Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'd want my neighbor's little yappy dog along with me for a cougar attack. Either its continuous high-pitched barking would annoy the cat into leaving, or I could offer it as a snack and make friends.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Or you could just give up and hand over the twink.

That's what I'd do.

Maybe...

Har, just like in Snakes on a Plane when the guy threw the yappy dog at the snake.

Hey, Plotts can tree a bear.

I'm sure that it will be able to handle a puma.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I suggest not hiking in cougar territory - 100% survival from cougar attacks. Go Team Lazy!

That works until Mac brings home that stray cougar he found walking around the streets.

So, the proper tactic is to run like hell?

If it was a cheetah I'd say Nutty and a squash court would be the best tactic. But it's not.

Compassionately intolerant

I have faith in Plott Hounds as a breed. This one? I dunno. She's sweet but not particularly focused. Then again, I've never seen her in the presence of a bear, so one never knows.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Nutty + squash court + big cat = never not funny. I swear.

Did y'all know about Greenfreeze? [link]

How dumb that we are making these in the US? Our business lobbyists suck ass.

This is my favorite part:

However, until earlier this year, red tape and industry lobbyists have prevented Greenfreeze from being introduced in the United States. This September, Ben & Jerry’s, working with Greenpeace, launched a pilot program through an EPA permit to test 2,000 of their Greenfreeze freezers in ice cream scoop shops and stores in the United States.

I get to feel very virtuous for eating that ice cream. And I'm pleased to see that Ben & Jerry's is still walking the walk.

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

Visa claims teen spent $23,148,855,308,184,500.00 on prepaid credit card

Visa recorded a $23,148,855,308,184,500.00 purchase on Consumerist reader Dale's kid's prepaid Visa Buxx card: "My lectures about financial responsibility appear to have failed: yesterday she charged $23,148,855,308,184,500.00 at the drug store. That's 2,000 times more than the national debt, which is a paltry 11 trillion. The ever-vigilant folks at VISA added a $20 'negative balance fee,' and have suspended the card."

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I was already going to take the tour (again) when I go to Vermont, but NOW I'm going to feel self-righteous for taking that tour!
