I dedicate this one to Cindy's cat stacking obsession.
Oooh, good literary rule of thumb.
Awww, and this one's got a Pleiades shoutout.

Heh. A site about how to talk to your parents about the consequences of voting for McCain: [link]
The page about "warning signs" is pretty amusing. One is

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
or years the United States should remain in Iraq.
I'm tempted to start a "Pacifists for McCain" website.
"100 more years in Iraq would be awesome! Just try not to kill people, OK?"

On NPR they had a piece about young Jewish voters going to Florida for "The Great Schlep" to convince their grandparents to vote for Obama.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thank goodness, my convoluted meeting worked out -- and without a 7:30 am meeting time! Now I can really go on vacation.

Yeah, but I guess it's a real phenomenon too. They followed some guy visiting his grandparents. I loved the accents and the fussing over him: "Isn't he a smart boy?" Made me miss my grandmother and all the big family occasions.

There are so many other and much more valid reasons to consider me a pervert!

Remember when you wanted to work for Playboy, shrift?
Considering how much porn was on the office walls, I really wouldn't have worried about anyone seeing it on my monitor.
