Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Is the Fresh and Light noticeably lighter to haul around?

I don't have any trouble lifting it and I'm not particularly strong, YMMV of course. I feel like a comparable amount is not as heavy as A&H and does the job just as well.

Oh, old school Starsky and Hutch? I've wondered if I've dared rewatch those.

Our wings are not tired.

I've never watched Starsky & Hutch. There was about a decade where television pretty much never happened. Likely S&H was in that time period. There are lots of series on DVD now that I have never seen even a single episode. Most are in the probably 'didn't miss anything' category.

eta: don't know if Starsky and Hutch are in that category. Might have to be on my retirement viewing list.

I loved old school Starsky&Hutch. I haven't watched it since its original run, though, I don't know how I'd like it now!

Thanks, Zen. I think I will try to get over to Petco tomorrow and hope they have multiple options I can compare.

I'm not sure what magic I am even looking for, maybe I'll know it when I see it. But I need rabbit food anyway and I have Petco reward $ to spend.

I don't know how it compares in weight to others, but I like the modestly named World's Best Cat Litter. It's made from corn cobs, I think.

Starsky and Hutch were my first slash, and I didn't even know slash existed back then.

t- I have used the Tidy Cat Lightweight. It was definitely easier to haul around, but I found it much more dusty as well. I ended up going back to the regular stuff.

Thanks, bennett, hadn't considered that variable.

I've been using Swheat scoop, and it's fine, but I feel like I have to buy it every time I turn around unless I get 25 pounds at a time and that is just a lot to lug into the house.

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

Starsky and Hutch were my first slash, and I didn't even know slash existed back then.

They are very handsy. I have not one issue with the tone of the movie. Come on!

I find it interesting, the difference in expectations in the genre. S&H (this is season 1) almost feels more naturalistic, although we were supposed to think they were badasses, right? 2014 asks a lot more of its actioners. Rooms don't get cleared, so many people get shot in the back with no mention, never mind any of the gun hygiene TV has fed us in the last ten years.

And clearly no one is hitting the gym for their shirtless scenes, or even just to make the fence-jumping scenes look better--the stunt swapping is sloppy (Starsky's double has a monobrow), and the bits the guys do themselves shaky.

I have to admit, even though I saw some during the time it was airing, I was too young to know the show's intentions, and am judging it in a post Hills St Blues world, never mind NYPD Blue and The Wire.

But they went white cop-black kid shooting pretty damned fast, not to mention addicting Hutch to drugs. The tone is very uneven.
