Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My problem with the you can go anywhere type if park is the damage to the land from people being stupid as they wander, or there just being too many of them, not the danger.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Does anyone get cat-scratch fever anymore?

My dad was hospitalizied with a bone infection from getting badly scratched by a cat. The nurses said it was a type of cat scratch fever.

What is even happening?

Oddly enough, I've had this conversation before, Frank. It may have just been spit. But they're ruminants (is that the right word) and so there is cud they've brought back up, in their spit. It's not just a saliva issue.

Ann, that's a ferret.

And Teddy was quite feisty in his younger days.

He even got Hubs in the eye once. Don't remember the year, but it was the day of the ACC Men's Basketball Tournament Final.

Does anyone get cat-scratch fever anymore?

I knew a guy who was diagnosed with it about ten years ago. I didn't think it was real, but that's what he had. After being scratched by a cat and not cleaning out the wound well. Go figure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(Does anyone get cat-scratch fever anymore?)

Yep. A few years ago, my aunt ended up in the hospital on IV antibiotics for weeks with cat-scratch fever. I shit you not. That was a little more than a "scratch," though -- the cat left bits of tooth and claw in my aunt.

information libertarian

I once had a heartbreaking Reference question in which the patron wanted to prove to some doctors that her friend didn't have some very aggressive and almost always fatal kind of breast cancer, but rather had cat scratch fever. The diseases are not that similar, according to all information I could find.

Heh. Did you hear the icky story on CNN this week about Mount McKinley? Apparently it's so clogged up with years of climbers' poop that it's becoming a health hazard.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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

They should just close it off and rename it Poo Mountain.
