It's a stunning reenactment of home life…with lolcats. I don't know that I like this invasion of my privacy.

I know most of you don't believe in God, but I want to share some information on him with you all.
God is never going to give you up, never gonna let you down, never going to run around a desert you. HE's never going to make you cry, never going to say goodbye, never going to tell a lie and hurt you.
Isn't HE wonderful!
May HIS piece be with you all!

Rick, wouldn't you rather be watching The Oscars(tm) ? We know you're operating at a loss here, but try and keep it together until you discover the real truth. Or the end of what is turning out to be the most boring Oscar show in history. Just like the bible: too little humor, no substance, and behind all the glitter just a bunch of hot air.

Awww, she's his kitten. :D I have a seven-year-old gibcat who went all foolish and sentimental when I brought home a black infant girl-kitten. She is four now, but he still wraps his front paws around her and licks the fur on the top of her head backwards. The little idiot really thinks that she's his pet kitten and I'm just the overly large cat who knows how to get the treats out of the jar.

Hmm, I thought it sounded like that song but the grammar was so poor in places. It distracted me.
"a desert you", piece. Terrible. Maybe you should have copy and pasted the lyrics rather than type them out.

The two cats appear to be exchanging secrets. It's not clear if they are discussing favourite mouse recipes or plans for world domination. Since one of them is a white cat, I vote for world domination.

God is never going to give you up, never gonna let you down, never going to run around a desert you. HE's never going to make you cry, never going to say goodbye, never going to tell a lie and hurt you.
And might I add that he sees you when you're sleeping and he knows when you're awake.

It's like a restaurant. Like in Berkeley they say "Meet me at Chez Panisse".
I hear they have good bacon over at Chez Myers. And freedom fries.

March 8, 2010 5:37 AM
'caus the name of the restaurant is "Chez Panisse".
When PZ opens up a restaurant and calls it "Chez Myers", that headline will make sense. btw, betcha they'll make better squid than freedom fries at Chez Myers when it opens.

"I don't know that I like this invasion of my privacy."
Is this like "Get Fuzzy", where the ferret next door uses hidden cameras to turn the life of Bucky Katt into a reality show?
"I'm just the overly large cat who knows how to get the treats out of the jar"
Actually, he regards you as the overly large adoptive cat mom who knows how to get the treats out of the jar. And if you have seen how cats treat their moms, you will not be surprised when they play "eat the toes" when you are trying to sleep.

"I should point out that this pic could be of two male or two female cats."
True, though I suspect that the big orange broad-nosed, broad-faced beastie is a male and the slimmer, trim-looking grey-white beastie is a female. Though the orange one could be a rather butch female and the white one a young or very small male.

Wow. Reading that title really brings out the grammar nazi in me.
Saying "at Chez Myers" is REDUNANT. "Chez" means "at the house of." Thus, you are saying "at at the house of Myers."

Utter cuteness! I just checked out the Cheezburger site today, saw this, and immediately thought of PZ and his TW. And, say, doesn't that orange cat seem to be smirking very much the same way that PZ is in his photo here?
