Merlin

Name one of the most comforting sounds you can think of.  I have a few, but a cat's purr is definitely high on the list.  There's just something snuggly about a little purry kitty, in a little ball in your lap, like there's nowhere else he or she would rather be than to chill with you.  Zoe's a big purring machine.  Bosco was when he was just a kitten, but as he aged, I thought he lost his ability to purr. Turns out it's there, it's just infrequent, and usually only comes out when Chris is the one scratchin' him.  On the way home from work, the DJ on the radio played a sound, followed by a commercial break and his promise of letting the audience know what the sound was.  I thought it resembled a cat, but wasn't 100% sure.  Turns out yes, it was a cat.  Not a lion. Not a tiger.  Not a cheetah.  But a housecat.  Merlin, to be exact.  Apparently most domestic house cats purr at a decibel of about 25.  Merlin caps out at a whopping 100 decibels.  His owner is attempting to get him into the Guiness Book of World Records.  Every time I hear him peak out at 100dB, I giggle:

And, truth be told, as cute as a short video is, I'm sorta glad my Zoe is probably more in the "normal" dB range.  Happy Monday!

Happy Easter

P.S.A.*

WHY do people figure they can get everything they want for free?  WHY do amateurs undercut the professionals? I love what this guy has to say, and I wholeheartedly agree!  Don't you?

Friday Funny

Yeah, yeah, I'm super slacking in the blogging. I am sorry.  I really am. I will aim to do better next week.  I swear.  Been busy - super busy at work, and that's led to a SUPER sore wrist, necessitating even wearing a wrist brace again.  Sooo...less time on the interwebs in my "free" time.  I've been thinking about ya'll, and wanted to say hey, Happy Friday... Here's a funny:

 

The look on that dog's face is freaking PRICELESS!

Saturday funny

Epic fail.

I can't stop hitting replay.  You should too.  Now.  Don't put it off.  Eventually Youtube will likely pull it off for "nudity".  It's funnier each time.  Trust me on this.


Epic truly does describe this type of failure, doesn't it?

Update: well the original user removed it - but it had already been re-posted by several others, so I've updated this post to include it, again, for your viewing pleasure.  You're welcome! :)
