This is clearly not my cat. If this was my cat he's have one arm shoved down into the printer trying to tear up all the internal whirling bits with his bare claws.

Too Funny! Reminds me of the San Mateo Cat Shelter where one of the cats loves to sleep on top of the laster printer where the paper comes out...

1600+ to beat the FFundercats live chat thread. I think with this real time now on all threads we're going to see some truly epic comment numbers.

Ivan, no the picture speaks for itself. ;-)

Petr, I have no idea what you mean, but thank you. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" ..
- Petr Buben
there ya have me ! :] .... see, to be honest with you, i saw this pic couple days ago, but i let it go, without posting it ..... what does that make me? :]
- Petr Buben
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Hehe, Greg. Blimey! Erm, is that not far from 500 likes now? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Bloody marvelous, Kol. Wish I could like it again... too cute (and help u to 500 likes).
- Roberto Bonini
I couldn't believe it when I logged on from the morning over posting it and saw it was at something 200 likes! You all have a strange fetish with cats and fax machines, hehe. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Am I the only one who saw this and their first thought was - My goodness did someone break that cats neck? It still freaks me out a little
- Steve C
Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
They fax much better if you flatten them first. What?
- Kevin Pedraja
So we can put this post to rest now. :-) 505 likes final count, wow! :-D Good night all!
- Kol Tregaskes
My like is the last one so far :) - 509 afaik
- getalifejerk
did 3 people really un-like this? now at 506. wtf (edit: uh, oh, yeah, me and 2 + 506 others makes 509. dammit, jim, i'm an artist, not a mathematician)

It's really only social convention which regards it as inappropriate, same with Xeroxing it, like one does with their b__tocks. Wait are we still talking about cats cats here or...

"Live streaming powerhouse Justin.tv knows that the masses want live video on their favorite social network as well. That’s why today the service is launching Live by Justin.tv, a Facebook app that not only lets you watch live streams, but broadcast as well. The app is very straightforward: it provides a live stream, broadcast information, and integrates with the Facebook live stream box so that users can discuss what’s happening in a live video in real-time, with those messages also serving as status updates. It’s minimalist, which makes sense, since this app is all about the video."

(DISCLAIMER: This is not real) NEW YORK - Idaho resident Kathy Evans brought humiliation to her friends and family Tuesday when she set a new standard for stupidity with her appearance on the popular TV show, 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.' It seems that Evans, a 32-year-old wife and mother of two, got stuck on the first question, and proceeded to make what fans of the show are dubbing 'the absolute worst use of lifelines ever.'
- Josh Haley
After being introduced to the show's host Meredith Vieira, Evans assured her that she was ready to play, whereupon she was posed with an extremely easy $100 question. The question was: 'Which of the following is the largest?'
- Josh Haley
A) A Peanut B) An Elephant C) The Moon D) Hey, who you calling large?
- Josh Haley
Immediately Mrs. Evans was struck with an all consuming panic as she realized that this was a question to which she did not readily know the answer. 'Hmm, oh boy, that's a toughie,' said Evans, as Vieira did her level best to hide her disbelief and disgust. 'I mean, I'm sure I've heard of some of these things before, but I have no idea how large they would be.'
- Josh Haley
(CONTINUING) Evans made the decision to use the first of her three lifelines, the 50/50. Answers A and D were removed, leaving her to decide which was bigger, an elephant or the moon. However, faced with an incredibly easy question, Evans still remained unsure. 'Oh! It removed the two I was leaning towards!' exclaimed Evans. 'Darn. I think I better phone a friend.'
- Josh Haley
Using the second of her two lifelines on the first question, Mrs. Evans asked to be connected with her friend Betsy, who is an office assistant. 'Hi Betsy! How are you? This is Kathy! I'm on TV!' said Evans, wasting the first seven seconds of her call. 'Ok, I got an important question. Which of the following is the largest? B, an elephant, or C, the moon. 15 seconds hun.' Betsy quickly replied that the answer was C, the moon. Evans proceeded to argue with her friend for the remaining ten seconds.
- Josh Haley
'Come on Betsy, are you sure?' said Evans. 'How sure are you? Duh, that can't be it.' To everyone's astonishment, the moronic Evans declined to take her friend's advice and pick 'The Moon.' 'I just don't know if I can trust Betsy. She's not all that bright. So I think I'd like to ask the audience,' said Evans. Asked to vote on the correct answer, the audience returned 98% in favor of answer C, 'The Moon.' Having used up all her lifelines, Evans then made the dumbest choice of her life.
- Josh Haley
'Wow, seems like everybody is against what I'm thinking,' said the too-stupid-to-live Evans. 'But you know, sometimes you just got to go with your gut. So, let's see. For which is larger, an elephant or the moon, I'm going to have to go with B, an elephant. Final answer.' Evans sat before the dumbfounded audience, the only one waiting with bated breath, and was told that she was wrong, and that the answer was in fact, C, 'The Moon.' (END)

