Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

hip deep in pie

I dreamt that I saw a coyote on a front lawn in my neighborhood. I blame it on Liese's sighting yesterday.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think I dreamed about cloverleaf ramps onto the highway and trying to get on it in snowy conditions. Not the most dramatic of dreams.

That is awesome.

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

I consider it my duty to keep you all abreast of the latest internet memes. So with that in mind, I bring you Cat Breading

This is why the Internet exists. The long march of human progress has finally ended; we have reached our destination. Rest and rejoice in our accomplishments. Then:

1) Take a piece of bread

2) Cut a hole approximately 1 inch larger than your cat’s head. This trips some people up. Remember: the bread has to fit around not just the cat’s head, but it’s ears, too.
3) Gently place the bread around your cat’s head.
4) Take a picture & post it! We love Cat Breading!

You're welcome!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Cat Breading

The cat is giving me that look that says, "WHAT? WHY ARE YOU MEASURING MY HEAD WITH YOUR EYES, MONKEY?"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Didn't Colbert say he was investing all of the leftover SuperPAC money in breadedcats.com?

If I tried that with either of the cats, I would end up maimed.

ION -- Washing Machine Update: it works fine. Don't know what he "fixed," don't know why he's saying we need a new machine (though it *is* pretty old), don't know if I should fear that it's going to gain sentience and band together with the coffeemaker to rule the household. All I know is that I did 2 loads of laundry this morning and nothing burst into flame or a tidal wave.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I could see Noodle letting us do that, while murderating us with her eyes - then taking off through the house, leaving bread crumbs everywhere. Meanwhile, Miss Kitty will assume a superior than thou pose, shaking her head at the poor gullible black cat.

Because books.

Cortez would probably let me do it, and look pained and indignant the whole time. Switch would take my hand off.

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

I can't believe there's leftover SuperPAC money. What has he been doing? It's like he's not even trying.

Gawker is taking credit for blowing up the breaded cats last week, but I'm loathe at this point to give Gawker.com more credit than being yesterday's Moylan sperm.

And yet! Still reading! So, joke's on me.

Has anyone ever heard of NetProspex? They somehow got my work email address, and have "report spam" links, but their very business model seems to be spam (get your email address from someone who has you in their contacts, supposedly legitimately, and then go to you for more details. However, when I search their database directly, my name gives no hits, and searching on my company name doesn't show me either (and it does show my old boss, so it's not like it's a *good* resource).

I don't want to reply and verify myself, if they're shady, but if they're a little less shady, that way I won't get any more emails from them.
