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

Birthday happies for Sean K!!!

My current despised made-up word is "veepstakes".

What's a good made-up word for despised made-up words?

There was a monster in the walls that growled so loud the frames on my wall rattled and I'd cower under the covers.

Later I discovered the true source: it was my dad snoring in the room next door.

Houston, we have a problem: Space Station Toilet Broken: It's The Only One

Factoid: [link] 23% of USAians claim to have personally seen a ghost. 5% of USAians claim to have personally seen the monster in the closet. As to the latter statistic, I wonder what percent of USAians, when given the opportunity, screw with pollsters.

Some other related questions:

What percentage of USians have a primitive and superstitious understanding of the world?

What percentage of USians are bug fuck crazy?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Space Station Toilet Broken: It's The Only One

Happy birthday Sean!

In other news, Tom made cherry clafoutis last night, and it was YUM. FTR, he pitted the cherries.

We were inspired by a recent Alton Brown episode about baking in Dutch ovens.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You can make a clafoutis in a dutch oven? I will totally have to do that!! I love using my dutch oven!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I've never made a clafouti, was it hard?

FTR no monsters last night.
