Animals as medical devices... isn't that a euphemism for food?

Who the hell says I don't eat these things? Sounds like another "authority" with letters after their name assuming that most people are stupid.

In "Mofi has seemed to be fading for a while,"

I’m still here. I read MoFi almost everyday, but for some reason, I’ve run out of comments. For a while there I was pretty damn active, and now… nuthin. But that doesn’t mean I don’t still enjoy the MoFi. Please keep it around. Oh, and I haven’t looked at teh Blue in over a year now. I think I even cleared it off of my bookmarks. Yup

What should you call her? Why "Your Highness", of course. Re: diet. Cats are by nature hunters, and their digestive tracts are made for processing raw meat and grasses. We feed our old ladies raw ground meat (beef, chicken, turkey, goat, lamb) and mix in brewer's yeast, chopped parsley, and that's about it. If little snoogums is particularly sensitive or young, you can get away with rice with chicken broth. Perhaps a little egg yolk for texture and flavor. Good luck and welcome to the fuzzy side.

Dear TUM, Whilst I generally hold your comments in the highest esteem, and find you to be genuinely witty; I'm coming out of lurker hiding to inform you that your last comment fell flat. Like a mud wall. with love, Zanshin

In "Curious George: Fake Blogs"

From a Wired article on Splogs. The pay-per-click advertising that accounts for most of Google's income (and, increasingly, for the incomes of Yahoo and MSN Search, the two other big search engines) has become an irresistible magnet for hucksters, con artists, and chiselers. "The three main search engines are gateways to a huge percentage of the US and world economy," says Anil Dash, a vice president of the blog-hosting company Six Apart. "If your Web site appears high up on their results, thousands or millions of people will go to it." If even a small fraction of those people click on the ads on that site, "you're going to make a lot of money" – and sploggers are going after it. Because the ad money is effectively available only to Web sites that appear in the first page or two of search results, spammers devote enormous efforts to gaming Google, Yahoo, and their ilk. Search engines rank Web sites in large part by counting the number of other sites that link to them, assigning higher placement in results to sites popular enough to be referred to by many others. To mimic this popularity, spammers create bogus networks of interconnected sites called link farms. Blogs – most of which are in essence little more than collections of links with commentary – are particularly useful elements in them. The result, Dash says, "is what you'd expect: The blogosphere is increasingly polluted by spam."

Once, having consumed a hallucinogen, in Boston in wintertime I watched a man throw-up a milky white liquid on the bus. I then walked through Somerville admiring the jesus's-in-bathtubs in everyone's frontyards.
