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

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

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

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.

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

Art Crawl!!!

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

(Another smaller hairless breed is the Chinese Crested.)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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.

I don't have a wok. And look! my cats just ruthlessly killed a giant waterbug! Good cats!

ION, hairless dogs and cats freak my shit. Always remind me of that one World's Ugliest Dog. Y'all know the one I'm talking about. The one that made you physically recoil from the screen when its pic popped up.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Fresno is kind of DeadCenterCal -- possibly technically No rather than So, unless you talk to people in places like Eureka and Ukiah, who don't even consider the Bay Area to be No.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

They grow grapes in Fresno, which is kind of a NoCally thing to do.

My cat is not hairless, but he (being a Devon Rex) has very short, curly hair. I've thought about getting a hairless cat, but I'm sorta' waiting until I live in a place where I control the heat.

Also, those Chinese Crested are cute! What are their personalities like?
