I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Asics. Good running shoes.
KITTIES!
YAY!!!!
Birthday kitties!
Steven Cobair was wrong. You aren't an attack blogger. 
I walked in at just the right time..
Cat looks like she is thinking about pinching a turd in A-man's shoe.
I'd like to see the kitties shaved and erect, please.
Yay!!!!!
Kitties!!!
My friday is now complete.
Oh, and {{covers kitty ears}}.....Fuck Bush.
Mmmmmm. Cats love the smell of sweaty feet.
the grey one seems to be slightly displeased, atrios. perhaps thinking, "stay away from me with that camera, you cruel, cruel man you."
the moment we have all been waiting for, the Birthday Cats.
Women may be all that, but I have it on good authority that cats can't add or develop a decent hypothesis.
On a recent business trip, however, a certain cat was very anxious to have any male put his head between her many boobs. And I took her up on it.
Meow.
What, no birthday hats? 
Happy Birthday, Atrios!
and seeing as how you're so young and all- when will we expect friday kidblogging to arrive? /grandma voice/ you're not getting any younger and america needs as many good liberals as possible right now /end grandma voice/
If you dopey libs spent as much time
trying to save Social Security as
you do worrying about cats, then
the world would be much more to
my liking.
V/R Arthur (Loves Tender Vittles) Miller
the cat is just waiting for some Neocon liar to walk by so she can throw the shoe at the neocon scumbag's head.
Happy Birthday, Atrios!
Getting a new kitty for a present?
Is that the new GT-2100? Nice shoes, I have them in blue.
what, only *one* mug of warm beer for the gray cat?
I was thinking Ted Hitler would be a good name for a kitty.
speaking of friday kidblogging--new pic of Baby Rosie over at PowerPop--boy does she have beautiful eyes. that is a gorgeous baby, Thers and NYMary!
1) Kitty in the Shoe Grotto.
2) Kitty on the radiator.
Nice.
Good to see the Atri-kitties!
I loves me some Atri-kitties!
The one that looks like your grey turtleneck seems a bit taken aback.
Hey, what are their names, anyway? Did I miss a memo?
PS--I don't have my catblogging done yet. Busy day, but I did shoot some architecture.
but which one of these two is the drug mule, Cletus?
Is this wrong to ask -- I think it is, but I'll do it anyway:
Which cat do you like better, Atrios?
In krsaz's absence, I will say that as of 5:45 EST on Friday, February 18, 2005, multiple schizoid psychotic troll is still an asshole of Marianas Trench proportions.
Go whack off against the wall, rob. You'll contribute more to the conversation there than you ever will here.
And, politely, if I may, FUCK OFF YOU DIMWITTED CREATURE.
Awwwwwwwww. There's always hope wherever there are kitties. Dispair fading.
The tuxedo kitty -- a ringer for my
late sainted Murray -- looks bigger
than I remembered.
Happy birthday, Atrios!
New Jersey's Attorney General Peter Harvey is bringing suit against Blockbuster, Inc. saying that their new "no late fees" policy is misleading customers. Harvey says Blockbuster charges other fees that are hidden in the fine print.
Harvey says the case could involve "hundreds of thousands of consumers"...
Guess it's too bad they'll have to take their class action suit to Federal Court, hm?
I'm with chicago dyke...WHEN ARE WE GONNA SEE BABY PICTURES?
FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE YOU ARE THIRTY THREE YEARS OLD!!! GET TO WORK. NOW.
I do love the cats though.
oh, buck fush too.
Ah, I've often thought that the world might be a nicer place if only humans had never evolved into the nitwits they have become.
Kitties are nice. They make me smile.
Hope your birthday evening is most pleasant.
i hate it when my cat sticks his face in my tennis shoe and starts acting like he's in love.
Steven Cobair was wrong. You aren't an attack blogger.
That's Hitler. Ted Hitler.
(Really it's "Colbert", like Claudette)
Hey, I gots kitties, too!
watertiger, attaturk, holden, somebody--there is a picture of Condi on the front page of the NYT online that is begging, begging! for a caption.

(Yeah, we get it.)
well, i'm off for a while. i may return, everyone have a nice day and evening tonight. atrios- happy birthday! thanks again for making this possible.
/fuck the chimp/
...i'm thinking we need a special character or symbol that could express this sentiment with creativity and wit.
Hey, what are their names, anyway? Did I miss a memo?
Oh, look. It's Hunk of the Week.
Gizmo and Wiley, hotstuff.
Dude, seriously.
Busy day, but I did shoot some architecture.
When does the architectural hunting season open in Vermont, anyway?
This just in:
Eschaton commenter RCSanders files suit against himself for failing to use synonyms. Sanders says he's currently looking for his thesaurus after using forms of the verb "say" three different times in one paragraph.
Sanders states the suit could involve literally hundreds of Eschaton commenters.
Meow, meow; and happy b-day.
OT: Rude pundit has a suggestion for fanning the flames on Gannon-guckert-gate.

