Long-gone microchipped cat finds owner

A cat with an ID microchip implanted under his skin was returned to his owner 10 years after he jumped out a window and vanished.

When the pair reunited Wednesday, the cat "rubbed his face on my hand, climbed right up and started purring," Inglis said. "It's pretty monumental. It's almost surreal."

Inglis remembers that one of the things he and Ted liked to do was cruise around in his car. On their way home from the shelter, Inglis said Ted "put his front paws on the dashboard," just like in the old days.

If Toonces were my cat I'd be sure that all my windows had screens.

Today I found out that the "Man" is working on new ways to control and disperse crowds. So the Pentagon is hard at work on the world's worst stink bomb. They've been doing extensive testing on a universal stink. See some stinks that stink here might not stink as much as some stink stinks for other cultures. Like vomit stink might smell like fine cheese stink or something somewhere. The Pentagon settled on human waste combined with rotting meat combined with garbage. Universally people say uch! to that. Next step is to research the best way to drop it as a stink bomb. Coming soon to a rally near you.

No. And don't call me, either. Remember, it's only government action from which you are safe.

I joined the state do not call list and generally no one bugs me. I don't answer the phone at home anyway, unless I'm expecting a call at a specific time. That's why caller ID and voicemail was invented. If they leave a message and I want to talk to them, I'll call them back. I don't answer the door unless I'm expecting someone either. I just wait until they go away. It reduces a lot of aggravation.

I like to answer the door with a barking 85-pound German Shephard. If it's someone trying to sell me something, I just say, "What? I can't hear you over the barking!"

This is good; charities include the religious. So I can still come over and offer to fold your laundry?

Almost anyone without a criminal record can come over to my house and fold my laundry. Hell, I'll even provide a nice snack.

Religious types--sure, if I get the equal opportunity to proselytize my atheistic views and how patriarchal underpinnings of your faith (because believe me, unless you're Wiccan there probably are some) have cruelly made the lives of millions of women throughout history a miserable hole of oppression and needless suffering.

Or if you personally growl savagely at them, it will scare them even worse.

They will also need to make it strong enough to be detected in a fog of patchouli and kind. And concentrated enough so that it does not get dispersed by the movements of aztec dancers. Perhaps they could add a little paprika.

For the record, Jessica Simpson's tummy bubbles are just air. Like Gigli, there is no stink involved. This just makes the thought of anal sex with Jessica Simpson that much more appealing.

OK gang, it's Friday. I found something on Ebay - it's not a ghost in a jar, but it's a cool airplane home....airplane home

The First Airplane Home is currently being installed in TN outside of Dollywood and will be completed by the summer. This home will be made available to the public as a resort rental property.
The airplane is 153 feet from nose to tail and will rotate inside of a one-acre lot.

The Airplane Homes are made to be up in the wind. Some hilltop lots are not suited for a conventional homes but are ideal for an airplane home. Hurricane Proof, the airplane home can survive a hurricane - and no plywood window covers required.

I believe the phone company has such a service. They at least have one where you have to speak your name and then it rings. I think they also have one where you have to enter a code. Not that I want my outrageously large phone bill getting any bigger, though.

This is cool!

(But, I have had nightmares with the planning and inspections people when moving an outlet by the pool. I can imagine approaching them with this.)

Taking the mobile home to new heights. Though I must admit the appeal of inviting Jessica Simpson to my cockpit.

And actually, it's reasonably prices for a 1200 sf house.
I like this part...It is our intention to deliver and set the airplane up on a column and bearing arrangement so it weathervanes. You can let your aircraft freely rotate if you like. When the wind changes direction enough to rotate the aircraft, the whole aircraft rotates smoothly. The motors have built in counterweights that insure smooth starts and stops rotations.

Cue the music: "People all over the world/join hands/start a Love Train (love train) ..."


On an unrelated note, sad to see that Robert Palmer kicked off. First concert I ever went to see (early 80s) was him. Probably still have the T-shirt somewhere.

He wasn't a genius. His singing wasn't notably good. But he was likeable and listenable nonetheless.

I thought she was the one with the cockpit?
