Cats are fascinating creatures. They retain so much of their wild hunting abilities and instincts while being fully domesticated. They are incredible athletes and remarkable gymnasts. I admire them as creations of God. BUT, they do make your house smell awful. The do make my wife, dad, and many others unable to breath in a matter of minutes. And they have that nasty habit of treating their owners like pets instead of the other way around. I would NEVER willingly own a cat.

All that said, they still entertain me.

If you haven’t heard of LOLCATZ (For the clueless, that’s pronounced “lole-cats.”), what rock have you been living under?

I love the lolcat site I CAN HAZ CHEEZBURGER. Not every post makes me laugh, but many do. They are purrrfect (aha…) bite-sized humor kibbles for when I’m working hard, but have to wait a couple of minutes for a build or a script to finish (like right now, for instance).

With my proclivity for naps, this one really got me giggling.

Join me today in raising a 7-layer burrito in memory of Gidget, the Taco Bell Chihuahua. Gidget died yesterday at the age of 105 (in dog years). I know there’s some controversy over the discovery that Gidget was a female. But I’m willing to look beyond the tabloid sex scandals and just remember the good times.

My favorite was the Godzilla movie cross-promo where Gidget sat next to a box trap baited with tacos. “Heeeere leezard leezard leezard!” What’s yours?
