Just eat a muffin whitey!
See, if the muffin was as savory as the "bagels" I like (I'm thinking Au Bon Pain's asiago cheese bagels), it wouldn't be a muffin anymore.
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I skipped and got all confused that everyone was wishing Kat a happy birthday because I thought it was on Sunday. Then I remembered the b.org tradition of asking about everyone's weekend. Duh!
Happy birthday Kat! Now I want to make cupcakes.
ION, I read this exchange in way the wrong way:

Jesse: I had a "bagel" from Panera.
And now I really must apologize to Jesse for even thinking that. Sorry Jesse, my bad.

Anyone know of any friendly and natural(-ish) ways to discourage neighborhood cats from wandering through an unfenced back yard?
(I have no unreasonable illusions that someone's going to leap to my rescue here, but I figure the hivemind is a great compilation of interesting facts, so...what's the harm? :)
Some friends have moved into a rental with a great backyard, but now the neighborhood outdoor cats have started camping out there. Is there a scent or something that would discourage kitties, while not-bothering, say, birds?
Danke!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Motion sensor sprinklers. Cat comes into yard, water sprays, cat leaves. You;d have to fiddle with setting it up to make it not bother the birds, but I think you could manage it.

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
Dylan is always coming over here and hanging with my brother (last night, they went to the Phillies game and he slept here afterwards)--he loves coming here and seeing both his dad and grandma.
That's very good news indeed.
And this was an amusing x-post:

Jesse: I had a "bagel" from Panera.
It amused me because I instantly thought, "Yeah, a Panera "bagel" would not be nearly firm enough..."

SH, here are some homemade cat repellant ideas.
