featherynscaleLately I determine what is "good" on the basis of functionality. If a thing does all of the things I expect it to do, it is "good". Example:
Me: Goodbye dog, don't do anything terribly destructive while we're gone.
Kittenpants: He's such a bad dog.
Me: I don't know, he does all the things you expect a dog to do, chews on things, eats what he isn't supposed to, makes holes in the fence. I think that makes him a good dog. Almost an archetypal dog.
David: I have to admit, he's a very doggy dog. Ur-dog.
Also, on saturday, we had a good ritual.
I think that this is the sort of reasoning that allows me to enjoy monster movies.
