Sorry, the constructer brother is already happily married...
It's OK. I meant the costume! Though, getting up and down for the transformation would be hard on the knees these days.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Dog, Cat Honored for Saving Masters
NEW YORK - When Debbie Parkhurst choked on a piece of apple at her Maryland home, her dog jumped in, landing hard on her chest and forcing the morsel to pop out of her throat. When the Keesling family of Indiana was about to be overcome by carbon monoxide, their cat clawed at wife Cathy's hair until she woke up and called for help.
For their nick-of-time acts, Toby, a 2 1/2-year-old golden retriever, and Winnie, a gray-eyed American shorthair, were named Dog and Cat of the Year by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
In addition, five humans were honored Thursday for their actions toward animals in the past year, including a Bronx firefighter who saved a dog and cat from a burning building.
Neither Parkhurst nor Keesling could explain their pets' timely heroics, though Parkhurst suggested her pooch's Heimlich maneuver might have been guided by divine intervention.
I dunno - it seems possible to me that the dog might save the chocking person by jumping on her without divine intervention. After all, we never hear about all the choking people whose dogs, say, licked their faces or begged to be taken for walkies rather than actually saving the choking person....

Cute transformer kid! LOVE!
Sigh. I have work today and I'm remarkably unmotivated to do so.

heh. Well, you know, my brother is pretty much up for any gig that gets him to make stuff AND get paid. The whore. The clever, sneaky, moneymaker. I envy his entrepr...shit, I forgot how to spell that. -ism. Plus, fact is, if it is for his kids? Yeah, he knocks it out of the park. For a purported unsentimental badass, he is pretty much a softy.

Not in detail. But I made a new friend, and now have a place to crash next time I pass through Cincinnati.

Are we sure he'd put me back together?
Of course he would! You'd just have an extra chip that is linked to the mind control satellite. You know, the usual.

No chance he'd keep anything small? Like a toe? Just for fun or possibly cloning?

ChiKat, I think you're right -- we're not going to get two of Column A in one episode. And Sally Field is too busy torturing other TV children to show up and fill this season's manic slot.
