"Am I getting double airmiles for this?"
I'm coming late to this one, but I have to say -- I was totally charmed by the story of Emily the cat, who wound up in France after climbing into a shipping container in Chicago and taking an accidental three-week trip to Belgium. Workers there found her, read her tags, and contacted the owners. Apparently Emily was a pretty huge celebrity in France, such that Continental Airlines heard about it and offered the cat a business-class seat back to the USA. At the inevitably heartwarming press conference, the owners told the Washington Post ...
"She seems a little calmer than she was before, just a little quieter, a little, maybe, wiser," said Lesley McElhiney, 32.
Well, I'd be calmer too if I'd just pulled a Rivers Cuomo and spent 21 days locked in a box. But enough sarcasm: This whole post exists purely for the purpose of running that most excellent photo of Emily checking out the view!

That shot you took at Rivers Cuomo was the funniest thing I've read in a long time. I always knew that guy had issues, but he's much crazier than I had ever imagined.
So in my mind, the post exists purely for poking fun at Rivers Cuomo. Something also could be said for the post-Pinkerton albums, although the Green album sure does rock when one is in the mood for summertime pop-punk.

The guy doesn't have issues, he has a subscription.
They don't make stationery like this where i'm from - so fragile, so refined
So I sniff
and I lick
your envelope and fall to little pieces every time
I wonder what clothes you wear to school
I wonder how you decorate your room
I wonder how you touch yourself
and curse myself for being across the sea
(I like the song but it's creepy)
