What's the kitten's name, already?

[Brian Cruz]

Harley decided to adopt the kitten, and it's been living with her this past week. Therefore, I pass the burden of naming the cat onto her! :D

From the lastest news I've heard, the election results were too close to call. There are still some voters in Miami Dade that are questioning the outcome of the poll on the kitty's name, saying they were confused by Brian's poll and accidently voted for the wrong name. It should be two months, at least, before they get this all sorted out and finalized. I believe Harley is taking this before the Supreme Court as we post about it.

In other news, I found two lost beagles this past weekend, and took them into my apartment until I could find where they lived. I found their home Monday, but they were sure cute dogs! I kinda whished I had adopted them. I would have named the male dog Chewbacca, because he liked to chew thru his leash (which is how he got away, apparently), but I hadn't yet decided what I would have named the girl dog. But their real names were Jenny and Jay Jay, and they are home now.

[Danielle]

Uh-oh. We're not gonna start a thread about what the name of the girl dog should've been, are we? Good.

BTW, how many avatars have you put up already?

[Calhoun07]

Nah, I don't need a name for a dog.

How many avatars have I had....well, Captain Calhoun was my first, then I remember Nitz from the Undergrads was next, then I remember a Jesus and Squirrle one (don't ask!) and I remember one of me from my CD cover as Thelonious Octopus (see my "website" link), and then there was my drawing of Jim Morrison, the dead Laura Palmer one, and now the Kalhoun avatar from Daniel Amos. I am sure I am forgetting a couple, but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head!

Do you mean Captain Avatar from Star Blazers, which I thought was spelled Abitar?

[DR. BELCH]

That one was my favorite! I could just picture the little bugger spouting off in an Eric Cartman voice, "Hey! God hates [expletive deleted]s! Wear clothes of two kinds of fiber and you'll go to hell! Don't put a bull on God's altar with a busted set of cojones, or the Lord will smite you, you dumb [expletive deleted]!" I guess someone complained and Cal was forced to retire Leviticus Squirrel pretty fast. Pity. He would've made a great TV Funhouse character.

As for dogs, if I listed all mine it'd look like the book of Matthew, what with all the names and "begat"s and generations. But the last female was Bernadette, daughter of Blossom, who was begat by Brewski the neighbor's dog....

[Danielle]

Same with the # of cats I've had. I'm not going into that. ;)

So.......................did you asassinate Mr. Castro yet?

Captain Avatar was before Jesus and the Leviticus Squirrel, if I have my memory in check. Captain Calhoun is the one from Peter David's books, New Frontier. I used one of his head shots from a cover of a Peter David novel as my first avatar.

Yeah, I got in a spot of trouble over that avatar. The thing it was picking on wasn't a person's lifestyle of any sort, but the often ludicrous laws in Leviticus. I guess you would have had to see the source material to really get the joke, but the basic concept was, God gave us ten commandments then suddenly has like 225 more He wants to tack on. And most of them are quite...unusual.

I grew up with dogs. At one point, we had fifteen dogs. I'd get me a beagle if I could, but in my small apartment, they wouldn't be too happy. If I only could get me a house with a nice fenced in yard...

[Nftnat]

And a lot of those rules were for protection. It took us millenia to figure out on our own that sanitary disposal of waste contributed to good health & pork was bad for us. And can you imagine the Hebrews' reaction to a lecture on keeping clean for health reasons? "Germs? What are those?"

[Danielle]

Which is actually why the Hebrews were blamed for the Black Death. Most of them didn't catch the plague because they kept clean, so everyone else thought they had started or spread it. The people back then weren't very sanitary. :<O (that's a clothespin)

[Calhoun07]

This is true. And I am quite confident if people followed the laws of food in Leviticus that we wouldn't have the problems we have now with mad cow disease and hoof and mouth disease.

[Danielle]

And today's moral is: Read the Bible! It's not only good for you, but it gives you something to do while waiting in line at the DMV!

how would Leviticus prevent the spread of disease?

Admit it - you're a Californian!

Really? I just recognized you because it said CA in your location. :D

Nah, I've only lived in California for 5 years. In fact, I'll be moving to Rhode Island on the 20th, so I won't be a 'true' Californian.

Poor child...

why am I reminded of a quote allegedly found in a young girl's diary at Bodie (PLUG: FANTASTIC old ghost town in CA just inside NV line off 395, north of Lake Mono) reading:

'Good-bye God, I'm going to Bodie'

it was a notoriously lawless boom town (gold)

and, yes, I have been to RI, so I do get to talk...

[Danielle]

It's not *that* bad. But then again, I've only lived in those states everyone thinks about when America is mentioned (New York, Florida, California). Living in the smallest state in the Union is a pretty big change. The good thing is, I'll be living in Pawtucket, which is right on top of Providence, so I'll at least be living by the capitol.

Uh....is that good?

Uhhhh...

When one lives on a postage stamp, the EXACT location doesn't matter all that much...;)

[Danielle]

Oh yeah, like *that* makes me feel better!

[Nftnat]

You realize that all of Rhode Island could fit into San Bernardino County, 16 times over. But I'd be willing to give it a try. Bigger isn't always better, you know.

Man, you realize now I am going to have to READ the chapters about animals again, don't you? I don't know of any specific quote off hand, but I am willing to bet that if it says you can't wear blended fabrics, there HAS to be something in there about feeding cows and chickens the ground up remains of their own species. And that's how those diseases really got into being, from my understanding. I'd try to look it up now, if there is any specific quote (I said I was quite confident, but I didn't have a specific verse in mind. I just know it gets into deep detail about clean and unclean animals and eating rules up the ying yang.) So I will research it. I just didn't want you to think I ignored the challenge!

[Calhoun07]

Oh, yeah, I forgot I am supposed to be doing my homework and looking up verses in Leviticus!

In the meantime, I hate to change my avatar after only four days, but when you find one that works so well...how could I resist? I had to get back to my Twin Peaks themed avatars. I just love that show to death. If I had it on DVD, I'd be watching it now.

Homework in Aug.?

a. I don't think chickens are involved in either disease

b. If you establish a link between bone meal in feed and either disease:
you could argue (but not win) that, by feeding bone meal to
cattle, man has made them scavengers (carrion eaters), which, as I remember, was a no-no.

c. try again on the avatar - I think images of the dead are probably banned by Leviticus, as well as in bad taste

[Danielle]

I *really* hope that isn't you in the avatar, calhoun.

If it is....brush your teeth, young man!

If it's not.....then just.......yeah.

[Calhoun07]

It's from Twin Peaks, perhaps the greatest series EVER.

[Danielle]

It'd be even greater if they learn some personal hygiene.

[Calhoun07]

Yeah, well, when you're trying to look like the living dead, brushing with advanced whitening toothpaste is the last thing on your mind, sorry.