Did anyone besides me see GWB wink when he claimed he had a mandate?
ooops, they musta moved on me...ah,
here they are.
Mariana Trench proportions? We're going to be off-world in no time at this rate. This reminds me of the scene in Christmas Story where the boys skipped over several 'dare' levels and hastend the issuance of the Triple Dog Dare to Flick.
The tux (Gizmo? Wiley?) looks positively hyp-mo-tized by the reflective bits on the tennis shoe, eh?
Obligatory FVC™
I need a few more cats.
.
Oooooh, nice kitties. But is it okay to sit on radiators? Is it okay to have flammables on radiators?
Careful about the shoeses tho - Arthur's never gotten over his desire to attack shoelaces, those whipping, flopping attack snakes. Kitties may feel the same way.
Nice kitties. Happy Birthday.
The grey cat is doing the "lying on the fleece lining because it's warm and cozy." As for the black and white cat, it seems to thinking that these shoe things usually come in twos.
TJ,
Done. Not the best on the fly, but what the hell.

Oh, look. It's Hunk of the Week.
You're making him blush.

See you in Federal court...

Wiley *loves* Atrios and will only play with him. Gizmo, on the other hand, prefers Mrs. Atrios...
watertiger, you rock. Captioning on Demand! Does she look seriously pissed off in that photo or what? That is one scary-looking SoS.
You're making him blush.
Good.
And the expression on Wiley is more like, "Whoa, man, step away from me if you ain't gonna shower after your run."
Another day at work wasted by actually working, by the way.
Drag.
Wiley *loves* Atrios and will only play with him. Gizmo, on the other hand, prefers Mrs. Atrios...
Mrs. Atrios, it's obvious that Gizmo has far better judgment.
And the world is once again safe as the Atrian Felines take a well deserved rest after vanquishing Ming the Merciless once again.

Gizmo and Wiley, hotstuff.
Oh yeah, that sounds familiar. I'm horrible with names. And who's this 'hotstuff' you mention?
When does the architectural hunting season open in Vermont, anyway?
It's considered a nuisance, like coyotes, so it's open season all year round.
In case you missed it, here's the happy birthday edition of Friday catblogging!
Rex Rabbit, too!
What? They come apart? It's two separate cats? Who knew?
You're not going to Photoshop them to look like the Gilmore Girls?
That is one scary-looking SoS.
I'll say.
There's no difference between cats and dogs - it's all socialization.
Gotta say... NTodd is dreamy!
jdw,
where did you get those window beds???
(pretty kitties... btw...)
Wiley *loves* Atrios and will only play with him. Gizmo, on the other hand, prefers Mrs. Atrios...
Mrs. Atrios, it's obvious that Gizmo has far better judgment.
Mrs. A. showers after her runs?
And how come CD isn't giving Mrs. A grief about the grandchildren thing?
thanks for the blogpimping, oh ye of preternaturally long eyelashes.
bastard.
Presenting:
Black and white cats for this week
Until next week, then.
I believe tuxedo-kitty is offended by your shoe.
NTodd:
That was me doing a perhaps lame
parody of Arthur.
Sorry.
BGK,
I love your cats. Truly.
Buzzflash Gannongate editorial must read
Watertiger:
No respectable horse I know would be caught dead in that thing.
Dave:
Those are some scary eyes on that kitty.
Happy Bush-fucking birthday, Atman!
Okay, that maybe didn't come out exactly right...
flory,
no, that's atrios who showers after his runs, and leaves shoes and clothes around the house... (wiley will sit on anything owned by atrios, including his laptop...)
I'm going to continue traveling over and over and over again, making it clear to the American people we have a problem, the president said.
I see they're still employing the Big Lie maneuver. (Keep telling the same lie over and over and after a while it starts to ring true.)
Those are some scary eyes on that kitty.
Which one?
I was thinking Ted Hitler would be a good name for a kitty.
Cletus
I suspect Colbert went off script on that name. Stewart could barely look at without laughing after that.
Hear ye! Friday Nudibranch Blogging is up and running, along with Friday Hope Blogging and, of course, dead grandmothers who watch their grandchildren masturbate.
It's an exceptionally attractive nudibranch this time around, if I do say so myself.

OT, the story about the infamous Portland Shoebomber is on the CNN international website. Our new Party Chairman rocked the debate:
"Defense is a lot broader than swaggering around saying you're going to kick Saddam's butt," Dean said Thursday, drawing cheers from the crowd in this city that overwhelmingly voted Democratic last November.
Sorry, you must mean Moon... she may look scary, but she's a sweetie!
Speaking of scary cats, one time, some drunk came up to the door and was asking directions. Suddenly, he looked behind me and there was Oski on the cat tree looking down at him. It freaked him out so bad he took off at a near-sprint, muttering about the "devil cat"!

