Holy sticky-footed felines, Batman!

This was posted to Stuff on My Cat a little while ago …

… it might be a good idea to lock your screen doors and hide the birdies and fishies! Yikes!

Weird deliveries come by email

I got all kinds of weird things via email. Hell, half of them are from Uncle Monster. ;P hehehe… But he’s not the only one … I have a friend in CA who owns a little San Diego carpet cleaning company. He sent me a whole slew of stuff today (bored are we, George? ), including two pieces in the animal kingdom that caught my eye: apparently it’s not the feathers that makes a bird, and scientists work on fishing for the lazy. The first one kind of surprised me … I always thought peacock feathers were the ultimate end-all-be-all of sexy costumes of the animal world.

Shows what I know. :lol:

Senate says ‘no’ to guns on campus

Several local ‘Bama blogs are already steaming over news the proposed campus gun bill has been blocked by the Senate. A shame really, because personally I thought that was a pretty good damned idea! Per Erwin, it was “designed to discourage gunmen by making them aware someone could shoot back quickly.”

Ya damned skippy.

Something a little lighter

Very cute. :mrgreen:

Spice of Sci-Fi

And last but not least … because I have GOT to have something sci-fi every day, here’s a list of the six most brilliant “bite your head” dragons from science fiction.

Because dragons are cool, mmmkay?

I miss having a pet

I read lots of “cute” blogs every day, from Cute Overload to I Can Has Cheezburger. I get “cute” videos via RSS from YouTube and other various sources. Jim laughs and shakes his head whenever something strikes me as REALLY funny and I’m rolling in my chair.

Of course, I share all the REALLY cute content with him. (read: I subject him to the painful cuteness! LOL)

Somehow last night we got on the subject of pets. I told him that I missed having a pet. I’ve been nagging him for a while (as has Jessie) to perhaps get another dog (or two, or three, or ten, … :mrgreen: ) once we get a bigger place. He starts with the “they’re expensive, you’ll have to buy more food, yada yada yada, blah blah blah” spiel. I remember what it was like to have those responsibilities. I think sometimes he forgets that I grew up where it was normal to have dogs, cats, birds, fish, frogs, etc. as pets. (ALL AT ONCE!) It was no big deal to pick up goat feed and dog supplies and get gas all in the same shop.

So anyways … Jess and I will keep nagging away until he gives in.
