Just so I’m not sobbing alone, let’s all watch the end of It’s a Wonderful Life together, OK?

Next year, after the Krampus uprising, perhaps the Dreamland could put on a modern Ypsi version of It’s A Wonderful Life, starring the puppet Mark and Syrah Praylin.
Don’t forget the “lost” ending from ” It’s A Wonderful Life” (Saturday Night Live) at http://www.hulu.com/watch/4267/saturday-night-live-its-a-wonderful-life-lost-ending.
Also, in memory of George Bush, there is “Its A Blunderful Life” at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSviJq-DhEQ
Hollywood can’t make me cry. That’s what home movies are for.
OK, it now occurs to me that people might think, given my last comment, that I had a wonderful youth, and the tears would be over the great times I had with my family. I know that none of you know me, but I thought that I should set the record straight and let you know that wasn’t the case. The tears wouldn’t be happy ones.
I’ve been thinking about this all night.
I often wonder what my life would have been like if everyone else hadn’t been born.
I suspect that most people, if given the George Bailey treatment by a guardian angel, would find that the world wasn’t really all that improved with their presence. Most folks, I figure, are probably responsible for as much evil as they are good.
I don’t interact much with any decent people, so I am pretty sure that my major contribution to this life has been to unnecessarily occupy the time and energy of a bunch of assholes who could have otherwise been out bothering decent people. In that way I am certain I have had a positive affect. I sort of see it as my calling in life. It’s why I post here.
Absolutely not, Mark! I learned my lesson the first dozen or so times.
