Natter 66: Get Your Kicks.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Timelies all!
It should not be in the low 60s and overcast in early October. Not helping my mood any, either.
My cat brought home a bunny head once. Actually, she brought home the SAME bunny head, twice-- the first time I shrieked and flung it off the balcony, and she went and retrieved it the next morning.
Then she brought home a live baby bunny. Which she proceeded to release in my bedroom. That was cuter, but still not so fun.
Yikes. Another reason to be glad I have an indoor cat. And the one time we saw a mouse, he didn't work that hard at killing it, which was kind of good news/bad news.
How come there isn't a failblog-like collection of the dumbest posts in newspaper comments sections?
And why isn't there a "letters to the editor" sort of intern who deletes that shit? It makes me think the world is getting dumber.

So that the rest of the readers can shake their heads and go "At least I'm smarter than that idiot."

You probably overestimated the world, what with hanging out with scientists all day.
At the NC house we had a yard full of mature trees, under which one had to walk to get to the vehicles in the driveway. Squirrels lived in the trees, and regularly took exception to our passage beneath them, hurling acorns and pecans and other debris as we passed. One day StE came in with something in his hand. He held it out to me.
"Mom?" It was a steak bone which had been hurled from above and struck him in the shoulder. We both wondered for a few minutes if the squirrels were dragging cows up into the trees, but finally decided we hoped, somewhat uneasily, that one of them had raided some neighbor's yard after a cookout.
Re: pizza boxes... Apparently some grease is acceptable. We recycled a entire dumpster's worth of pizza boxes from a street festival, and I cleared it with the recycler beforehand. But I'm sure it varies wildly, and as always, call your local solid waste management peeps if in doubt. They are used to all kinds of questions.
Question for Christians: Does the phrasing "The church I grew up in" seem funny to you? I guess it's a question for everyone, but I'm wondering if it's an actual thing or if I just made it up.
