Ann, that's a ferret.

Question for the hivemind --

There's a '70s movie with a running gag in which a character (the lead character's brother-in-law) is constantly calling his office to let them know where he can be reached. Usually along the lines of, "I'm at xxx-xxxx until 4:00. Then I'll be at yyy-yyyy for about 10 minutes, and then at zzz-zzzz until 9:00." And so on.

Which movie is that from? Is it Annie Hall?

That's how I'm feeling with the vet hospital right now. Because between the 2 of us, Hubs and I have 6 phone numbers. None of which is good 24 hours a day.

And I'd vote for Perry Como as our lord and savior.

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

It can be a problem. One of my neighbors spent 700 bucks on an astral projection class. Another stopped taking her medication for Lyme because she believed she could cure it with meditation and raw bison liver...and then ended up in the emergency room and can hardly walk.

I don't know what to do with shit like that. I pretty much walk away, shaking my head.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If we suddenly end up living in a SPN-type world, I just need to find the people who can fire shotguns. I can be their go-to person for spooky research.

We had that conversation yesterday.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I believe in ghosts that come with Winchesters chasing them.

Well who isn't going to come with Winchesters chasing them, really?

It's the one that takes place in SF. Play It Again Sam maybe?

Excellent! Who am I supposed to be partnered with?

Allyson, I'm pretty much the poster girl for spooky beliefs, and I would shake my head and walk away in those cases, too.

Great book fodder, though.

Not me. Possibly Nutty or Ginger.

With Nutty you'd get shotguns *and* research, so I can see the advantages. Plus, handy if you ever encounter a cheetah.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well, a cheetah under certain limited circumstances. You might want an all-around cheetah fighter as backup.

This set of pictures of a Russian family that lives with a bobcat seems like it's been around before: [link] But I don't recall seeing it before. (Slightly NSFW). I find it hard to look at these pictures and not make fun of them. Look at my bobcat with cat! Look at my bobcat with shark! Look at my bobcat with shirtless Russian! Bobcat kill chicken!

Eeeeee! Giant fierce kitty as housepet! I want one!

(If you listen closely, you can hear Pete shaking his head. He's been telling me I can't have a pet ocelot for years now.)
