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

Not sure if this has been posted - video of lame martial arts guy trying to break a board.

I made applesauce-spice muffins from scratch for breakfast! Delicious and virtuous, too!

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

and there you were, all right at petting level.
Pretty sure this was Kittenish's idea. And I was not moving except for being at petting level, so I should *obviously* be petting her. Cute for a skittish creature, now it's just indentured pettitude.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Theo, many people have told me the same since all my friends, family and co-workers got sick of the trail of tissues after about a month. I just really hate going to the doctor. But soon. I actually looked for one the other day, so that's a good first step.

House of Flying Daggers is such a pretty movie. I love just having it on in the background. Every time I look up, it's like "Beautiful" and then it's back to work.

Congratulations, Jessica and E! More savvy Buffistas, yay!

I tend not to close the bathroom door, since I live alone. I do close it when people are visiting--I figure the conversation can handle a pause. However if I'm in a restroom with a friend or coworker sometimes we'll keep talking from one stall to another.

The status is NOT quo.

My cats get annoyed if they can't walk in when I pee. Why do they want to come in when I am in the bathroom? I have no idea... But they do.

My cats are the same way! And if I push the door closed but don't latch it, they will push it open. If it's truly latched? They will paw the door and meow mournfully.

My cats are a wee bit codependent.

indentured pettitude

Bwah! I love this. That should be the subtitle of a book entitled Life with Cats.

Is this... kosher?

Orthodox Jewish prayer Barbie

A reader writes, "Jewish ritual scribe Jen Taylor Friedman has made a scholarly Barbie, complete with Tefillin, Tallit and volume of Talmud."

AION,

US bans Vegemite

The bizarre crackdown was prompted because Vegemite contains folate, which in the US can be added only to breads and cereals.

Expatriates say that enforcement of the ban has been stepped up recently and is ruining lifelong traditions of having Vegemite on toast for breakfast.

Former Geelong man Daniel Fogarty, who now lives in Calgary, Canada, said he was stunned when searched while crossing the US border recently.

"The border guard asked us if we were carrying any Vegemite," Mr Fogarty said.

Someone needs to start a movement to fight this. Men at Work can do a benefit....

I have no pee shyness. Which is good, because I also have the non-latching bathroom door and the inquisitive dog. It's not a bathroom specific thing with her - she just can't bear to be left on the outside of a closed door.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well, that Barbie's not quite "Orthodox" -- pretty much all of the accessories are only worn by Orthodox men, not women.

I am totally cracking up at it, though.

US bans Vegemite

An Australian on a list I subscribe to said (mostly jokingly) that this could provoke war between the U .S. and Australia. Just how popular is vegamite in Australia anyway?