Far right blows a gasket over Gannon
by John in DC - 2/18/2005 11:02:00 AM
Two weeks of silence from the far right has finally exploded like Vesuvius. This comes from CNS, the Cybercast News Service - basically, another pro-far-right "media" outlet:
Make no mistake, Jeff Gannon, or James Guckert, or whatever his name is, is no conservative. Anybody who publishes sexually explicit photos of himself on a website in hopes of making money as a hooker is no conservative. Not in this lifetime. Not on this planet. The person in those photos is a pig and a pervert.
But Gannon did rile up the Left, and it's because they felt betrayed, certain that the only reliable, no-questions-asked, no-strings-attached home for such individuals is in the liberal wing of the establishment media or Democratic Party.
The Left wants this controversy to be about a Republican White House letting in a ringer to ask questions and get access to sensitive information so he could write up favorable stories on the Talon News website. But if Jeff Gannon was a heterosexual, I suspect his questions for the president would have drawn scant attention. He wouldn't have made many friends in the White House press room, but almost nobody would have cared.
Homosexuality, at its core, is about narcissism and self-loathing. But the Left is demonstrating another of its common characteristics in the Gannon flap - denial. They want the world to believe that exposing Gannon's journalistic bona fides, or lack thereof, is their ethical responsibility.
But don't be fooled. The Jeff Gannon controversy is about sex and turning the political tables on Left Wing ideologues he should have known would seek revenge and personal destruction. It's nothing more than that.
Yeah, because obviously CNS has true love in its heart for Jeff.
It's really not worth responding to a "defense" of Gannon that also calls him a "pig and a pervert." Even we horrible leftwing bloggers didn't go that far. But I will say one thing. No one knew he was gay. David Brock launched this story out of concern over Gannon being a fake journalist. We didn't have a clue he was gay - not a bit of my gaydar went off when I saw him on TV. So spare us the "were he heterosexual it wouldn't be an issue" crap. Were Gannon a heterosexual hooker the mainstream media would have reported on this days ago. And were Gannon a heterosexual hooker in the Clinton White House, CNS would have been the first media outlet to report on it. So spare me.
Finally, this article should send a message to Gannon and other closeted Republicans. You're working for and with people who hate you. We might be pissed because you're selling yourself out. They're pissed because they loathe who you are. Big difference.
watertiger, your captions make me laugh, but I sure am glad there is not a gun in the house or I wouldn't have a monitor to speak of.
kent, mah man! Where you been at?
It's an exceptionally attractive nudibranch this time around, if I do say so myself.
Oh my, yes.
Aiiight, peeps, they're vacuuming around me here. Gotta go. Will check in when I get home.
Adios, and happy birthday again, Atrios.
(Oh, and Mrs. A. -- you've got some very photogenic kitties.)
(wiley will sit on anything owned by atrios, including his laptop...)
Hmmm....interesting pheromones in the Black family, perhaps?
Dave:
The first one - Moon.
...wiley will sit on anything owned by atrios, including his laptop...
Funny, Moon does the same thing to my wife's laptop. I used to think it was because it was warm, but she sits on it even though it hasn't been used in days...
Surprise--it's Lieberman Josh Marshall is talking about...
I guess they didn't want to wear thier party hats for the photos.
Hmmmm.... guess I'll have to use my imagination.
I think the tuxedo is trying to tell you there's a mouse in your shoe.
watertiger - I pimp when I see raw talent.
steve simels - sorry, I shoulda checked the e-mail. I'm not good on Arthur refs. Monty Python, Star Trek, Star Wars, Princess Bride, LA Story, and the like? I'm there.
And all the notes about my blushing, while describing reality, definitely means nobody's seeing pics of my bum. Not without cash upfront. If there's one thing I learned from the Guckert Affair it's that whores have a fee schedule.
The first one - Moon.
Yeah, I answered above... forgot there's really only one picture of a cat with scary eyes in this bunch!
WT,
a combination of gainful employment, and shopping around for a metal lathe, so just enough time for lurking and the occasional driveby comment.
Philalethes, that is an exceptional nudibranch!!
Kudos.
Surprise--it's Lieberman Josh Marshall is talking about...
Can we please kick that motherfucker out of the party now?
time to experience that lovely Princeton to Philly Friday night traffic...bye.
Philalethes, that is an exceptional nudibranch!!
Thanks, fourlegsgay! Coming from a fellow adherent of the Gaytrios sect, that means a lot.
And all the notes about my blushing, while describing reality, definitely means nobody's seeing pics of my bum. Not without cash upfront.
Yeah....how much?
Can't we send Howard Dean up to Connecticut for a little visit?
GWPDA, radiators are kitty hangouts de luxe. They don't usually get hot hot hot hot (except maybe near the steam valve at the bottom), they get warm warm warm. And they're almost always right under a window, so that makes them even better kitty hangouts.
In our 1916 house, we have covers on our radiators so the kitties have smooth surfaces to lie on and toast themselves while gazing at the bird feeder that we hung right outside the dining room window for their amusement. Total kitty hangout deluxe.
Kitties and radiators. Made for each other. For one thing, if you've got forced air heat, the kitties crowd right up against the register and no warm air comes out for you. Radiators are big enough to warm everyone.
I was wondering about you too, Kent. Good to see ya!
WTF does Rove have on Lieberman? It must be something huge for him to become this much of a traitor to his party.
Turn ons: nudibranches.
Turn offs: grandmothers watching me jerkin' the gerkin.
Phil:
That's quite the special nudibranch. And the confessions about granny site is...er...intersting.
Holy Crap Phil,
what FLG said.
Really, what's better than kitties.
Your cats are adorable! I was considering posting my animals on Friday nights but...
A-That would be a blatant ripoff!
B-My drunk ass would be in the background!
Have a great weekend everyone
...radiators are kitty hangouts de luxe.
In our house, the digital cable box is prime sleeping space. Stays warm all the time. Moon esp. likes it...
Somedays I sit at my desk and think how poor abd barren my existence was.... without nudibranches.
How ever did we live without them?
Suddenly, he looked behind me and there was Oski on the cat tree looking down at him. It freaked him out so bad he took off at a near-sprint, muttering about the "devil cat"!
Heh. Must have been a Republican. Cats can spot them a mile away.
Turn offs: grandmothers watching me jerkin' the gerkin.
NTodd
Yeah, that'd put a crimp in my self-on-self action too. What a life that poor bastard must lead. It's not like he can hide from her by putting the blankets over his head...the dead, as we know, have Eerie Powers.
And all the notes about my blushing, while describing reality, definitely means nobody's seeing pics of my bum. Not without cash upfront.
Yeah....how much?
Whatever you think is reasonable. I have a PayPal and Amazon Honor System link on my blog.
I also think about how crappy my typing skills have become.
"where did you get those window beds???
(pretty kitties... btw...)"
Thanks! We found them locally at a Petsmart, I think. The cats own three of them now. Can I buy ya a couple and send 'em to ya?
It's not like he can hide from her by putting the blankets over his head...the dead, as we know, have Eerie Powers.
Uh...what are you saying? They really can see me when I'm, you know, watching Cinemax?
Trivia: what did Woody Allen observe about masturbation in Annie Hall?
Thanks, fourlegsgay! Coming from a fellow adherent of the Gaytrios sect, that means a lot.
You're welcome, my little gay friend!
Really, what's better than kitties.

