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

Is that really an optical illusion? I mean, it doesn't strictly seem like that--more like FX.

Umm, if you rotate the picture it's FX, but if you turn your head 90 degrees instead, it's an optical illusion? I dunno....

eta: Wait, pictures that look like something else when you turn them upside down are considered optical illusions, so I'm gonna stick with that....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Mike Huckabee is in favor of repealing the Laws of Thermodynamics:

I think we ought to be out there talking about ways to reduce energy consumption and waste. And we ought to declare that we will be free of energy consumption in this country within a decade, bold as that is.

Heh. Or maybe when he says "we will be free of energy consumption in this country," he means that we will all be dead.

So I wake up, think red sky at morning, sailors take warning and promptly go back to sleep. Ahrg. Cartoony scramble to get ready and I'm not that late. I'm amazed at my ability to come up with reasons that I really don't need to get up when the alarm goes off. (the light was really red this morning.)

Maybe your subconscious is telling you that you should be a sailor, sara.

A sailor that takes warning more than she takes delight? Maybe her subconscious is tell her, "I want to be a sailor, but it's probably not worth the trouble. Never mind. What's for breakfast?"

I used to sail! Actually, I know what my subconscious is telling me: don't wanna get up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Punishingly Intricate

I was up at 5 because the dog got up and I tried to see if he'd just go back to sleep but the big cat kept rubbing against him and blocking his path to his sleepin' chair and so I had to get up and take him outside. Which these days involves carrying him downstairs. Then he decided to eat all his food when he came back in and I had to wait for him to come back upstairs (if I left him down while I went back to sleep he'd pace around downstairs all confused about where I was). poor old elderly dog...but dag I'm tired.

hip deep in pie

Somehow, though, Hef came across as very sexless.

ITA. He often seems a bit doddering, and a little bemused by what his girls get up to.

Hey, there's a wikipedia entry on the girls next door: [link]
