Aww--Joe Biden just got a German Shepherd puppy! The puppy's so cute.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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

Not only is the keyboard case covered in leather, but each individual key as well.

Oh, that keyboard looks yummy. No letters on the keys, I'd feel so smug with my Mad Touchtyping Skillz.

Etsy seller GEEKitty makes handmade, retro-gaming-themed catnip-filled cat-toys. They'll even do custom plush dope-filled dice, Game Boys, NES controllers and related gamer kipple.
Here's the actual Etsy site: [link] My fave is the d20 DIE for gamer kitties
Pictured above is the d20 die, beloved by RPG gamers for centuries. Give your cat a fighting chance to save vs squirt-bottle next time he jumps on the counter! You'll find all your favorite numbers from 1 through 20 on this toy, made from dark blue felt with yellow DMC floss numbers. The toy measures about 6" in diameter.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I put Owen on the bus and Liv just fell asleep (All Praise the Wonderful Benedryl). I'm going to take a nap.

I had two separate Obama-related dreams this weekend. In the words of John Stewart, give us our damn bike already!

Yay! Scientists have figured out the purpose of life!
Although the researchers don’t speculate on the specific chemical reactions that created life, they explain that the molecules involved most likely underwent a series of more and more complex reactions to minimize mutual energy differences between matter on Earth and with respect to high-energy radiation from Sun. The process eventually advanced so far that it cumulated into such sophisticated functional structures that could be called living. “The most important idea in our study is that there is no distinction between animate and inanimate,” Arto Annila told PhysOrg.com. “Processes of life are, in their principles, no different from any other natural processes.” In this sense, life is a very natural thing, which emerged simply to satisfy basic physical laws. Our “purpose,” so to speak, is to redistribute energy on the Earth, which is in between a huge potential energy difference caused by the hot Sun and cold space.
So we're just here to do the entropy thing....
