There is nothing as baffled looking

As a cat who can't quite figure out his small paper crumple got stuck inside inside a larger paper crumple while he was batting the little one around. He even moved the big one to check under it....

There is No Cabal

Really doesn't need a post where the POD is that instead of Peter Parker being bitten by a radioactive spider, Marie Curie is.

So, Nameless' berserk button

Turns out to be a small steam cleaner. Normally when pushed Nameless hisses and runs off. If she sees this gadget, she hunkers down and growls amazingly deeply for such a tiny cat.

Speaking as one of the few people to have been seriously injured playing croquet

Ford has my sympathy in this specific matter.



Still, kind of a metaphor for his one term as Mayor....

I had this bookmarked but I don't recall listening to it before

From the 1990s, presumably before he became a registered Republican and Ron Paul supporter:

If the world was perfect and everybody had money and everybody drove a BMW … nobody was homeless, nobody ever got sick, everything was wonderful, everybody was smart and everything – happy all the time – you’d have to go an awful long way out of your way to make a difference in this world. You’d have to do a whole hell of a lot to try and improve the way it was.
But in a world that sucks – like this one – you don’t have to do very much at all! There was never a time in the history of the world where you could do so little and get so much done. You could do more with a little smile – just hold somebody, say hello to somebody, or just feel good by yourself, even when you don’t feel like feeling good."

(Was I the only one not to know what became of Alice and Ray Brock's deconsecrated church, the one that figured into Alice's Restaurant?)

"Saving The Incandescent Bulb" sounds harmless enough

And yet, hilarity ensues.

Nightfall: The Room

The Room

A daring young man is tempted enough by the prospect of a quick thousands pounds to spend a night in a room that has a track record of driving those who spend a night in it quite mad. In this case, it turns out the adventurer is really kind of fragile so he was probably a poor choice.

The final scene seems to violate the rules we've been given about how the phenomenon works.
