I am not sure how much I like Duchesse and her family. Somehow the clean-cut cat image doesn’t do much for me, I do not find it to be very convincing – too cute by half… Not sure if Disney himself would have portrayed them quite like this. (Aristocats was made after his death). But Thomas O’Malley and the Scatcat gang are absolutely unbelievable…

I was looking for an episode from Fawlty Towers which I was telling my sister about earlier today when I came across this. The funny bit starts around minute 8 and is actually just a few lines. But those few lines are worth almost the entire series.

Priceless!

Will generate a tale synopsis by using a list of functions based upon Vladimir Propp’s concept of narrative structure. The following was generated using the functions “unrecognized arrival”, “unfounded claims”, “transfiguaration” and “wedding”:

“When I returned home Mother was not there. Instead, there was a man leaning against our door, sipping guava juice through a straw. He told me the lady of the house had left to search for her son, and that he had taken residence. I looked down on him and winced. His feet stank of manure.

“This man,” he pointed at me, “this man killed our father. See the blood on his shirt Mother? See it? The smell is like one of our own.”

My mother’s embrace rendered the burns and boils on my skin pristine.

I was offered a place in the palace, but I could not accept. I wanted to be with the mountain; I felt it move under my skin as I knew part of me was in the mountain too.”

Very nice online portfolio and image storage platform. Not free, the basic plan is 25$ a year and gives you 2GB of upload space.

Absolutely brilliant!

Music loops. You must attribute the composer, and non-commerical only, but otherwise opensourced.
