If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Those were my favorites too, so now I think that counts as empirical data.

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

I wonder if us pet-owners don't do our pets a disservice when we buy laser-toys for our pets. Sure, they get some enjoyment and exercise from them, but as they continuously chase the red dot that they can't ever catch, but instead see the red dot mysteriously appear on top of the paw that by all rights should be pinning it to the ground, they must realize that their perception of reality is at some level fundamentally flawed.

I mean, that can't be good, right?

You want to stretch your cat. You start with the Cartesian Cogito and work your way up to Wittgenstein's epistemological crisis.

I'm reminded of lori's dog who, long after the laser goes away keeps looking for the lil' red dot. For a while.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don' t know, one of my cats and my dog seem to have figured out that the red dot is connected to the thing in my hand in some way.

My boss's dog loves the laser dot, to the point where she gets over-excited. She used to do this thing that hunting dogs and wolves do when hunting prey burrowing under snow - she would drop her front paws straight down onto the dot (this trick can catch animals hiding under snow).

I think my cat has sussed it out. My laser pointer is on a keychain, and she knows enough to come running if I jiggle that. Then once she gets bored with the red dot she comes over and start headbutting my had with the pointer in it.

Then there are mayonnaise sandwiches. Mayonnaise on bread is not a sandwich, it's a step on the way to a sandwich.

I had NO IDEA that there were people other than my youngest brother who had those. . .of course, his were butter and mayonnaise sandwiches.

I used to babysit a kid who had mustard sandwiches. Which was problematic as I had to make them, and I had a fear of mustard.
