Kissing Banned in England

Eve — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 21:27:22 +0000

It’s true. England actually banned kissing today to stop people from spreading germs. Fortunately, that was in 1439. And given the state of oral hygiene then, I’m guessing most people were not too disappointed. Fortunately, we’ve come a long way in 500 years. By 1969, lots of folks were happily (and legally) hugging and kissing each other as they watched the launch of Apollo 11 carry the first men to the Moon. Just nineteen years later, in another celestial occasion watched by a far smaller audience (okay, just family and friends), Michael J. Fox married Tracy Pollan*. I’m sure lots of kissing was involved.

So don’t get your knickers in a bunch. Go ahead and celebrate July 16 by giving your sweetie a smooch (or just hug a pet). Then sit back and enjoy the latest video from our Bejeweled Blitz cats. And have a happy Monday!

Happy Day After Father’s Day! Woot!

Eve — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 21:06:15 +0000

I don’t know about you but I’m happy it’s Monday. It means we can all get back to real life now. You know, you can stop being on your best behavior, or at least wishing that your kid would attempt something resembling that. Dads can hang their kids’ lovely hand-drawn cards on the fridge and now figure out what to do with that odd “coffee mug” made out of pipe cleaning wire.

In honor of another vastly under-appreciated Normal Day, let’s remember the things that make each day a miracle. Waking up in the morning. Smelling the dog’s fishy breath. Eating creamsicles. Are you with me?

Well, it turns out that not everyone was preparing for Father’s Day last Saturday. Over in Bejeweled Blitz land, one of our laser cats apparently clawed her way into the, um, cookie jar. And, pardon me, but it looks like Snackers may have overindulged.

Have a great Monday!

Hey campers – it’s the first Monday in June and, of course, it’s wet and grey again. I was going to write about our latest Snackers and Anchovy video but first I need to digress. Let’s all remember that summer is 16 days away, kids are almost done with school, swimming pools are open, and I’m still wearing fleece. If I sound a little cranky, it’s because I am.

Okay, I’m done. Now, did I mention that it was Caturday this weekend? Well, it was. And if you were out enjoying the sunshine (don’t speak to me) and you happened to miss it, you can still see how our awesome Bejeweled Blitz cats spent the day. (It looks like it was sunny at their place.) So check out their video and then go blast some gems. And spread some sunshine. Please.
