But is it recent or really old?
The spate seems recent, including when I saw it on LJ. I'm not sure what the source is. Dana probably knows. She knows things.

Dick Cheney is just wrong.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

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

It's from about a week ago. Ancient in fannish terms!
It was also linked in metafandom, or the discussion that spawned it was.
The Daily Mail is the unthinkiest linkiest paper. I could click around their right hand navigation photos forever, and I don't know a third of those people. But I'm coming up to speed.
Yeah, no shit.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Too cruel?

It's from Fanlore.

Oh, good. I thought it was from, like, a year ago or something. I'm glad I'm not TOO behind the curve.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Me-OW! Cat survives outage-causing run-in
CARROLLTON, Ill. - A cat went from meow to ow when officials say it accidentally made contact with a substation's fuse, causing an outage to about 1,500 homes and businesses in southwestern Illinois.
The feline apparently survived the encounter early Monday in the Greene County city of Carrollton.
Workers responding to the outage found the cat still on the ground several feet from where it apparently touched the fuse. An Ameren spokeswoman says the animal eventually managed to get up and walk away.
Most of the affected Ameren customers had their power restored within hours.

I hope the cat gets superpowers out of it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
But perhaps this is just a testament to the fact that I eat out too much.
Well, no more Alessio! Next time you are around here you should try Lum-Ka-Naad or Village Tandoor.
Did I read someone say they can't make pasta on a weeknight? I feel guilty for how much I make, because that is practically the easiest thing to cook ever.
Tonight I feel I should get rid of all my fresh veggies before leaving town, so I think it's a grilled corn/steamed spinach/plum tomato salsa night.

Yeah, but she means make it. Like, from flour and stuff.

Well, it was Vortex who said she doesn't do it. I'm surprised she cooks anything on a weeknight, with the amount of detail she goes into. I just toss some stuff into a pot and leave it alone for a while. That's not how she rolls.
