9. From someone's who's raised his kids on Dr. Seuss..

Great post!!!

10. you just shit on Seuss's grave

The Cult of Dean gets more absurd with each passing day...

[madfloridian]

11. What is it folks are always saying to us?

Oh, I remember. It is "lighten up."

[Zomby Woof]

13. I have no sense of humor

You can tell because I quote Carlin in my sig line, and well, ask the Lounge lizards, they know what a humorless scold I am - always pissing on everyone's fun.

I love a good parody, but this Seuss re-write is not a good parody. It smacks too much of groupthink and religious devotion, with smarminess oozing from every line. In plain language: It sucked.
