Actually, Uncle Lennie was a better uncle...I saw him a lot more often. My uncles are...not reliable, and could be called losers, at least interpersonally. Yeah. I loved it ,Cindy.

I would lie too. I would lie to my parents also.
I lie to Batman.
I am very disappointed in you people. Half a moring of cat-discussion and not one of you has copped to imbuing your pet with your own personality!
You posted this JUST to bait Hec, didn't you? I bet I can predict, almost-verbatim, what he'll say.

Probably belongs in movies, but I'm so far behind in my movie viewing that it'd be too dangerous...
Has anyone seen "A History of Violence" and if so, thumbs up or down? Looking for something to see tonight and this is the only thing at the theater we want to go to that might have broad enough appeal to the group.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A new CBS News poll hands George W. Bush the lowest approval rating he has ever received. Just 37 percent of Americans approve of the job Bush (who does not have a cat with his personality) is doing overall.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've heard good things about the movie, JenP, from everyone I know that's seen it.
Cindy -- I'm not sure about the Tai Chi. I can't separate the martial out, but I'm sure they have woo-woo classes where they make it artsy and mysterious for people who have no tolerance for martial in their art.

Oh, and Tep, with you on the FF Chinese, but as far as baseball goes, I grok about the same as Mandarin, although still more than Frasier Crane. I'm probably the only person here that thinks "That could be fun," rather than "seminal movie experience" in re Serenity,which I haven't seen yet. My cat has Pesci's personality, I think. Tony Soprano's. It's not mine, anyway.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
When my mother was a teenager, they had a horse that wanted to live in the house. My grandmother caught him halfway into the kitchen after he figured out how to open the screen door.

What we really need is a cow, and ability to pasteurize milk.
Goats are more personable, need less area and less fodder, and give just enough milk to take care of the needs of a small family. Plus you will never have to mow the grass again. Go goat, choose goat!

This makes it sound like there's "real" Tai Chi and then some fake hippy-dippy Tai Chi. I know people do practice Tai Chi as a martial art, but I think it's familiar to most of us as the slow-motion stuff... I'll just quote, shall I?
Tai Chi, as it is practiced in the west today, can perhaps best be thought of as a moving form of yoga and meditation combined.
For many practicioners the focus in doing them is not, first and foremost, martial, but as a meditative exercise for the body. For others the combat aspects of Tai Chi are of considerable interest.

What is even happening?
Cindy -- I'm not sure about the Tai Chi. I can't separate the martial out, but I'm sure they have woo-woo classes where they make it artsy and mysterious for people who have no tolerance for martial in their art.It's like an engraved invitation, for me. Seriously, I think Yoga is what I will do, when I start doing anything. I think it is probably the best bet to combat half of what ails me.

Heh. I was thinking about that when I was typing about the cow. We go through a lot of milk, though. How much is "just enough for a small family"?
