Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That woman is a twit.

However, I still get confused by the no t-shirt rule. Does this mean one can only wear button downs, or are "dressy" t-shirts OK?

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

On the other hand, I like to express myself by taking two and a half hour lunches every day. My generation was taught that its part of who we are to go to the gym, have a nice salad with some friends, and maybe look at some shoes.

True. And if someone says something negative about your lunches, they are saying something negative about you.

Happy anniversaries!!

I've pet a shark.

That's all I have.

I caught a shark when I was fishing off Bar Harbor back in high school. It was a little-bitty guy (about 18 inches long) but reeling in the line expecting to see a cod or mackeral and then seeing this head with all these teeth coming out of the water was a biiiig surprise!

So if you didn't care for your lunch, does that make you self-loathing?

Only if your lunch was 2 1/2 hours. Because if you have that much time and still fail to find a good lunch....

Live web trafficcam showing the collapsed bridge. Hmm... I wonder if the feed was being recorded anywhere....

ION I just read a post on another board where someone realized who John Hodgman on The Daily Show reminds them of: Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.

OMG, they are SO right! Especially since he made Beaker sounding noises during his last appearence.

Speak of the devil - live security-cam footage of bridge collapse. Looks like one picture every 1/2 or 1 second....

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

It's getting long enough that I'm losing my curl, man.

A round of haircuts for my friends.

Oy, Emmett's got five baseball games in the next four days. That's a lot of time at the fields. Tournament final in San Ramon tonight. We're overdue for a tourney win. I hope we can pull one out tonight.

But right now he's watching a South Park episode with little goth kids.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

That first outfit wouldn't be bad with a jacket and heels. I would think it would be fine for a casual Friday, but then, I'm in Texas.

Still. I don't think I'd argue it in quite that self entitled way.

Dress codes are a bit of a thing for me anyway. I have a craxy feminist theory that they are often used to bully women.
