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

How to Make a Tin Foil Hat for a Dog

Many people ignore step 7:

Avoid the temptation to decorate your dog's tin foil hat. Materials such as felt or other types of fabric are too absorbent and may soak up and retain mind control rays. If you must decorate the hat, use reflective accents like sequins. These are shiny and will help deflect the damaging rays. Attach sequins to the hat with hot glue.

Sadly, the how-to guide has no photos....

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Note that it's not to prevent mind control rays from affecting your CAT.

I think aliens and secret government agencies have given up trying to control cats a long time ago....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dude, everyone knows the mind-control rays flow OUTWARD from the cat.

At least that's what he tells me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Argh -- I just got a free ticket to a work thing that starts at 7 on Friday morning. How the fuck is that going to work??

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Does it involve caffeine, Jesse?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

My boss just sent me home and told me not to come into work tomorrow. Win.

Feel better, amyth! Sorry you're sickly.

I have consumed an apple and am now eating cashews & cranberries to tide me over until I can leave work and go get a salad at the sushi place. It's good to have a plan.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I kind of want to go to an event with Neil DeGrasse Tyson and hold up a big sign that says I AM OKAY WITH PLUTO BEING A DWARF PLANET

Me too! I mean, it's not a planet. Taking away the name, I could see people being sad, but we just accurately reclassified it. One less planet for kids to memorize now.

Allyson, it's going to be oaky. But I'd have melted down too. You still took care of stuff after. That's the part to focus on, the dealing.

Thanks, Kate. I'm home now, and will feel better soon. I'm sorry YOU aren't feeling well! For, you know, months.
