    You know, Andrew Carnegie was a philanthropist so that his kids wouldn't get it. Not that he hated them, just that he thought they had already had every advantage and it was time for them to make their own. Billion dollar trusts are too much to leave behind. (Though Carnegie wasn't entirely successful in the getting rid of family money biz either). #warrenbuffett

    @Wannabeer: he also made his son wear his older sister's hand me down clothes.

    No shit. Just one piece of trivia I learned about old Carnegie when I went to Carnegie Mellon. #warrenbuffett

    If people still think he's just rich old burger, coke, and candy man, Manny Maroun has a bridge in Detroit he will sell you.

    (Eh, incidentally, anyone ever connect "Matty" Maroun to Michael Maroun, Carlos Marcello's attorney? Directly, verifiably, to Jimmy Hoffa?) #warrenbuffett

    Awesome. I'm personally convinced the reason you have 30 year olds playing video games like nuts and generally extending their sophomore year into their life is they were truly denied a real childhood—with the ups and downs of it all—and now are stuck in a loop.

    Now I think I want to see this film.

    And what about "In the Night Kitchen"? That was a serious acid trip of a book. I loved it as a kid and more so as an adult.

    @Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: Thank you, my Antipodean friend. I've never seen that before, and Mickey in the Night Kitchen is one of my all-time faves. When I was a kid, I used to pore over the pictures to identify the cooking utensils used in the city skyline. Now I love reading it to the two little avocadoes. Only problem - the youngest little avocado (aged 4) can't understand why we don't eat cake every morning. I think she feels pretty ripped off.

    @DevilsAvocado: in all fairness, it was a lovely compatriot of yrs who first sent me that link. and when i was a kid i used to feel the same way about Margaret Mahy's The Witch in the Cherry Tree. Still don't really understand why baking on a rainy day wouldn't attract witches...

    @mstryphnos: If you're going all medieval on their cute little black-clad asses, I think that, technically, they'd be Vandals. Visigoths usually wore pink, which is what made them so irritable. The Ostrogoths chose a nice creamy beige which complemented their skin tones but did tend to show dirt. The resultant need for constant laundering notably reduced their mililtary effectiveness.

    Is that a popular goth pose? The arms stick straight at the sides while leaning forward slightly?

    Don't get me wrong, I totally love them. I just think the photo is a good candidate for Awkward Family Photos.

    That's actually not as hard to be as it used to be - - now that the crusty old Francistas Fascists are dying off.
