VIP Fibers: “the first & original company to specialize in hand spinning YOUR pet’s fur into Fur-Ever™️ Yarn.”
Oh. My. God. (Link found in a hilariously titled Ravelry post: “Pet Yarn, creepy or not?” I’m going to have to vote CREEPY there.)

Thank goodness for Kevin.
I was a little worried about Obama’s losses in Ohio and Texas, but Kevin’s spelled it all out for me: Hilary’s still done. Stick a fork in her. I especially liked the football metaphor.
Obama is up 34-7 in the fourth quarter. Clinton just scored a touchdown. The score is now 34-14, but now there’s only 2 minutes left and Obama has the ball. For all intent and purposes, he can just take a knee and run out the clock. (Not that I suggest he do so. Since the other team is playing dirty, we might as well run up the score.)
On a related note, I got some emails today from the Democrats Abroad confirming that I’m now a full member. (I signed up when I voted in the primary.)

Arson!
Oooooooh! The cops say that the Nando’s explosion a few weeks ago was DELIBERATE. I’m not sure I buy the story about the brother-in-law. If this were a TV movie, he’d have been the one there setting the fire to collect the insurance money…

WWCGD?
What would Cary Grant do? Sage advice.

Fujoshi!
Dude. I would totally go to the Japanese girly schoolboy cafe! (Has anyone else been surfing Google all day, trying to track down an English translation of the original manga? No? Just me then? Okay.)

Hats
The Snook was all excited to jump on the hat bandwagon… until he saw this photo. Good grief.

Vote for Niko
Got thirty seconds to do a good deed? My mom’s friend Jane has an autistic son and three adopted special needs kids, and a great charity called 4 Paws for Ability was able to provide them with a companion dog called Niko. Jane’s entered a photo of Niko in an online contest with a grand prize of $10K to be donated to a pet charity. Jane wants to win so she can give back to 4 Paws for Ability. Isn’t that awesome? If you’d like to vote for Niko, just go over here. (Yeah, it asks for an email address, but just use a throwaway one like I did.) Thanks!

For those of you who wanted to see it, The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters is finally opening at the Dendy theatres tomorrow…

iPhone
“Local laws could scuttle iPhone deals.” Nooooooo! But– wait. That article is stupid. I seem to recall that France had the exact same law about tying a mobile to a carrier, so Apple released an unlocked iPhone. So they’ve done it before! There’s a precedent. I refuse to give up hope. (That was the #1 Google result for “iPhone France”, by the way. You’d think these fancy pants QUT researchers could’ve turned up that little gem. Shoddy journalism.)
