I'm statistically less likely to die of hanta virus because the presence of cat keeps the vermin away.

I think your cat is trying to smother you in your sleep in order to eat your spleen for breakfast. It's literally pushing a pillow onto your face and quite efficiently taking a nap at the same time. You have to admire the combination of laziness and lethality.

My kitties are smart enough to realize that if I die, the Huge Human Shaped Electric Blanket loses its power.

Besides...spleen? Liver is MUCH tastier. And mine might taste like lime and vodka!

Yeah, because cats are renowned for their long term strategizing.

Besides...spleen? Liver is MUCH tastier. And mine might taste like lime and vodka!

Now see, you're just encouraging them. Don't be surprised to find they've dragged a wok onto your head pillow tonight, and filled it with cat litter and shoes.

Haven't had a chance to watch this yet...

Sundance 2007: Short Blasts: Sesame Street Is Gay

No sex, no on-screen violence, and only the suggestion of illicit drugs, yet Bertram and Ernest (Sundance 2002) landed itself in the age-restricted area at YouTube. Why? Queer Muppets. Middle America's just not ready for them. The film's a bit talky, but has some great little touches, like the Spartacus poster in the background. I also love that its sponsored by the letter Y. You'll see.

Oh no! HDTV is ruining porn!

High-definition video is embarrassing porn stars. Problems: razor burn, cellulite, wrinkles, pimples, visible veins, fake boobs. Remedies tried so far: diets, exercise, makeup, tanning spray, grooming assistance, cosmetic surgery, softening lights, changing sex positions, and airbrushing. Directors' attitude: HD is cool. Actresses' complaints: 1) The men in the industry are "willing to sacrifice our vanity and imperfections to beat each other" to HD. 2) "I'm having my breasts redone because of HD."

Apparently Isaiah Washington just fired his publicist. Yeah, because that's where the problem lies.

Almost-but-not-quite-went-extinct hairless dogs!

LIMA, Peru - His eyes gleaming with joy underneath a natural yellow mohawk, Josh the Peruvian Hairless Dog heads out to greet tourists at Lima’s Pucllana ruins.

About the size of an English pointer, Josh and his kin are not guard dogs, instead they are guarded behind the walls of this and other historic monuments on the Peruvian coast — the hairless hound’s habitat for more than 3,000 years.

They are part of the historic scenery here, but the canine breed almost became history several years back.

“Now we can say they are safe, saved by this project, but a few years ago the Peruvian Hairless Dog was under threat of extinction in Peru,” said Pedro Vargas, coordinator of the Huaca Pucllana archeological project excavating an ancient temple site of the Lima civilization dating back to 500.

The breed normally has hair resembling a mohawk on the head and a tail brush, but otherwise has naked dark, very warm skin.

Apparently Isaiah Washington just fired his publicist. Yeah, because that's where the problem lies.

The apology he released to the press sounded like it was written by a marketing committee on diversity.

Is Fresno NoCal or SoCal?

Will you get a hairless dog to match your hairless cat?

(Another smaller hairless breed is the Chinese Crested.)
