Kittens Inspired by David After Dentist.

This makes me laugh too hard.  I’m not sure why, but it seems to improve so much on both originals.

A couple of years ago, Dave S and I came upon the brilliant idea of publishing a book we’d call “Kitticisms”.  It would contain photos of kittens in various situations, with intentionally not-funny thought-balloons showing what they’re thinking.  You know:  Kitticisms!
A fantastic idea, we thought, easy to do and sure to make us millionaires.  This was maybe six months before “I can has a cheeseburger?” and LOLCats exploded onto the world.
Like all our ideas, though, we did nothing with it, and then it was too late, because we couldn’t/didn’t want to compete with LOLcats.

And now, this video has trumped all of us all, because it is the best kitten themed thing ever.

as an added bonus, i will post a photo that some web-program named Zemanta has deemed relevant to the words I’ve typed in this post.  That’s it up there, the picture of the cheeseburger.  That’s a good looking cheeseburger.

Dear Penthouse Letters,
I never thought I’d ever be writing to you, but after what happened to me recently, I just had to share the experience.
I am a young, attractive, male premier of a small Canadian province.  At a recent premier’s conference, I became attracted to the demeanor of a brash, outspoken fellow-premier.  After seeing his passion in action, I knew he was a “have” that this “have-not” politician just had to get to know better.
Anyway, without getting into too much detail, I ended up in bed with this person and he got on top and gave me the shaft.
I was not surprised, because my uncle always used to tell me when “two men get into bed together, one is going to get the shaft”. You may think it’s a grotesque scene, as my uncle does, but that is your hangup.  I saw it as a mutual exploration; two grown men stroking each other’s caucus.

I just hope he calls me for a second date.

Sincerely,
Red In The Tie, But Not In The Face

I didn’t read the CBC New Story, but my guess would be it’s because most men don’t like the taste of warm milk.

The main reason, according to a CIHI (Canadian Institute for Health Information) report, is that, “historically, because of the long waits at Island hospitals for any kind of service, pregnant Island women have become socio-geograpically predisposed to keeping their clams shut tight until the very last second.”

see the full story here.

In a related report, also from the CIHI, PEI ranks equal with the rest of the Canadian provinces for immature births.  “It’s an interesting statistic,” says Eloise Placente, an analytical manager with CIHI. “Every province in Canada reports an almost 100% rate of immature births.  Practically every baby born in Canada seems to be childish and immature.”

It should be noted that Placente is not married.

It used to be that when I’d go to the public men’s room on the floor where I work in the ATC, it was practically guaranteed that there’d be someone else, usually more than one, in there already.  If not, then rest assured at least one person would come in before I’d leave.
What I’m saying is:  it used to be a busy bathroom.  Too busy for the two toilets, one urinal and two sinks found therein.
But not so much anymore.  I guess it’s a sign of the economic down-turn, or a dis-satisfaction with renting at the ATC, but fewer clients in the building means fewer people in the bathroom.

So much so that now sometimes when I go into the bathroom, the lights are off.  I assume they’re on a timer, and when it was busy, the timer never got to activate.

Sometimes when I go into that dark bathroom, I’ve thought that it would be a neat prank to go into the bathroom, go into one of the stalls, stay there, motionless, until the lights went out.  Then, when someone came in, activating the lights to go on, he’d think he was alone.  Then, you know, you’d start making noises or something to surprise or scare him.

Yeah, I agree:  “neat prank” is far too generous a classification.  Unless your definition of “neat” is akin to “lame”.

The real joke would be for you to go to the trouble of going in, sitting there as still as you need to be, lights go out, and then nobody comes in for the rest of the day.  Now, that’s comedy!

Is this the most expensive home ever listed on PEI?  7.75 million dollars.

Located at Cable Head, PEI

More images can be found here and here.  Maybe the same images for both links?

I’d live in it.  Although it does seem a bit sprawling in its design.  And I think some landscaping around the home would really add a lot to the overall ambience.

Here’s a video of Flight of the Conchords playing at a record store in April.  Lots of fun.
Question: how long before David Bowie performs “Bowie” with FotC?
