Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

And The Bride Wore...

While preparing for her own wedding, a dear friend stumbled upon examples of strange, odd, and unflattering wedding accessories. She kept the strangest of the lot, and I am presenting them here, along with her comments.

OMG, is this the worst but-bow in the history of the universe? [link] It looks like two pillows.

Just one word: Cupholders!

Oddly enough, maximum fatality seems to occur from falls in the 7 story range.

I wonder how they know this, given that only the (temporarily) living victims are brought to the animal hospital. If the cat is no more, has ceased to be, has expired and gone to meet 'is maker, it doesn't go to the hospital. So it doesn't end up in the data.

Hee--the Onion has two cat-related pictures/captions, including one with a cat in uniform!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

What are people doing this weekend?

Maybe ride down to Half Moon Bay. Definitely wash my motorcycle. Hopefully spend time with M. Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm sorry the phone doesn't seem to be ringing, Tom, but please to not be wallowing.

This weekend, I need to clean like a mad woman (HOUSEGUESTS YAY), plus make a run to TJs and the grocery store and the flag store and Target and the electronics recycling place.

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

You didn't, um... cheat, did you?

Look, if you had direct access to a room full of physicists, Sean Carroll, Jennifer Ouellette, and some nobel laureates, you'd be stoked to finally have the opportunity to cheat on physics quizzes.

What are people doing this weekend?

Having lunch with a couple up from New York on Sunday, then finding someplace to watch the Pats game. Tomorrow I think I'll do sweet FA, except maybe try to finally get to HPatOotP and/or Ratatouille.

Tonight? Currently trying to figure out what I'll do for dinner, then home for Doctor Who and playing catchup with my DVR/DVDs.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Other than that, I'll be sitting around waiting for the phone to ring, and feeling sorry about myself.

This is a bad plan.

I'm going to a Braves game tonight. I'm winging the rest of the weekend.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

If the cat is no more, has ceased to be, has expired and gone to meet 'is maker, it doesn't go to the hospital. So it doesn't end up in the data.

But Animal Control gets called to clean up the splat, right? Anyway, on Animal Cops they always call up the cops/ASPCA, even if the critter is already dead.

Yes, I just muddied the statistical-counting waters with anecdotal evidence from television. What?
