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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Eeeee! Have internet and it is fast-y. Have new computer and the Windows XP wingdings are excessive and irritating. (I keep clicking on options that say "revert to the old style of things" as if the designers knew the new version was ugly.) Have lots of downloading to do to get this puppy into proper working order.

Also, have not yet resolved the issue of Old Box, Has Stuff On It, How to Get Stuff Off It? The answer may be: port-to-port cable.

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

Does the old box have an ethernet port on it? If so, all you need is a crossover cable. I have one, if you want to borrow. I also have a spare ethernet card if you need it.

Yay new computer!

I'm surfing on my neighbor's wireless, since my wireless has decided not to work this morning. No idea why: it worked fine yesterday.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It's been conspiring with mine. The router crashes any time I try to talk to it directly (rather than through it to the outside world)

Happy Birthday, Erika!

Are they sure the guy training those cats isn't using some sort of mind control device?
