Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Awww...
I had a Cornish Rex named Cleo. She was very nearly hairless....

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Can you tell Arial from Helvetica:
I missed BSAF and TARGET. The all-caps throw me. The rest, though -- once you know the things to look for, it's pretty easy. (Helvetica doesn't have the slants on things like the top of lower-case t and the ends of lower-case c.)

Helvetica doesn't have any slants at all. All the strokes terminate at right angles. You can see a slight slant in the uppercase Arial “S”. The uppercase Helvetica “R” and “G” are quite distinctive, too.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I got 18 out of 20. The ones where the words/names were slanted threw me a bit.

From Korea: French fry-coated hot dog
If Coney Island witnessed the birth of the hot dog, Seoul in South Korea saw subsequent generations mutate into a an entirely new genus of animal. An animal coated in a skin of batter and french fries then presented deep-fried on a stick.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I had 20/20, but a few were random guesses pulled out of my hindquarters based on visual memory where knowing the rules wasn't enough to make it clear.

Okay, Tom said this much better than I did. When I said "Helvetica doesn't have the slants on things like," what I meant by "things like" was "here are some examples."
Hard to believe I get paid to communicate for a living, huh?
