Man, New Yorkers are fucked up. Here, it's more like "Oh, good idea! Let's put all the toys in a big communal circle!"

All y'all have sucky stupid names. Except me. And anyone who shares my name.

I would attribute the growing popularity of Freya/Freja to Mary Balogh, but I'm biased.

I'm hearing "Don't let him use that, that's yours" in a somewhat shrill and abrasive accent.

I think it's time for a coffee break.

Not quite the same reversal, but my little cat has always terrorized my big one. Squirting doesn't really help, unless you are around them with a spray bottle 24/7. The vet suggested pampering the little one a bit - petting him first, feeding him first, etc - so he didn't feel the need to assert territoriality so much. That worked minimally well at best; the little one still jumps on the big one most of the time.... except, every couple of weeks or so, the big one seems to figure out "I can kick this little pussy's ass" and proceeds to do just that.

My view -- no point in fighting the pecking order/food chain. They'll figure it out themselves, and if they get too annoying you can always microwave 'em.

Have you tried shaving?

Confidential to Sidd Finch: Get your brat's grabby paws off my kid's Tonka, or I'll have the Berkeley posse give you a beat-down that would make the LAPD give a low, impressed whistle. It'll look like the scene from "A Clockwork Orange," but they'll be singing "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore."

I'll take Grey Poupon. I'm weird that way though.

(love the grey poupon...)

I would've figured you'd go for the 'tang.

Speaking of which, in honour of the Tour d'France and the fact that I have started wearing a kilt on a semi-regular basis, I shaved my legs yesterday.

Carry on.

I'll take the Steak n' Shake Frisco Melt.

Pussy advice
 

first of all, I get the Tang. It reminds me of college - tang and tequila (remember those days...when you could afford alcohol, but not mixer?)

Second - never name your kid Penske or Sybil - same effect.

Since no one has it yet, I'm on the Klondike bars.

Weird on so many levels.

Maille is much better (on food, anyway).

Why waste money on mixer?

Dude, you're so mangling a bunch of languages in that clause.

A fine step up from the dated "business casual," I think.

I'm adding some pearl onions.

Because tequila is undrinkable otherwise (for me at least - it makes me barf).

In other news...for those of you who have not had enough Simon Cowell...

NEW YORK, July 7 — With his new dating game, “Cupid,” Simon Cowell may have everything going for him but timing. The “American Idol” villain premieres “Cupid” on CBS this Wednesday in the midst of a desultory summer of reality programming. There’s a glut of series, none particularly good and none breakout hits.
THE DANGER FOR Cowell is getting lost in the quicksand - that viewers numbed by “For Love or Money” or “Paradise Hotel” won’t give his program a chance.
After having seen several American networks initially pass on “American Idol” before it became a hit, Cowell — never afraid to offer his opinion, anyway — is confident of this one.
LOSERS ON PARADE
Cowell brings one of the most compulsively watchable aspects of “American Idol” to “Cupid.” Just as the Fox show gives you a chance to cringe at, or mock, embarrassingly bad singers, “Cupid” will let you see all the losers that try to date Ms. Right.
Don’t expect wine and roses, romantic nights shown with a soft-focus camera lens.
“I know what the dating scene is like in real life,” Cowell said. “Unfortunately, it’s not medieval castles and red rose ceremonies. I wish! It’s not. It’s about humiliation and ego and jealousy - all those things I think we understand.”

losers on parade...I love that line - full story here

Please. That would be crass.

Shaving the pussies? No, I've not tried that. I don't think they would appreciate a waxing either.

Tequila shots make you barf, but tequila mixed with Tang (with enough tequila to get you drunk) is A-OK? Huh.

I agree that tequila is not a good-tasting substance, and I don't like drinking lots of margaritas etc. because I always end up with a headache.

Wow
 

These things are freaking hideous. The idea of high-heeled flip-flops is revolting enough, who would pay $85 for a pair of them?



“At the time we were sort of like, OK, here’s a new shoe, and it’s a flip-flop and it has a heel and it’s 85 dollars,” she said. “I think that we didn’t think that much of it until this whole popularity boom started happening.”

But then the flip-flop got a good mention in the New York Times, and suddenly too many people were chasing too few flip-flops.

Keep in mind, some people have no problem spending hundreds of dollars on a pair of shoes. Some will even spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of flip-flops. In that universe, 85 bucks is a steal.

Who the hell would pay hundreds of dollars for flip flops?

Pussy advice
 

Well no, not A-OK, but almost drinkable. I'll admit, it wasn't exactly tasty, but again, it was college. I drank a lot of things that didn't taste good in the interest of a good buzz. Even shooters of 151 weren't as bad as that tequila-spend-the-night-barfing-in-someone's-front-yard incident.

Wow
 

What? Are you telling me it's already July and I don't have a pair of summer's hottest shoe? My god where have I been?

Pussy advice
 

It may be that the bath is changing the smell of the attacked cat so smaller cat thinks there is a new interloper present.

Two littermates I know had this problem when one got taken to the vet and the sib stayed home. Owner now takes both to vet whether or not doc actually examines both. Problem solved.

post deleted because I got worried.

Wow
 

Flip flops are $4 shoes -- that is part of the fun of wearing them all summer. When you only spend $4 a pair, you have that much more money to spend on your toes. For $85, I can get about 3 pair of cute flip flops, a bottle of polish in a shade that matches each pair, and 3 pedicures (before tip).

But then again, I really know how to live. If other women have to seek status through their plastic shoes, who am I to judge?

Edited to remove name brand. I try not to brand-name drop.

I'm a fan. When she looks up, sees the streak approaching her and says in perfect deadpan, "oh shit." It was classic FB cool.

edited to add that it's refreshing to see Rebecca Gayheart in a role where she' supposed to be acting like a corpse.

Does anybody else find the tone of that web site a mite familiar? Is PLF moonlighting?

pisco sour
 

Positively creepy. The condescending tone, the insults...all very familiar indeed.

Ok - Now I am worried. I think that would be way too much of a coincidence, but I am going to delete my original post just in case. I just thought it was funny, but perhaps there is only one person out there advocating the pisco sour summer of 2003.

That web site is so obviously mine.

I'm more partial to the times when we go away for vacation and the doggie gets to go to the pet hotel for a few days whilst kitty gets total control and ownership over the house. Upon return from the pet hotel, doggie is not looked upon fondly by kitty who then proceeds to bite doggie's long, floppy ears.

All is not well in the minutes that follow.
