As Calvin's Uncle Max once said,
"Sometimes I think all my friends have been imaginary".
Yes, I know, sionnach. Thanks for posting links. And for no apparent reason, I always think of Lumiere as having the first name Sebastian. (Sebastien?)
"The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty and the Beast" do have a Sebastian and Belle, respectively:
Sebastian the crab
Belle from Beauty and the Beast
I hadn't heard of Belle and Sebastian except from Pro, and (oddly) had the same assumption as sionnach. :) But then I saw a couple of their CDs at the library.
Yeah, that last paragraph is as horrible as any ... if indeed the nasty experiments took place in the way that's described. But it must be true, I found it on the internet.
I'd never heard of Belle and Sebastian either. I'd kind of assumed they were Pro's imaginary friends.
Now compare to some of their CD covers...
Ahh! Thanks, Pro. That is very interesting. I learn so much on Wordie.
belle & sebastian
That reading was really the most painful I've had in years.
Let's talk about Belle and Sebastian, sionnach.
They are a Scottish band, whose name was inspired by the novel (and cartoon) "Belle et Sébastien". Doubly interesting.
With respect to the link that bilby provided, one wonders how the horrific animal experiments of the Mengele-like Dr Calvin Frederick were ever sanctioned by an IACUC (animal care and use committee).
Oh my God. It's true. Pro has learned all his English from Belle and Sebastian.
Now I'm going to have to look up who the hell B & S actually are, as I had always assumed they were characters from a Disney cartoon musical involving either mermaids or candelabras. But the lyrics above suggest otherwise.
A jumper could be cable-knit. But cable-knit jumper cables seem a bit impractical.
Overripe Venusian trigonometry bulbous manxieties.
"According to Maris, there have been cases of people about to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge when a police officer pulls up and says, 'Get down or I'll shoot', usually, the jumper gets down. He may want to die, but he wants to control how."

So let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging styles for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper.
