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

Heh, serves her right, Raq.
Hippo Birdies, Erika!
I have to leave if I'm going to yoga in, um, 20 minutes. I guess I'd better work on that consciousness and 'getting dressed' thing, huh?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, I've got to go to school to print out a bunch of reading, and I just don't want to! It does seem to be beautiful outside -- less humid!!! So maybe I can print out all the stuff and then go somewhere outside to read. That would be nice.
I don't wanna do work! Bah.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Happy Birthday, Erika.

Happy Birthday, Erika!
And Aimee, my thoughts are with your friend. That's so sad.

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

There would also be a "tightrope" act. Two people held a pole horizontally while Belok, who is white, walked across it, with an intent manner. A black cat named Charlie did the same thing, but upside down, grasping the pole from underneath with his four legs. Motia, who is off-white, outdid them both. She made her way across the pole from underneath using only two legs. As the cats worked, Mr. Kuklachev clucked and cooed encouragingly, rewarding them with gentle strokes of his curved palm.
...
Mr. Kuklachev did an act which would become well known as "The Cat in the Pot." A cat would sit in a pot. He would take her out, and she would keep jumping back in again.
...
The younger Mr. Kuklachev said his father trains the cats not by rewarding them with treats, as one might train a dog, but "by long, good words, touching them."
The elder Mr. Kuklachev bridled at the idea of rewarding cats with food. "A cat is not a dog," he said. "If a cat doesn't want to do something, he will not do it."

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, erikaj! Which also means Happy Centenary to Greta Garbo!
Belated Happy Birthdays, Perkins and Board!
Welcome back, ita! Great pics -- I especially liked the ones of the sun filtering through the clouds above the lake.
