This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

AND, one of the neighbor dogs is able to get into our backyard, but can't get from our yard back to his. Is it wrong to put Roman outside and let Roman (part aussie shepherd) run the dog (which is part cocker spaniel) into the ground? I wonder when the owners will come knocking on our door having noticed that one of their 4 dogs is missing?

It would probably be fun for them! And then everyone would have tired dogs and that's a good thing. right?

Fun for them or some dog not named Roman might get bit.... I'm irked that there is a non-Roman dog in my yard.

Relatedly, it makes me sad that my actual cat doesn't get it when I say to him, "OH HAI." Or "O RLY?"

I will admit that I often do the xkcd-inspired "\o/ YOU'RE A KITTY!" at my roommate's cat.

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

Did you let Roman demarcate his territory when you moved in?

Art Crawl!!!

I guess the silver lining is that if the dog could get back into his own yard, Roman could get out of your's.

Tom, yes. Many, many, many times.

sumi, Roman, if he wanted to, could easily hop into their yard. He has quite a jump! [link] Roman and Noah.

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

Oh gawd - there's a new weird sex fetish site out there. I'm not even going to link to it. Instead I'm going to link to this blog post about it:

Introducing... EROTIC FALCONRY!!! (this link boarderline SFW, the actual site is NSFW.)

Erotic Falconry is disturbingly, wonderfully, real (we think... hope?). Their mission statement as stated on EroticFalconry.com: "Our goal is to show others what turns us on so that they can see the natural sexual ferocity of our feathered friends."

Since I didn't go to the actual site, dunno if it's "real" or not....
