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...

@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" ..
- pb:
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? :]
- pb:
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)

Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-)

Hehe, Greg. Blimey! Erm, is that not far from 500 likes now? ;-)

Bloody marvelous, Kol. Wish I could like it again... too cute (and help u to 500 likes).

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. ;-)

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, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-)

They fax much better if you flatten them first. What?

So we can put this post to rest now. :-) 505 likes final count, wow! :-D Good night all!

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)

For most situations, I prefer the iPhone. I get really bad reception with my rock.. and it's hard to check my stocks and get directions to the pizza joint with it. But it works great as a makeshift mallet for pounding tent stakes when camping! My iPhone's a little to fragile for that. At least my iPhone can double as a flashlight in a pinch!

I'm sorry for this post, I wanna delete it now. :-) I had an iPhone gift and I'm very happy with my new Apple. She is really better than stone. http://friendfeed.com/e... :-)

More than two centuries after his death, two additional works have recently been identified as being composed by the Austrian master. While the pieces might have been played before, Sunday will be the first time they will be performed as compositions of the popular prodigy"

looks like you could do that, sure....but in this case, I'd clash! cuz if anyone gives you any guff, you can give them a special "kiss" from Hello Kitty!

In the carbon constrained world of the near future, a crack commando unit was sent for rehabilitation by a military court for a emissions that weren't theirs. These men promptly escaped from a small commune in the San Rafael hills to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government and several large corporations, they survive as bloggers and graphic artists. If you have a problem, if no one else you know can help, and if you can find their facebook group, maybe you can hire... The A-Team.

"Last Sunday morning, my son James said, "Dad, what if you made a bowl out of cookie dough?" I'm the first to admit that there are almost no truly new culinary innovations or ideas, only variations on what's come before us, and I also know that making a cookie to serve ice cream on, such as an ice cream sandwich, is a common one (some great recipes will be in Ad Hoc At Home, now at the printers). But when James said it, I said, "Very cool idea, James. Let's give it a shot." And so we did. We posted a Twitpic and fellow Twitters were likewise enthusiastic."

"All of this is not to say that the man behind the WRX STI rally car renderings shown here has the answers, but we know one thing: When passing these images around Autoblog's (virtual) offices, we all couldn't help but say something to the effect of: "Oooooh, damn that's hot!" – a phrase we can't remember associating with Subaru, much as we love driving the vehicles themselves. In any case, these images come courtesy of one Lars Martensson (apparently better known on the interwebs by his handle 'GRID)', a man who spends his days crafting 3D renderings for videogames (Rallisport Challenge 2 for xBox, Battlefield 2 for PC). To us, this Swede has a handle on what the STI needs to be: Squat, mean, and purposeful. Okay, so perhaps the cut-down greenhouse wouldn't leave much room for taller folks (much less a helmet), but if one of these were parked in our driveway, well... we'd happily squat a little."

i can't speak for others, but i don't mind if guys are objectified. doesn't make me feel like any less of a "guy" or like my gender is being lampooned or seen in a superficial manner. doesn't affect me either way (though i can't stand male bashing). this underwear is just silly
- Cee Bee
<hijack> Wouldn't man bashing pretty much be objectification of a different sort? Instead of sexual objects, men become objects of derision? </hijack>

Cee Bee- the funny thing to me is that I look at this photo of a hot guy in fetish wear, essentialy, and the women are kind of tamely adding "hot" etc. (but nothing like what a straight-male thread would do if a hot girl was in a tiny bit of BSG wear or something) and the guys are all up in arms about it. But on a thread of a similar reversal kind of post, like Princess Leah in the...

Hello Kitty is like, what, 33? Hormone's a ragin'!
- anna sauce
they look uncomfortable... anything in a less ball constricting size? also, white underwear.. Bzzzzt, wrong choice! Also, chiming in with the objectification bit, I've had a specific arguement for a while now. Scenario: Guy in a bar, minding his own business and enjoying the company he is with when a woman comes over and gropes/pinches his arse. Why is the man subjected to ridicule if he objects to this sexual harassment that would lead to a man being arrested if the roles were reversed?
- alphaxion
Oh my god, Jesse how did you get pictures of me in my underwear! Actually I'd like to think I'm packing more budgies than that guy ;)
- Toby Graham
alphaxion wait, you're bringing up a hypothetical, then my hypothetical answer to your hypothetical, then disagreeing with it...
- anna sauce
But I'll take the bait. OK, so this fellow in this ad, I'm hoping he was consensually agreeing to being photographed. Beyond that, I see no objection to ogling. Regarding your hypothetical, if the guy got upset, I'd be kind of like "wow that woman was forward" but otherwise wouldn't really have a reaction.
- anna sauce
FYI I have a friend that would do the ass-pinching, and guys generally respond well to it. Diff. between guys seeing a guy being objectified, imho, then being the actual object of objectification.
- anna sauce
I'm better an an object than as a person so i prefer objectification.
- SteVe C
@anna I wasn't disagreeing with your comment, I actually agree with it. If the guy decided to be pictured in them undies then he fully knows he's gonna be objectified. Not a problem with that. My hypothetical was to show how objectification can be a little different at times with men. There is an assumption that males want that attention 24/7, and shouldn't have any problems with it....

my issue is with the "fashion"/design aspect of it. if someone objectifies or wishes to be placed in that position, that's their prerogative either way regardless of who's doing it to who
