I blame Cosmo that I keep watching the Full House of Moustaches video. It's unsettling, it's likely inflicting SAN damage/drain with every viewing, and yet I keep clicking replay.

I blame Cosmo that I accidentally made the very hungry stray kitty eat a fly.
For dinner last night, I made a pot of great northern beans & ham for Dad, and I made tuna salad for Mom. I saved the tuna juice, poured it into a little tray, and put it out for the hungry stray kitty when he wanders by. It has been raining off and on, so he didn't come by last night, and his tuna juice was still untouched this morning. When I left at noon to do my pet walking job, I noticed a big fat fly had landed it in and drowned. I was running late, and I didn't have time to fish Mr. Fly out before I left. When I got home, stray kitty had been by and lapped the tuna juice up... and Mr. Fly was gone too, so I guess hungry kitty got a little extra protein.

Cosmo, it's raining. You've made your point. Please stop.
Now I have a mental picture of Cosmo cackling like Klaw in Black Panther. "I made it rain!"
Which is Cosmo's fault, obviously.

Cosmo. Dude. We need to talk. My company has other IT employees, and they're perfectly capable of doing work.
I'm not the only one you have to send to the Virginia office. Again. The only person in IT that travels more than me is the CIO.
I mean, we know you have considerable, if not unlimited, pull at my company, so can't you find someone else?
Please?

I Blame Cosmo for... whatever that was last night.
Also hope you had fun ^w^
Is it kosher to Blame Cosmo for something which was actually somewhat his fault?
I Blame Cosmo for Rysky making me pose difficult ethical questions!

I blame Cosmo that Vany has not considered doing his IT duties while channeling Willem Defoe's Tars Tarkas:
Vany: {pats server rack} "You are ugly, but you are beautiful. And you fight like a Thark!"
Vany: {every 30 seconds:} "Vor... ginya. Vorginya!"
Vany: {gestures to surroundings} "But Vorginya fights for us! He will fight the Torquas in the south. The Warhoons in the north! And he will be called Dotar Sojat!"
That should stop you from being dispatched to that particular office.
And if that fails to work, start channeling Willem Dafoe's Norman Osborn.

It might work, and if it doesn't, and the oxygen plant fails, at least Disney's 'John Carter' will rot, unremembered and unloved, on the dead canal bottoms of a decaying world.

Cosmo, I don't care what everyone on the planet says about you, you're ok. You made the new guy go out to the Virginia office this time rather than me. We're cool.
Vany goes outside, checks the brake lines and lug nuts on his car, double checks underside for explosives.
We're cool.

I had TWO mini bobcats on site to choose from.
Not wanting to play favorites I switched back and forth between them.
I blame Cosmo that this was how I immediately pictured it (with Bollywood robotic Yesterday).

Cosmo, aren't you supposed to be blocking links like that? Get on it, man. I should not have been able to click that and scar my family for life. (I'm fine, of course, but my family is yelling at me.)

1d4 ⇒ 2 goblin babies blame Cosmo that we are so confused. We thought the spoiler was a mime, not a clown, and the front air dam was a harlequin.
Also, 1d4 ⇒ 1 goblin babies also blame Cosmo that we couldn't figure out how to shoehorn a Pagliacci joke in here somewhere.

There's only three of us in the household, so we often can't finish a gallon of milk before the expiration date. Usually, this means I'll pick up a fresh gallon when the old one hits the expiration date.
I blame Cosmo that after I pick up a fresh gallon, I can't convince my dad to stop drinking the expired milk. I don't care that the expired milk doesn't taste off yet. The new milk is slowly ticking towards its future expiration date; while he's drinking expired milk now, there will be that much more milk left in the newer gallon when its expiration date arrives.
I also blame Cosmo that throwing out the expired milk makes Dad grumpy.
I also also blame Cosmo that Dad bypassing the fresh milk to drink expired milk drives me nuts.

I am of two minds about that. One is that we shouldn't be drinking expired anything. The other is that expiration dates are a LOT of guesswork, and once financial enticements make their way in, guessing goes out the window, and intentionally wrong dates that will enhance profits walk in through the front door.

Expiration dates for milk vary greatly for the state/county they wind up in, even if they're from the same batch.
It's total bonkers. Cosmo would approve.
(I recommend going by smell)

That's the thing though, Dad's taster* and sniffer aren't very keen anymore (his hearing is worse). It has to be pretty far along before he can detect it.
* Except for spicy heat. His taste buds are keen enough that he can detect spiciness in things that have no spiciness at all.

I'm pretty sure that much of it has to do with me finding more and more things irritating as I get older.
I would blame Cosmo for that, but there is one thing worse than getting older. Best not to test the Hand of He Who Must Be Blamed.
However, I will blame Cosmo for my fear of testing Cosmo.

I blame Cosmo that I have two teenage boys in the house so a gallon of milk doesn't last between my walking in the front door and starting to put the groceries away.
Expiration date? What's that?

Heh. When I was a kid, my mother had a woman come in every Thursday to clean the house. So every Wednesday Mom cleaned the house. After all, wouldn't want the cleaning lady to think we were slobs.

Why not get a smaller container of milk?

We have a cleaning service come every other Wednesday, and every other Tuesday we make a mad dash to clean up some for them. If they can't get to the counter top, they won't clean it. They aren't expected to do the dishes, and it's not their fault we've let them pile up. The cat toys need to be out of the way so they can vacuum. Stuff like that. We'd have to pay way more than we can afford if we wanted them to do the full service thing.
It still feels a little silly to be cleaning for the cleaning service, but it's the nature of the beast. It's how Cosmo deemed it necessary.

I remember puberty. Milk was so important I used to wake up solely to drink it, then go back go sleep.