RAP - they are a hit in the office. :) I "tasted" a couple last night..and soon realized that I should be using extra stout when baking. The texture is perfect -- more moisture and hint of beer is more apparent. I will try other forms of alcohol. Most likely bourbon.
- Melissa
Whoa, these sound really different...yum?! :)
- Susan Beebe
I'm not a fan of these (in general), as they're always too heavy when people make them. There is a bakery in Glendale (Burbank?) that has them though and they are tasty as hell, light and fluffy. YUM.
- Admiral Anika
Susan - they are good. And yes, I am biased.
- Melissa
Anika - gooey cream cheese frosting with more Guinness used in place of milk.
- Melissa
They look awesome! Can we get a recipe?
- Aaron Hood
Nicely done. I fully support cream cheese frosting on these sort of cakes. My friend makes hers with this light airy frosting, but her cakes are like little bricks and the frosting gets lost in the heaviness of it.
- Admiral Anika
you have 8 days left to bake a batch for me. please and thank you.
- tiffany
Tiff - I have other surprises in the mix for you. Get your *ss here already. xo

Yo, at least that role in BHC was written for comedy but getting pinched for driving around in a Porsche in the Hollywood Hills snorting a boat load of coke with a hooker and dropping f bombs all over the place really takes the innocence out Perfect Strangers... haha
- Live4Emma (L4S)
OMG ANIKA!!! i sing that just about every time i cook. ;)
- Chris Hollander
This is truly awesome. Director Ron Howard goes back to his acting roots to demonstrate his conviction for his desired Presidential candidate.
- Steve Isaacs
Um, why would having Obama as President make me trust the government "again"? And, if we have been on a wrong and divisive path for eight years, why would choosing a wrong and divisive path be a solution? Cute, but without substance. Not unlike the candidate he is promoting, I suppose. Well made video, though.
- ComicList
I like seeing Richie and The Fonz together again. They both look great,
- Capn' One Eye - adrift
sean you know exactly where that dude is coming from. spelling things out isn't going to make him see the light no matter how hard you try. can't reason with those kinds of people
- Cee Bee
Fantastic and fun. Way to go Ron Howard, Henry Winkler, and the guy before my time.
- Kenley Neufeld
it was pretty funny. i like the concept of that "dinner." you can say whatever you want as long as you're funny
- Cee Bee
The both of them were pretty funny. I liked the end of Obama's speech, tho'.
- Helen Sventitsky
yeah i thought mccain was real funny. he had me crackin up a couple of times. perhaps there's a future for him on comedy central
- Cee Bee
Last night I saw clips of their speeches on Anderson Cooper 360 (on CNN), and wanted to find full videos. Stumbled across a story about the dinner on Huffington Post where I watched the Obama video. Had to go to YouTube for a better copy of McCain's speech. I should've known it would be posted here! :)
- Cheryl Jones
Welcome everyone - sorry for the move, but it seemed appropriate to have the room and the URL be "sustainable" past the debates - didn't plan on that much great activity when the debates weren't being televised.
This is utterly hilarious but potentially the most dangerous thing I've ever read. If anything were to happen to McC, she would have nuclear codes...
- Mona Nomura
wow! Palin has a serious gap in education or she is overly keen to get herself a negative PR. Dinosaurs were allegedly extinct by 60 million years ago and the first traces of humanoids are recorded from around 7 million years ago (DNA dating of common ancestors of humans and common chimps).
- Hayk H.
Even if I *was* for McCain? I wouldn't vote for him BECAUSE of Palin. Dinosaurs and people coexisted? :O
- Mona Nomura
Nobody here seen Jurassic Park? They've got proof, people! Cameras don't lie!

Don't ever make her your Vice President then. Next week she will say that earth revolves around the sun
- Varun Mahajan
While I do enjoy these little looks into the dumber side of the V candidate, and I don't doubt that there are still many 1000's of people who believe this, The source in the article is a bit suspect. A guy who runs an anti-Palin web site just happens to remember this discussion? I sure it could be true, but until I hear her say it I will put faith in modern education. Still won't vote for any ticket she is a part of.
- Sean Brady
He writes a liberal political blog and has openly criticized her, but I agree, they should've included audio. Though given her Quayle-Dubya like blunders, I really wouldn't be surprised. LOL
- Mona Nomura
This article STILL makes me laugh (even if it may not be true LOL)
- Mona Nomura
So we have a single unsubstantiated report that she said something stupid... something that is at odds with her upbringing (father was a biology professor) and her policies (she publicly declared that she does not think creationist theories need to be part of school curriculums and never attempted to use her influence to legislate anything of the type) and not supported by a single statement we actually have from her on record. It's an amusing rumor - but only a rumor.

I don't think you read the thread, Soulhuntre...
- Mona Nomura
That's great. It means that we may not run out of oil after all because it gets recreated very quickly.
- Peter Ghosh
I did - that's why I modified my first post (which was much more contentious) to something I hoped fit in better with the tone :) One of the dangers of Twhirl is the tendency to just skim a few replies instead of all of them. I'm trying to get better about that and shoot less from the hip :)

Actually I doubt she said that, but regardless *leaps onto brontosaurus, yehaaa!*
- Mo Kargas
I think we should all make claims based on absolutely no research whatsoever. It's easy. For example, I now believe that the Egyptian Pyramids were really just ancient nightclubs for werewolves and mummys.

I just started reading Ronald Reagan's autobiography and can't help but admire his portrayal of America during his youth days. While there were obvious inequalities and a lot of problems, the country seemed unified in its ideals of what made America great--of what made America worth fighting for. An investment in infrastructure--especially mass transit in and between major cities--could be the link towards getting us back on track.
- Blake N. Cooper
Things are shaping up that way. We're going to have to factor $8 per gallon gasoline into our thinking. We got a reprieve, gas prices have dropped rapidly. Now's the time to swallow hard and add some new taxes to pay for development of mass transit and subsidizing it where it already exists. I hope other Americans are ready for that.
