I read that and I thought that it was raining furries in Chicago.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From the "If only I had thought of that, I could be making nearly $10,000 a day" department":
iPhone fart app pulls in nearly $10,000 a day
Apple’s App Store is currently experiencing a plague of fart applications. Last week, I detailed one day in which at least 14 new fart apps were accepted into the store. And now, just in a quick search, it looks like there are about 50 apps all dedicated to making fart noises on your iPhone or iPod touch. Classy, I know, but why are there so many?
Because apparently there’s big money in fart apps — nearly $10,000 a day for the most popular ones.
Developer InfoMedia (Joel Comm), which makes iFart Mobile, has been releasing download statistics for the app each day since it launched. The $0.99 app has been in the top 100 paid apps every day since its launch, and has seen great growth. In fact, yesterday it hit the number one overall position with over 13,000 downloads. MacRumors ran the numbers, factoring out the 30 percent cut Apple takes from each sale, and determined that, yesterday alone, iFart Mobile made its developers $9,198.
Certainly, a part of this onslaught of fart apps is that Apple, which had previously rejected all crude apps, changed its policy to let them in. But now that they glimpse the potential for big business in fart apps, expect even more to come.
Of course, not all fart apps are going to make it to the number one paid app position, but a number of them are selling well. Personally, I prefer Pull My Finger [iTunes link], but it’s hard to argue with iFart Mobile’s icon, which simply reads “Best Fart App!”

You know, whoopie cushions cost only $.99 too, and they don't need batteries, either.
I was supposed to have left for Mom's an hour ago, and I'm still not packed.

Well, the whole idea is that one device can take the place of your whoopie cushion, virtual lighter, virtual beer-drinking device, Dr. Horrible Van Remote Control, etc....

Oh, that is easily one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. Why is this woman on television again?

Ok, the letters in that "new take latkes" article are hysterical... particularly since the author feels the need to comment on them repeatedly. My favorite response?
This whole notion that there is no risk to pigging out once a year isn’t really true.
