I heard it never rains in California.

Just the other day as a matter of fact.

That's not rain -- that's precipitation.

Share your biscotti with me and we'll renegotiate.

Sure... just dip it in your capuccino if it's too hard.

I just registered for the Jeopardy contestant pool for the Madison tryouts.

I'll find out in the next few weeks if I'm granted an interview.

Yike. I must be insane.

I forgot that my favourite cereal is Golden Grahams

Ooooohhhhhh, I love Golden Grahams.

I used to really dig Honeycomb about 15 years ago or so. I'm not really sure Weird Tingly Feeling I was thinking.

my cat keeps begging me to feed him, but he's on a diet! fat fucker.

Demosthenes · « **Reply #160 on:** March 07, 2005, 10:17:25 AM »

We have two cats. One of them has a really sensitive stomach. We've found over time that the time he's most likely to barf is within a half hour or so of eating.

We feed our cats a spoonful of canned food every day after we get home from work. They wolf that down pretty quick. The one with the sensitive stomach sometimes brings it right back up.

I've learned my lesson over the years. They get their food in the basement. I feed them, then I close the door and lock the cat-door when I come back upstairs.

I leave them both down there for 30-45 minutes or so.

That way, if one or both of them hurls, it's on cement, not on furniture, carpet, or other valued items.

The cat with the sensitive stomach HATES being locked in the basement. He raises total hell.

Now he's caught on.

When I feed them now, it's really difficult to get him to go down into the basement.

So I've just started leaving him be. If he wants his canned food, he goes downstairs with me and lets me close him in for a half hour. If he doesn't want to be closed in down there, he gets no canned food.

Problem solved.

ivan · « **Reply #161 on:** March 07, 2005, 12:23:04 PM »

My cats don't hurl with any reliability, so it always catches me by surprise.

There are some experiences that are pleasant from start to finish. Other experiences start out unpleasant and stay that way. Then there are some that start out nasty, but get better as the experience progresses. And, finally, there are experiences that start out very pleasurably, but quickly deteriorate into something disgusting.

Stepping into fresh catbarf with bare feet in the dark belongs in the last category. In the first nanosecond at the leading edge of the experience, the sensitive nerves in your toes transmit a pleasurable sensation. But before you can enjoy it, the brain kicks in with the realization of what just happened.

BTW, this only applies to that dryish kind of catbarf that holds the shape of the cat's esophagus. Slimy puddles and hairballs are immediately disgusting when stepped on.

Ugh. Bill pukes all the time too. If he wasn't so fat I'd think he was bulemic.

A married couple has been living together for a few years and the wife has always complained about the size of her breasts. Every morning she would stand in front of the mirror and complain to her husband that they were too small. So after countelss days of having the listen to the complaining every mornning the husband offered her this advice: "Honey, every morning take a bit of toilet paper and rub it in between your breasts. Do this and they'll be sure to grow!' Naturally she was skeptical, but tried it out.

Every morning for two months she'd get up, stand in front of the mirror and run toilet tissue in between her breasts. Eventually she got fed up and complained "This isn't working at all! They're not getting any bigger!" to which her husband responded "Well I don't know what the problem is. It worked for your ass!"

Another fun little political quiz.

http://www.orgburo.com/pofoquiz/pofo.php

Here's what I got:

Quote

Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers you an individually-orientated, theist, small-government, nationalist, kind of person.

These characteristics would put you in the overall category of borderline nationalist.

Here's the one I found most interesting:

Quote

You scored 52 out of 100 on a scale of Absolutist vs Non Absolutist. This means that politically you are neither more nor less likely to believe that there is an absolute truth that may guide your ideological beliefs.

So am I a "flip-flopper" or just True Neutral?
