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

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I used the treadmill for the first time since we got back from vacation. Now I just need to get my lazy butt on it on a more regular basis...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The one time I did have jury duty at the Daley Center
I'm not the only one who read this as Dalek Center, right?
Nope.

I think Hizzoner (the Honorable Richard J. Daley) might have minded being associated with Daleks! He was more along the lines of the Big Bad from The Pirate Planet.

Also, the Thompson Center looks more like a Dalek than the Daley Center

... and the Daley Center has the giant Picasso sculpture to protect it from Daleks.

ION, this is interesting: I Want To Ride My ($1,400, Dutch-Style) Bicycle
(By the way, I specifically sought out bikes in a style Europeans refer to as "step-through," and we here in the States refer to as "women's." Step-through bikes are much easier to elegantly mount and dismount, they allow you to stand up in comfort when at a stoplight, and they eliminate all risk of brutally racking your testicles. The fact is, that crossbar on men's bikes doesn't serve much purpose if you're not a performance rider.)
Do men in the US ride bikes like this?

The Poo Trap: An Alternative to Scooping Up After Your Dog
I’m afraid that this product is exactly what it looks like: a bracket that holds a stringed plastic bag while attached to your dog’s tail. At the expense of your dog’s sense of dignity, you get to avoid scooping up after him:
People invented many useful technologies to make people’s life easier. All these inventions (car is among one of them) are to make people’s life more convenient. With our “PooTrap”, no need to worry that dogs will cause environment pollution, and as dogs owners may know, actually it’s difficult to pick up poop.

wtf? maybe if it's diarrhea.
Can't stop crying. Don't know why a work related NO is triggering an existential crisis. Maybe I just really need the catharsis. But I don't know what the f*** for.

Look at this!
It's a model ship taller than I am! The detail is stupendous! And it's a model of a painted, gilded Dutch ship of the line from the late 1600s. Lord, I want it.
