#in the wake of the news

This I bring up as a sort of insight to a Fanfic Friday piece some while back as found Peter Potamus somewhere in the uncharted reaches of Polynesia discovering a sacred tiki statue underwater supposedly ejaculating out of nowhere; such being inspired by reports about supposed "miraculous" shedding of blood or tears from crucifixes or statues of Our Lady, and such bound to raise skepticism as to their sincerity.

I may be the only one with this opinion, but I actually do want the sims series to end here at sims 4. I think we've had a decent run and I don't know we can hope to expect from EA going forward. Someone said this before, but the sims 4 has felt very endgame-like. So, yah, as long as we keep the community alive with all the good content then let's end it here, no?

In the wake of a major outbreak of poisoning by "country liquor" in India

SECRET SQUIRREL, explaining things precisely to Morocco Mole, his sidekick and confidant: If I may be clear about it, Morocco, "country liquor" is a local term, and a very ironic such at that! MOROCCO MOLE: How ironic, Secret Squirrel, is "country liquor"? SECRET SQUIRREL: Morocco, such may call to mind American hillbilly moonshine or Irish poteen; in these parts, however, "country liquor" will sometimes use labels similar to recognised international brands of high-end exotic booze, but with deliberate manipulation to avoid the possibility of a copyright-infringement claim, as if the use of methyl alcohol and other weird and unwholesome ingredients wasn't bad enow! MOROCCO MOLE: So what exactly is the problem with this methyl alcohol? SECRET SQUIRREL: For one, Morocco, methyl alcohol, alias "meth" or "denatured alcohol," is derived from the wastes of papermaking; and for another, it's dyed blue to serve as a warning against human consumption! MOROCCO MOLE: And yet you wonder how exactly humans still fall for such "exotic booze", unaware that such is bound to blind or kill them in the end....

Lest we forget about Loopy De Loop selling himself as "ze good wolf" in the name of challenging negative perceptions and stereotypes against the lupine race by example--only to have such backfire with hilarious consequences.

Making you wonder what the reaction must be of such veterans of the Hanna-Barbera studio still around who worked on the several ursine-inspired flicktoons over the years.

Hair Bear Bunch, anyone?

(Come to think of it: How would 3400 Cahuenga have done up a Malaysian Sun Bear?)

We can hardly wait for the Yogi Bear allusions to turn up any day now. Or even those of the Hair Bear Bunch, for that matter.