==========
Not too much.
Mine sits on my monitor and glares at me to get off the computer.
Happy B-day, A. Thaks for giving us all a place to survive and thrive.
The real question about the dead grandmother: Is this her punishment, or her reward?
Ah, was wondering about all the hubub and found a pic of NTodd thru his page...he's fairly handsome...but his wife? Phew, you got very lucky, N.
NTodd -- sex with someone I love, no?
From AmericaBLOG:
Apparently (JimmyJeff) scheduled to tell it all, or at least some of it, to Anderson Cooper tonight on CNN. From what I'm hearing, expect to hear that he's sorry, he's made mistakes, he's a good Christian and God has forgiven him, and the White House had nothing to do with it...
Yeah, they're pretty cats compared to mah String but they don't have a fancy cute little stars and moons collar.
So HAH!
Happy Birthday Atrios!
from Miyagi & Buxton
Oh, look. It's Hunk of the Week.
Um, no. You'll find the wonderful NTodd, right here.
And Sex Toy Blogging™, too!
NTodd -- sex with someone I love, no?
Dingdingding!
IIRC, the entire quote was something like, "I don't know why people think there's something wrong with masturbation. At least it's making love to someone I like." I'll have to check IMDB...
Woody Allen said "Hey, don't knock masturbation. It's sex with someone I love."
I really need to get some control over myself....
And Sex Toy Blogging, too!
I must warn people: this week's will definitely make your BP, or something, rise. I now have a new appreciation for uniforms and truncheons.
Kitties!
Dookie & LC
I love the hunk and sex postings LJ, your blog is entertaining to say the least.
My vote for hunk of the week is for JimJeff, that boy is built!
WARNING BLOGWHORING:
You can see cats at my homepage, I have some good ones this week.
Is Dookie the multi-color one? Gotta get a frontal of that cat!
"I really need to get some control over myself...."
--ΤΏΤ
Not in my estimation.
I must warn people: this week's will definitely make your BP, or something, rise. I now have a new appreciation for uniforms and truncheons.
And to think you were the warm up act for it, NTodd.

Oh, and happy birthday, A-man.
Surfdork:

Friday Embroidery Blogging.
Phil,
Thanks for wonderin' . I have been engaged in the "humility of Ignorance" phase of learning lots of new things, so the brain is usually worn out at the end of the day.
I miss the days of unemployment which fostered my blooging with impunity, while spending the better part of the day hanging out here, 
. I don't miss the poverty so much.
BTW, is there a Gaytriots sympathetic hetero auxilliary?
OK that took so long I will never catch up.
FLG, Simels, interested in keys to the blog?
Okay, I got yer catblogging right here.
NTodd, you take wonderful photos.
And to think you were the warm up act for it, NTodd.
With all the talk about sex toys and Woody Allen, I'm feeling all tingly and confused now.
Dog bloggin: Tackling the Elephant
Um, surfdork, I'm kinda of shaking from fear right now. Is that a vampire cat you've got up there? I'm going to eat some garlic, just in case...

I'm not sure I get your drift,

Yeah thats a pretty weird looking kitty.
I do my best to find cats on the internet.
Thanks, mer. I'm lucky I live in a place that has lots of excellent subjects.
John Gillnitz, nice dog. and nice rug too.
Steve -
I think Kent is offering you and FLG space on his blog to do some writing!
Jenny
BTW, is there a Gaytriots sympathetic hetero auxilliary?
Yep, and we're it. Thersites is the Exalted Leader. LJ is Minister of Truth. WatertiGAYer is the treasurer.
As for me, I do windows.

