So look at who's got all the toes!

26 toes has she, and none to spare!

Polydactyl cats- sometimes referred to as Hemingway cats- are on the rise. That's because polydactylism is a dominant genetic trait. Get used to the look of them. They're taking our cats' feet's jobs!

Wiki for polydactyl cats.- read about Hemingway's connection to the "mitten kittens".

About the "real" Hemingway cats.

Emmy Time!

Kurt Cobain Would Be 40.

Yesterday was Kurt's 40th Birthday. Time marches on all of us.

Pulp Fiction Kangaroo.

Out of the two places Butch's dad's watch spent most of its time in Pulp Fiction, this is my favorite. How Fabienne could forget to check the kangaroo is beyond me. I love this thing.

Years ago I bought one of these for a dollar in a flea market in Port Angeles, Washington. It's a different color than the one in the movie, but it's still beautiful. It will hold your watch, it will hold your man-rings, it will hold your change, lighter- any little thing. Whatever will you do with your hands now? They're obsolete!

They date back to the mid '50's and they're the fruit of American labor. Get your own here (the place where I got the photograph above), or haunt Ebay, where they're going for a tenth as much as that site is asking.

Put it with your Maltese Falcon.

Avocadolite Farm- The Game.

Avocadolite Farm. This site hasn't been updated in awhile, and the terrific little crocheted animals that they used to vend are all sold. Maybe the farm is in foreclosure. I honestly don't know.

What I do know is that this little puzzle game featured on the site won't let me get any work done these last few days. Deceptively simple, it has an old school arcade feeling to it that you'll likely enjoy. Try it out at work and stick it to the man!

Here's the link to the game that will cost you your job.

The Wonderful Watches of World War One...

...and earlier still. This link from The Watchismo Times - basically a wristwatch fetish site- offers examples of watches designed to take a punch during combat and thus to ensure that there's always time to kill. I like a lot of watches, but the picture below? I love that watch.

Aren't These Beautiful?

These are leather desk accessories! Really a nice size, too. A cell phone would fit in the Kangaroo's pouch! They're available at the MoMA store.

Kangaroo: $35. Piggy Bank $45.

As a side note, I ask why all the good coin banks are so expensive. Defeats the whole purpose, really. I keep my money in a pile in my shower.
