Taking My Cat to The Vet

Today is cat to the vet day. We have a cat that has a bladder issue, where magic crystals form when her diet consists of too much magnesium, so a special prescription diet is needed to prevent crystal formation. The last time we visited the vet's office our cat who is normally very timid, attacked the vet. The vet came back from the lab with hair all dishevled and clinging to the cat who had attached claws to the vet's chest. Thinking back on this it was really kind of funny. I wonder if we are going to be in for something funny today. Stay tuned.

Steeler Nation - BBQ Ceremony

Image via WikipediaThose of us who are part of the Steeler Nation have gameday rituals that range from multiday drink-athons to searing meat festivals. Today as I await the AFC divisional game between dem Stillers and the Bolts of Sandy I eagerly pace deciding when to unveil the grill. The debate is, do we prepare by bbqing prior to the game so that while it's on we watch, or do we try to cook after the game to enjoy the thrill of victory. Maybe both. I am going with fire = good, and engaging in fire activites is good luck for the Stillers. Although, dare I say indoor grilling anyone? With the proper ventilation a grill could be used indoors, but it still is not without risk. Maybe some hybrid electric grill or stove top smoker would do the trick. Still where is the fire?

Burger King Flame - Mystery to Employees

Upon hearing that Burger King would be releasing a fragrance that smelled of meat I immediately knew I needed to buy it. The entertainment value alone would be worth the few dollars. Not to mention the potential mischief that could be had spraying coworkers, or your spouses pillow, or taunting neighborhood dogs. I mean this spray could be magic.

Today, I finally stopped at my nearest Burger King to buy the spray. Being lazy and still half asleep I decided to use the drive through window. The resulting conversation went something like this:

"Hello, welcome to Burger King would you like to upgrade, buy more than you can eat, become obese, etc..."
"Hi, I would like a bottle of meat spray."
"Awwww, sorry what was that?"
"I would like to buy your meat flavored fragrance."
"Sorry sir I have absolutely no idea what you are asking."
"The spray that smells like whoppers. I saw on TV that you were selling a body spray that was meat scented."
"Yes we have whoppers"
"No, I do not want a whopper, I want the whopper meat spray."
[SILENCE]
(my wife "This is freaking hilarious")
"Ok, sorry I guess I was misinformed, sorry to waste your time"
[MORE SILENCE]

We drove off wondering what the hell just happened. Could this all be a holiday marketing scheme intended to drive jackasses like myself to Burger King, possibly. Could this spray that had gained so much media traction, not have trickled down to the average employee; also a possibility. Could this jackass behind the audio communication still be hungover or was this employee not engaged enough to read any press release or listen to any manager briefing? I guess these are all possibilities. The end result is that I have no meat spray. I refuse to scour the web for it or pay 7xs the retail value. Piss off with your meat spray Burger King, and as for that King... "I will get you some day, bastard."

Gnome Statue of Worship in Laveen, AZ (near phoenix)

Occasionally, they let me out of the crate, and I venture out into the world. Over the weekend I spent some time traveling in Phoenix, AZ. On my travels, I came across a worship site centered around a tiny gnome. The Gnome Statue of Worship, actually located in Laveen, AZ was a very interesting find. I was only there for several minutes, but a few dog walkers and lost yard sale scavengers passed by and confirmed that this was a gnome statue. I will let the worship claims up to you.
