grinch_and_tiger epitome of incomprehensibility My brother watched How The Grinch Stole Christmas this evening. I came in for the last few minutes to see the Grinch and his dog Max pull the sack of decorations and presents from its teetering trajectory atop a cliff. When that was over, Y. switched to a documentary about Siberian tigers. A Christmas tradition? I query. Yes; haven't I been paying attention? Probably not enough. But when the narrator quoted William Blake's lines about a tiger "burning bright" in the night forest, I recalled my child self running across this poem and wondering what it meant: tigers don't glow in the dark, do they? And also, about the Grinch, how come his sled doesn't topple down the cliff when it looks like it should? Literal child, meet poetic license and cartoon physics. They are probably the same thing. 251223 what's it to you? who go blather from
