Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Is ahold a word?
If it isn't, and we get all the publishy Buffistas to use it in their publishy goods, we can send off all of the instances to erinaceous and MAKE IT A WORD.
Such is our power.
Such is the way of Buffistas.
Amen.

I think I want to marry Keith O. I am sending that link to everyone in my family. Everyone in America should watch that. Everyone who watches Fox News should have to watch that. Everyone who works for FOX news should have to watch it on repeat.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You know, Sean, even when they fluff up their fur they are quite a bit smaller than you.
Not Ozzie.
This is where having more than one cat comes in handy.
Not Ozzie and Perkins the cat. Whenever PtC thinks Ozzie is in trouble/flipping out, he'll take the opportunity to attack him, which can lead to Ozzie being hurt, which will lead to his flip outs lasting for days.

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.
Timelies,
All these freaked-out cat attack stories are giving me the wiggins. My parents have had owned over half-a-dozen cats in my life and none of them have ever attacked anyone. Playful pouncing, yes, but no intentional drawing of blood outside of the things cats normally scratch people over (bathing, cleaning ears, trying to clip claws, etc)
Can it be 6pm yet? Ugh. I just want to go home. One of our major systems have been having printing problems all week and I'm so sick of dealing with it. They're supposed to be upgrading the servers to fix the problem tonight.

Pretty interesting, but I'm pretty skeptical about Popular Science
