Be like the bluebird

If you live in Seattle, you might remember the little ol’ lady from Ballard who dug in her heels when developers came a-knockin’. Having lived in the same house for nearly her whole life, Edith Macefield refused to sell, and development continued on around her home, leaving her the only house on a block of concrete. Clearly, Pete Docter stole this story for his movie “Up,” which I hear is pretty crappy anyway.

While Carl Fredricksen was based on the real-life Edith Macefield, Wilderness Scout Russell has no real-world counterpart other than the countless chubby annoying Asian kids I know.

If you don’t believe me, check out the image I found on Digg today called “Here’s UP in Real Life”…

Way better than Dan in real life.
