Finally read this thread, laughing my head off and with tears streaming down my face. The Anti-Sawyer Front, unite!

There is at least one cat-inna-bottle who'll volunteer for service!

That was the first claymation? Might be worth watching just for that....

Notice how it's called the first full-length feature in the "Magic of Claymation". Obviously not written by an animator. Anyone who's tried their hand at claymation knows how excruciatingly painful (Redundant? No, it's just so painful you feel strict rules of grammar can't describe it properly) it really is. Frame. By frame. By frame. I'm going to be starting another soon for fun, but am dreading it...

Excrutiating pain for fun and profit?

One of the voice credits is named Coward Wholesale.
I wish I had a name like that.

Could only be a name appreciated by someone older and no longer at school (Coward Wholesale).

I'm still sticking with Sterling Mortlock as my current fave weird name.

I heard of a primary school teacher a friend had, called Candy Bar. What were her parents thinking?

They possibly were not?

My son's history teacher's name is Dull. Can you imagine what fun the middle schoolers have with that one?

Haha, why not Big Bran?

And no, if parents wanted their kid to be tough, they'd called him Sue, like the song says...

<wonders if aforementioned 'Candy Bar' was a sweetie?>

<out of hospital, feeling very sore, especially in one area, and limited to a 30 second sprint to bog. Needs things to take mind off what body is doing as have no control over certain functions. Has contemplated navel - just fluff. Has contemplated meaning of life: went for 18 years with three remissions and stopped after 12 years. Contemplated suicide but cost of plumber to clean drain afterwards was too much to contemplate. Contemplated chocolate - ate it, now contemplating short amount of life without chocolate.>
