“You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch”

You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch, Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas & Horton Hears A Who!

I normally wouldn’t do this one, but my wife looked me in the eye this morning and said “The Grinch is clearly supposed to be analogous to Grendel; therefore, How the Grinch Stole Christmas can be seen as a symbolic representation of the final conquest and conversion of pagan belief structures by Christianity.”

So, yeah, after that I pretty much had to put this up.

  1. Ok. let me just jump in here and be the first to ask…no..BEG for the transcript to that conversation. Unless….you just .you know..decided to stay married, and just blog my favorite tune of mostly all time. mostly.

  2. Your wife has an interesting mind. It would therefore also be the representative of the triumph of science over superstition and un-reason. Your wife seems to think in terms of symbols odd for engineer.

    But after some thought on the matter maybe not.

  3. I don’t have anything cool to say about symbolic representations of pagan belief structures. I always thought the coolest thing about this was it had Tony the Tiger on vocals.

  4. And here I thought his heart was three sizes too small…

    Just Dave: Yeah, the marvelous Thurl Ravenscroft. He had a cool name, too…