As for me, I do windows.
Not gonna talk about the cleaning fluid and blade PhilaGaythes uses...
Not gonna do it...
JftB:
Well that's intriguing.
Nope. We're all gay now. Didn't you get the memo?
LJ
I didn't know either. Good thing my wife has a UTI...she can't complain when I go in search of hot homo action!
steve -
I think it's an offer you can't refuse!
Not gonna do it...
LJ
OK, so I leave some streaks. So sue me.
Steve,
The right to have your way at my spot. I have had little to say lately, and you would be welcome to post something for the 20 or so that visit daily.
Interested?
Gotta jump into the shower now, but I want you all to know I'm typing this in the nude!
Take that, John Ashcroft!
I like it when Mrs. Atrios posts.
Nope. We're all gay now. Didn't you get the memo?
Or femme-o, as the case may be.
Steve, do it! I think I speak for all of us when I say you have no choice in the matter.
I want to see a picture of Stringey in her new finery next week for kitty-blogging....
I like it when Mrs. Atrios posts.
Me too. She's somehow like the Greek Chorus of Eschaton Land.
Gotta jump into the shower now, but I want you all to know I'm typing this in the nude!
Take that, John Ashcroft!
Dude, me too! Come all over- er, *on* over!
John Gillnitz, nice dog. and nice rug too.
mer | 02.18.05 - 6:47 pm | #
Thanks, mer. I have to say I get an evil laugh when they grab the elephant and shake it terrier style. I think my amusement is why it is their favorite toy. That and the floppy factor.
Kent:
I'm so tech illiterate I'd be
worried about crashing it.
But I'm flattered and interested.
I have to go out in a little bit--
let's e-mail about it manana, if
that's okay with you..
As for me, I do windows.
Can one just up and choose a job, or should I supplicate to thersites for admission. If the former, I might suggest availability for Network operations, or quality control manager.
If the latter.......thers?
I do my best to find cats on the internet.
Yeah, but that's more like a demon than a kitty. Worthy of My Cat Hates You.

We're ALL gay now? Man, I'm never going to get a date now.
Can't get 'nuff fwuff.
Woo!
Why the attraction to the trainers? Is the cat wishing it could snuggle up inside, or does it like the smell?
Nope. We're all gay now. Didn't you get the memo?
Cat scaring LOL.
I have come to the realization that I have trained myself to read this place with an empty mouth, and thank whatsit for that -- nasal passege enema would be common otherwise.
Philalethes:
Point taken, with thanks.
hey! Steve should be writing for my blog! No fair, kent!
NYMary:
Please, please,....If I had blood
I'd be blushing right now.
ss,
check yer inbox.
Don't believe the rumors on the Internets!
Chessie comes clean about catnip and toilet drinking.
NTodd, oh yes the wonmderful My Cat hates you site.
I love Britney (the cat not the fartist).
OT:
What is the correct term?
Brown Trombone or Rusty Trombone?
If I had blood
I'd be blushing right now.
I always had you pegged as a vampire.
Can one just up and choose a job, or should I supplicate to thersites for admission. If the former, I might suggest availability for Network operations, or quality control manager.
Kent...
I don't know if you knew this, but you're already a Gaytriot. Determining your job will, er, come later.
Argh. I closed that link.
That's LC. Here's a pic of her face."
Pretty girl, Buckeye.
Pretty Lab there RC.
I didn't know Chessie was so into digital video recording technology.
So i'm thinking if I get a dog it will be a lab and I'll name the doggy "Meth".
That way I'll have a legal Meth Lab.
Still Life With Shoe. Still Life With Radiator. Come on, A-Man, let's have some action shots! Stop by the Pat Shoppe onna way home and pick up a couple white mice.
Not on the rug, though, or Mrs A will ruin a perfectly good camera...And maybe yer head, too.
Kent:
Not only is my e-mail currently
screwed up but apparently haloscan
is eating posts.
Wonderful.
I don't know if you knew this, but you're already a Gaytriot. Determining your job will, er, come later.
God damn it, how come nobody laughed when I was gay? Thers can't tell a fucking joke to save his life.
I'm catless
The last (iar) DrMrsKono and I at one time had 8 cats and one old dog in a 2300 sq ft home, on a one-third acre lot, with a cat-proofed back yard with trees. There was a spot on a wall in a hallway leading to one wing of the house i called the peeing wall, because each and every cat which passed that spot lifted their tails and sprayed.
When we put the place on the market (we were separating), i spent most of a whole summer rectifying the cat traces. The peeing wall sheet-rock was held together only by the paint, when I removed it. I had to strip all the carpet, and all the pad, then scour the concrete pad with gallons of vinegar, and then reseal the floor with killz...
NTodd, you ever read the Stowe Reporter?
Dogblogging
Yeah, RC! Oh baby.
So i'm thinking if I get a dog it will be a lab and I'll name the doggy "Meth".
That way I'll have a legal Meth Lab.
I've got a couple buyers for your product.
[recall joke about boy who thinks he's a chicken...]
LJ,
LOL, thanks for the HU, Thers, Hilarious.
God damn it, how come nobody laughed when I was gay? Thers can't tell a fucking joke to save his life.
NTodd, read the comments. Theri missed a wide open opportunity. So to speak.
That way I'll have a legal Meth Lab.
I've got a couple buyers for your product.
Is one of them named Johnny Fuckerfaster, by any chance?
NTodd, you ever read the Stowe Reporter?
They online? I don't read any local rags unless they're online. The Freep, Messenger, 7Days.
Is there a story I should check out?
Thers is in the can.
BTW, is there a Gaytriots sympathetic hetero auxilliary?
Yep, and we're it. Thersites is the Exalted Leader. LJ is Minister of Truth. WatertiGAYer is the treasurer.
Cool. Are there membership requirments? Dues? Where's the annual meeting held?
NTodd, read the comments. Theri missed a wide open opportunity. So to speak.
Yeah, I saw. What a dreadful performance. I see he tried to make amends at your place. Too little, too late, my friend. Pathetic, really.
Yep, and we're it. Thersites is the Exalted Leader. LJ is Minister of Truth. WatertiGAYer is the treasurer.
Ahem. Mistress of Truth, thank you.
So i'm thinking if I get a dog it will be a lab and I'll name the doggy "Meth".
That was actually my first choice of names for her.
I was overruled by the kids. All the other pups in the litter received "candy" names (mom's name is Candy) like Hershey, Cocoa, Snickers, etc... so she's Mocha.
For some reason I took to calling her "monkeybutt" for a while. She started to think her name was Monkeybutt. She wouldn't come if I called her Mocha.
I think "Monkeybutt" is her Secret Name.
She's a sweetheart - a seventy-pound baby. She's two in that picture. She'll be three in May.
OH, and double post, Me Dumb.
Kent:
My e-mail has gone totally screwy.
And I have to leave now for a while.
I'll try again bwhen I get back if its not
too late.
If not I'll try tomorrow or look
for you here if it's still not
working.
Re:Blending Gender
We're all bi-ologically both (so to speak).
Just different measures of either in each.
The possible combinations are legion.
Dues are nominal.
That way I'll have a legal Meth Lab.

