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

And I don't know how I missed Laughing Squid.

Dude! It has San Francisco stuff!

How else are you going to learn about stuff like the Cardboard Tube Fighting League Tournament San Francisco

eta: I have to quote this (again, I think):

The CTFL was created out of a desperate need to better train and arm citizens with cardboard tubes. While many speculate that our fore fathers, when drafting the constitution, originally intended the fourth amendment to refer to fire arms, there is now a small group of non-academics who believe that they were more likely referring to elite militias of card board tube wielding ninjas. While this training often takes place during childhood, it is discarded by adults who remain uneducated about the importance of such practices. The goal of the CTFL is to provide organized cardboard tube based events that help spread cardboard awareness.

I was just looking over those candidates' photos again, and I noticed that in my favorite pic, the one in the bumper car, the hands controlling the car that Obama is obviously aiming for look like they might be Michelle's. Hah!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

And I don't know how I missed Laughing Squid.

I don't know how you did, either.

Due to the nature of my job, I'm often trolling Eater SF and its sister site, Curbed SF. My favorite (non-SF) bartender's blog.

None of those are new, but they're all enjoyable.

Another cool blog is I'm Learning To Share! The second-most-recent post is about art from '50s scifi - check it out: A Few Found Frank Kelly Freas Illustrations, 1954 - '55

Yeah, but I can just walk around and pick up flyers and read the alt-weeklies and find out SF stuff. Anyway, clearly I'm delinquent, but not afraid to flaunt my ignorance in an attempt to dispel it. This is why I ask these questions.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Incidentally, JZ has mentioned Matilda's newest trick.

Which is to respond to anybody's fart with a low, growly (somewhere between Excorcist Toddler and Grizzly Bear) voiced "Baaaahhhhttt!"

JZ alone, however, gets the added indignity of Matilda running around to pat her on the ass as if encouraging the offending waft to return to its source.

Btw, has Boxed Set already discussed Telegraph's Top 10 Dr. Who Episodes Ever?

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

Telegraph's Top 10 Dr. Who Episodes Ever

The Talons of Weng-Chiang

A good series, but seriously flawed.
