flea, those are neat pictures. I can see you in your daughter very clearly from you baby pictures. My brother and SIL look enough alike, that all of Dom's baby pictures look like BOTH his parents' baby pictures. It's kind of funny. Except when I get mistaken for his wife and PJ for his sister. OK, I find that funny if EW, my SIL NSM.
My food is problematic.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Ooh, slut!
Today is just going right for me. The peregrine falcon has put in an appearance at my window too. Huzzah!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have daiquiri ice. That makes me happy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm in love with Alton's Maw-may.

Me, too. I would love some of her biscuits right now, too.

Your tag here.
There's a program on Discovery Channel called Top Gear. It's about sports cars but they also do fun stuff with really crappy cars. They had this competition and one of the tests was to drive their three cars into a brick wall at 30 mph. It was hillarious! I was thinking "OMG, they can't be serious!?"
On reflection, I anticipate lawsuits from copycatters.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Actually, I think it was the flea!mom that did that, because flea and Nutty and Casper all look so much alike.

move out and draw fire
For now, the Jerk-O-Meter is set up to monitor the user's end of the conversation. If his attention is straying, a message pops up on the phone that warns, "Don't be a jerk!" or "Be a little nicer now." A score closer to 100 percent would prompt, "Wow, you're a smooth talker."
And life starts to imitate computer games.
However, the Jerk-O-Meter also could be set up to test the voice on the other end of the line. Then it could send the tester such reports as: "This person is acting like a jerk. Do you want to hang up?"
Um, usually I can figure this out for myself.
If this gets implemented, hopefully it will be optional. The tons and tons of phone calls we fielded here over the weekend would all have pegged the "Jerk" scale, as everyone was very tense and businesslike about the plane crash. And it wouldn't work cross-culturally; a pleasant chat between two Greek friends sounds like a shouting match to Americans.
Speaking of, I just had one of these shouting matches with my landlord. Someone has been putting meat out for the Feral Cat Clan (FCC) in the front walkway. Meat chunks, like from the butcher. So not only are there big ugly bones everywhere and begging cats constantly underfood, the grease from the meat soaked into the marble walk and steps, making them extra slippery (and it doesn't come out of marble).
The landlord accused me of putting the food out, so we got into it. We started in German, as usual, but then I discovered I'm losing my German in favor of Greek, so it went something like:
"Ich gab den Katzen τίποτα...shit!"
"Δεν habe στις γάτες τίποτα gegeben...shit!"
"Ich έδωσα στις Katzen nichts gegeben...shit!"
"IT WASN'T ME!!!"
