Trust my rage

Timelies! I just got back from walking three miles in the cold with the dogs. I had hoped they would be tired after this.

Instead, Toby is wagging his tail loudly against the door and barking at me while looking in the general direction of where his bones are stored. I've explained that the bones for treats for evenings, but he doesn't seem to accept that.

ETA: I put him in his kennel, with the door closed, but not locked, just to distract him from the bones for a minute. When I went in there just now, he had opened the door, but was still sitting inside with his paws just barely sticking out. I'm convinced this is his way of saying "I could leave if I wanted to, but I really *want* to be in here."

All is well that ends in pizza.

CHRIST ON A FUCKING STICK

Much different than a pogo stick.

Also? P-C is RIPPING OFF RIO!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

P-C is RIPPING OFF RIO!

Heh. I had the same thought, that anyone who skimmed would think Rio had paid a visit. But I wasn't ripping off Rio, really. I was actually SCREAMING IN ASSCAPS.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Both KristinT and Hec owe me royalties for their LJ icons.

My car is demonstrably non-snowbound!

Not being a fool, I immediately put it back in the space. There's nothing like a car to hold your car space on the street, I find.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Tom! I will pay you royalties only if I get to see you on the 14th. You're coming out with us, right?

Edit: Also, I'm with Theo on the "Yay, balmy!" It is 34 degrees today! Things are MELTING! And yes, that utterly deserves ASSCAPS.

Edit#2: Tom, are you on LJ? I would love to friend you if so. Send me your LJ nickname.

Nope, not on LJ.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Are there super model animals too? Or would that just be silly?

Click and Clack are talking about the east coast snowstorm on Car Talk.

heh.

Ray's wife (on phone): Ray, you're an idiot!

ETA: oops, thought I was in bitches. Oh well.

What is even happening?

*whimper* Please don't say the name of the dreaded monster... Nobody staged an intervention for me. LEVEL 15 PEOPLE. I NEED HELP.
Level 18, Alibelle, with eyes that are almost 38 years old. I get the intervention first, ya hear?

P-C, you're completely wrong headed about Cat Stacking. It *is* like Tetris. What it is not, is *identical* to Tetris. It is like it, in the sense that Tetris and Cat Stacking share certain characteristics. They are both computer games. They both involve positioning falling items, such that when done correctly, they clear off of the playing field. What's more--a player can lose the game, if he or she incorrectly positions the falling items. They do differ from one another in certain ways: Cat Stacking involves falling cats, and these cats fall in pairs, and you can leave one cat on one pile, and let its match fall lower, whereas Tetris involves falling rectangles which are completely inseparable. Furthermore, in Tetris, you can clear off a whole row with one move. This option is not available in Cat Stacking.

Still, they are, to an extent, like one another, for senses of the word like that do not imply the objection in comparison are identical one to the other.

What's an animal model, again?
