I found the place where PLF's avatar will go to die.

"We want you to enjoy the clothes of the cat of CAT PRIN as follows by the reason for calling it ... " I speak for us all when I say, WTF?

Oh well if we're doing that then let me tell you about the train ride home last night...So who's idea is it to put bars/straps above people's head so that when they're sweating like pigs you have to have your face in their armpits? I mean really - last night it was packed...PACKED and a bunch of guys with dress shirts, tanks tops, all sweaty holding the bars above their heads? OMG I almost suffocated! And why why why to people fart toxic gas when it's crowed and already smelling bad? OK, got that out of my system - hopefully I get a seat tonight.

Ooh yes, I hated that when I lived in the city. Especially as it started to get warm. That mass of humanity. Frankly, I hate public transportation, except Amtrak, which is fine, you get your own seat and it is pretty comfortable, and I can normally just watch a movie on my laptop. Oh and my cell phone doesn't work half the time, so I have a peaceful ride to Philly.

You have my sympathies.

Anyone else want to kvetch? They will have my sympathies too.


Edited to say those cats have my sympathies too. If I did that to my cats, I would be afraid they would kill me in the night, and I would deserve it.

Kill you in the night? They'd probably kill you in the process of trying to cram a stupid leopard hat on their heads. Those cannot be real cats. I have never - ever seen a cat sit still while anyone put anything on their heads. Ever. I have seen many people try and fail - the cats always win.
But wouldn't that make a good movie? Cat's dressed in stupid furry hats sneaking into the bedroom to kill the owner with swiss army knives while the owner is blissfully asleep...ah yes - evil cat films - why hasn't someone done this already?

Remember, these are Asian cats. Thus, they are compliant and eager to please, but exotic and ultimately inscrutable.

Having sex with them is not a fetish, because to call it so would be dehumanizing to them.

Here is a link to the bunny ranch, which no doubt, I imagine, has pictures of nekked women on it. http://www.bunnyranch.net/

Speaking of having sex, remember, if you are a guy and you have sex with an Asian cat, it is the last step down the road to being a gay man. Just remember that.

I'm drinking all of the Diet Coke that Ty gave up.

Careful with the carbonated beverages. Too much can lead to gastronomic distress, the need for surgical removal of your gall bladder, etc

the cretinous hack-jobs that pass for "intelligent" commentary at once respected journals like Harpers or the Atlantic.

Although Harpers has fallen to whining, lefty sneers (you know its bad when Lapham gets emotional enough over the Bush-ies to get his history wrong), the Atlantic has had a lot of good work in the past few years. I credit much of that to the efforts of Michael "RIP" Kelly.

I'll grant you that editorials in general seem bad though. On the conservative side, editorials in the WSJ and Forbes are as bad as Harpers.

Brava. That was well done -- I especially like the re line tie in (though it makes me miss one of my favorite posters). I suppose it even makes up for your participation in the unfortunate outbreak of timmyism over "trope."

Someone was shocked recently when I revealed I own Metallica's "black" album. What can I say? My musical tastes are catholic.

Minor timmy note: "we" is first person plural, not second person. 1st = I/we; 2nd = thou/you; 3rd = he/she/it/they.

"Thirteen men and three women in uniform have shown up so far to claim their gifts. "

Don't ask, don't tell, don't pay, I suppose.

The Venetian.

Anyone stayed there?

How is it?

I guess it doesn't matter b/c we're already booked.

Vegas baby. Vegas.

Very nice, all the rooms are suites. Not cheezy, which sucked. Gimme Caesars with the mirron above the bed and the showers for two with the mood lighting any day.

Sweaty dudes in tank tops
Toxic farts on crowded trains

First, tank tops on men should be called what they are "wife beater shirts." 9 times out of ten, the dude getting hauled away for domestic violence has one on (or else has on no shirt at all). Wife beating is not funny -- calling tank tops wife-beater shirts is.

Second, I think people (read: men) drop bombs in crowded public places because they think it is funny and because they can do it anonymously. This is akin to the fact that every grown man will, at least once in his adult life but more than likely a whole bunch of times, fart in a store and then move away to a location where he can see the reaction of people when they walk through the mushroom cloud left by his bomb. Men like the anonymity unless they are with their buds in which case they will proudly declare and claim their bomb. I have never ever understood the fascination that men have with bodily sounds and odors. The funniest part is that most men have a twisted notion that being in love means being able to let one rip in your presence -- a truly committed relationship often includes a sheet-fluff to "share the wealth."

It's called "marking your territory".

Anyone else hear the story on NPR this weekend about new ring tones for cell phones? Yes, some sound like farts.

OK, it wasn't really a story on NPR it was on their news trivia game show, "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me".

Yeah, there's nothing I find more enjoyable then paddling a sea cow all weekend long.

Who named that boat?!
