Happy Birthday Mr. Grinch!

Yes, Mr. Grinch is 40 years old! To celebrate, ABC is airing "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" tonight at 8PM. Not that this is unusual given the time of year, but I think it's important that we celebrate the animated classic and simply forget the mega-budget/live-action thing that came out a few years back. (Why does Jim Carrey insist on ruining these things?)
It is probably my love for Chuck Jones that makes me love this film so much - his faces and sarcastic lines are the best in cartoons. Then, there's the smartly-simple rhymes of Dr. Seuss, and Boris Karloff to boot! With all of that talent, how could anyone possibly hate that nasty, mean, old, arsenic-sauced Grinch?
