Bonny, I hope the damage isn't too expensive to repair. Remember that insurance will pay--so perhaps you'll only need to cover the deductible.

A titanium spork is deserving of its own special slot in the utensil drawer.

Aims, wooot on the success for you and Joe!

Woman sends stripper impersonator to highschool reunion as a prank

Andrea Wachner sent an erotic dancer, named Cricket, to impersonate her at her ten year high school reunion. The dancer wore a hidden ear piece to stay in communication with Wachner. A film crew was on the scene pretending to film a documentary about artists, including Wachner. Of course, they were really documenting Wachner's brilliant prank. When she posted clips to YouTube, some of her classmates weren't too happy they'd been duped. Now Wachner has a manager shopping her story as a reality show or feature film.

...As the night progressed the drinks flowed, and Cricket, always outgoing, was getting ready for the climax of the evening: a striptease performed to what Cricket described as "one of the worst songs of the '90s," Lisa Loeb's "Stay."

When the boys decide they're done with the canned food, we'll put it out on the porch for the neighborhood feline grazers. It's amazing how often the boys will suddenly decide it's edible again. Perhaps they prefer dining on the terrace.

Now that it's warm, we're leaving the back door cracked open for feline egress at well. Unfortunately this leads to finding cats we don't recognize with their noses in the food bowl in the kitchen. We have very generous cats who like to invite friends over for dinner.

heh- we leave the food out until it's time to rinse out the bowl and refill.

Maybe that's why one of the cats has parasites!

Remember yesterday, when I said something about how I wished my cafeteria would have Indian food again soon?

::return to stuffing chicken tikka masala and naan in my mouth::

Yummmmmm.

I haven't been feeding my cat soft food, although he does get the occasional bit of soft human food (tuna and ham). The other night I put some ham scraps in the garbage disposal and forgot to run it. I came out the next morning to find the ham scraps all over the floor. I'm not sure which is more disturbing—that the cat had his paw in the garbage disposal or that he's as picky as I am about fat on his ham.

Having a beagle means never having to worry about food being left out.

Would you drink liquid candy if it was made to look like blood or urine? And if it came in little specimen containers like you'd see in a hospital or clinic?

She will drink your blood and piss

Ok, nothing, NOTHING, will make folks cringe like watching you drink pee straight from a real live urine specimen container. And it will make you cringe too, but not because it tastes bad. Oh no, the urine tastes like a deliciously thick lemonade - only really, really sour (hence the cringing). Likewise the blood looks just like real blood, in a real specimen vial - but it tastes like intensely sour cherry. We love this stuff; it tastes great and the disgusting fun is to die for. Sour Candy Body Fluids are the only time that having blood mixed in with your urine is a good thing - then you have yummy, sour cherry lemonade! Lip-smacking gross!

Having a beagle means never having to worry about food being left out.

Yes. Yes it does.

I have not only the regular titanium spork but also the folding titanium spork.
