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

That's around the corner from my old apartment.

More from the article:

Witnesses state the suspect was asking, "Where's brenda?"

OK, I made that up.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

I will agree that his most recent photo is one of the few where the subject looks as crazy as he seems.

For me, the ultra-disturbing part is how much it looks like pictures of my father. Including the crazy look, which in my father's case is a result of trying not to blink.

One scary-ass video: Cars Get Swept Away in Australian Flash Flood (The One)

Massive flash flooding earlier this week in Queensland, Australia has reportedly left 10 people dead and over 70 missing, but the eyewitness testimonies of "huge wall[s] of water" over a kilometer wide are pretty hard to imagine until you see videos like this.

YouTuber whitelightbringer recorded the flooding as it hit the Chalk Lane parking lot in Toowoomba, Queensland yesterday, January 10, and it's amazing how quickly the water goes from looking like an innocent muddy river to completely flooding the parking lot and dragging cars away in the current.

I really hope I don't have to spend the next year feeding safestores UDOs into jukeboxes to restore the entire HST, Kepler, FUSE and countless other mission's data to new hardware.

I wish I understood anything after "spend the next year".

Hobbit food porn!

A Meal Fit For the Greatest Hobbits of Them All

What do you eat when you watch the extended versions of all three Lord of the Rings movies? The Alamo Drafthouse served up an eight-course meal during its LOTR marathon, including First Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Elevensies and Coney Stew. Check out exclusive photos below.

The gourmet servings of hobbit food were part of the Alamo's annual Film/Feast event, which focused on Tolkien's masterwork this year. The attention to detail is astounding. The three movies, back to back, added up to twelve hours, with Hobbit-inspired food being served at each Hobbit mealtime. The menu tells the awesome story.

Want to learn how to make Coney Stew? The Alamo Drafthouse's Executive Chef, John Bullington, came up with a recipe, which we've posted here.

Warning - pictures may make you hungry....

There has been a lot in the news about the violent rhetoric from the right. I've seen lots of quotes that span years, but all have been from Republicans. Have there been any lists made of similar quotes from the left?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

So, I just made a phone call I never thought I'd make: I made a bomb threat to my own school! It was a drill to make sure the people who answer the phones follow procedure, but it was still really weird.

Not that I know of. From Sullivan:

George Packer concedes that George W. Bush was the subject of vile liberal rhetoric, but notes the unmissable scale of the difference:

Only one side has made the rhetoric of armed revolt against an oppressive tyranny the guiding spirit of its grassroots movement and its midterm campaign. Only one side routinely invokes the Second Amendment as a form of swagger and intimidation, not-so-coyly conflating rights with threats. Only one side’s activists bring guns to democratic political gatherings. Only one side has a popular national TV host who uses his platform to indoctrinate viewers in the conviction that the President is an alien, totalitarian menace to the country. Only one side fills the AM waves with rage and incendiary falsehoods. Only one side has an iconic leader, with a devoted grassroots following, who can’t stop using violent imagery and dividing her countrymen into us and them, real and fake. Any sentient American knows which side that is; to argue otherwise is disingenuous.

one mentioned but i suspect you're gonna have trouble finding such a list, since the violent militia-advocating types generally don't trend twd the left.
