* * * Recently I got a Google hit for “white fluffy kernels you can eat.” Do you suppose someone couldn’t think of the word “popcorn”? Other interesting recent Google and Yahoo hits: I hate Phil Hellmuth (I do!) how does the inside know what is going on outside of grasshopper (um… what?) how do you stop okra from being slimy? (you don’t. It ain’t possible. Unless you deep fry it or bread it, maybe? Even then, there’s a certain amount of sliminess. But it’s slimy in a good way!) best oyster cornbread dressing (I don’t know about oyster cornbread dressing, but my father-in-law (Fred’s stepfather) makes an oyster dressing that is to DIE FOR) and my favorite, an image search on christmas fuck up brought up this image:
I pointed out to Fred the other day that we have a tendency to adopt cats in the Fall. Except for the late lamented Tubby (we got him in the Summer) and Spot (Fred can’t remember what time of year he showed up on Fred’s doorstep), we’ve gotten all our cats in the Fall. Spanky was a Christmas present, and Fred brought him home near the beginning of December. Miz Poo came home in November. We adopted the Boog in October. Tommy in mid-October of this year, and Sugarbutt in early November.
All I can guess is that with the holiday season coming on, our defenses are low, and we go a little crazy with the kitten love.
