Does it come with the live cat?

John, not sure whether you’ve posted more on this, but at one stage you said that, for various reasons, you were having second thoughts about keeping Rosie and may have been thinking about returning her to a shelter. Have you changed your mind?

I think when Black Friday comes
I’m gonna dig myself a hole

does anyone know if the guy responsible for Obama’s stitches today got called for charging? I like a president who can take a charge.

@maye: Hard to get a bow in the chops on a charge/block. Guy from Notre Dame got his nose whacked good by his own player last night in their game against the Dawgs. Wonder if this was friendly fire?

I figured you would be sitting on the Group W bench…

@Maude: That was a long time ago, I think he’s hooked. Didn’t Rosie jump ugly on Lilly?

@stuckinred:
Yes, over a chew toy.
I didn’t want a rumor starting that John was going to dump Rosie.
I think Rosie is part of the household.

@jeffreyw:
never ate at Alice’s Restaurant, but I did tell the Afees doc I had the crabs and couldn’t be a soldier in Uncle Sam’s army. He just laughed and gave me a tube of cream, and that was that.

@Maude: It wasn’t a rumor, John posted it. Not that there’s anything wrong with having a change of heart.

Treating this as an open thread, I need some blogoshereic recomendations.
Balloon Juice is my home page and will stay so, but for the next 30 days I want to pare down my intake of political news before I Grinch out. I want to bench some of the other political blogs for a bit and and put some lighter fare into the rotation.
Therefore:
I am looking for some blogs that that deal with “slice of life” and culture (high or low), but none of the Lindsey Lohan to William and Kate stuff. Roger Ebert’s Journal is dead center of what I am interested in. Any other suitable runners up to his great efforts? Also, poetry or literary would be cool.
Josie
@jeffreyw: Homer seems to be a very busy little cat. How are the other animals taking to him? I know Annie mothers him, but what about everyone else?
General Stuck
@Linda Featheringill:
From Arlo’s song AR. If I remember correctly, when he goes down to the draft station, though I don’t remember the Group W bench, but the “father rapers” were the undesirables in that group, or something. I’m too lazy to look it up. though considering the source, I should have figured it had something to do with rape and anuses/

@Josie: Well, Toby almost plays with him. Well, sorta plays, if you count smacking the holy shit outta him whenever he comes too close. At least he doesn’t cede the room to Homer like Bea does. Bea slaps him then runs off. Buddy and Jack pretty much ignore him, tho Jack isn’t above the occasional snap and short chase. Annie can stand Homer longer than any of them, but she gets a “rescue me” look in her eye after a while.

Ha, I loves me some Arlo, and a cameo of early M Emmit Walsh to boot.

The trailers look amazing, and Jeff Bridges! The Dude abides as John Wayne channeling John Huston. And Tron II is coming out at the same time. That’s some ground he’s covering.
Anne Laurie
@Keith G: Lance Mannion. Who does political commentary, along with the literary / popcult / slice-of-life material, but thoughtfully. And his commentors are great, usually as thoughtful (and sometimes discoursive) as Mannion himself. Only problem with Lance’s blog is that it can suck up a lot of spare time and thought… which may be a net positive if you’re trying to wean yourself off the quick-hit your-mamma-so-moonbat stuff that raises your blood pressure.

How about Dave Barry’s Blog?

@Cat Lady: On a surface level it looks like the original but that can’t be.
General Stuck
@Cat Lady:
Yep, in my top ten. Loved the line from Walsh, and I am paraphrasing some. Where he talks about how folks do things with help in other places, “but down here in Texas, you’re on your own”
That and Frances Macdormand nailing his hand to the window ledge, great scene.

@General Stuck:
The light shining through the bullet holes Walsh shot through the wall at her. Genius. Many years later I read that the Coens invented that effect – it had never been filmed before. She never knew who was after her, or why. No wonder she married one of the Coens after that. She wanted to have one of their babies. ;-)

OT: BBC America is running a new show called “Law & Order UK”.
Jesus, what’s next for Dick Wolf and his money machine, “Law & Order Uzbekistan”?
Though “Law & Order Wasilla” does have a certain sleazy appeal, like “Cops: Arctic Circle” might.

@General Stuck:
“The world is full o’ complainers. An’ the fact is, nothin’ comes with a guarantee. Now I don’t care if you’re the pope of Rome, President of the United States or Man of the Year; somethin’ can all go wrong. Now go on ahead, y’know, complain, tell your problems to your neighbor, ask for help, ‘n watch him fly. Now, in Russia, they got it mapped out so that everyone pulls for everyone else… that’s the theory, anyway. But what I know about is Texas, an’ down here… you’re on your own.”

There already is a show about Alaskan State Troopers, though I watched an episode and it’s a snoozefest.

Thanky you Cat Lady. I got the google lazies tonight. And BTW, has anyone checked out Netflixe’s new rating system to ferret out flicks you would likely like. It is so cool, and am getting to watch one called.

OOps hit send to fast.
It’s called The Shooting of Thomas Hurndall, based on a true story.

Wait, are we still talking about Tunch?

@SiubhanDuinne:
Heh. I’ve seen his Paw of Doom in action on poor Lily. Tunch could star in a remake of Fists of Fury: Paws of Furry – the Big Tunch.

Tuuuuuunchie! Yeah, I’m late and SiubhanDuinne beat me to it, but still. TUNCHIE! I almost skipped out on BJ tonight (I am behind on my personal NaNoWriMo goal), but something told me I should visit. Maybe Tunchie?
