Son of Caturday Morning Open Thread

A lazy Saturday is a good time to reflect on events of the past week. One relatively uncovered development was Mrs. O’s hilariously despicable decision to mark Anthony Weiner’s resignation by erecting a “climbing wall” that bears a close and startling resemblance to The Fantastic 4’s The Thing’s, er, thing* right there on the White House lawn, and to have paid stooges add insult to injury all week by enacting an infamous scene from Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex (But Were Afraid To Ask) while yodeling “Every Sperm Is Sacred.” Hardball.

This would never be allowed to pass in the historically litigious town of Paisley, Scotland, where nominative determinism has also gone wild.

I would pay good money to spend a day as their telephone receptionist.

And finally, I noted that last week’s Caturday Open Thread excited some comments about our big-boned cat Gus’s girth (we have your names). To prove he does more than lie flat on his back all day, here he is channeling Maru while lying on his side in a very thin box.

Don’t you feel bad now? Huh? Never mind, you can make amends by hitting us with links and stuff.


* Don’t ask me how I know. Just don’t.

At least it was Mrs. Obama, and not some tramp, who was the source of White House’s mighty erection.

Re law firms with amusing names, I assume you are familiar with the distinguished firm of Dewey, Cheatham & Howe, yes?

And I can still see Gus’s love handles.

Gus is pleasantly plump, but by no means fat.

I yield to the honorable member from the District of Columbia.
