More Stupid Cat So there's this cat food commercial. Maybe you've seen it. A cat wanders into an empty kitchen and ambles toward a can of Friskies cat food. The lid suddenly pops off, sending magic glowing swirls all over the room. The cat watches them, mesmerized, because she's clearly stoned out of her mind. Then a mysterious portal opens up. The cat leaps through the portal, and finds herself in a brightly colored fantasy land. And even though it's only a 60-second commercial, this stoned cat manages to have a complete adventure, by land and by sea. Her journey eventually comes full circle, and a new portal leads the cat home, where she scarfs down some brown mush in a bowl. Seeing pet food commercials always makes me miss my cat Lola, this commercial in particular. Last time I was home, I brought her a little mouse toy full of catnip. After that she picked up the mouse in her teeth, carried over to the couch, and rolled around for several minutes in a hazy delirium. "Oh my god, Lola," I said.

Prom teens drenched as pier collapses as they crowd together for group pic... but they still made it to the ball Parents helped dry out high school students' posh frocks with hairdryers after lake mishap It is one of the most anticipated evenings in an American student’s high school experience. And for this group of teenagers from Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, prom night will certainly last long in the memory after they got drenched while posing in their finery while standing on a pier. The group, from Kettle Moraine High School, had spent hours preparing for their big bash - with many of the girls having primped and preened themselves with manicures, pedicures and hair appointments. But as the number of promgoers and their dates increased on the wooden pier at the lake house home of one of their parents to have their picture taken, a panel collapsed – and the glammed-up bunch toppled into the water. “I heard like, one crack, and then the whole thing collapsed from under us,” student Matt Timm told Wisn.com. Classmate Sydney Rogers said: “All of a sudden I was standing in the water.

Perhaps it’s a grim subject, but safety and distance from world conflict can be a motivating factor in your choice to expatriate.

Thus, we’ve assembled a list of the 10 best places to live if you want to escape world conflict. 10. Switzerland’s long history of neutrality and its tucked away location among the valleys of the Alps still make it a safe bet, even despite having a high number of bordering nations. 9. Costa Rica has a stable democracy, a disbanded military and a national policy of neutrality. 8. There are regions of Papua New Guinea that are still being discovered for the first time. 7. Canada is the second largest nation in the world, yet it only shares a land border with one other country– the U.S.A.– and it is a peaceful border. 6. 5.
I Went on a Wizard Quest A few months ago, I had the most fun I have ever had in my entire life at a place called Wizard Quest in Wisconsin. I've been trying to explain exactly what it is to people ever since, but haven't had much luck. According to their website, it's a "13000-square-foot fantasy-themed labrynth (we call it the quadrasphere)." But that doesn't make it sound anywhere near as awesome as it actually is, so here's a blog about it. If you intend to visit this place in the near future, maybe don't read this blog. These photos make this place look crappy, but that's just because I didn't realize I'd be blogging about Wizard Quest, so the camera I took along wasn't really up to the job. Anyway, this is where our adventure started: in a library room with talking, mystical plasma screen picture frames. Once the mystical plasma screens had explained our mission to us (something about freeing four wizards trapped in elemental realms) this bookcase opened up into a "vortex tunnel." And a mirror maze...

Oregon school lands new professional track in exchange for famous waffle iron | Prep Rally Building new athletic facilities are expensive, and the onus they put on school districts is sky high given the dire financial straits that many states find themselves in. Amidst this sea of financial concerns and general uncertainty, one Oregon school came up with a novel way to get a desperately needed, professional quality running track: It traded a waffle iron for it. The Bowerman waffle iron which was traded for a track revitalization — Nike via Portland Oregonian As reported by the Portland Oregonian, Condon (Ore.) High was in desperate need for a new track and runways for the long jump, pole vault and javelin events. Yet, instead of a lengthy process of soliciting donations and trying to get public funding, Jon Bowerman dug through his family's attic and pulled out an old, beaten up waffle iron once wielded by his father, legendary Oregon track coach Bill Bowerman. The new Condon High track — WildCanyonGames.org Unsurprisingly, Nike jumped at the chance.