Hell No, Johnny Dontwantto and Pete Nislicher
NTodd,
I used to vanpool with the editor of the Stowe reporter back when he was writing for MS.
Just curious if a Vermonter knew of the paper.
Is one of them named Johnny Fuckerfaster, by any chance?
[flips through black book]
Mmmm...nope, can't say I know the name, but I'll check around. I've got a Jack Goucher, and a Jill Getnone. Oh, and some guy named N'Tood (I think he's from Kenya).
Are there membership requirments?
You must be a regular commenter for a blog that will come into existence no more than 3 months into the future.
Those shoes look too clean to have ever been worn outside. Birthday present from your cat?
Mrs Atrios: checked with Mrs. jdw. She said you can also get the catbeds at PetSupplies Plus and online at www.DrsFosterSmith.com .
Ah RC, I see that twisted minds think alike.
Beautiful dog.
I used to vanpool with the editor of the Stowe reporter back when he was writing for MS.

Ah, gotcha. The paper sounds familiar. I think I might have come across it when I was doing some searches for local event info down in Stowe. But I might be making that up. I do that a lot.
BTW, have I ever mentioned I'm a CIA agent who has a hard press that gives me "access" to the White House? Please don't tell anybody, though. Totally on the QT, if ya know what I mean.
Not only is my e-mail currently
screwed up but apparently haloscan
is eating posts.
Wonderful.
ouch, I did not get a bounce back (yet) so it will probably show up....if it is buggered beyond belief we might visit an old thread for some OT chat at some point.
no worries.
Ahem. Mistress of Truth, thank you.
LJ
I'm thinking those of us with even rudimentary photo editing skills should send you pics of us as Aragorn...draw in a beard and long hair, and see who comes closest to the ideal.
I think I'll end up looking more like Captain Morgan, but what the heck!
Honest to dog true story.
There was a guy who lived on Whidbey Island named, "Howard Lichter" aka "Howie Lichter".
Yes I scanned phone books as a teenager looking for prank targets.
I am and always will be a DORK!

OK - I did that last week.

