Just went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
As I walked out of the theater... I had a thought.
Wonka is weird. But in a way that's vaguely... familiar.

Is that how you guys feel when you're talking to me? I'm not that weird, am I? Oh hell. I probably am.
But part of me says no. I make sense. And I can say the word 'parents' or the word 'family' withough sputtering meaninglessly.
And my father wasn't a dentist.
I definitely got the feeling Wonka wasn't as crazy as he let on. Almost, but not quite.
Which is a very important difference between us. I'm much crazier than I let on. Just... crazy in a different way, that's all.

So. In conclusion. You may see a parallel. I saw it too. But it's wrong!

I am not Willy Wonka! I just like his hat. And his gloves. And the cane. And the glasses. And how pale he was. And that big vacant stare he gave on occasion. And the big creepy smile that I've used more than once to scare those unfortunate enough to be in close proximity to me.

But the rest of it. The factory, the Umpa Lumpas, the whole 'being a guy' thing... not for me. Not at all.
