Welcome to Snarkopolis

You're a nice guy and you have nice twinkly eyes, but I'm havin' a real hard time watching you give your class presentation. In the 20 minutes it took you to tell us what happened in Pinocchio I could have watched a fifth of the movie and it would have been a lot more enjoyable. And I'm sorry, but watching a grown man break down in tears over a cartoon is embarassing.

To be fair it was your mom's favorite cartoon, she passed away and that's hard for you. Understood. But knowing the movie is an emotional Mt. Olympus and scaling it, a Herculean task, WHY in the name of Walt Disney did you pick it for your assignment?

Not to be mean or anything...well OK, to be mean, I must add that your work on the project (though I don't think you put much effort into this, besides watching the movie) is somewhat in vain. Oh you'll get a grade, but your shot is pretty far off the target. If the target had been, say, Killington VT, then I'd say you hit a grass hut on Maui.

We were supposed create the developmental history of a fairy tale character, assessing their mental, social and physical state and make treatment recommendations; NOT summarize the plot, analyze the moral of the story and read the lyrics of favorite songs from the movie, enunciating the rhyme in each couplet. "When you wish upon a STAR, makes no difference who you ARE..." Methinks you should stick with computer programming cause liberal arts is not your forte.

And dude, your buddies are right about the Pinocchio tat. Just...don't.

Oh, dear, snarky can be so funny. It amazes me the things people feel they need to memorialize with tattoos.