You need to find a bar that offers "liquor in the front, and poker in the rear."
I'm heading out on the town. Have a good night, everyone!
And don't masturbate 'cause your dead grandmother is watching you!
Phila:
Or you could just Photoshop your face onto any old picture of the white-man's Jesus.
Y'all don't EVEN want to know what I used to think about during church services, with that huge picture of Jesus looking over us.
Niters, PhilaGaythese, window cleaner...
Although what good are you to me you when I have a Mac?
I swear to God I knew a kid named Richard Wacker. It suited him.
I'm thinking those of us with even rudimentary photo editing skills should send you pics of us as Aragorn...draw in a beard and long hair, and see who comes closest to the ideal.
Is it true that Aragorn's favorite food was fried peanut butter and lembas sandwiches?
Jeez phil, have a good trip.
In WA we did have Liquor and Wine stores.
Now called Wine and Spirits.
"Where's the annual meeting held?"
That reminds me-- did we ever decide on a location/date for Eschacon (tm)?
My favorite, "Planned Parenthood, use rear entrance".
Is it true that Aragorn's favorite food was fried peanut butter and lembas sandwiches?
No, it isn't.
What it is, I can't tell. But I'll let him eat it every night.
LJ, Like Jason Lee in Almost Famous--a sexy Jesus.
Y'all don't EVEN want to know what I used to think about during church services, with that huge picture of Jesus looking over us.
FWIW, Viggo actually played *Lucifer* in The Prophecy (not to be confused with Prophecy, the spectacularly bad mutant mercury bear movie with Talia Shire... but I digress).
Mary:
Oh yeah. Jason Lee was way hot in that one.
I swear, that pic of the black and white cat is almost a carbon copy of my cat , Boots. Same markings , eyes..really could pass for the same cat. I have two btw. Cats are cool.
Is it true that Aragorn's favorite food was fried peanut butter and lembas sandwiches?
I thought he like tossed salad?
/ducks for cover running VERY fast.
Eli, of god you remember THAT movie. I think that the mercury mutant bear was some type of Jaws ripoff.

Is there a Butts here? Seymore Butts? I wanna Seymore Butts!
NTodd,
Trout thinks Cairo is totally hot and wants to know if she sniffs butts on the first date.
But seriously, she's beautiful. She appears to share some of the same dingo/wild dog physical characteristics as Trout.
Eli,
An improvement on my Gayname inspired by the one you gave me at Metacomments the other day:
Ventral Sodomizer.
LJ,
How's the knee?
David E.-
Wow. That's a stunning photo. An uber hip fashion shot.
Jenny
Hi Central S!
Hey CS!
Much better, thank you! The shot seemes to have helped, tremendously.
Now if I can just go back to work...
Hey JftB !
How's things?
Seems like these two are all I can catch with the camera lately. Oh, well.
Here's Mama Frunella Jeam"Monitoring" the situation...
And Fatso Wiitley, doing what he does best; not much of anything.
Question for anyone out there who knows the innards of a digital camera; This is a polaroid PDC1100, (my sister's) that took nice pix until it got dropped, breaking the tripod mount. Somwething inside also went to smithereensville, as you can see from the appearance of the monitor screen. For starters, there is nothing yellow on there, and the picture onscreen is perfectly sharp & clear. That yellow pattern also shows up in any white light reflected from a white-painted wall, and if a lamp is aimed even vaguely toward the camera, the whole thing gets washed out in yellow crud. Outdoors shopts are a total waste. What is most likely broken/misaligned inside, and can it be fixed by a gifted amateur? I'm guessing not, but whatawino?
I didn't know Chessie was so into digital video recording technology.
Meow meow Animal Planet? meow meow
meow daddy wrong page meow meow
meow meow Chessie, here meow meow
(sprays daddy with water! Bad daddy!)
Trout thinks Cairo is totally hot and wants to know if she sniffs butts on the first date.
Are you kidding? She LOVES sniffing butts! And peeing together. While sexual advances confuse her (she sits down when boys get randy), she would totally enjoy hanging with Triumph or Trout.
But seriously, she's beautiful. She appears to share some of the same dingo/wild dog physical characteristics as Trout.
Trout has dingo blood? Too cool.
Cairo has German shep and basenji. We call her 'shepenji'. Great, smart dog, despite some of the attendant passive-aggressiveness. I desperately want to breed more of her--we've heard from somebody who clearly adopted a cousin (exact same mix, born in the same city 4 years later), so it's possible we could create a new breed.
I will second Watertiger's initial post. Yay Asics! Yay kitties!
kent - Stringey got her new outfit today. Arthur sent it to her.
That is a great photo of Chessie, you MUST submit it to www.ratemykitten.com
That reminds me-- did we ever decide on a location/date for Eschacon (tm)?
Sisi
And is a gray turtleneck the dress code?
'cause, like I'm gonna look awful silly in a turtleneck with my tool belt and hard hat...
And, no, I'm not going with one of those oh-so-fucking-stylish black/blue/green velveteen, sorta Gucci looking getups. I tried one once, and if you have more than a pair of dice in the second pocket, you can't get yer hand in the top pocket, which I do a lot, because that's where I keep all my...why is everybody looking at me like that?
How's things?
Central Scrutinizer
Good. Busy. I'm starting to pack for a move in a few weeks to a be-yoo-ti-ful new place!
Jenny
Kuro in Clover.
Wow. Intensely gorgeous.
Seems like these two are all I can catch with the camera lately. Oh, well.
Here's Mama Frunella Jeam"Monitoring" the situation...
Mama is lucky. We don't allow our cats to hang out on our desks. Well, Saff is so old she doesn't jump up anymore, but she used to be quite a nuisance when you're trying to work. Sam still has a lot of kitten in him, and he likes to bat at your pen, hand, mouse, invisible animals...
As for your "yellow crud", I don't really have a clue. Maybe SWR will have ideas. The PDC110 is an older camera, I think, and perhaps dropping it screwed up the filtering before the light hits the sensor. Are all the other colors okay?
I always suspected Trout to be part dingo. That's why I voted for him. Hope he's okay with the loss and all...
Jenny
Trout has dingo blood? Too cool.
AFAIK, he's a Blue Heeler mix, at least that's what the vet says. Heelers have Dingo blood in their lineage, so there's that. He's thin and longlegged, and that gives him something of a wild dog look, especially when he walks.
OK, I can see the Basenji in Cairo now that you mention it. The Shepard part isn't as obvious.
She's really a pretty thing.
CS,
I heart Trout, how are the two of you dealing with cabin fever?
Stringey got her new outfit today. Arthur sent it to her.
GWPDA,
Arthguile Sweater? pray tell, in any event pictures please....incog?
"Can one just up and choose a job, or should I supplicate to thersites for admission. If the former, I might suggest availability for Network operations, or quality control manager.
If the latter.......thers?"
Ooooh me, content manager? Electronic document management? C'mon? Pllease?
kent,
We're doing OK, but we can't wait for summer. We both prefer warm weather.
NTodd; All colors look okay, except where light other than from the flash is in the pic. Outdoors all I get is an orangey-yellow mishmash. Flash shots with no light from other sources look halfway decent, although the overall quality seems a wee bit off.
JftB ,
Cool on the new digs!
Trout's OK with not winning, he was thrilled just to be nominated. He says "Thank you!"
At least he didn't have to nominate himself like his lame-ass housemate.
JftB,
check yer email.
CS,
Trout was nominated? For what, Best in Show, expressive face category
Pretty kitties.....
Love cat Friday.
JWC
Doozer - dunno. It seems to me that it's a CCD device--CMOS sensors are cheap and usually used on small lens devices like phones, and have lots of transistors, which wouldn't have a uniform problem like yours, I think--which makes me think it's a filter or maybe a meter problem (so it does white balance badly). You might want to check the mfr website, or ask a local camera shop.
The 1100 I think is several years old, so it might just be time to get a new cam. Like most computer devices, these things get better and cheaper with each passing year, and at some point it becomes easier to just dump the old one. Hey, it's the American way.
kent,
JftB voted for him, so I count that as a nomination by proxy.

