Elderly Cat

Webcomic artist Alison Wilgus (previously at Neatorama) drew a tribute to her elderly cat, Julien Bashir. Julien is 22 years old, which is extremely old for a cat. It’s pretty straightforward, because like all creatures, Julien has his own personality and his own individual charms, habits, foibles, and challenges. This is just one panel of Julien’s life story; the rest is at Wilgus’ site. The way she simply appreciates him for who he is will make you want to hug your own kitty. -via Metafilter

Our oldest cat died at 23, so I feel for this. She was so battered that the kids called her the zombie cat - she looked like she'd been buried and dug up several times. She spent all day on a terrarium heatpad, except when forced out for a pee by hydraulic pressure.
Occasionally she'd swap the heatpad for a lap. Shrimp couldn't get onto the settee without us leaving a cushion on the floor for her to use as steps.

Bacon lovers are probably afraid of aggressive male sexuality, due to the food's resemblance to a limp, nonfunctional phallus. Either that or, uh, they enjoy the taste of greasy, yummy breakfast meat. I'm not very good at this Freud thing, to be honest.

Bacon is a wonderful thing, but I would not want to chew it for much longer than it takes to swallow it. So yeah, I wouldn't touch these gumballs with a ten foot pole.

I went to Archie McPhee's recently and got the bacon jellybeans as I told my friends, "bacon jellybeans are better left imagined than tasted." But the bacon shaped tin is awesome...

Really? Can we all STOP with the bacon already? I just wrote a blog post about how over bacon I am -- read more of my ranting here: http://randomaccessbabble.com/2009/01/move-over-bacon.html
