I don’t think the cat was shaved, but the all the hair was singed off.  
That and when Melin left, I think she took the magical moose shlong with her.

Um…guys?

Is it normal for the microwave to be emitting off smoke?

Oh well, it’s probably just steam. In the mean time, put strawberries in the toes of his clogs!

Hmph. **Astroboy** isn’t used to caucasian women anymore… he was surprised at how I glow in the dark… Did the pizza boy stick around? I wanna send him out for some fake tanning lotion and a g-string.

Wait a minute…

Holy shit! **Coldy** ’s got both! Who wants to help me get this stuff on evenly? [sub]The lotion, not the g-string. Perv.[/sub]

Hey look! If you take some of that leftover pizza and spread it on the walls you can make new wallpaper or murals. Well, sort of. OK, so it doesn’t really stick, but it’s fun trying. And mashing it into the carpet sorta works too. C’mon, I bet we can make Pizza Carpet everywhere!

Ok, so now that I’m covered in this fake tanning crap, maybe I’ll roll around on the white floofy carpet in the den.  
I was going to do that in the bedroom, but I didn’t think it would leave a very interesting pattern on the rubber.

Why on earth would anyone have _rubber_ on their bedroom floor?
