Give me the power of man’s red flower, so I can be like you…

I’m sure many of you are expecting one or both of us to come out with a long, thoughtful post detailing experiences shared and lessons learned during the heady days of Kosher Eucharist Does Israel 2007, but honestly, a lot of it is hazy. Come to think of it, that actually brings me to a lesson learned: separately, Chris and I may be mildly functional members of wider society, but together, we are bitter, misanthrophic alcoholics. Except we also giggle a lot.
I bet Hemingway giggled more than he let on.
But really, I can’t think of much beyond that. So as a shorthand method of helping our readership understand the nature of the time we spent together in Israel, I present a complete list of the movies we downloaded and watched over the course of those three weeks, usually while staggeringly intoxicated:
- Lady and the Tramp
- The Jungle Book
- The Lion King
- Sleeping Beauty
- The Land Before Time (which, by the way, is HEARTBREAKING. Seriously, revisit it. How did we watch that as kids so often and not wind up horribly socially maladjus…oh no, I think we’ve just achieved a breakthrough here.)
- Cinderella
- 101 Dalmatians
- Robin Hood
- Aladdin
- Mulan
- Zombie Flesh Eaters
Doesn’t that really say it all?
Oh, okay, one more lesson learned. Gin + Schweppes Bitter Lemon? Goodbye gin & tonic, hello handy surrogate for the love of a woman.

The Land Before Time IS totally heartwrenching. So much so that when my kids watch it I can’t even be in range to hear it because I’ll start crying. They however don’t, hmm …
And the Disney Robin Hood is the best of all the Robin Hood movies ever made. There I said it.

It’s strange that children seem to be unfazed by the Land Before Time. I mean, you’d think having your mother die a terrible death and leave you utterly stranded and alone would at least make the top ten of most children’s list of fears. Especially when you throw enormous sharp-toothed dinosaurs into the mix.
As far as Disney’s Robin Hood being the best Robin Hood movie ever made, was that ever even in dispute?
