A reader (appropriately named Dianna) whom I had the pleasure of meeting last night has kindly directed me to my next impulse buy.

Helping the blogfather organize tomorrow’s big party:

[13:11] chickatlitespeed: well, can I drop off the stuff at Zeke’s tomorrow? that’s not a problem
[13:11] Patrick: and leave it where in the mean time?
[13:11] chickatlitespeed: I’ll take it home
[13:12] Patrick: did you see the stuff?
[13:12] chickatlitespeed: no
[13:12] Patrick: how big is it?
[13:13] chickatlitespeed: if it fits in my car, I can move it
[13:13] Patrick: hehe
[13:13] chickatlitespeed: it’s not an issue. i have thomas coming over tonight, so I can get him to help me.
[13:14] chickatlitespeed: ;l=-
[13:14] Patrick: ok then. i’ll call zeke back. give him his afternoon off
[13:14] Patrick: what the hell is that smiley?!
[13:15] chickatlitespeed: it’s not a smiley
[13:15] chickatlitespeed: It’s me reaching over for my coffee and hitting the keyboard with my boobs.

Because it was in front of a museum of modern art, we thought that might be intentional when we saw it last June…

I love this kind of web meme. Cats watching cats watching cats watching…

(Thanks E.T.)

Plastic surgery dates back to 600 BC.
Crows like the taste of windshield wipers.
Brazilians are the most likely nationality to read spam.
Bill Clinton only sent two e-mails during his presidency.
Herrings break wind to communicate and keep the school together.

And 94 other things we didn’t know before 2004.

Use Google’s translation tool to translate “My mom is nice and cool” from English to Spanish, and back again.

(This meme brought to you by, appropriately, Mimi).

According to Tristan’s statistical analysis of how hard it is to find a girlfriend, there are 18726 suitable women in the world who would like to have a relationship with you (assuming your standards are the same as his). Whoo-wee! You stallion you!

But in order to find one of them, you’d have to go on a blind date every week for the next 67 years. Doh!

Yesterday online:

chickatlitespeed: So, do you think that can be seen as a date?
fumanchu: By a persistent Frenchman, definitely. Remember Pepe Le Pew!
chickatlitespeed: Pepe Le Pew…
fumanchu: Yeah, right now you’re the cat that inadvertently walked under the freshly-painted park bench.

Today, walking back from lunch with Bill:
Me: So I’ve been thinking about that cat in Pepe Le Pew… How stupid do you have to be anyway, to get painted white more than once!?
Bill: It’s not always the same cat.
Me: I think it is, she’s a character made up by Warner. She always looks the same, with the blue eyes.
Bill: She represents all French cats. All French ladies are the same! Does Pepe look like a one-cat skunk to you?
Me: I don’t know, she has the same voice… Le Miou, Le Meow…
Bill: Le Mew…
Me: Le Purrrrrrrrrrrr… And when she’s out of breath: Le Huff! Le Puff! Le Pant!
Bill: He he.
Me: So, you think they still air them now, or are we now too uptight to basically show sexual assault during the Saturday morning cartoons?
