"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Uh, if I spray a wasp (hornet?) with a lot of Windex, will I kill it? Or stun it enough to kill it?

That's usually my way of dealing with flying stinging things. Douse with something that impairs them and then crush them in a wad of paper towels. You can use the lump of paper towel to clean the excess Windex.

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

So my cat Squeaky had dental surgery today. They had to extract seven teeth. Damn.

Because books.

Frank, that's what I did! I'm not even sure what it was now, but it was big, and it certainly looked like it had a stinger.

I did apologize, though.

Aw, poor Squeaky. I guess it's soft food from now on.

Tom, my friend C's cat had to have all her teeth extracted. Diabetes related, I think. She carried on happily (and happily eating dry chow).

Quick comments:

Is it possible we could have "Community" at the buffistas? I'm not sure we are ready for that.

Hil, how have you been?

PETA-files? man, PETA is really going off the rails these days.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Would you people fund me for a trip to go here and also see msbelle?? Kidding, kidding.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I did sign up for a course on Coursera, called The Modern and the Postmodern. We'll see if I get through the initial reading, which is Rousseau, Kant, and Marx.

Challenging coursework! I had a hard enough time with those guys when I was 20. Actually, Marx is fairly straighforward and interesting. Rousseau is all rhetorical and hopped up on his own jazz. Kant is some dense reading, though.

Of course that's what I sent back to my coworker when she sent me the first one!
