From RatherGood.com ("We love the moon!"), LOLcats now have their own theme song (and video): Lolcats

Like a car crash, you can't look away....

Put a puppy in your pipe and smoke it!

Smoking puppies is wrong! And no one should do it, EVER! t /Tick

LOLcats now have their own theme song

"I haz a musik!"

I just got a call from a vendor saying thery couldn't get an answer for me because their London office is closed for snow, so I guess it is true. weather.com only tells me they have light snow today.

I didn't even have a bad morning, but I could do without Monday.

"I haz a musik!"

Meanwhile, Robert Smith is saying, "Oh noes! They haz my musiks! I can haz lawsuit?"

And then the LOLcat says, "Supreme cats sez I can haz parodiez!"

Vulture World

A few weeks ago, I spent a surprisingly pleasant morning watching vultures in the "Birds of Prey" section of the Bronx Zoo in New York City. The birds, juvenile females named Patsy and Dolly, were calm and curious, dropping down to the front of the cage every time someone stopped. When lunch came, they used their big, flat feet to steady packages of recently thawed rat carcasses as they undid them with their hooked bills. (Zookeepers wrap the dead rats in paper, tightly tied with string, to make the dining process more interesting.)

When the hyper-intelligent aliens arrive and put us all in their zoos, they'll explain the human-feeding process: "We wrap the dead pigs in spandex and fiberglass, to make the dining process more interesting."

It cracks me up that the Southland trailer, with Ryan from The OC uses a song that OC used quite often....Ben McKenzie is still woobie-riffic!

I would very much like Ben McK to do a guest spot on the Mentalist which calls for many scenes with Simon Baker.

According to my BiL and colleagues in the UK, this is the worst snowstorm to hit London in 18 years. The buses and tube are almost completely shut down and most roads are impassable.

Hee. I got knocked off the internets last night because the SO had a deep and abiding need to rant to every single person in the world about bad officiating. But then it went all crazy in the other direction, too, so I have no idea.

Anyway, very dramatic, fun to watch. But then I was grumpy through two Northern Exposures, so I guess I was bummed indeed at the final result.

Today the van's back in the shop, again, for a completely different problem. But we had AAA tow it, so we're at home, and our boss/friend loaned us a car, so we're not actually stuck. So that's good. But still probably off work, because I don't think driving a borrowed car three hours onto the reservation over some pretty wonky roads is a good idea. Plus I dunno if the drumkit will fit in a Jeep Liberty.

So. Home. Van in shop.

If you go here: Heavy snow in Britain causes travel chaos you can see a slideshow of snow in England and the Continent. "The worst snowstorm to hit London in 18 years" deposited 4 inches, which isn't much by Midwest standards....

"We're not in Russia here," said Guy Pitt, a Transport for London spokesman. "We don't have an infrastructure built for constant snow."

...

London Mayor Boris Johnson said the city lacked snowplows.

"You can grit and you can salt it but the snow comes down again," he said. "You can make an investment ... in snowplows for London and then not use them for a couple of decades."
