Vanilla is an extremely complex flavor made from over 250 chemical compounds, and yet we use it as a synonym for simple and boring.
I think I saw something about this recently It has to do with its over use in everything.

When hitting on a stranger at a bar, try ordering them an appetizer instead of a drink. After all, it's a lot harder to roofie a mozzarella stick than a drink.

The worst part about being arrested by a motorcycle cop is having to hug him from behind all the way back to the station.
Wait is that really a thing? I feel like they would phone in a car. How do they handcuff you that way... so many questions!

The plot to Thor: Ragnarok can be summarized as someone destroying his own planet because he didn't want to share it with his sister after she broke his favorite toy.
I could of just watched the first 5 minutes of the movie on a loop while listening to Led Zeppelin and been perfectly happy.

Not that you need reminding, but cats are just plain better than dogs (evidenced here)

A collection of photos we took of our childhood cat, more recently brought to the Almighty Internet for all to see. Wow, I don't like old pictures of myself looking back on them.

Much as I enjoyed Thor: Ragnarok, I can't dispute that one.

Awww such a cute kitty... *goes to nuzzle*
Naughty though too...there was a cat in the tree that didn't want to come down incident, no?
But the pic where she lies flat on someone's shin gives such fuzzy feelings!
And the cat on back thing is just adorable, as well as the cat in the sack.
How did it feel like to have a cat on your back?

Depends on what you're looking for in a pet. Cats have a more independent nature and are quite happy being left alone while dogs will keep pestering you to play with them.
People walk their dogs, but you've never heard of anyone walking their cats, have you?

I wasn't going to shove onions in their eyes. Just put them you know, some way below their noses.
On personal experience, the last time I had to peel a load of onions, I actually wore goggles.
I know soaking in water would get rid of the chemical syn-propanethial-S-oxide that causes you to tear, but since we're frying them later for fried shallots, it would cause an awful lot of splattering when wet onion comes into contact with oil.

Oh, there were plenty of those incidents. She always wanted to go outside, but we didn't want her eaten or run over. So we trained her to walk with a leash. (Eventually we learned how to keep her safe without, which made things easier.) Walking a cat isn't like how you'd do it with a dog; they lead and you follow, even off the streets, the leash is just there so they don't get too far ahead. Though some people just try to drag a poor kitty around on a lead. Those poor abused kitties....
She loves being everywhere around her pets (us), so she'll sometimes cozy up even if we're standing. That leads to her jumping on our backs, and we go with it because she's the boss. Leah's never weighed more than 8 pounds so she's not bad on the back, unless she decides to roost there for a while. It's quite nice until then; you can feel her purr.
Nonsense. Dogs are superior in every way.
Let the games BEGIN!
Nah, I get why some prefer dogs. Repent....

Even having had some really good cats in my time, nothing loves you quite as unrequitedly as a dog. And that feeling is quite heartwarming and special.
I am not a pet person I did have a beta named Musashi. he was a good fish.
He was a Betta. he was blue and silver mostly. He would do tricks when he felt like it. I could put his little food pellet on my finger above his tank and he would jump up and grab it. plus he would follow my finger from his bowl and flare at me like he wanted to fight.

I didn't know they could jump like that. I thought only carp, salmon and flying fish jumped out of the water.

He couldn't make it terribly high but I've seen videos of them jumping hoops (granted the bottom of the hoop was touching the water but still.)

Cats forever.
Hey Freehold, you aren't too much older then me! I expected you'd be closer to NH's age actually.So last night we went and saw Jethro Tull's 50th anniversary concert, which was pretty special because Shiro first saw them back in '78, and has been to every 10-year tour since then, and Tull's Crest of the Knave tour was NobodysWife's first concert experience.
So many, many memories. And oh, did Tull exploit it ruthlessly. The entire first act was a walk down memory lane, with many songs from their first few albums, and video "visits" by a lot of former band members (over its 50-year lifetime, Tull has had THIRTY-SIX band members!).
The *only* critique I can offer (and I'm afraid it's a significant one) is that Ian Anderson's voice hasn't withstood the test of time. We saw Bob Seger at 70+ a couple of years ago, and he was amazing; his voice was lower, and gravellier, and he made full use of his "new" vocal range to put on a heck of a show.
Mr. Anderson (hee hee hee) has managed to keep the same timbre in his voice, but he's lost a lot of volume and longevity, so he frequently sounded out of breath, or just dropped notes too early because he couldn't maintain them. Yes, running around a stage at 70, prancing around like a twentysomething, and playing a flute while standing on one leg is amazing, and he did use some video duets to great effect to enhance his voice. But I wonder whether perhaps changing the key or otherwise modifying the songs a bit a la Seger would have been more effective.Anyway, great show, a wonderful trip down memory lane, and watching a bunch of 70-year-olds put on an excellent rock concert gives me hope for my own senescence...
EDIT: And if you don't go to Tull naked, should you even be there at all?
i was born in 1978.
No idea who you are talking about, really...
Lol! She called Freehold old!
Wait a minute, I'm slightly older then Freehold... Hey!
I am slightly younger than Freehold.
Yes, he is old.
quiet, you!

Our dog can (and has) tracked down our kids from a mile away with minimal amount of training.
I'd like to see a cat do that.
Cats are wonderfully complex animals, and super adorable, but I'll never understand why people insist on comparing them to dogs.
Dogs are best.

Siamese.
I used to share a house with a woman who had two Siamese cats and they were the yowliest, noisiest, pester-you-just-because-they-wanted-to-annoy creatures ever. Not just when they were hungry.They got told to shut up frequently. Not just by me.

Also, mort seems not only to be able to talk, but type.
I think she may be a meowth. From that funky region in the newest pokemon.

Every night after we go to bed. Vai thinks she's lost us. We have to call her name so that she'll come into the bedroom, realize that's where we are, and then she'll be ok.
Meiko...fairly quiet unless she wants food. And then she'll invade your dreams.

What's funny is that is exactly why I hate owning a dog.
I don't need something that loves me unrequitedly unreservedly; it's like turning on Cheat Mode in a game.
Give me an animal where I actually have to earn its trust and love, not something hardwired to adore me.
