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

'Hiccup Girl' Arrested: Jennifer Mee Charged In Florida

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — An uncontrollable case of the hiccups brought an odd sort of fame to Jennifer Mee, who was 15 when she appeared on television morning shows trying to find a cure for her mysterious affliction.

Five weeks later they stopped and the media attention mostly disappeared – until this week, when Mee, now 19, was charged with first-degree murder after police said she met a 22-year-old man online and lured him to a vacant home where two of her friends robbed and shot him.

OK, people famous for things like uncontrollable hiccups should not kill people. I mean, without a good reason.

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

You can only take so many people sneaking up behind you and yelling "BOO!" before you take one out I guess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My first attempt at old man make-up. I will fully grey my hair, and I think I need to add glasses:

That's kind of terrifying. What's your costume?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Hey, we have power here at work! A vast improvement over my apartment. The next road over from my apartment complex was blocked off with loads of fire trucks all over it, so I'm guessing a tree came down, taking a power line with it. Keeping my fingers crossed that it's fixed by the time I go home.

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

What's your costume?

It's a costume?

Pumpkin "muffin" is too sweet. Might as well have gone to Coffee Bean. Thanks, peeps.

RIP Paul the Octopus

He was good cephalopod. He will be sorely missed by the Spanish, not so much by the Germans. NPR reports that at the ripe age of 2.5 he passed on from natural causes.

Not terrifying!

Old Man and the Sea. I am making a giant foam board letter "C", putting it on a stick and carrying it with me. I have a cane and an old suit from my grandfather. I plan to do lots of mumbling about kids these days and offa' my lawn and whatnot.

Pumpkin "muffin" is too sweet.

Why don't they just call it what it is? Oh,yeah, they want people to feel okay about eating cake for breakfast.
