Last night we showed my BiL the White & Nerdy video since he had never heard of it. The kids then had us played it about 10 times so it has been burned into my mind.

If you haven't seen the video; first of all, what the hell is wrong with you; second, here is the link. I'm not sure I punctuated that sentence correctly.

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

Weird Al also has a variant of White & Nerdy that's just one long take of him and Donny Osmond. (I can't link to YouTube at work). It's amazing.

That does sound amazing. My wife never really noticed Donny Osmond in the background before. Once I mentioned how he cracked me the hell up in the video, she noticed him in the background and the video took on a whole new dimension.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

There's also a fabulous Lego stop-motion "White and Nerdy", but my all-time favorite is the Psych vid (featuring Gus, of course.)

I should declutter my brain.

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

BTW, only the Christian God is real. A TV preacher proved it. Here is his argument:

"Have you ever seen somebody working on a fence and takes a hammer and hit their thumb and go "Awww... Buddha!" You ever see them do that? How many hit a gold ball like I hit a golf ball and they go "Ohhh... Mohammed!" Why do they call that name? You know what they do? They go "Jesus Christ!" "Jesus Christ!" Why do they call that name? Because I believe when a person gets hurt or they get angry, they wanna blame who? They want to blame God.

A pretty ironclad argument, huh?

The preacher also shares many other equally profound insights with his rapt audience: Satan uses LPs to control people, and burn victims are lucky because they've gotten a taste of hell.

Compassionately intolerant

sumi, all are altered and older to boot.

The breeder apparently never factored the possibility that the woman might ever get married to someone with pets. But yeah, not much with the sense-making.

I thought about the 'singing the blues' aspect because the cat is in a new house, but apparently the screeching happened before the move and is somehow getting worse...which 'worse' might just mean 'isn't stopping.'

I'm kind of nervous about this because I never professed to cat wrangling and the woman seems to be quite high strung. She demanded that the fellow 'get training' for the dog...who isn't the problem...before allowing them to move in, but did not bother to come to the session despite my strongly encouraging that she do so. She is 'pleased' with the pooch's progress and, therefore, trusts me enough to let me come to the house, but she's now demanding I 'fix' the cat problem. I'd hate for her to dismiss my efforts so that the dog ends up suffering.

Art Crawl!!!

Cats can be clicker trained.

It's the Siamese that's yowling?

I bet you could help her out with that. I believe Karen Pryor has a book on the topic.

No, it's the Calico that is yowling. I suspect the man just never bothered to be fussed by it, but now that the woman is bothered, he's bothered. "If Mama ain't happy. Ain't nobody happy." is my guess.
