> [@mnemosyne](#): > > Hell. And the other one is a cute little tortie, but seems to be a little stupid and suffers from near-debilitating shyness. I do love them, though! Not to derail the conversation, but I wonder if that’s a tortie thing? I love mine dearly, but she’s dumb as a box of hair, and she also suffers from debilitating shyness. Anyway, my answer is my best friend. We don’t always see eye to eye, and I’d be lying if I said that sometimes she doesn’t make me crazy, but besides my husband, she is somebody I can count on without hesitation or reservation. ---

> [@janis\_and\_c0](#): > > My Meatloaf. There have nearly been people stabbed to death via fork over the _second-to-last_ piece. Any hints would be appreciated. No need to give the whole recipe away. I love a good meatloaf so much. It must be somewhat crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle. I can’t make it work at the same time. ☹ And of course a great tomato sauce that is baked in. I kick ass on mashed potatoes but I can’t even reproduce The Cracker Barrel in meat loaf goodness. ---

And of course a great tomato sauce that is baked in. My meatloaf is pretty different from most people’s. I don’t actually use tomato sauce of any kind. In 2 lbs hamburger use: 1 whole onion & one whole green pepper, processed, or diced very fine. 2/3 C Parmesan cheese, 1 C Stove top stuffing, crushed or processed fine, 1 egg, 5T French Dressing salt, pepper, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, to taste. Glaze with honey mustard. ---

> [@Batsinma\_Belfry](#): > > I have some damn good hair. Ah yes. Many a woman has, at first meekly and then with considerably more energy when I did not object, marveled over my hair. It’s long, thick and relatively dark. And while it’s certainly no stranger to split ends, those ends hide very well. It’s also fairly sturdy; at last calculation, it (really, my neck) can support more than 120 pounds. I’d bet the limiting agent there is actually my neck. ---

My dad! My dad is like a character from a movie - he has movie star looks (he gets mistaken for Al Pacino,) he’s rich, he has extremely good taste, he is amazing at playing the piano, he dresses incredibly well, and he’s single, and he’s slept with like 600 women. He travels all over the world, for his job, and he always brings me back awesome stuff. He literally has mistresses in several different countries in Eastern Europe. My friends are always like, “your dad is the best dad ever.” The female friends are always saying they want to fuck him. It’s been an odd experience growing up with this guy as my dad who I basically assumed is just the normal template for a dad for most of my life, and it was only when I got older that I started to realize how radically unusual this situation is. My dad is badass! ---

> [@Justin\_Credible](#): > > My [wang](http://picasaweb.google.com/SuperKing80/SuperKingTheBestOneOfTheThree#5244174474521273426). That brings back memories.

That’s nice, **Doug** , but [Feather here](http://img313.imageshack.us/my.php?image=featherinthecloset9is.jpg) is the shedding-est cat alive. She’s like Pigpen from the Peanuts cartoons, with a cloud of fur around her at all times. (For the record, she’s not shy at all. Not super bright, though.)
