Hey Lori, what's this about a new role? I musta missed something.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

I just played my first game of this Scrabulous of which you all speak. Got my ass kicked, but by a nice enough person. Problem is, I play Scrabble slowly, and the timer stresses me out, man. I doubt I could play a decent game in less than fifteen minutes. But still - online Scrabble! Fun!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In a zoo in California , a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth.
The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression.
The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve. After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother.
The veter inarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only orphans" that could be found quickly, were a litter of weaner pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger.
Check out the pictures.

Real pictures, false story
The pictures alone made me laugh.
And all it took was the cruel manipulation of tigers and pigs for several generations.

First time I saw that, my question was "where did they get the tiger skin? did they butcher those poor dead cubs for the piggies?"
