Wow, in six months using Firefox there has never been a link which instantly caused Firefox to crash as soon as I clicked on it, but the link in #1 broke that record.

So far I've clicked on it twice, and Firefox has crashed both times! Truly unique. There are far more links that cause Internet Explorer to crash.

2: Using Windoze? Have the latest Firefox and QT player plugin? I had no problems.

This works well for keeping popular stuff updated if you're on Windoze:

From the wiki:

In 2005, Mr. T announced he would never wear his chains again saying, "No, T, you can never wear your gold again. It's an insult to God." He came to this decision after seeing the effects of Hurricane Katrina. Mr. T also donated a great deal of clothing and money to Katrina victims. In October, 2006 [1] his new reality television show for TV Land, called I Pity the Fool [2] began, in which the devout Christian assists those in need.

Mr. T has a reality show? Why have I not seen this, I with television in my house and such?

Sort of semi-urban bungalow-ish is the neighborhood. Some busy streets nearby, but Holmes (the cat) has always avoided those.

Our neighbors know him. (They call him "Scooter", but they haven't seen him.) We've flyered, checked with SPCA, and he's microchipped, but really three days is a long time for this cat to be away.

Man, that's rough, Stanley. You'd think microchipping would solve these problems. Best of luck. Kitties can be amazing survivors!

Apparently SPCA doesn't check every cat for microchips, as they're much more common in dogs. But we reviewed all the black cats (yes, "black cat! black cat!") at their local HQ and nothing doing.

Though, if you do want a warm, fuzzy feeling, go visit your local animal shelter. Fucking. Adorable.

Per advice given via off-blog communication, I'm going searching. Thanks for the sympathy. It's really sad to lose him. He's a fucking cop-show, wizard-cocksucker of a cat.

Stanley: If it is any comfort, I heard an interview with someone who finds lost pets for a living (using trained dogs, no less), and she said that cats never go very far, and the people are always surprised when she find the cat in the bushes near the house, or something. (Dogs, however, she just never finds.)

I missed how the titty mess developed. Once the kids go to sleep, I'll check it out.

Ogged single-handedly reduced all women ever to be the object of male lust. When we meekly protested this minimization of our humanity, we were torn from limb to limb as by a pack of hungry dogs. I have only recently revived from a series of swoonings with the back of my hand pressed to my forehead.

14: Three possibly reassuring data points: we lost the wizard cocksucker (actually, this cat was full-scale sorcerer fellatio) cat I grew up with a couple of times in precisely the close-to-home way mentioned above. Once in a hole in the basement wall, and once up a tree that he couldn't get down, and both times it took a day or two to find him. So he may be close. Second, an old boyfriend of Dr. Oops' had a cat that used to go missing, and he turned out to be scamming neighbors -- he'd go act pitiful at someone else's back door, check out a new brand of cat food for a few days, and then come home. And finally, my MIT coop had a cat that disappeared the year before my freshman year, and reappeared unharmed two full years later (at which point the Cat Wars over whether the cat would be allowed to return, or whether the control freak who had moved into the house before the cat originally disappeared would be allowed to veto her return broke out. That got ugly.).

So, you never know that something bad has actually happened to a cat unless you see a body.

In a case of very slight coincidence, I spent this afternoon watching a movie about a cat with my daughter -- "Whisper of the Heart", whose sequel "The Cat Returns" we watched last month.

No, I'm serious. I think "Titties. Everyone likes titties. Titties are great." I also figure that any of the other bloggers can post pictures of cocks or abs or biceps or whatever they think is great (although I'm the only one who seems to post pictures of those things too). And I do try to avoid stuff that's demeaning (by my lights) or otherwise objectionable. But someone always objects.

Speaking for myself, there's so many little sexist interactions all the time that I observe, especially between my students, where I choose not to go off on a rant. It builds up. Then here at Unfogged, where there's a handy comment thread and an group willing to engage...it's easy to vent all that pent-up frustration.

I must be naive as well, because I was totally thinking "surely no one will have a problem with these pictures." I'm a little wiser now.

I must be naive, too. When I left for vacation, the titties thread had like 40 comments and none were about feminism or anything and I kind of smiled thinking "yay! for once, we're not going through the objectification again." and then I found a hotspot and refreshed my RSS and BAM! 400 comments.

(Disclaimers: I haven't read the thread yet. I was not offended by the titties photos. I want to learn how to type with my breasts like that one girl.)
