The orphaned baby hippo thinks the tortoise is his mom! And the tortoise, despite being 100 years old, completely tolerates all that misguided love and affection!

Topher Grace was the best part of that movie. As per this quote (thx, imdb):
Robert Wakefield: I can't believe you brought my daughter to this place.
Seth Abrahams: Woah. Why don't you just back the fuck up, man. "To this place"? What is that shit? Ok, right now, all over this great nation of ours, 'hundred thousand white people from the suburbs are cruisin' around downtown asking every black person they see "You got any drugs? You know where I can score some drugs?" *Think* about the effect that that has on the psyche of a black person, on their possibilities. I... God I guarantee you bring a hundred thousand black people into your neighborhood, into fuckin' Indian Hills, and they're asking every white person they see "You got any drugs? You know where I can score some drugs?", within a *day* everyone would be selling. Your friends. Their kids. Here's why: it's an unbeatable market force man. It's a three-hundred percent markup value. You can go out on the street and make five-hundred dollars in two hours, come back and do whatever you want to do with the rest of your day and, I'm sorry, you're telling me that... you're telling me that white people would still be going to law school?
Since the very beginning, I have claimed that Lost is an ode to the importance of open communication. So much of the drama on this show would be negated if only people were straight-forward and forthcoming!
When you get mad at a troll like Steve Winwood, you only make him stronger. Publicly yelling at Steve Winwood = Steve Winwood wins. #paythetrolltoll #themoreyouknow
