Smooshy is adorable. He looks a lot like our cat, Bailey, who will NOT allow belly rubs. But our other cat, Banjo, does and follows me around everywhere looking for attention. Cats are awesome.

Now all we need is a video game about the “Meat” from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Ms. O has mixed feelings about anthropomorphized food items who are thrilled to have been put on this Earth for the sole purpose of being eaten alive, aware of every bite that devours them.

A candy ad with a content warning. O America, bless your heart.

I sympathize with difficulties dealing with the packaging. In my youth candy, breakfast cereal, whatnot, came in basically waxed paper which could easily be teased apart without collateral damage, but these days Superior Materiel Science has given us Really Secure Packages that require tools. I think it's a plot to make Olds feel Old because we can't even do the things that used to be easy any more.

"these days Superior Materiel Science has given us Really Secure Packages that require tools"

well, the SMS wasn't around -- so one could make the argument that it is just an undeveloped whippersnapper and all we really need is another set of knives?

Senior Olympics should have opening a case of Doritos bags as an event.

Sadly I am unable to post a picture of Cooper who will also let you give him belly rubs. Nonetheless happy Caturday.

Oh lordy Smooshy! La Floof ne plus ultra!

Anyway, so I read somewhere that video game articles are something like 80% of all content on Wikipedia.

I really like the work of this artist, Alison Friend. Her paintings are funny and sweet.

Interestingly, I find myself feeling more judged than charmed.

It is also National Fritters Day.

The food, not the action of frittering things away.

Well, if you are going to fritter away the time, it helps to be munching on something tasty.

So on topic, I'm surprised one of us doesn't burst into tears at the beauty of the symmetry.

The equity firm that bought the name Sports Illustrated and has AI write the majority of their content, has named Deion Sanders their Sportsman of the year. What was it that turned your head, SI? Was it the 5 game losing streak, was it the zero wins in the Pac 12, or maybe it was the sunglasses being worn inside the building with the giant swinging gold cross? JFC.

I just like the warm fuzzy in my tummy thinking about Deion pacing the sidelines lately muttering bible verses to himself. Surely there is an appropriate verse 'splaining why other teams are now basking in the glow of Divine Blessing while the Buffs wander in the wilderness alone and forsaken.

How soon before he laments "Father! Why have you abandoned me?"

Apparently they decided on Deon after the first moth of the season. Then his team cratered, because they aren't very good. Oh well. College football doesn't really exist now. It's football but college has nothing to do with it, thanks to the advent of the NIL.

You are correct. If one more announcer uses the phrase student athlete, I might lose it.

Bartender Appreciation Day? A few of us regular bartender customers are going to lunch in an hour with our favorite bartender (OK, they're all favorites). A local restaurant has started switching their taps from Oktoberfest's to doppelbocks, and we're celebratoring. Cloudy, chilly outside, but warm in our bellies.
