Reminds me of an incident from my misspent/well spent youth (you decide).
I was invited to a formal dinner by a lady who laid claim to a French title, principally on the grounds that I was shag.. er... walking out with her daughter. The entrée was horse meat. As a keen rider, riding to hounds on occasion, I declined to eat it. Englishmen do not eat horses.
The accusatory eye of the contessa fell upon me, and she asked if there was anything wrong with the meat. I replied "Madame, there is only one of God's creatures that I both ride and eat, and I can assure you it is not the horse".
At first, there was a stunned silence around the table, then some titters, and then guffaws from the assembled gentlemen. The ladies present looked at me with renewed interest.

Does your company hire "pushy" people simply because their building's doors are not automatic?

FAIL!

Wait... Does that also mean it has to hire "pully" people to open the doors from the other side?

I was going to fill the space directly under my roof with Gaviidae[^] , but I couldn't think what to call it.

Are astronomer's clothes eaten by Saturniidae?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The Seatbelts - Call Me Call Me (Performed by Steve Conte)[^]
After a week of absence it's time for a new SOTW!
I'm still listening to the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack, though this is no bebop jazz.
Beautiful song sung by Steve Conte.
Don't we all want someone to call us to tell us it's going to be alright? (No, I'm not leaving my number)
So anyway, I've been listening to this song for weeks and I can't get it out of my head.
Basically SOTPTW (Sound of the Past Two Weeks).

Nice! Somehow reminds me of the Eurovision though (probably because they mix folk with catchy tunes)

If only they knew the lyrics go like:
"Mariko, did you go to the cheese shop, because your face is as white as feta cheese ...."
here the original

I must say the original, while catchy, is missing the beats I like about the new version
*goes off humming about feta cheese...*

Reminds me a bit of ... The Beatles , or should I check my ears ?

Maybe you should check out The Beatles instead of your ears, they may not sound like you think they do

Wow! That takes me back!
I used to listen to Zardonic back in high school.
That was back in 2005, but I hear he's still kicking ass
I used to listen to him and Bong-Ra[^] quite a lot during the same period. Bong-Ra is faster and more chaotic though (and this is just a random video I've never heard before, but seems to sound like the Bong-Ra I know)

Please go through the following checklist:
1) cat container, best one of the top loading type, not front loading
2) chainmail covering at least the chest and the arms
3) a closed or visored helmet, chainmail coif optional
4) plate gauntlets
5) cat tranquilizer
6) antidote, just in case you accidentally get the tranquilizer yourself
7) alternative wooden cat tranquilizer
8) first aid kit (for you, not the cat)

1) Nope, front loader[^] - they are easier to get the cat into as it's hard for them to get all legs on the box. This is huge: 50x36x45cm, so the animal has plenty of room to stand, turn round, play cards, run a very short marathon ... I don't trust the plastic ones as one cat managed to break out of one. The cardboard ones are useless given a cat can eat a whole box in moments...
2, 3, 4) Nope, use charm and misdirection instead! It's also a good idea to put a blanket / jumper that smells of you (or something familiar) in the box as it helps the cat feel more relaxed.
5) Don't like those. Especially on an ill cat, which is normally why it's going in the carrier in the first place.
6) See 5.
7) Have you met my wife?
8) I have two in the house, one in the car - and I only ever gt to use them on visitors and neighbours.
