1. The United States Constitution:  A Graphic Adaptation by Jonathan Hennessey and Aaron McConnell

I personally would never have thought I could sit down and read a book about the Constitution but I read this one cover to cover in almost one sitting.  I learned several things I did not know, got a refresher on many others, and giggled a time or two as well.  VERY accessible and quite scholarly for a general overview.  

2. a mercy by Toni Morrison

This novel had a bit too much of a stream-of-consciousness feel to it for me to really love it. That being said, most parts of the story were very cohesive and very moving.  I liked getting the story from so many different perspectives, especially the perspectives of Florens and Lina. Heartbreaking, bitter, redemptive, and so horrifically indicative of what was to blossom from the first stirrings of indentured and slave labor.  I look forward to reading another of Morrison's books soon.

and you shall be entombed in a volcano of bananas

okay, the first is just mean

the second is simply weird

and the third is on the border way the hell on the other side of stupid as sh!t

nonetheless, enjoy!

too bad it wasn't a darwin award...

Stop me if you've heard this one...

a woman calls her country's equivalent of 9-1-1 and asks for help with her crossword puzzle

...here's your sign.

How about you???

I always love the McFly references

I have been sorely tempted again in my neverending quest to avoid becoming a complete loony-tunes seclusionist, this time by this:

The Wrap 920AV Video Eyewear...my dream come true

According to Cinematical's Erik Davis:

...you'll be able to watch video that provides an effect as if you're looking at a 60-inch monitor from nine feet away.

because i KNOW you missed it . . .

back to 187 Ways to Amuse a Bored Cat!

Isnt' 187 the police code for a homicide???  Anyway, moving on!

#176

Our cats like to play with a "toy" we built especially for them.  We got a 4-foot-high tree stump and securely nailed it to a 3-foot-square plywood base.  The base is covered with bath carpet.  On top of the stump, we attached a 2-foot-square plywood "perch," securely screwed into place and also covered with carpet.  using heavy elastic cord, we've hung stuffed felt toys (with catnip added to the stuffing) from the edge of the perch.  The toys are hung at different heights to provide a challenge to our cats.  When they're tired of batting the toys, they use the stump as a scratching post or for climbing practice.

A. and B., Fredericksburg, VA

Obviously what they've forgotten to mention is that they run a wildlife sanctuary.  Crikey!  Bink would NOT go for me hauling a stump into the house, plus she likes to be up high so she can peer down with disdain on people (as any good cat should).  What about termites and other bugs and germs and stuff...SPIDERS for crawling crying out loud!?!?!?  Climbing practice?  At 4 ft high? Wow, I hope the poor kitteh doesn't get vertigo.  Bink's cattree, I am proud to report, is 7 ft high and trumps your lousy stump any day!  Bink doesn't need practice because she goes ahead and just climbs.  Okay, enough bitchin'!

night ya'll!

O M G!!!!!!!! 2.0

if you didn't get a chance to enjoy this or any of the other wonders to behold at the Gallery of Regrettable Food, go now...I'll wait!

If you've had the good fortune to be fully, or mostly versed, in the Regrettable Food creed, imagine wrestling this bad boy onto the table here!

Picture it.  The cinnamon roll horror is jiggling slightly from the impact of setting it down.  It's also glistening in the glow from the Galaga light fixture, ready to be beamed up and teamed up.  I think the flowers would really set it off.  I also think the scent from the flowers would blend well with whatever scent that monstrosity is giving off.  Luckily, the vomit would show up vividly on the rug...10 points if you ring the flowers instead.   Who's house is this? :)  

Since it's too small to read, let me share the commentary on this design: "A variation of red, white and blue: Orange-red, white and blue is a delightful variation of the patriotic color medley.  Here it brightens a delightful country dining room, a composition of sleek modern and informal traditional furniture and accessories.  Geometric rugs by Magee."  

That's especially helpful for replacement after the barf-worthy meal.

ah, those bonny bygone days...
