That was pretty terrible. I had Marin at #1 before today. Now I don't know who to put there. I actually think F&D has had the overall best day, though I had her tied w/Alex for last yesterday. I guess it's a three-way tie for first with Alex in last place. Lat should definitely pull a mulligan on this one.

Cmon, people! This post is even funnier than Marin's stand-up bit on how dogs are stupid and cats are lazy. I never thought about this until Marin pointed it out in her routine, but did you ever notice how when you throw a stick, a dog fetches it? Contrast this with a cat, which invariably sits there, licking itself and looking contemptuously at you as if to say "get that stick your own damn self!"

Gold, Marin! Solid gold! Keep it up!
