So it's a been a big news week at Chez Zmayhem as (a) Emmett has decided to play high school baseball this year after all; and (b) we're getting the car fixed after four months of it sitting under a tree in one of the only places in San Francisco where you can leave your car under a tree and it won't get towed away.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

re: cat collars
The only punishment that ever made an impact on Mouse was to take his collar and its bells away. Those bells were part of his voice. He could tip-toe through the house without making a sound, but sometimes he wanted to make a statement, so he jingled his bells. He got into an awful snit when another cat got a bell, so we had to take it off so Mouse was the only belled cat.
Shadow will use his bells to yell at us. Well, at me, because I'm very bad at understanding Cat. He'll stare at me for a couple of minutes, then shake his bell to get my attention.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Maybe I can start wearing all grey!
This is my plan.
Except I have one black and one white cat.
It's not a good plan here.

If there's been an epidemic of women kicking innocent men in the balls, I've missed it.
There was actually an epidemic of that in British Columbia a couple years back, but as I recall there was just one woman behind it.

I could be a penguin!
Except they kinda smell. I don't want to smell.
I'd be really cute though.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, ouch, small children and their concepts of death:
As I was showing Matilda Whitney Houston's "I Want To Dance With Somebody" --
Matilda: When did that girl die?
Me: Just today.
Matilda: Ohhhh! That must have been a rough day for her.
