I'm not sure if you're saying that cats never know their names, or if yours don't know their names. *shrug* My cats know their names and respond to them. Makes for a fun game of Marco Polo sometimes.

"A living cartoon". Well-said. They're what neo-cons wish the fifties were.

I cannot put into words just how much I loathe the phrase "pre-born". It's not a "pre-born baby", it's a fetus. Full fucking stop.

Sounds like part of a Denis Leary bit about how his kids named the dog Pongo.

...I've only changed my pet's shelter name once. I typically adopt older animals, so I presume they've responded to that name their whole life, and that it would be confusing to change it. They're already going through enough upheaval without that added change.

Yasser Aracat? That's fantastic.

That's awesome! :D

My three-legged cat was named Tripod. I wanted to cut whoever did that. Do we really want to highlight what's missing? Jeez. He was renamed shortly after adoption to something much less...pejorative.

Except that some brands bend to the pressure and voila, nothing fits anymore. The real moral of the story? Learn to use a sewing machine, or have the number of a good seamstress/tailor on hand.

We prefer the term "ingenious", thank you :P

So in agreement. After being married to someone who can't seem to get his head out of his ass and be a contributing grown-up in a marriage, I'd rather be alone than continue like this. I love the guy, but it makes me so angry that I'm carrying way more than my share of the weight, and that he doesn't seem to see how…

How long do you give a guy to learn those basic damn skills, though? At what point is it still teachable, and at what point is he just being an irredeemably lazy asshole?

My backup husband requires triple-A batteries. He may be no better at doing chores than my current husband, but he's a lot tidier.

The suit Jacqueline Murdock is wearing in the photo at your link is absolutely stunning, and she is rocking the everloving shit out of it. Wow. The rest of them all look like they're playing dress-up by comparison. I think it helps that there's a very early 60s feel to the cut, and I have no trouble believing she wore…

Nothingburgers?

I hope the servers got it all.

Looking at it, I get "Pretty In Pink" stuck in my head. Dammit.

All of the stars. Well played.

Please let it be Fluevogs. Please let it be Fluevogs.

And holy god, the cojones on him, to position himself as up there with Hemingway. My feelings about Hemingway as a person aside, he probably produced better work during a bad head cold than Sparks does on his best day.
