Fangy has a boxing glove on now, and not just any boxing glove, but one of those huge 16-ouncers my dad used to put on me and my brother each summer morning so we could the crap out of each other all day without it showing too much in church. You won't find that tip in any parenting magazine, but you should know that my brother has done pretty darn well for himself. If you encourage your kids to box when they are young, the one who suffers the fewer blows to the head will learn valuable life lessons that will serve him in the world of high-tech finance.
Earth has been destroyed with a George Melies rocket--yet another sly, cinematic reference to eye-gouging. These guys are slick, I tell you what. We have an eight ball, and a hell hound. One of our samurai's swords has been turned to flowers. Is that a peace offering or a dirty trick? I can't tell. Actually I can tell, because I can see Phineas working on the next layer. He's right over there, like 15 feet from me. I could just walk up behind him and peek over his shoulder and tell you what's going to happen next. But I won't do that. Instead I'm going to post it on Ain't-It-Cool News.
Is Ain't It Cool News even a web site anymore? I couldn't tell you. Although I was once hyperbolically introduced as a "web pioneer" (by virtue of my early days at Coudal) before a talk I once gave, I don't surf the web much anymore, at least not since I taught my five-year-old and my three-year-old how to fight. I'm just one toddler-boxing YouTube vid away from earning that title back, though.
Who needs YouTube, though when you've got your making of layer 8 video right here?
Play by play commentary for this match is provided, as it happens, by Kevin Guilfoile.
