Can a cat play patty-cake? Pawsibly! Can anything be smarter than a cat that can count? Yes, a spelling bee! Did you hear about the cat who drank 5 bowls of water? He set a new lap record. Did you hear about the cat who swallowed a ball of wool? She had mittens. How did a cat take first prize at the bird show? He just jumped up to the cage, reached in, and took it. How do cats eat spaghetti? The same as everyone else - they put it in their mouths! How do cats end a fight? They hiss and make up. How do you know if your cat has eaten a duckling? She's got that down in the mouth look! How do you know that cats are sensitive creatures? They never cry over spilt milk! How do y…

Has anybody seen the double-page ad in Rolling Stone that is an article on the history of vinyl? Does anybody have any idea what it means? It's a pretty decent article. It has jump lines at the beginning and end to make it look like it continues later in the magazine, but it doesn't. There's a little ad-within-the-ad for some TV show, which has nothing, AFAIK, to do with vinyl, or even music at all. Very odd

I am considering getting rid of all cable/sattelite TV service (currently DirecTV) and going with the combination of Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus, and online sports subscriptions. I have neighbors doing this and they've liked it, while saving a ton of money. For what I pay for DTV, and how little we watch TV, it's hardly worth it. As it is, we currently watch mostly Netflix and Amazon anyway. For sports, I'm watching mostly on iPad, because my kids are on the TV, and I've found this to be fine, sometimes preferable, since I don't have to scroll through 600+ channels to find the game I want. Plus I can watch it on my lap while I passively watch whatever the …

Happy Birthday, Ed! (party favour noise)

Happy Birthday

I wish you a great, wonderful, happy day. I'll toast to yours later with a sip of that excellent whiskey you know Que cumplas muchos más

So a friend of mine is trying to track down a painter. I tried doing an image search, but all I'm getting is a bunch of "oil painting with glare" type images, for obvious reasons. Anyone know how to get rid of the glare? Or perhaps they just know who the painter is.

I was wondering if someone could help me translate (well, and read I suppose it's handwritten) about 75 words of French. If so, please PM. Thanks!

This was posted on another forum, but thought all of you might enjoy it. Actually gives one hope for things... http://www.viddler.com/embed/70d1d214/?f=1&offset=0&autoplay=0&secret=48017121&disablebranding=0

Steve, Happy Birthday hope you have fun plans and have a great day!

Happy Birthday, Dan! Hope you have a spectacular day!

Hope it's a good 'un!

http://xfinity.comcast.net/blogs/tv/2013/02/15/underdog-cartoon-co-creator-dies-at-85/ I always liked Underdog, his superpowers were enhanced by taking a pill hidden in his ring..... Something so wrong but funny in that!

Hope you have a great Birthday filled with bikes, beer, gun ranges etc!

Happy Birthday Stephen!

Can't wait to hear what John Stewart and Colbert have to say about this tonight! It's almost like something the Onion would write but once again, truth is stranger than fiction.

A bit late in the eve, but just saw today is Mr.-Neko-Audio's birthday! Happy Birthday Wes! Wishing a great day and year. Think I'll celebrate by listening to something through your DAC

Debbie and I are in the process of looking for a Siamese cat or kitten. I figured I'd throw it out the HC crew to see if anyone has a connection or suggestions. In my previous relationship I owned cats for over twenty years so I am familiar. I've always wanted a Siamese, so now seems the time. Let us know.

I was going to start this thread a few times, and think of doing so every time I find something I use daily or near daily, and it makes me very very happy each time, like my JH13s and ipod, or Tabasco Sauce. Can be a little nothing, like Tabasco Sauce or something big that you don't regret spending the money on, even if it made you wince to do so at first. Anyway, I've lately come across some things that may even have been around for awhile, but I can't believe how happy they make me every time I use them. Here are a few of my new favorite things: Moisture wicking clothing! Why didn't anyone tell me about this stuff before? I'd been working out in any old cott…

Happy Birthday Mike! Hope you have a great day and some FFF goodness too!

Oops, the big day slipped our notice, but hope you had a great time Adrian! Cheers!

One of the all time great baseball managers, and a man who wasn't afraid to speak his mind. He died today, at age 82.

$299? No thanks...

Happy birthday to the Earl of Bacon Sandwich! Have a great bacon- and Diet Coke-filled day Grahame! Cheers!
