Here is a clip of Kipper’s friend Tiger getting stuck and then being found by Kipper and Arnold (a pig). This is probably the most excited or agitated I have ever seen any of the the characters in this show:

Then there is this clip where Kipper gets a little surprise. He barely reacts at all except for falling out of his chair and his scream of surprise seems, if you ask me, a little faked:

It is like this in every episode! Kipper the Dog and his buddies are just too relaxed if you ask me and I have to wonder what is going on. Are they on some prescription mood levelers? Heck in one episode Kipper and Arnold take a journey into the cloud and see all sorts of wonderful cloud created items like a train that carries them around. If this is a real experience then, again, Kipper seems awfully calm for being up in the clouds. Personally if I found myself in the clouds without a parachute or inside an airplane I would be freaking like nobody’s business!  Or perhaps it was just a drug induced hallucination?

Maybe it is even worse than this though. Maybe Kipper and his friends are on some illicit drugs?

Hey, all I know is that something isn’t right with this Dog and his buddies and it wouldn’t surprise me in the least to see them one day in an episode sitting around in a circle passing a joint amongst themselves.
