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

Tomorrow is Dead Duck Day

Marc Abrahams of the IgNobel awards wrote today to inform me that tomorrow is Dead Duck Day, an annual event celebrated at the Natural History Museum in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. What, pray tell, does Dead Duck Day celebrate? Marc says:

It's the anniversary of the first known observation of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard duck.

I seriously can't even look at ducks anymore.

Anyway, this observation won museum curator Kees Moeliker an IgNobel back in 2003. Since then, he's commemorated the sacrifice made by the poor duck in question with what is variously described as a memorial service or re-enactment (?!)—followed by an all-duck dinner at a local Chinese restaurant.

Maybe I'll have duck for dinner tomorrow....

Loki has a shoe fetish. Good thing he lives with the right person: [link] Please ignore the litter tub peeloff (shoes in the front are the ones I wore to the wedding. And danced for hours in. Actually really comfy for that. I even did a lot of jumping.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That ep made me cry more than just about any other show, ever.

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

Okay, hysterical. Han Solo and Ally MacBeal are two tables down from us at dinner. Burrell has a very good eye.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, fun!

Very cool!

I saw CF at a Korean hot tub place years ago. She was nekkid.
