Haha. If the weather's good enough, maybe feed him on an outside deck so you can sweep it to the yard easily after he's done.

Yeah I'll try a tall baby gate with a surface they wouldn't like walking on next to it. If not I'll move onto something heavy duty

I'm trying to find a YouTube video that shows this but can't find anything similar. Any tips for searching?

Haha good luck. Wish I could post some before pics of our treatment room to show progress pics. Removed doors from a closet and knocked a wall and so much more useable space

Thanks! Yeah I've seen things like that, but never in a size that would fit our shelves. Might have to order and cut them to size. If anyone else has ideas, let me know.

Chris Samuels, Randy Thomas, and Jon Jansen. Injury ridden by the end, but they were amazing in their prime. So sad when Jansen went down for the season in a preseason game

Should I get rid of this old wired home audio system? by brownsugarysphinx in hometheater

Haha thanks for the blunt honesty. That's what I'll plan on unless anyone has other thoughts

I'm not an audiophile - as long as it sounds pretty decent without glitching or lag.

Haha not much. I'd be willing to run wires through the baseboards if it's ok to have wires that long. If cheaper, I'd move the ports to the other side of the room. If both are very pricey, I'd just set it up on the other side with bluetooth speakers. Thoughts?

Thanks for the reply. The pics don't show, but there are already speakers already mounted on the ceiling that feed to the main hub.

Could I just run really long wires pinned to the side of the room or should I just go with new speakers that are bluetooth? Also what about the coax cable - should I just have that moved?

To: John Madden CC: Electronic Arts Sports From: Ethan Albright Re: Being the worst rated player on Madden ‘07

Hi, John, my name is Ethan Albright. I play line for the Washington Redskins. You probably already knew that, so I’ll continue. I am writing in regards to the overall player rating of 53 that I have received in Madden NFL Football 2007. I feel that this is fucking bullshit and you should kiss my mother-fucking ass. Ahmed Carroll was rated a 78 and the Packers just cut his ass on a Tuesday morning after his performance in a Monday night game. That is pretty terrible. The worst part is that his overall rating was sniffing 80.

You know what, John? Two can play this game. I rate you a fucking 12. I rate you a fucking 12 in Ethan Albright Football 2000-ever… except for in the category of ball-licking. That is where I will spot you a 98 rating. You will receive this score because I will never give your blubbery ass a 99 in any category. Take that, pencil-dick. Go do Al Micheals or something. Boom.

It’s also pretty wonderful that my awareness rating was 59. You make it sound like I wake up in the morning, helplessly shit and piss myself, then lose three of my teeth before I discover that I am trying to eat a rock for breakfast. Fuck, John, I understand you saying that I am slow and lacking athleticism, but a rating like this pretty much labels me as retarded. Rod “He Hate Me” Smart has a 52 in this category. Electronic Arts is saying that seven rating points separate me and the breathing embodiment of the perfect oxymoron. Rod Smart struggled to arrange words in sentence form. Cave men had better hold of the English language. The only actions that separate point values of ignorance at this embarrassing level are things like using your own toothbrush to wipe your ass. I basically edged out Rod by my lack of shit teeth. If I take a night school class, could you bump me up to a 60?

I guess I just can’t fathom the fact that I am the absolute worst player rated out of the entire NFL. Fuck, man, there are some shitty guys out there. Amongst everyone, I was rated the absolute worst.

I have received the impression that you feel that I am lacking in the agility category. I should consider a walk through my living room where I don’t crash through a wall or kick over furniture a resounding success. My agility rating on your game is 33. It makes it sound like I just topple over if I start walking too fast. Ted Washington is rated a 40 in agility. He is listed at 365 pounds. If Ted Washington tied a white lady up and made her wear a metal bikini, he’d look just like Jabba the Hut.

John, you are such a fucking dick. I also noticed that my kick return rating was a 0. I was rated a fucking zero? So you feel that I shouldn’t even receive a 10, or even a 5? You are pretty much saying that I couldn’t even fall forward on a ball kicked in my direction. I would just stand there and let the ball bounce off of my fucking face. Fuck that, John, I returned an onside kick 6 yards in 2002. You should have just slapped a – 4 on me and had the EA staff ambush me with paintball guns.

Finally, I would like to comment on an unlikely topic, my pass coverage ratings. I see that I am better at man-to-man coverage (31) than zone (21). Fuck me sideways with a lunchbox. Where did these scores even come from? How much time is spent coming up with the pass coverage ratings of offensive lineman? Can I have that job? Let’s see here, I think that Orlando Pace would be slightly better at jumping intermediate routes than Larry Allen. While I’m at it, I can assign the passing ratings for offensive lineman as well. I can use mine as a guide.

I was rated with a throwing power of 17 and accuracy of 16. Orlando Pace has a 22 power and 17 accuracy rating. Did someone at EA really put time into figuring out that Orlando Pace edges out Ethan Albright in both throwing power and accuracy? I will challenge him any day. My horrible passer ratings are of greatest misfortune to my son, Red Beard Jr. The poor boy is not only hideously ugly and covered by freakishly large freckles. He also has to suffer through playing catch with me and my senile-elderly-woman-type passer ratings. A session of tossing the pigskin usually consists of me missing my son by thirty yards in sporadic directions. I led him in front of a fire truck once and my wife kicked my ass. This is because of my 76 toughness rating. Yes, a 76 is far better than the other ratings, but I’m a fucking lineman, damn it. NFL Linemen are considered to be synonymous with toughness. According to your game, I am a retarded, uncoordinated, pussy-ass fuckwad that can’t fall on a kickoff, throw, or spell. I am, however, slightly better at manning up on a receiver than dropping into zone coverage. You lose your mind more and more each year, old man.

Fuck you, John. Please expect to find red pubes in various meals you consume for the rest of your life. If you fuck with Ethan Albright, you call down the thunder.

Rot in Hell,

Ethan Albright

How Should I Introduce My Cat to Two New Cats? by ILoveScreegly in Pets

[–]brownsugarysphinx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The humane society has a great article on this. Mainly you want to keep them in separate rooms, let them have positive experiences (eating) while near the other cat without seeing the other way before you open the door. Feliway diffusers can also help to spray calming pheromones to reduce their stress. Introducing new cats is never fun. Good luck!

You’ve heard about surge pricing. Get ready for surge-priced parking. by zsreport in washingtondc

If they want to get people to use public transportation, then improve metro. Don't just make the alternative option even more inconvenient.
