Sparky, I'm taking over the downstairs at Polly Sue's, which has been there for years and years. But if you'd like to mention me, I'd really appreciate it! I officially open March 1, and I'll have women's and girls' clothes, along with vintage photos and art.
Kaylee: Can I? Zoe: Sure. He's out, though. Kaylee: He did this for me, once.

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 was doing research for another post a while back, and found something a bit…unusual. It was an old Japanese scroll about farting.
No, you didn’t misread that last sentence. The whole scroll, which is called He-Gassen (“The Fart Battle”) is just about people farting. Farting at other people, farting at cats, farting off of horses, farting into bags; just farting everywhere.
eta: Oops. Kinda NSFW because of naked butts.

day off!
I slept in till 8 and made scrambled eggs with bacon and now I'm sitting on my porch in the sunlight for the first time all year--it's probably over 70 already.
The joys of a well-stocked larder: I made a pot of tea and then I had no milk, and the shops nearby don't open until 9 (I think). So I found an old package of dry milk and mixed some up. I won't drink it, but it's okay for tea.

Some lawmakers are actually siding with misguided parents on this front. USA Today reported last week that seven states are considering comprehensive opt-out laws.
ARGH. Hulk SMASH.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think I have figured out that the group in "some lawmakers" want to KILL us.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So if I'm following the legislative logic here...what we really need is a vaccine that's administered vaginally. Because then it could be legally mandated.

This might have been posted a long time ago. But since it's Friday, here's a video of Alcoholic Monkeys Stealing Cocktails from Caribbean Beach-Goers
In 2009, the BBC television show Weird Nature went to the West Indies island named St. Kitts to film vervet monkeys snatching cocktails from beach-goers and then proceeding to get drunk. According to the clip, the monkeys were brought from West Africa 300 years ago with the rum-making slaves and they acquired a taste for alcohol from eating the rum’s leftover fermented sugar cane. The footage was produced and directed by award-winning media company, John Downer Productions.
Drunken monkeys!
What's interesting is the percentage of monkeys who are teetotalers and alcoholics match match human percentages.
