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

Wait a minute, it's really called a urinal mint? Does it make the urinal minty fresh? Because really I think nobody should be licking urinals to make sure they are minty fresh.

google:

urinal cake: About 976,000 results

urinal mint: About 357,000 results

I first heard the term "urinal mint" on Beavis and Butthead, in which Beavis complains about how they taste.

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

Urinal cake is just as bad as urinal mint!!! Why isn't it called something inedible, like a urinal freshener?

I first heard the term "urinal mint" on Beavis and Butthead, in which Beavis complains about how they taste.

Oh dang, I miss Beavis and Butthead.

There's another food-related term.

From Wikipedia:

Urinal deodorizer blocks, also often called urinal cakes, para blocks, urinal mints, urinal pucks, urinal peons (pee-ons), or urinal cookies, are the small disinfectant blocks found in urinals.

OK, "urinal cookie" is bad.

OK, enough urinal mint discussion and on to more wholesome topics!

Sea slug has detachable penis

"A sea slug that is able to detach, re-grow and then re-use its penis has surprised scientists."

The cool thing about this link is it has a YouTube video of the classic King Missile song "Detachable Penis". (Not the actual video, just audio with the album cover.)

I think everyone needs to hear this song at least once.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I..ate cherry tomatoes and ricotta cheese instead of my leftovers and instead of the lunch I cooked for the SO. It's possible I should stop mocking things and actually have you guys make decisions for me. I'm not doing all that great on my own.

Because books.

I'm working at home today, and I just had a bowlful of Goldfish and a brownie, and I'm calling *that* lunch. You're way ahead.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I got in fine. I love the difference between the dog's call-name and their registered name. Fr'instance: Bubbles the Saluki is Sandstorm Blue Nile BubblesOfJatara.

Yes! I skimmed through at random, and was just coming back here to post about Branson, registered as Mickalady's Breakdancin' B-Boy.

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

A sea slug that is able to detach, re-grow and then re-use its penis has surprised scientists.

The important question (to a female, anyway) is: can the penis be used while it's detached? God, that could simplify stuff.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, I win! It had protein!

I am supposed to be working at work right now, but the Fedex lady called to find out where my house was and is bringing me my laptop and I need to sign for it. And then a donor called to tell me they were paying for it. So I can enjoy it and not feel guilty. Although if I'd known a donor was going to pay part, I probably would have bought the mac.

You guys! When I get my tax refund, I'll be able to pay off my credit cards! In full, I think! That is so crazy to me -- I've been in credit card debt for 20 years.
