I don't think Ed's gonna go for that...
No, but I'd love to see a YouTube of somebody trying.

So sorry about your kitties, Sue & GC.
Frank the dog seems to be doing a little better (as of this morning anyway). He ate some chicken at least. His bloodwork didn't turn up anything obvious which is both a relief and frustrating.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
So sorry about Pico.
I have absolutely no Native American ancestry.
In fourth grade, we went on a field trip to Waterloo Village, which, in addition to a bunch of other stuff, had a small model of a Leni Lenape village. There were also the Ramapough, but it's kind of disputed whether they're actually Native American.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Teeny-Weeny A brief history of the bikini.
From picture #7 on the slideshow:
Brigitte Bardot's legs, at least, didn't need the help. This photo was taken at the Cannes Film Festival in 1953, just as the bikini was becoming de rigueur on the French Riviera. Even so, it remained off-limits in the States, where it was seen as a suspect garment favored by licentious Mediterranean types. A few years ago, Sports Illustrated dug up a 1957 issue of Modern Girl that declared: "It is hardly necessary to waste words over the so-called bikini since it is inconceivable that any girl with tact and decency would ever wear such a thing."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's a sad kitty day around here, for sure. GC and Sue, they've had the best of all possible humans in having you for owners.
This.
Work Nemesis just called with an "urgent" question that my coworker assures me was answered in an email she was copied on already. Awesome.

Sue, I'm so sorry. May Pico and Josie meet up on the other side...

Sorry to hear the bad news about your cats, Sue and GC.
In a startling development, I came back to work and discovered that things ran more or less smoothly on the production end in my absence, with a reasonable amount of work waiting for me rather than an overwhelming pile. Though two of my co-workers did turn in their notice while I was away.

I think I'm finished with my second big project. Huh.
In the last two weeks, I have written a 77 page manual and a 28 page story, and edited 24 screens in another manual.
After I get back from Michigan this weekend, I'm going to celebrate by being the slothiest slothful slothmeister in all of slothyland. In fact, I wish I were an Animagus just so I could transform myself into an actual sloth, that is how slothalicious I would like to be.
