As stood cooking brats on the grill under the supervision of my neighbor's cat, Maggie*, and watching the new stray Croak Monsieur** eat again...
...it occurred to me that if someone needed to get rid of a human body, and pigs and piranhas weren't available, a pack of hungry Maine Coons could at least strip the flesh off the bones in short order. This one is a doofy lovable teddy bear of a cat, but holy crap he can eat large quantities and frequently.
* Nominally my neighbor's cat, because she decided to mostly live here now.
** Also decided to live here now.

I could have watched a good movie tonight. Instead, I chose to watch Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
I LOVE that movie!
At least I did when it first came out in... 1978...
...hmm... I was 11. I just might not have had the best of taste back then...

the distance between the thought "Hey, weird biped that feeds us, do you have more tasty seeds for me?" and the thought "I really want to eat you face right now" are much closer together than humans realize.
Not all humans are so... limited...

Maggie looks very similar to Sneaker, the more melee-focussed of our two mogs.

As I get towards the end of my snow route (minimum of 12 hours) I inevitably see a truck behind me and think "that's weird, who's following me?!" Only to realize a second later that it is in fact, my truck.

Driving on a Snowbius Strip?
I'll show myself out...
It is basically a long U shape street with a cul-de-sac in the middle with 42 houses all with 2 or 3 car garages and a long strip of city sidewalk on the top with an additional 7 houses along that.

I've become so used to communicating with everyone in my life via texts (which I dictate into my phone), that on the occasions I have to speak to someone face to face, I have caught myself saying the words "comma" and "period" in the middle of a conversation.
More than once.
It's a bit embarrassing.
Clearly the solution is to stop using punctuation in texts.

I have literally said aloud "LOL" in a conversation. I never wanted to sink into the ground and disappear as fast as I did at that moment.

If an Arnold Palmer is iced tea and lemonade, I'm trying to figure out what kind of drink an Amanda Palmer would be. It would probably have to include absinthe.

If an Arnold Palmer is iced tea and lemonade, I'm trying to figure out what kind of drink an Amanda Palmer would be. It would probably have to include absinthe.
How about:
"The Amanda Palmer" (aka "La Tour Eiffel" by Gary "Gaz" Regan)
1/4 oz red absinthe
2 1/2 oz XO cognac
1/2 oz Cointreau
1/2 oz Suze
Garnish: lemon twist
1) Pour the absinthe into a chilled Champagne flute, tilting and rotating the glass to coat the interior.
2) Add a few ice cubes to the flute and set aside.
3) Add the cognac, Cointreau and Suze into a mixing glass with fresh ice and stir until well-chilled.
4) Discard the ice and any excess absinthe from the prepared flute and strain the drink into it.
5) Garnish with a lemon twist.

After watching season 2 of Star Trek: Picard, I'd be curious to know what kind of drink an Amanda Plummer would be. I assume it would be red, and you'd serve it with a model set of a Star Trek ship bridge made of gingerbread or graham crackers or waffle cone. After you finish the drink, you immediately eat the confectionery scenery.
What about a Laura Palmer?

What about a Laura Palmer?
Would have to include coffee liqueur and cherry brandy, and something woodsy/smoky, like a peaty scotch. Garnished with an owl pellet.
I didn't say it would taste good.

In a squirrel brain, the distance between the thought "Hey, weird biped that feeds us, do you have more tasty seeds for me?" and the thought "I really want to eat you face right now" are much closer together than humans realize.
I feel we've made progress. Largest squirrel, which I've taken to calling Ross, now looks at me in the morning and thinks "I could make a second home in that large floofy tumbleweed growing on Ms Two-Legger's head."
Had to taste check the apples this morning. I found a bag of Fuji apples that I'd forgotten in the porch fridge for several months. The skin on some has some faint wrinkles, but they still seemed edible. I knew Dad wasn't going to eat them, so Sunday I tried cutting up half an apple into small bits to put out for the squirrels along with the bird seed. The squirrels loved them, and have been getting bonkers rowdy competing over them and/or playing. I tried a couple bits myself this morning to find out if they'd fermented and I'd been making the squirrels drunk. Nope, not fermented. I guess they just really like apples.
Up to 10-11 squirrel regulars now and nearly that many assorted birds.

I think it's a bit bold to assume that it's my origin/emprincessing, when it seems to clearly be Darth Princess Ross or one of the other squirrels.

Don't you hate it when you get a new idea for a piece of moderately-juicy smut, so you start writing it down, and adding little supporting bits of smut, and then you flesh out the characters backgrounds & personality to make their actions more believable, and then humor sneaks in, and then you add in conflicts & resolutions that have nothing to do with smut, and some more humor sneaks in but not smutty... and then you realize you've turned it into something disturbingly like an actual story?
Ugh, I hate it when that happens.

Now no one can 'tweet'.
''What will be the new name for a tweet once Twitter changes its name to X?''
Musk replied saying, ''An X.''
Nah, what was once a Tweet is now an eXcretion. And after decades of Microsoft and Apple conditioning, an X means "close the window."

Impus Major and I were having a wonderful discussion about the implications of this.
Are video shares going to be xvideos?
Are discussions going to be xchats?
I think Elon needs to buy the .xxx domain to make sure he has exclusive access to xvideos.xxx, xchat.xxx, xpictures.xxx, and whatever else he can think of.
I'm sure advertisers will love it.
