...so global warming is just a farse! Stop worring and start praying jesus returns soon...

But what if when Jesus comes back, the first thing he says is, "We're not going anywhere until you clean up this mess!"

If you're a single woman or a widow, I think you're allowed to have one cat for every five years you have lived.

So, for example, if you're 50, you can have 10 cats.

My universe has been restored to equilibrium, thanks.

When I saw you talking about combating global warming, I had a serious Bizarro World moment. I was half expecting Rod Serling to step out from behind a rock any second. (Yes I know I'm mixing my refe

I don't believe that, but then I don't lose any sleep over global warming and the starving masses in the third world, either. People who argue we need to radically change our ways to deal with those problems should be making the case against pets.

"Waste"?

Do you really believe that, or are you just being deliberately provocative, as you often are?

Don't insult Shumway that way ;-)

I think the only appropriate step to take is to ban pet owners. Take the entire selfish lot out and shoot the ... NOW WAIT JUST A GODDAMN MINUTE!

Americans waste over $41 billion a year on pets. But forget about the direct costs. Think of the effect on the enviroment that producing and transporting the food

Shumway and I are a gang?

Yep, almost as funny as you and shumway gang raping 5th graders. ROTFLMAO

Yeah, that was laugh-out-loud, spit-your-coffee funny.

Lou: Re: I'm not beurre.

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 11:00:46 EST

Yeah, I bet. Check my earlier comments about cons being braying fratboys giving the world a wedgie.

But other than that, I agree...nothing is funnier than spuriously accusing someone of child molestation. Comedy gold.

The funniest thing I read recently was Urkel's comment about Paul Krugman.

that may be one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. Bravo <> Oh yuck!

I'm down to two cats, and that seems about right. I had three cats, and that was one too many. Two cats are easier to take care of than one. They entertain each other quite well. My brother has five, and that would drive me insane.<

I had a hundred pet moths. They like the light, you know.

I clapped my hands and a dozen of them died. C'est la vie.

Well, Lou can apparently recommend a good therapist. But I'd better keep my sanity. My insurance deductibles go up after the 10th therapy visit, I'm told.

I firmly believe it only becomes a problem when it infringes on the rights of others. For example, owning a large number of pets you can care for safely in the confines of your house, fine. Getting a string of unlicensed, unvaccinated pitbulls and attack r

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 12:17:07 EST

I am beyond belief that a). Brookfield is thinking about enacting such a restrictive ordinance based upon one family's allegedly bad behavior, and b). the propensity for people to avoid enforcing existing rules and laws and instead adopt brainless laws

MayorBob: We have two Westies and four cats.

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 10:24:50 EST
All have been neutered (all the cats came by way of rescue operations). The cats are indoor animals strictly and our back yard is fenced so that when the Westies are out, the only thing they can do is bark at the bunnies in neighboring yards and attempt,

Wow, this really makes me feel weird. Why? Because my situation is very similar to the one in the story - with the exception that I have never had an escape or a complaint.
My Significant Other and I have quite unintentionally found ourselves running a
