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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Crap, must watch WaT before succumbing to the whitefont. Must cue immediately.

If I only had a brain...

Actually, it's logically invalid.

I think => I am

is NOT the same as

I think not => I am not. That's a logical fallacy.

I think => I am

is the same as

I am not => I think not.

But the joke is a fallacy.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Spending a quiet Friday night at home. Just me, G and the cat.(Wasn't that a song in the '70s?)

Is the cat named "Blue

Am now earwormed with " Me and You and a Cat Named Blue"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Uh, it was a dog named blue.

I thought it was Boo.

ETA: Google tells me I'm right, but I won't link, because those song lyric sites scare me.

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

I thought it was Boo.

Uh-huh.

When I was a kid, my parents bought a '73 Mercury Marquis Brougham that had a five-speaker 8-track tape player. It came with a Ford Family of Fine Music 8-track tape that had the Boo song. So I do associate that song with traveling, but not with living off the land.

You're right. But it's still a dog.

Always Anti-fascist!

There's cats in CSN(and sometimes Y, yuk, yuk) "Our House" has two cats in the yard.

How the Death Star works

...and...

When a small group of Rebels infiltrated the first Death Star to rescue Princess Leia, they avoided capture by hiding in a conveniently located trash compactor on the detention level. Over the years many questions have been raised about that trash compactor. Why was the trash compactor there? What was that creature in there and how did it get in there in the first place? All of these questions and more are addressed in Joshua Tyree's insightful essay, On the Implausibility of the Death Star's Trash Compactor.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Speaking of Death Stars, I recently procured a Death Star Pez.

The person keeping house with Graham Nash in that CSN song, incidentally, was Joni Mitchell.
