Magazine sales scam

[mermaidcafe.livejournal.com]

If some guys came to your place selling magazines within the past few days, even if you didn't buy any, call the non-emergency police # or 311 and give the police your info. They came to my place in Winter Hill on Monday (thankfully, I didn't buy anything or let them in) and I don't know where else they went, but the cops apparently kicked them out of the city today. The PD still wants a record of who they talked to, though. These guys had no license to be selling; also, when I looked up the name of the suscription company associated with them, there was no trace of that company.

(In other words, don't hold your breath on your year's worth of Cosmo--you'll just have to find his special LMNOP spot some other way.)

No, nor sit through long services where they play the organ.

Rumor has it that obsure tomes (http://flickr.com/photos/blacktabi/sets/72157606322036692/) mentioned in whispers amongst members of certain cults (http://flickr.com/photos/blacktabi/sets/72157604280939365/) contain wood-cuttings that purport (http://images.zevils.com/v/Thanksgiving_2006/IMG_6560.JPG.html) to show not these creatures as not mere heads, but heads with bodies -- foul, non-euclidean things. Yes, the dreaded beasts of legend, the Cats of Cthulhu!

Dude, your cat eats off the FLOOR. I don't know what kind of zoo you've got there, kid.

I do agree about the "Candlelight" mode on Tabi. I will have to try out "Fireworks" setting on Dart to bring out his dangerous, yet dazzling, internal beauty.

Yeah, orange guy will even scoop a kibble (or is it a bit?) out of his bowl so that he can eat it off the floor. Weirdo.

I'm glad to see that he's safely ensconced in bubble wrap. That should provide effective protection against dangerous inner beauty.

Yes, but cat-dropping games lose some of their excitement.

One night my wise, head-AND-body-type cat discovered bubble wrap. He did this with no help from me! (You might have to look closely.)

Oh, I'm getting married in a couple of weeks, so we've been getting tons of boxes from the places we registered.

The cats have been extremely pleased. Claws is a real box-hound.

Maybe Claws registered for boxes?

He even pimped his box. There was a rectangular one that was perfectly him-sized, and he chewed (biting off and spitting out hunks of card-board) a cut-out in the side so that he could stick his arm out.
