Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think Kat knows everyone's hoods. She gets around LA.

Cool! The last one looks totally like something out of Sci-Fi.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Years ago we had a discussion on kangaroos and their tendency to drown dogs.

Kangaroo tries to drown dog, attacks owner

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -- A kangaroo startled by a man walking his dog attacked the pair, pinning the pet underwater and slashing the owner in the abdomen with its hind legs.

The Australian, Chris Rickard, was in stable condition Monday after the attack, which ended when the 49-year-old elbowed the kangaroo in the throat. He said he was walking his blue heeler, Rocky, on Sunday morning when they surprised a sleeping kangaroo in Arthur's Creek northeast of Melbourne. The dog chased the animal into a pond, when the kangaroo turned and pinned the pet underwater.

When Rickard tried to pull his dog free, the kangaroo turned on him, attacking with its hind legs and tearing a deep gash into his abdomen and across his face.

"I thought I might take a hit or two dragging the dog out from under his grip, but I didn't expect him to actually attack me," Rickard, 49, told The Herald Sun newspaper. "It was a shock at the start because it was a kangaroo, about 5 feet high, they don't go around killing people."

Kangaroos rarely attack people but will fight if they feel threatened.

Dogs often chase kangaroos, which have been known to lead the pets into water and defend themselves there.

Wow! Thanks for that link, Gud, those are really something to see. We are so living in the future.

The comments on that article are predictably cracktastic. The movie 2012 gets mentioned more than I'd have thought, though.

I will continue to pretend that there are no comments.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I spent 2 hours at lunch shopping and ended up with 1 skirt. Finding pants that fit is like a nightmare. And I had not seen myself in 3-paned dressing room mirrors for like a long time and now I will go cry.

And the lunch I bought on the way back is meh.

HATE!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford faces ethics charges he broke state laws more than three dozen times by violating rules on airplane travel and campaign money, according to details of the allegations released Monday.

It's up to the state attorney general to decide whether to file criminal charges. Sanford's lawyers have claimed the allegations involve minor and technical aspects of the law.

...A series of Associated Press investigations into his travel showed the governor had for years used state airplanes for political and personal trips, flown in pricey commercial airline seats despite a low-cost travel requirement and failed to disclose trips on planes owned by friends and donors.

Seriously, South Carolina, quit harping on the technicalities like "law-breaking".
