Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, thank you. I'd been wondering who that character on the back of the car in front of me in traffic was, and now that you mention that, I realise it was the princess from the game.

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

Blah blah blah signs of the apocalypse blah blah....

Chicken Adopts Litter of Puppies

A hen in Shrewsbury, UK has been nesting on a litter of puppies born on the farm of Edward and Ros Tate. This is to the chicken’s advantage, as the Tates have since decided to not eat her:

Mr Tate said: ‘Mabel was hatched here about a year ago. She would have gone onto someone’s dinner plate but we saved her.[...]

'We have a dog, Nettle, which has just given birth to a litter of pups. Within a few days of giving birth, Nettle was up and about, prowling in the yard.

‘Mabel observed Nettle’s behaviour and, as soon as there was a chance, she hoped into the dog basket to roost on the pups.

‘She keeps them and herself warm, while Nettle is outside on the yard.’

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

they said something about "all your post-dated checks" or "cheques," I guess. Do people give all of their rent che(ck)(que)s up front, to be cashed later?

It's often the practice, especially if it's a yearly lease.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think I would love that (see earlier posts re: forgetting to pay rent), now that I pretty much always have the rent money in the bank on time.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Jesse, are you watching Mike Holmes, aka my husband's man-crush?

Oh, ouch. Uh, they never served us whale during our omakase. But I would be naive to be totally surprised they'd cross that particular line.

I think it would be easier on everyone all round. The landlord wouldn't have to hound laggards or wait for all the cheques to deposit them.

Whale is shocking (though I don't know why... we eat mammals all the time, just not marine ones). But what is more shocking is the $600 bill for two.

All of you Hump goers, is it always that expensive?
