"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

Matt -- I thought you were supposed to hang them like a painting?

That's one option, but they also come with collapsible stands. And hanging on the wall would halve my effective "wall space" for the surrounding shelves of videotapes, as I now have the TV on a corner stand and the shelves arranged in an L shape to either side of it. I went with the precarious spacesaver option.

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

Have there been corresponding thefts of Klimt paintings?

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

BERLIN - A German man who went on holiday left his stereo and lights on so that his pet hamster would not feel lonely in the empty apartment, a police spokesman said on Monday after breaking into it over fears the man may have died.

The spokesman for police in Bremen said police broke open the door after being alerted by neighbors that loud music was playing non-stop for five days and the lights were left on. No one answered the door when they knocked, police said.

“There was a fear the occupant might have been disabled or dead,” a police spokesman said. “All we found was a pet hamster. The occupant was away on holiday. A friend of his arrived and said he left the music on so the hamster wouldn’t feel lonely.”

The spokesman said the friend of the occupant, who is still on holiday and not reachable, told police she visited every few days to feed the golden hamster food and provide water. She promised to turn the music down and come by more often.

The music was left blaring for five days straight? Someone must be made to suffer.

I guess some people just don't take other people into considereation at all....

If I only had a brain...

Yes, but at least the hamster didn't suffer.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

And I know I'll be odd girl out here, but I like Torrid. It's kinda fun.

I love Torrid -- I'm just sad that their spring line has the overall theme of Bright Ugliness (or, perhaps, Ugly Brightness).

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Raise your hand if you think Aimee should bring me a cookie to make up for it.

If Aimee had cookies, she would bring. Alas, no cookies. However.....

I just wanted to share that you can order cookies directly if you do not have a source 1-800 33-MINTS!

Well it depends on what kind of music was played....

And now we return to.... Music for Hamsters, by Brian Eno....

Quick, someone find all those old 'muskrat' posts and replace every 'muskrat' with 'hamster'....
