Sean Daily is an English major from New Jersey now living in Las Vegas, the Other City of Lights. "I consider 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' to be comfort reading, I like the al pastor tacos at Tacos Mexico and I count among my literary influences the Chainsaw from 'Doom'. 'RRRRRR! You don't like that, do you, Mr. Undead Marine! RRRRRR!'"
Shanoah Alkire is our Discordian at large. "Born in Santa Cruz, I grew up in Grass Valley and the Bay Area, and now lurk in Las Vegas. My literary influences include Ray Bradbury,
Lewis Carroll, and Douglas Adams. I also program as a hobby,
and currently maintain the Gtk port of Angband. You can find
a rather old bio of me here."
Well, I thought I’d continue with the fairy tale theme. And did you ever notice how many Wolves there are in fairy tales? So to continue properly, I thought it was about time I played Peter and the Wolf. And since it’s too large for one youtube video, it’s split into two:
Peter & the Wolf – Part 1
Peter & the Wolf – Part 2
One thing I always liked with Peter and the Wolf was the identification of the musical themes at the beginning. And then, if you pay attention, you can hear them throughout the rest of the animation. Of course, by all rights, Peter should have been eaten. After all, that was entirely the wrong type of gun to take.
Or at the least, Sonya the duck should have been eaten. Oh well, it’s a childrens tale. The wolf is hella scary, though. And Peters grandfather making wolf shadow puppets with his beard is pretty cool…
You know, Shanoah, by mentioning Talkie Toaster, you’ve given me let and leave to torture you with everyone’s favorite toast-obsessed toaster (like this scene, from the episode White Hole, where Holly gets her IQ boosted to three times that of God, then finds out what it was like to be George W. Bush’s science advisor).
But I shan’t, because I’m not that depraved.
Oh, I’m still depraved, which is why you’re getting this PSA about discrimination against fairy tale creatures, which won RollerPimp Industries first prize it a 48-hour film contest. That’s right, everyone. Imaginary Americans are Americans, too.
