Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
aka
left this world and headed to the next
at 9:40 this morning.
He died at home held by his companion
Anita Marie
aka
“Mommy”
he got to say goodbye this morning to
” Luis “
aka
” Papa “
He was
surrounded
by his brothers
Darwin, Blitzer, and Micey
( from the Feline clan )
and his sisters
Domino and Cerebus
( the Canine clan )
All I can say is,
Wolfgang made my life shine
and my heart beat a little stronger-
I can’t say I’ll miss him
because he will always be
with me.

Jeremy Bentham was an interesting guy who advocated for things like equal rights for women and the abolition of slavery.
Jeremy Bentham also had written into his Will that his body be preserved, stored in a cabinet and brought out for special board meetings.
Then one day his head, which was not preserved well…fell off. So they made a wax one and stuck his real head between his feet ( see picture above) .
Jeremy Bentham’s Head
I’m sorry to say I couldn’t have made this stuff up.
God, I wish I had.
OH YES
OH YES
OH YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES
Here it is at last!
THE LONG AWAITED RELEASE OF
READY SET BUMBO

( there’s a site to visit as well-! so go here after the film )
Hi God,
Something Strange and Mysterious has happened
and I’m
chalking it up to your
Godly Powers.
Either that or you’re drinking again….
but we’ll get to that later.
Anyway, here’s the skinny:
Over the last few weeks Irregular Bones has gone from an
on-line
journal
where I write about my cats and my friends and family and head hunters and civil rights and
homeless people and what my bus rides to and from work are like
and my hero worship of Rod Serling and Bruce Campbell
to
a
NEWS SOURCE.
I kid you not.
So being that I’m trying to get on your good side
( well, at least on Sundays )
I’m prepared to answer your Call:
I have a half a pound of Pez on hand at all times
an endless supply of Jolt cola
a weird sense of humor
and Google at my finger tips.
I am SO going to have fun with this.
Thanks for the Call God,
it’s a good one.
Oh and between me and you
I don’t care what anyone says
YOU ARE FUNNY.
See Ya Next Sunday….
ahhhhmennnnn.
Pussy cat, pussy cat,
Where have you been?
I’ve been to London to visit the Queen.
Pussy cat, pussy cat,
What did you do there?
That’s for me to know
and for you
to wonder about!
I hate it when stuff goes mainstream-
Today I went to a ” weird news stories ” site and they have this column where weird stories are happening so often that they’re no longer considered strange OR unusual…
so another one bites the dust-
DARN!
The category of stories of people keeping deceased relatives’ bodies around, based either on fear of losing the relationships or a psychotic belief that the deceased will regenerate (or sometimes, to conceal the death so that government checks keep coming), has been retired.
A funeral parlor in London told The Times in September that it was finally time to bury Annie Lamas, who died 10 years ago but whose body has been kept in the parlor’s cold storage unit by her two adult daughters, who visit almost weekly to chat with her and touch her up. Elder daughter Josephine, 59, was said to make sure Mom’s lipstick is fresh (on a body that has wasted to the point of leathery skin stretched over bones) and place fresh padding on Mom’s stomach cavity. [The Times (London), 9-6-07]
Do you know what I think is funny?
I think it’s funny when people with voice and power
demand
that
the very people they’ve silenced
speak for them….
It’s just a thing that seems to happen every
once and awhile.

It was much more then it appeared to be.
( below is a link to a great NPR interview with Marc Zicree, author )
WRONG!
It’s a CAKE!
It’s Kitty Litter Cake and I got the Recipe and Picture from
So give it a try….it’s YUMMY.
Ingredients:
1 German chocolate cake mix
1 white cake mix
1 large pkg vanilla instant pudding mix
1 pkg vanilla sandwich cookies
Green food coloring
12 small Tootsie Rolls
1 NEW kitty litter pan
1 NEW plastic kitty litter pan liner
1 NEW Pooper Scooper
Directions:
Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans). Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble. Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix using 5. When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. (Mix in just enough of the pudding to moisten it. You don’t want it soggy. Combine gently).
Line new, clean kitty litter box. Put mixture into litter box. Put three unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls and bury in mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top.
Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top. (This is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter.) Heat 3 Tootsie Rolls in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake; sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Spread remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top; take one and heat until pliable, hang it over the side of the kitty litter box, sprinkling it lightly with cookie crumbs. Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the cookie crumbs around.
