I was on board up to McCoy...
That thar is a 'torbie'... a tortoiseshell tabby... and they're all female. (Or, I suppose, have Kleinfelter's syndrome if you want to get technical.) Tortoiseshell is a sex-linked color trait tied specifically to girls.

So either McCoy's been hiding something from us for all these years, or they probably should've picked a different cat. Silver tabby maybe?

I admit, I'm mostly struck by the fact he could find that many guys that could FIT in their girlfriend's clothes, nevermind looking good in them. I'm surprised they don't all look like overstuffed sausages.

On reading the article, though, most of those species have probably been extinct for decades. It just seems like people drag on, hoping that one will miraculously turn up, and then eventually have to admit that they won't. Yes, it's sad that they're gone (although I'm not sure about that frog; like the "Florida Panther" we still have lots of the same species, it's just one small subspecies that's extinct), but it's not really breaking news either.

Just a FYI, the GAME "Christmas Tinner" is a hoax... or, well, an advertising ploy, anyway. As for the rest... just hearing about that "TurDunkin" makes my arteries clench in terror.

It put me either in Newark or eastern Florida...neither of which accurately represents, in any sense, where I actually live. XD (In fact, I live in the deep Southwest.)
That said, I moved around almost constantly as a kid, and went to school in Missouri, so I've been exposed to so many dialects that I can use 'sunshower' and 'sneakers' on one hand, and then turn around and use 'y'all'.

I imagine the 'desecrated' tag was simply a pun on 'dessicated', or dried. Not that the new tag probably isn't somewhat more applicable.

Now if they'd just stop using liquid satan... I mean, corn syrup...

I switched to Xing purely because they use sugar and not corn slime.

It's true... I've been to Disneyland with a legitimately wheelchair-bound person AND been stuck in one myself (thanks to an unexpected bout with a severely-debilitating round of norovirus during my trip), and I can totally confirm that a) having a chair doesn't allow you to skip all the lines ... in fact, the newer the ride, the less likely you'll get cuts, and b) Disney doesn't check or anything when you rent that chair in the first place. All I had to do was say 'I've been really ill, I can't walk for very long' and boom, chair. (and chair-related sunburn but that's another issue.)

Hiring someone to ferry you around is definitely something for the people with money to burn, and that's fine, that's why tour guides exist. But cutting lines as the primary reason? Nah. These people just want someone to ferry them around and treat them special, and if they want to fork over lots of cash to do it, then fine, that's why it's a business.

Also, just for the record... as a big Disneyphile, I can say that skipping the lines and going in the side entrance actually detracts from the ride, for me anyway. They're always unadorned access doors, pretty much, and you lose the immersion that is part and parcel of the Disney experience. The Haunted Mansion used to have a 'secret pet cemetery' that only the handicapped visitors got to see (it's over on the left side and hidden from the main queue) but after it got around, they moved a duplicate version out into the main queue anyway. And I've always felt riding back up in the 'stretching room' sort of ruins the illusion.

I once saw a pair of felt antlers (a christmas festive hatband thing) at a convenience store. The paper tag at the top had a smiling child wearing them.... and the note: Child not included.

The antlers were in a plastic bag about six inches square, btw.

Well, if it really is WoW, all he has to do to thwart his father and waste his money is transfer (or reroll) onto a non-PVP (player-versus-player) server. Opposing faction players can't touch you on 75% of World of Warcraft servers, so he can play in peace all he wants to.

Of course, if you already play on a PVP server then you're probably used to being repeatedly ganked as soon as you log in, so there's probably not much change in quality of life (death?) there either.

heh. Google believes I am an 18-24 aged male.

I am, in fact, almost 40 and female. Let's hear it for living young? Or... bad analytics. One of the two.

Yeahhh...edible? Self-correcting problem! Big, abundant, and free...

Help the homeless in your community! (frankly, I'd bet if you cleaned them and made soup, you wouldn't be able to tell it from clam chowder. A mollusk is a mollusk, when it comes down to it. Maybe some fashionista can design highly popular 'green' faux-tortoise-shell accessories from the shell, too.
