“Captain Jack Sparrow is made of antimatter,” and other observations.
Yesterday my clone-sibling and I were discussing one of his co-workers, someone who is supposedly a sci-fi fan and yet had literally never heard of antimatter before. (So of course Paul had to tell him about the antimatter in bananas…) … Continue reading
And now… a photo of the “Trust me” t-shirt
I’m not saying this is my single most-favorite (One True Favorite Quote, of which all others… 🙂 ) quote from anything by Roger Zelazny, but it is the only one that’s on a t-shirt. I bought this shirt for my … Continue reading
Cat Songs and Other Weirdness
A short explanation: Sometimes I make up “cattified” lyrics to ordinary songs. For example, “Every Time I Look at You, I Meow” (cat version by Fluffy and the Housecat, of course): Maybe it’s because/I am just a ball of fuzz/With … Continue reading
