Who let those tribbles onto the dinner table??? My god, Man, we’ll have tribbles spilling out of every door in the apartment any second now! Even the overhead ones!
I don’t agree that fictional characters should be taken as a source of inspiration. Fictional characters are fake heroes who are always protected by the pen that writes them. Everything about them is conveniently concocted. Stealing Robin’s lines, if they inspire us, we are certainly doomed.
Love the Han Solo Princess Leia moment from Endor in Return of the Jedi which the Man and Woman share! Props to Puck as Gandolf the Grey in Fellowship; “No one touches the potato salad, even the robber mice!”
Of course fictional characters can be inspiring. Remember Neil Gaiman’s paraphrase of G.K. Chesterton: “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Pucky’s Potato Salad. Here is yesterday’s Face book post from Georgia. She emphasizes that it is safe for cats and yes, Puck adores it. “A lot of folks have expressed surprise that a cat would desire potato salad. Well, 1. Puck LOVES People-food. He has eaten corn off the cob before! And 2. Our potato salad is full with BACON! This is my potato salad recipe—It’s cat friendly, and people tested. And if you hate mayo, you’re in luck, because I do too (SOLIDARITY!) and this recipe calls for NONE OF IT! Lol!Loaded Baked Potato Salad:3 Large Russet Baked Potatoes16 oz (or so) sour cream2-3 tb milk (or so… I eyeball a lot)Pepper, salt3/4 of a Hormel “Real” Bacon Bits 3oz bottle1-1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar, with some extra for topping1. Prepare baked potatoes (Rad recipe for baked potatoes: Stab each potato all over with a fork. Place on foiled pan/cookie tin. Roast plain at 450 for 25 minutes. Brush all over with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally all over with salt and pepper. Flip onto other side, roast again for 25 more minutes. Let potatoes sit 3-5 minutes. Pick them up with an oven mitt and gently—gently—strike the potato against a clean surface 2-3 times to loosen/“fluff” the flesh inside. —I was cook’s help in the school’s kitchens my freshman year of college)2. Let baked potatoes cool. Leaving the crispy skins on, cube them into 1-2 inch cubes. They might get fluffy, that’s ok! Don’t stress!3. In a separate bowl, whisk the sour cream, milk, salt and pepper together. Mix into potatoes when creamy. Then add the bacon. Mix again. Add the cheese. Mix again. Each time it will get a little fluffier.Serve with extra shredded cheese and bacon bits sprinkled over! Garnish with parsley if you want a little green, but IMPORTANT NOTE: To make it cat safe, NO CHIVES, GARLIC, OR GREEN ONIONS! Those will make cats (or dogs) sick. And of course, this would be a treat sized portion. Don’t give them a full people serving, more like a taste! "
Lupin can cosplay Arséne Lupin, the French gentleman cat burglar or Lupin III his famous grandson? The anime is family friendly, the manga is closer to NC-17.
Today is Red, White, and Blueberry Day. I interpret that to mean Strawberries, Red Raspberries, or maybe Cherries or Cranberries), Gooseberries, and Blueberries. Have some!
In the US, it is also Independence Day, when we celebrate our independence from the British Empire by gorging on unhealthy food, drinking weak beer, and blowing things up.
It is ironic that the first independent country in the Americas never got to pick a good name for itself, thereby getting stuck with “America” because that was all that was left. People from Canada can call themselves Canadians/Canadiens, from Mexico it’s Mexicans, from Bolivia, Bolivians, etc. We could call ourselves “United Statesians,” but that stumbles and trips off the tongue into a double pratfall. “USians,” (Youessians) sounds like “You Hessians!” which is confusing, at best. So we’re stuck with “Americans” because all the good names are taken. Is it any wonder we have an identity crisis, with such a non-specific name?
YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was hoping for a Pucky 4th of July potato salad story arc. Didn’t realize it would actually start out as a fandom arc.
All this talk of potato salad made me remember – my Irish grandmother used to say she cooked the potatoes by “boiling them in their jackets”. Sounds grisly.
People have been wishing Georgia would update the characters’ page. She just posted this: “Oh my goodness! I found a cast of characters page I began back in 2016, to update our “Meet the Reporters” page with Our IX Lives characters—and a few others as well! Wow, thank you, past me! I hope I can actually finally finish this soon! BOY FOUR YEARS GOES QUICK Also, oh my goodness, looks like Captain Nimble’s original name was going to be Ransom! (…I vaguely recall I had plans for a water damaged letter to arrive, panic to follow when one of the only clear words would be ‘Ransom’ and then Princess assuring everyone ‘that’s just Randy’s full name!’ Aw, alas!! Lost to time and space—Jack B. it shall remain)”

You don’t have to feel like you’re lost in space
You’re original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew how much we love you
You’re a hurricane AND a rainbow
No good reason to feel so left out
Just ’cause you feel sorry for yourself and want to pout
Like a lightning bolt, let your aura glow
And when it’s time, start the show
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
‘Cause Lupin you’re a firework
Come on show us what your worth
Make us go “Oh, oh, oh!”
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Lupin you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make us go “Oh, oh, oh!”
You’re gonna leave us wantin’ more more more
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It’s always been inside of you, you, you
And now it’s time to let it through
‘Cause Lupin you’re a firework
On the Fourth of July
