Oscar the Grouch should be the host

I would love to get people to thinking that the Oscar is named after Oscar Micheaux, the black Illinois farmboy born in the 188s (height of the Jim Crow period) who accomplished what none of today's loudmouthed and highly-paid black performers and executives have been able to do; he established the only black-owned film studio in American motion picture history.

Extremely random question that just occurred to me as I prepared to floss and brush my teeth: are human beings the only animals that are bothered by bad breath?

Discuss.

My dogs will sniff my mouth, especially after I eat. Does that add a data point?

if your dog has never then said to you, “dude, your mouthwash stopped working two hours ago“, then I’m afraid not, it doesn’t.

But she does know how to open a pet gate - and knows if the handle is up, it is unlocked - and the red clip holds it down, but she can't manipulate it

With apologies to the Kinks:

Everybody's a victim


Everybody has scars


Everybody is special


It doesn't matter who you are


There are barrels of excuses


You can use for your defeats


Or you can lobby for special privilege


That will be cast into concrete

Don't be so crude and tasteless


As to let your talents gleam


Because you just might injure


Someone's fragile self-esteem


Go around with visage downcast


You know it's all society's fault


Stop your ears up like Ulysses


If someone asks "Who is John Galt?"

You can see grievances coming at you every day, long and hard


Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of


People who recognize that it's too much effort to strive

And instead they want prizes, simply for being alive

Everybody's a victim


Everyone has a grievance too


Though less if you're white, or male


Or should you chance to be a Jew


But please don't feel excluded


Now and then we will relent


And even let you outcasts


In the big tent of resentment
