It always takes me by surprise to realize how BIG lions are. And what cuddle bums they apparently are. I have a picture of a woman leaning her head against a lion's head, and they both seem quite content.

You don't see these kinds of pictures with tigers, so much. I wonder if it's because lions are pride critters and like lolling around on fellow creatures.

My cat is way smaller than I am, and can still hurt me by accident or on purpose...

My one cat is about the size of that lion.

So yesterday, the seller didn't send over the right lead paint forms and he said he'd do it last night, but he still hasn't. They are no big deal, it's just part of the contract (It's from 1931 and has original doors in places. Of course it has lead paint.He sent over the form that goes with a rental contract.) My agent said in the brief interactions she's had with him, he seemed pretty flaky. I'm betting there is going to be a lot of "dude, get your act together" in this process.

Hahah! You do have large felines. I always thought of Mister Kitty as big, but I'd had a lot of diminutive cats, including Devi. I think Loki's gonna be a big one. He's already surpassed MK's weight (and is only a little bit fat.) And he's not a year yet.

Aren't tigers considerably more likely to regard humans as prey animals than lions are?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Isn't this pretty? I wonder if it holds an edge.

Which reminds me, a friend told me about this [link] which always reminds me of monkey/jackal smackdown and OPPOSABLE THUMBS, BIATCH!

From Kat's link:

Reports of Henry’s prolific procreating, generated by child-support disputes, have highlighted how futile the N.F.L.’s attempts can be at educating its players about making wise choices.

DJ's link is one slip and fall away from a very Darwin tale.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Kat's link led me to this one: [link] which is about dirty Chinese puns, and fascinating.
