The same one. The lion was pretty good, except that his mouth didn't move in sync with what he was saying, which was a bit disconcerting.
But many of the other animals weren't exactly realistic, to say the least.

Did they actually serve these? Seriesly?I'm series! :) They used to serve them until they suddenly stopped for no apparent reason a few years ago. Everyone I know wishes they still served them.

Didn't hear about the Wizard Kabob--ouch!--that looks painful!!! Must remind Christopher Lee of his days getting staked as Dracula :)

I guess I don't remember the other animals, I just remember the lion. There was an earlier cartoon adaptation which I liked better than that one. BTW, I read recently about a proposed movie adaptation--did you hear about that?
To: Fedora
Do you remember the beavers? Those are the ones that stick the most in my memory. People in big, awkward, obviously rubber beaver suits.
Yeah...I've heard that they're doing another adaptation...and that Disney may be heading it up. I'm trying to hope for the best. But with a movie that is FAR more analogous than LOTR, I'm a little worried. I don't think it's possible to MAKE it without Christian symbolism, but they'll probably try. Grrrr.

Green milkshakes are just strange. I like chocolate... not McDonalds, though, a real chocolate malt so thick you almost need a spoon.

Well, the pic came out real early.... During the FoTR buzz. At that time, the Wizard Kabob was debunked as a "Canary Trap"... a deliberate false rumour designed to find whatever internal spy was releasing photos they didn't want released.
But then again.... that could be the cover story for the cover story. I tell you what, if he lands on that dang spikey wheel in the SEE, I will bust a gut laughing.

But yeah...chocolate malts are the BEST! There's a local ice cream place that makes their own ice cream, or did...now I think they get it from a place in Maine, but it's still fresh made, premium stuff. They charge something like $2.50 for a HUGH chocolate malt, with LOTS of malt. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it! But they won't open until May. *snif*

Sigh... shouldn't even be thinking about chocolate malts... I've been dieting and exercising and I feel good but the scale hasn't budged in ages. I REALLY want to lose another size before graduation but I just don't know if that's going to happen.

Well...if it makes you feel any better, I didn't lose anything this week either. Scale actually said I gained.
On the other hand, I swear I look and feel trimmer.
I should probably go try a scale that I trust as accurate, or better yet just pitch the thing and concentrate on exercise and such.

:)
I didn't know Disney was doing the adaptation. That could be bad news. . .
To: Fedora
Smart aleck...
Yeah. Disney. So says the rumor mill, in any case.

Mmm... my clothes are looser, but the numbers still look nasty to me. I suppose I should care more about how I feel. Vanity, vanity, all is vanity.

Heh...and then I made the mistake of browsing some of the forums at the coolrunning site. Lotsa women saying "I'm 5'8 and weigh 128, but I'd really like to lose five pounds or so...what do you think I should do?"
They need slappin'.
