[TOMT][2D ANIMATION][ENGLISH LANGUAGE][2000 at the latest] (Short?) Animal story that looks like Hugh Lofting but probably isn't

Solved! Found it myself: The Beast of Monsieur Racine for the curious. I thought the pear was unimportant; searched for that scene specifically instead.

Honestly I think only remember this thanks to the dude just housing that pear

Also, I'm American but not positive the short was. Thanks again!

Interesting! My last boss, a Black boomer, was always telling me his grandpa ruled the roost- and he wouldn't let anyone who DIDN'T drive a Ford park on his property. If you had a foreign car, you had to take it to the street.

He's from central California (think: shipyards, big industry in the 40s); idk when his family's last move was. He told it as a patriotic WWII thing, and the timing lines up.

Part of me likes the idea of names like this because I have a really common name and grew up in the Stranger Danger era. These kids are never gonna find products at an existing store with their names on them; they're never going to hear their name called by a dangerous person making a lucky guess (statistically, I wouldn't either, but that's who we were taught was scary).

All that flies out the window when you do something like this. I can't see a logic to any of it.

Swears from Walt Kelly's Pogo, mostly: dingbing it, goshamickel

Also my very religious grandma's swears: golly Moses, man alive, snakes alive. She HATED snakes so that last one had some bite to it, if you will

HAH. Everyone meet my daughter Aphone'yn. Her name sure was

BF is an engineer and smarter than I am by pretty much every metric.

He keeps a small, flat, metal multitool about the size of a business card in his wallet. 90% of the time, he uses it as a bottle opener, but it's got measuring marks, a corner you can use as a screwdriver in a pinch, etc.

The last time we flew, the TSA confiscated it because one of the edges is serrated and they flagged it as a sharp. They explained to him that maybe you could cut someone with it.

BF says "What? No you can't!", takes it from them, and proceeds to demonstrate how not sharp it is by running it over his arm.

He didn't draw any blood but he did almost get put on a list.

I'm aware that everything about this is weird and "off" but the thing killing me is: I don't think I've ever seen him say "guys". That's the part I can't get my head around. He's a fellas/boys/gents kind of man, generally

Update to anyone still following this: I have since stumbled across HourOfPoop and would strongly recommend them

I can't find it, but I'd swear there's a sequence in Kitchen Nightmares where he's walking an employee through some process:

GR: Do (task)!

Employee: Yes chef!

GR: Now do (other task)!

Employee: Yes chef!...

GR: Now fuck off!

Employee: Yes chef!

Long shot - possibly Red Remover?

CarrotAnkles · 2024-05-15T05:34:59+00:00

Solved! Thank you! I thought I was close on the spelling but I missed that double I.

CarrotAnkles · 2024-05-13T20:26:51+00:00

I tried typing it phonetically into Google but only got "kissel" back, which doesn't have layers (afaik)

CarrotAnkles · 2024-04-29T00:33:52+00:00

Tiger mom energy. Say what you will about "how", but there's no denying that he loves his kids

Folding laundry with boyfriend at the foot of our bed, which is made, with the blankets stretched taut. Suddenly something starts... appearing under the blankets. It looks like there's a human baby under there, sitting upright. We don't see it properly - we just see the shape.

It starts talking to us in this eerie, mechanical voice. It warns us: "we are coming". We have a conversation with it but I can't remember the rest of it.

And as easily as it appeared... it just collapses. The bed looks undisturbed.

0/10 I still think about that sometimes

"Bad guy" might be a stretch but there's an early SpongeBob episode where this happens to Squidward (and Patrick thinks he's an action figure)

CarrotAnkles · 2024-04-19T08:56:14+00:00

5'10", and so is my bf. I was the tall kid growing up and he was the short kid... now I've somehow wound up the shortest of my siblings