Hey, that was interesting?
I LOVE me some cat blogging. My gray one's name is Gremlin. Hmm.
NTodd; Oh, yeah. For what my sis paid for this thing used, I could get a--to me, anyway--real nice one. I just have this inner mental block against cameras over $50. Been that way for decades.
And I can buy for $9.95 now, the equal of my first $49.95 webcam, which never worked that well to start with.
Atrios, why do you hate your own mother?
dwd - waaaayy earlier in this thread you linked to pix of your 3 cats. I love Frank's pic, and I love it that you list all the names you call them.
I have "Milkyway Dark", AKA Dar, Dar-Man, Bunny, Mr. Whiskers, Mr. Good-to-the-BONE, Dar-Dar.
and "Big-Bottomed Girl" AKA Fanny, Fanners, Muffin, Tiny Girl.
And, of course, other aliases under development.
Jeffraham - WONDERFUL cat video!!!!!!
Oh, please do more!!
watertiger, your 5:58 post and homepage photos w/hilarious captions.
God-damn, what a lucky creature I am to have found this site, and you all are really lovely not to slam me when I post something utterly stupid (and utterly drunken...).
I am happy being a lurker with occasional post.
And this one is to thank you!
BKG, I was especially fond of "Bored" and "Jumping Ava".
Dave, love cat in party hat!!
Kitties!
Philalethes,
I love the nudibranching, don't care for the grannie thing. My grannies wouldn't have done that. They were cool. As was my aunt Ollie, who taught me early on not to wear shoes that had pointy toes.
There's a stink in Denmark.
Just sayin'.....
Last call to say Happy Birthday, Atrios!
The scandal-plagued Bush administration.
A happy belated birthday, Atrios! Didn't get to sign on until after midnight your time. And thanks for the kitties!! Your birthday--and you give us a gift. Not that's generous.
I meant "Now" that's generous. Typing with gloves on--sorry.
pithy pratfalls of preznitdental pettifoggery
must yield to the welcome joys of catbloggery
these purring furballed felines at times
take our minds off the grime, the slime & the crimes
lest we must hie ourselves back to the groggery
(ersatz arthur miller of 5:47 can bite me)
Sarah Deere: Jeffraham - WONDERFUL cat video!!!!!!
Oh, please do more!!
Thanks. I plan to try to get a new one up each Friday, at "homepage," below.
.
I love kitties.
who is going to clean the cat box when it is full of brit hume?
Captions for the cat pictures (top to bottom):
"And for my next trick, I will eat a rubber shoe."
"This jacket is trying to eat me."
I have a little house down the hill. It had been vacant except for a family of birds who were nesting in an old hanging flower basket on the porch. It was fun to watch the parents flitting back and forth, feeding the chirping babies--until that damn cat came out of nowhere, jumped in and killed every one of them. I can still hear their screams. I hate cats!
