My girlfriend adopted a 6 month old kitty named Gilbert without telling me beforehand. I came in late on Saturday night and was attacked by him. I nearly kicked the little bloke through a wall in shock. I hate cats. I don't like him but she loves him. Damn adult relationships and compromises.

Oh and she thinks she's allergic to him but she loves the little bastard already and refuses to even think of giving him up.

I'm just going to have to learn to deal with his presence and attempt to stop fantasizing about throwing him off the roof of the building. Not to his death, mind you, because I'm not that cruel. Just off the roof and I don't know, into Narnia or Oz. Anywhere but in the same condo as me! Yes, stop thinking that...

Oh and here he is.

So cute. Right? Yet I still want to dropkick him to the moon. Oh dear.

Haha, I Googled 'hating cats.' This random forum post I found fills me with vast amusement.


Holy ****.

I hate them with a passion so fierce I'm typing this entire post with my face.

I love my girlfriend. I hate her cat. Every day I lock eyes with this cat and telepathically warn it that one day I'll get it. I don't know how, or what I'll do, but I'll find a way. I just wish it was smart enough, because I'd keep a loaded gun in an unlocked nightstand, or an entire bottle of Drano with the lid off under the sink.

But cats are too stupid to kill by being irresponsible. They'll just ram their stupid faces into your leg until you pet them or find the courage to murder them.

Now granted, before you go calling animal control or the police, know that it's not in my nature to physically harm an animal. Which just infuriates me even more. If an animal has ever deserved a punch in the face it's this stupid ****ing cat.

It meows incessantly, sometimes for attention, other times because it wants to be pet or just to utilize the power of it's raspy, whining voice to make my blood boil. It also keeps us up at night. Sometimes it crawls - seriously - directly onto my girlfriends chest and meows an inch from her face.

My girlfriend does not do well when she doesn't get her sleep. As a gamer I can survive on caffeine and lonliness for 24 hours before I so much as sneeze. She gets queasy, cranky, and fatigued for the rest of the day. The cat is effectively hurting my girlfriend. And you know what happens when you hurt my girlfriend? You get the crap beaten out of you. Unless you're a cat. Because cats are invincible. I can't hurt them because I can't hurt an animal. I can't torture it psychologically because then it just becomes more annoying. It can't go and die because my girlfriend would be sad. I can't accidentally leave the door open because it's too stupid to run for freedom.

Also. It has diabetes.

The cat has ****ing diabetes.

It's an expensive animal. It takes insulin shots twice a day and has special food.

But you know what? It's cool. Because I can see why someone likes cats. You can take them to cat parks and enjoy their company on long hikes. They hang out with you on the couch and if you're not in the mood to pet them, you let them know. They pounce on you when you come home and beg for a walk. An intruder breaks into your house and they're like "Nah. You should leave. I can wake up the house or I can just bite you. Your call." They play with toys, poop outside, chew on bones with insurmountable glee, get sympathetic when you're sick, cuddle when you're cold, and all around just kick ***.

Wait. That's dogs. I'm talking about dogs.

Cats don't do ****. They suck.

Gilbert is gorgeous!


I think the manager of my local EB games store has a crush on me - it makes me sad to think of the discount I could be missing out on.....

[amphibian]

Just get a squirt gun and shoot the cat when it's being an asshole. It'll wise up.

Oh, and Worrywort, you heard the Biggie/Sinatra mash-up yet? Blue Eyes Meets Bed Stuy? Awesome...

[Centzon Totochtin]

, all the managers were called to a meeting to discuss the prof staff structure being released on Friday... they all came back looking shell shocked, a couple looked like they'd been crying and most of them are now behind closed doors in meetings with each other

I hate cats, it's a gene passed down through generations of my family, my grandpa once drop-kicked one out of a door.

My back is in agony, has been since yesterday evening and now the pain has woken me up again, I'm supposed to be going out this evening, I really hope I'll get enough rest to make it.

[Ain't_It_Just_]

So I had that doctor's appointment and he drained out a shitload of earwax, so awesome.

It feels no different. Still unable to hear out of the left.

What the FUCK

Yup, sounds like what I'd said earlier about it probably being your Eustachion tube (inner ear tube near the sinuses). He can't clear that out in conventional ways like earwax...there is a special gun that they can try, but you gotta ask for it and they gotta have it.

Like I said, it might take a few months before it goes back to normal...but you'll know when it does cause the back of your throat will taste like rancid earwax for a few seconds.


Here's a picture:



So when you get a buildup of crap it can get up in their VIA your sinuses and throat and since it's such a small tube it CAN get blocked and there's no EASY way to get it to unblock.

Chew lots of gum and yawn frequently, which may help.

Basically though, eventually it will ooze enough down that it will unblock and will likely then fall loose at the same time producing the yuck in your throat.

It only happened to me once, but it was unpleasant for a few months.

I apparently have some free items on Team Fortress 2 for preordering Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and since I bought it before when I got the Orange Box, it's now free to play AND I have some hard drive space, I thought I'd reinstall it and check it out.

It won't install.

Converting existing game installation. This may take several minutes.


Copying existing content into steam...

[EMPTY BAR]

For the last half hour off my Orange Box disc. The half hour before that was through Steam direct. GIVE ME MY GAME AND STOP SULLYING YOUR NAME ANY FURTHER


EDIT: WHOOPS FALSE ALARM I'd just missed a Steam update and now everything's gravy.

Nick Diaz. I'm not sure we've seen an athlete blow their biggest shot at stardom and financial security in such a dumb and all too public fashion.

What Vick did was of greater magnitude ($100+ million lost and the instant hatred of millions) and certainly he's served the time for his criminal offenses, but this is not quite the same level of self-involved dumbassery to my thinking.

Ughhh....a few months? But he checked and he didn't report any earwax....it may just be a viral infection.

Yeah, earwax forms on the other side of the eardrum, from the outside of the ear in, but it can't really go past the drum...the Eustachian tube gets blocked from inside so it wouldn't be detectable to him as immediately as ear wax.
