I didn't think my cats would care, but since my dog died, Maze has been ... Aggressively affectionate. To the point that I need to shoo her away if I need any alone time. She wasn't this loving any time over her past fifteen years or so of life and didn't seem like she cared about the dog, but she's been completely transformed since then.

I mean, just look at it.

edit: For anyone wondering, it's from the first few seconds of HARDY - Sold Out.

I know, I was just amused by the word "inserted." Thanks though!

So do I just, like, stuff it in there or ... ?

I once was playing Splinter Cell with a friend who, I have since learned but did not know at the time, had very little interest in stealth. To his credit, he did make an effort to be sneaky, but eventually gave up and ran through the level with a shotgun, shooting anyone he saw and yelling "STEALTHY! STEALTHY! STEALTHY!"

To his credit once again, he did beat the level with this strategy.

I mean ... That's true.

Well now, that's not fair.

The response should be something like, you're about to experience a blessing by learning of Bob's Burgers.

If they were like "fuck that show" I'd be more on your side here.

Obligatory Lucky 10,000 Reference

Supposedly this was supposed to be a reference to his penis.

That never really made sense to me, but it was ~~the style~~ the prevailing theory at the time.

It is very pleasing to know I wasn't alone in this thought.

When I was a kid I broke my arm. I thought I was a poet at the time and wrote a poem about the breakage, entitled "it's shaped wrong." My mom submitted it ... Somewhere? ... And it got accepted into a poetry book. She bought the book for, iirc, $50.

I've always felt vaguely ashamed about it. Even if I thought it was good at the time (it wasn't), it was a four line poem, not nearly worth $50.

It would be kind of funny if it was the same company.

Kind of sounds like succubi.

Them: Knock knock!
Me: Who's there?
Them: Boo!
Me: Boo who?
Them: Boo! I'm a ghost!

A while ago, Maze hurt her ear. Since then we've been giving her all kinds of medication. Obviously things aren't pristine, but she's doing way better and her wheezing has nearly disappeared!

My wife pronounces it three different ways, each of which she can support. I pronounce it one, but other than that it's the way I've heard it I can't support my pronunciation even after some searches. What's yours and why?

Last week, I made a post about a demon in my backyard at 4am.

For anyone curious, this is how it disguises its form during daylight. Pretty convincing and a lot less unsettling.

Jokes aside, I remember the PoM song being titled "She Fucking Hates Me," but according to Wikipedia it wasn't part of the title, just the lyrics.

I guess it actually was more mild than I remembered.

edit: Add a word.

My 5-year-old has set up a selection of large rocks on the railing of my back porch, which my kitchen faces.

In the kitchen, there is a small TV with a red status LED, which due to the window construction reflects twice.

As I naively walked into my kitchen, the only person in my house awake in the early morning, the rocks and lights lined up in an alarming way. I got quite a start.

(I know the picture isn't great quality ... I think the phone camera didn't want to focus on reflections. Also I zoomed in to hide my kitchen clutter.)

edit: Clarifications.
