Outlanders!

King Corn is a great documentary.

It was almost nostalgic. I was sympathizing with the city kids and their cluelessness, until I realized, wait a second, I've actually grown corn! My family had a plot in our backyard through much of the time I was in elementary school. We grew corn, green beans, butter peas, tomatoes, squash, and cucumbers. Holy shit, I'm a freakin' farmer! I had totally forgotten!

I was attacked by our cat, once, as it was hiding in the corn and pounced on my foot as I walked by. A few months later it was hit by a car and my parents lied to us about it, saying it ran away. I never trusted them again.
