It may take months, since I don’t see him often, but I could try. I’d like to see a picture of her explaining, if she’s not a cat, what the hell species IS she? I’m not buying “cartoon character” as a species. And human doesn’t get past me either, unless she’s going to explain why she has a freakin’ TAIL. ---

She’s an anthropomorphic cat-like being. Not a real cat, not a human. ---

Hello Kitty is a “cat” who owns a pet cat of her own, in the same way Goofy is a “dog” who associates with Pluto the dog. ---

It’s true: nobody at the CBC knows how to spell “sneak peek” correctly. Also: I had to clean up a disgusting Cheez Whiz stain on a table today. Cheez Whiz is one of the most vile substances I’ve ever encountered. ---

> [@EmilyG](#): > > The worst was when I took a book out of my library and two of the pages were stuck together with\* gum\*. God, I hate gum. I once checked out a book of actor’s monologues from our local library. About half the pages had been cut out of the book. I guess the last person who checked it out really liked some of the monologues and didn’t have access to a photocopier. :mad: ---

There’s a September mini-rants thread now. > **[Do you remember the mini-est rant of September?](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=732728)** > > Ultra, ultra mini, but: Is there anything more inconsiderate than someone who, when he accidentally pulls the sheet off my side of the bed, just lays down and goes to sleep? Seriously? Grump, growl, grumble… ---

> [@LavenderBlue](#): > > My husband decided to join me on a the diet. So he brought the grossest possible thing he could buy to kill his taste buds. Ladies and gentlemen. . . CAPPUCHINO POTATO CHIPS . . . my poor nose is still begging for mercy. Sorry, but no. I was unfortunately in the room when a friend of mine opened a bag of _calamari chips_. Yuck…_tear gas_ smells better. ---

> [@The\_Vorlon](#): > > but I like the Garlic Cheese flavored ones. Garlic Cheese Bread was last year’s contest winner. From this year’s contest, I like the Wasabi Ginger the best. The Bacon Mac and Cheese was pretty meh, like you said. The Cappuccino and Mango Salsa were horrid. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-gust-of-fresh-mini-rants/694582.md?page=19)
