The censored 11 The censored 11 is a group of Looney Toons and Merrie Melodies cartoon shorts that have been banned because they are considered extremely racist. One of them is from 1943 and titled Coal Black and De Sebben Dwarfs. This is a spoof of 1937's Disney animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs with a twist. All of the characters are black and speak all of their dialogue in rhyme and in the manner that some black Americans used during a specific period of time coming out of slavery.

It was a sad day when Kelo went away
My new fur baby I moved to a different house on October 4, 2021, and immediately noticed that it was a cat neighborhood. I saw a black cat, an orange Tabby, and a huge gray, white, and black cat who looked like he had been inside a dryer and my grandchildren named him Fluffy. There was also a light gray kitty and my oldest son said he saw a gold cat roaming the neighborhood. The one who captured my heart was a big gray and white male cat with gold eyes who would be in front of the house of my neighbor two doors down.

"I'm holding my husband in a jar"!
Reel-time can mimick real-time They say art imitates life and life imitates art and the longer I live the more I find it is true. Last week on the ABC soap General Hospital the character Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Alexander) said something that stunned me then had me in stitches and at the same time was very sobering. Tracy was aboard the ship The Haunted Star when she ran into Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). While holding a blue urn with the ashes of her deceased husband Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) she says in her usual facetious manner, “I'm holding Luke is a jar. Everything is peachy-keen in my life!”
