When I was a young idiot I had no chance to hide behind anonymity - embarrassment was public and face-to-face...
Now, that I'm an old idiot I behave myself (probably because of the experience)...

Me too. Once you know you're an idiot then life tends to become less embarrassing. And even better now all thos Soapbox posts have been deleted.

I'm offended by the lack of racial minorities in that video!
There's only one black man and he's a big pastor.
This video is clearly racist.

You are not allowed to use the term "racist" in the Lounge. Move that kind of talk to the Soapbox. This place is only for Elephants that eat bacon, and tell really, really bad jokes.

Perhaps we need two new forums:
- "The pig sty" - for all matters relating to bacon
- "Dad's army" - for all the dad jokes

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

That depends on whether, like cats, you are (a) covered with fur, and (b) groom yourself by licking every point reachable.
From my observations of people, both conditions are extremely unlikely.

No, people don't do that for grooming, but for other purposes that may not be KSS. Let's not go there.
The real obstacle seems to be that we don't have a hair brush built into our tongues and no reflex to swallow whatever gets caught in that brush.

That's not an "obstacle". IOW, it's a feature, not a bug.

You are obviously not a cat. They can do that all day when they are not sleeping and it's quite serious when they don't do that.

I always claim that cat hair completes the outfit...

Our house (2500 square feet) is almost entirely hardwood floors. The only carpet is on the staircase.
Between one elderly female long-haired cat who yaks up her weight in hairballs every week and two greyhounds that "blow coat" in a continuous cloud, vacuuming our floors requires emptying the canister on the vacuum cleaner 8 or 10 times during the job, which takes a couple of hours.

I've used three of my articles (so far) in a WPF project today, and the app is coming along quickly. It's an entity factory that allows the dev to select a stored proc and generate a model (with attribute decorated properties if desired), and optionally, a view model from the returned dataset. It's kind of a mix between the ADO.Net component, and an SSIS package import package, and results in code that can be copy/pasted into a project file, in fully functional form.
It felt so good writing a desktop app that I think I'm gonna need a cigarette...
