maybe the cat is just a loud, obnoxious son of a bitch.

[miles]

Joke's on him; now he has to clean the entire house in preparation for our son's playdate this weekend.

And hopefully you get some good drugs?

And hopefully you get some good drugs?

That would require going to the doctor, though.

You know that thing where if your tongue itches after eating certain foods it indicates a mild allergy? I just got that feeling after eating a fried egg. (Actually, a titty egg, as Paul calls them.) I also often get it after tasting raw cookie dough. Am I allergic to eggs now? Does the itchy-tongue thing lead to more severe reactions with repeated exposure? I really do not want to have to give up eggs.

If you haven't before, you should try growing it.  Super easy to grow, spreads like wildfire, comes in many interesting varieties (pineapple, chocolate...), and smells great in your garden.

This is good advice only if your neighbors are in the next county. Spreads like wildfire is no joke. Mint can't be eliminated once it starts.

I got that term from this board. I didn't invent it.  I think the original author may be Jough, but I'm not sure.

in regards to "climate change," this has been the weirdest winter I have ever seen. There have been a lot of 60 degree days. Normally around this time of year it is in the 20s. I remember days around now near zero. This is insane. It has only snowed once, and it didn't even stick.

This may have an impact on my quest to drive on a frozen lake.  I have faith that a sudden cold snap is gonna take care of that problem.  I have Tebow on the job.

It was doing that screaming things cats do in heat. Or at least, that is what I always imagined a "cat in heat" sounds like. A cat meow-screaming.

Inev thinks that the cat is hella yellin' about the sex.  Based on Ray and Showbiz, cats will do that on occasion.

I always grow it in a pot, to prevent it from spreading.

But remember, when we finally get a significant snowfall, that will totally disprove global warming. Make lots of Al Gore jokes at that time.

My roommates and I agree that this warm weather has gone beyond "nice" and into creepy territory. I keep waiting for the snow to slam us when we get complacent.

It is nice to be able to comfortably walk to my friend's house in just a sweater, though.

I know climate change is the preferred term, or at least it seems that way, but global warming is still technically correct, right? I mean if there's an unusually cold season, the point is that there's been an trend of overall warming on earth for the past however many years. That's why it's called global warming and not local warming. Climate change could also refer to global cooling.

To be clear, this is more of a language usage question and less of a question on the reality of the phenomenon, whatever one may call it.

[Carlos del Vaca]

I get that Ash is ragging on pedantic terminology, but: "climate change" became the preferred term to help account for things like outrageously large snowstorms. "Snow? But... global warming, right?" Well, on the average, yes, but it's also promoting lots more moisture in the atmosphere, which means more and bigger storms.

...I like screaming about Gore's big ass carbon sink activities while telling the rest of us to live in a hand dug cave.

"here is a list of ways for people to 'go green'.  i want you to print out 48945634536455763 copies and drop them from a low-flying plane over a few cities."

I like screaming about Gore's big ass carbon sink activities while telling the rest of us to live in a hand dug cave.

An exercise for the reader: how many people will Al Gore need to convince to live in hand dug caves to justify his current carbon footprint? Your working should acknowledge the correlation between a high carbon footprint, willingness to accept lovey huggy mother earth bullshit and exposure to 80s children's television.

I'm so glad I don't have kids who will have to scrabble a living out of the burned-out shell that used to be our planet. I won't have to defend my rapine behavior to anyone.
