My mom was too cheap for that good stuff, we had to freeze Kool-Aid in these stupid things

My mom did the same thing.

It is 85 degrees inside my house.  My shirt is soaked and I have a headache.

I wonder if this violates the implied warranty of habitability.  I don't feel like giving notice to these fucks.

85? pussy. You kids these days. In the 70's we survived on box fans.

Korea repeatedly used the only fan I own at night in winter, even after I asked her not to, usually turning it on after I'd gone to sleep.

That fan is no longer, strictly speaking, functional.

Nah, we had those same popsicle molds in South Georgia.  Although we did also occasionally have the flav-o-ice.

[Razgovory]

We usually used the flavor ice.  Since it was much better.

[garbon]

We used them too out in Cali.

Flavor Ice 

The greatest invention ever conceived.

On the 15th of November, I will be in Vienna for a Flogging Molly concert. Just so you know.

I think Flogging Molly is vastly overrated.

I think it's a tupperware thing.  I think we had the same in Canada.

Ditto, I havent seen those in ages.

[Syt]

We had those, too, because we were poor. Frozen orange juice does not good ice cream make.

I like them.

Hold Your Cat Correctly
By The Daily Cat experts

You're good to be concerned, as cats can feel pain when picked up the wrong way. Some very docile cats may tolerate the pain, but the last thing you and other thoughtful owners want to do is to hurt the cat.

One myth is that it's OK to pick up a cat by the scruff of its neck. Mother cats do that safely with their kittens, but it requires a special touch. Veterinarians sometimes use a similar technique. However, they are trained to lift a cat in such a manner.

The Humane Society advises that you approach the cat from either its left or right side, since most cats feel threatened when you come at them head-on. Place one hand under the "armpits" of the front legs and lift. As you do so, use your other hand to scoop up the cat from underneath. This second hand should act as a firm cradle support.

If you do this properly, the lift is like giving your cat a big, safe bear hug. Cats that are used to the treatment will probably approach you in the future, hoping for the positive attention again.

Trojan T-shirt targets German right-wing rock fans

Music fans who took souvenir T-shirts from a rock festival in Gera, eastern Germany, have discovered they hold a secret message.

The so-called Trojan T-shirts bore a design of a skull and right-wing flags and the words "hardcore rebels".

But, once washed, the design dissolves to reveal a message telling people to break with extremism.

Some 250 T-shirts were donated to organisers, who handed them out at the nationalist rock festival in Gera.

The stunt was organised by a left-wing group called Exit, which seeks to reduce the influence of the right-wing in Germany.

"What your T-shirt can do, so can you - we'll help you break with right-wing extremism," the message reads, and provides a contact number for the group.

On its website, Exit said it had made contact with the organisers of the Rock For Germany festival, in its ninth year, using a false name and had offered the T-shirts for free.

The group's founder, Bernd Wagner, said the group hoped its actions would raise awareness among young festival-goers.

"With these T-shirts, we aimed to make ourselves known among right-wingers, especially among young ones who are not yet fully committed to the extreme right," he said, according to the Agence France-Presse news agency.

The Rock For Germany festival had as its slogan "Never again communism - Freedom for Germany".

There was no official reaction from the festival's organisers but a text message was circulating among young people who attended warning them that the T-shirts were fake.
