Last night In the car on the way back from dinner, Cat Stevens' "Peace Train" was on the radio.

After listening for a bit, my 14 year old son said "I don't think I'd want to ride on the peace train, it sounds like it'd be full of hippies."

I remember my three or four-year-old niece complaining that an antique barn we'd taken her to was full of old, dirty stuff.

'Lose their talents'???? Is that the talent for fucking it all up whilst pocketing an enormous wedge?

You know your phrase has reached ubiquity when newspaper headline writers use it to make headlines. Here's an article entitled "Fairytale of New Physics".

Or maybe there is a folk-punk aficionado as the science editor for the Guardian since there is also an article about a "Theory of Everything", which since I don't know anything about any actual physics reminds me of Gogol Bordello's "Super Theory of Super Everything".

A sure sign that the economy is screwed is when they start giving out discount vouchers for Poundland.

That sounds dirty.

The cat likes to eat certain leaves that fall on the balcony. Then he vomits somewhere in the apartment.

Presuming he understands or perhaps instinctively requires that leaves=puking, should he be prevented from eating leaves so cleaning isn't required, or should he be allowed to eat the leaves as nature may suggest leaving his roommate to deal with the consequences?

Our cat goes down the garden, eats grass, and comes back and pukes it up in the house. I've always assumed it was a deliberate emetic sort of thing, but it could well be that she just does it to annoy me.

Hairball removal, I believe.

Yes, I think that's an element of it, at least. It's the coming-back-into-the-house-to-puke thing that always gets me. I suppose it's a sort of "Look at me, I'm really ill! Give me love! Give me food!" Mind you, I suppose we've all done that in our time.

The cat

Does said cat have an interesting name?


I've read that brushing a cat daily is the best thing for hairballs or you can give it a small amount of wet food as the oil will assist. That stuff in the tube you put on their paw looks vile.

Though you hear nightmare stories of people running out of the expensive food they get at pet shops or the vet and grabbing a can of something at the grocery store that's tainted. Not tampered with but poisonous from the source. WTF?

I am cat sitting a nineteen-year-old cat named McKinnon who dismisses his specially purchased digestive grass to eat scrubs. When I watched him last year he was dropping gopher butts around. Now there's a young neighbor cat that runs by with lizards.

Cats, cats, cats!

My favorite family cat, Gatsby, got swooped down on by a hawk during their supervised outside time. My sister thinks Gatsby could've fought it off because she is built like a barrel and crazy. We all know she was lucky not to get slashed. Terrible.

I also read that laundry borax is highly toxic to cats, requires a blood transfusion if they survive.
