I Called In Sick Today


Recommended Posts

Want to hear something kind of cool? No? There are a bunch of places, all universities, I think, that are now offering kidney transplants for cats in early renal failure without any complicating factors. But speedz, how could they steal a kidney from another cat, which obviously is incapable of consenting? Well, idiot, they take shelter cats that are slated to be euthanized for space reasons but are very adoptable, and the condition for the surgery is that the owner of the kidney recipient adopt the donor cat for the rest of its life. Win/win/win.

and after 3 days, he is risen!

If you are paying $20 for a haircut, I imagine people assume you did it yourself anyway.

Pocket change cost me my first and only black girlfriend.   It was in the middle of a roaring poker boom and I was flush in ways most men don't even bother dreaming of. Money, it was like dirt to me

can you keep me up to speed on how many cats are saved through this thing so I can go indiscriminately kill a different cat for each one saved? I've been listening to metal so I'm angrier than usual.

Today may be a picture day, at least until the Pats game, during which my buddy is bringing over his deep fryer. The menu (all fried, of course): mini beef wellingtons, steak and cheese calzones, mac & cheese, and samosas. Oh, right, but the pictures. Here's one of cats! It's what can happen in the five seconds it takes for me to turn around and fold a shirt. dryercats.jpgI think I'll try to find a few of my halloween costume, too. I dressed up in my three piece liesure suit and threw on a chicken mask. Seems pretty boring, right? Wrong. The key is to get really, really drunk, and do creepy things. I spent some of the evening dancing by myself in the corner of the room with the dance floor. I spent most of the rest of the evening in a side room that was empty except for the occasional group of people walking through, or stopping in for a break from the party. I just sat in an armchair in the corner of the room and waited. People loved it, and for some reason pretty much every girl requested a picture sitting in my lap. Oh, and I didn't speak...didn't want to ruin the image. Here's a closeup of me in my "waiting to creep peOople out" chair. Oh, and my girlfriend, who was dressed as Margot Tenenbaum, was instrumental in encouraging girls to sit in my lap for photos. I rewarded her by being kind of an ass once I was way too drunk, and puking in her bathroom at 3am.chicken1.jpgAlso, I apparently posted for pictures like this.chickene.jpg
Sadly I suspect most people didn't recognize your costume...

Ever since our cats got murdered by IAMS PET FOOD Deb has been unwilling to get a new cat. Over the last few months I could see her warming up to the idea again though when I've mentioned it. When we were in Amish country on vacation, right before we left to go home we made one last stop. It was someone's home that had some odds and ends that were pretty cool and was having a yard sale. I found the place the last morning while I was out running. Anywho, when we stopped this little kitten about 3 months old came out from their garage and ran to Deb and hopped up on her. Both our eyes went wide with dissbelief. It immediately started snuggling with her and licking her face. I said, "looks you're getting a cat". She said, the only way I'll get one is it is a brother/sister combo. Just then, another one came out and after checking me out, hopped up on a bench that was there and started pawing at her. I took the first cat and then the second one jumped up on her and immediately made himself at home and started cuddling up for a nap in her arms. Deb has always said, that if we got more cats she would know which ones were the right ones. I asked her if she was done and she yes, if they were willing to part with them.The lady came out and was super cool and nice and we ended up buying a ton of stuff off of her and she even gave us a tour of her house, but she wouldn't part with the cats. I kept thinking if I bought more stuff she'd change her mind, but no go. I even gave her the sob story, but it didn't do any good. Oh well, one of my typical boring stories with no real meaning or ending or pictures even but it's not like there is much going on today. I guess everyone is looking at www.tebowing.com or something.

Have you seen the movie Win/Win? It has nothing to do with cats, but it's really good.
Not yet, but I've been meaning to. This pretty much clinches it that I'll get it done this week.Also, I really hope you do steal the costume. A bunch of people today told me it was great, and they agreed that it's all about the character. Dancing alone in corners. Sitting alone in rooms. Being creepy. Never speaking. Et cetera. Oh, and I drank by occasionally sneaking a nip of whiskey from my flask when alone.Of course, it's good to be in a mixed crowd...some friends that would love it, and some acquaintances that would be creeped out by it, thus increasing the enjoyment for your friends.

Yeah, time for cats. Remind Deb that while she's waiting for a magical time when a cat will arrive at her door, there are hundreds of cats in your area that need good homes. You could hit up a few shelters, play with the current inhabitants, and see if any of them seem like a good fit...you don't have to put pressure on yourselves, just remember that you'll only take home the perfect cat for you, and if you don't meet one, no big deal. I'm a huge, huge proponent of finding an adult (over a year) cat that already has a formed personality so you can make sure it would be a good fit.Edit: Sorry, I should have put that in the "ask speedz" thread. Although nobody really asked me anything, per se...

A couple was arrested for eating a sandwich in a grocery story and not paying for it. The story is a little confusing...if they both ate the sandwiches and ditched the wrappers, it was almost definitely on purpose. If just she did it, I feel like it could have been an accident. Either way, what's your call on punishment? I'd go with a stern lecture in the manager's office and ban from the store. I feel like doing what they did was just asking for trouble, whether or not the "theft" was planned.

The sandwiches were $5. They paid for the rest of the groceries ~$50. If they are shoplifters, they are doing it wrong. I'd go with, make them pay for the sandwiches and that's it. Not arrest them and ensure their 3 year old spends the night with child welfare services. Now, it's going to be ridiculously bad publicity for them all over five bucks (that the couple immediately offered to pay).

Had a dream last night I had sex with Shelby "I write things with my face" Fero while she was wearing a R. Gronkowski jersey. Afterwards I immediately felt bad for doin that to Shake's gal and was going to send him a pm saying i was sorry, but then I realized I was in a dream and that didn't really happen. And then I got a Forgot to mention from Halloween, ended up making out a little bit with my old (female) roommate but it was just drunken shenanigans/her being a whore. It was kind of funny though as at one point the dude who she obviously was going to go home with came up to me and was like "sorry, bro, let me buy you a shot" which I was all for as there's zero chance she'd ever sleep with me (way out of my league) and this dude thought I was a legit contender and was upset he was going to win or something. I don't know, I got free booze.

there just has to be something more noteworthy happening today. there just has to be.
Like, in the world? I'm sure lots of people are killing and being killed.

Well of course they immediately offered to pay it. I think it's the principle of the thing...but, really, how much money does a supermarket lose a year because of the "eat it while walking around and don't pay for it" scam? Ten grand? I guess maybe if you have a chain of five hundred grocery stores, that adds up. This is bad publicity, but nobody is going to stop shopping there because of it, and it might stop other people from that kind of theft in the future. When I was in high school I used to do it, and seeing this story would have made me think twice.

Yeah, I just made the decision to buy that single yesterday, so thanks a lot IDIOT. I love that musc video though, pretty much me dancing if I was a middle aged black man. Not even joking, that second little move he does is my staple drunk dance move and is even called "the Herman shuffle" by my friends.
