Introducing Furfur

I’d been admiring Furfur at the pet store for several weeks—back then, his name was Austin. We really liked each other through the glass, and I ended up getting him for my birthday! I didn’t want to keep calling him “Austin,” so, inspired by his appearance and personality, I consulted a book of demon names. When I came across “Furfur” (an archduke of Hell in Christian mythology), I thought, If that isn’t a cat name, I don’t know what is. It suited him perfectly. Welcome to the house, Furfur!

Huell

Glad I got to meet Huell Howser once. He lived up to his TV image totally.

Huel's autograph.
I'm not sure exactly when we got to meet him, but whenever it was, it was the 16th:

16th:  Huell Howser.

Overheard: 180 Days Sober

Two guys sitting in adjacent bathroom stalls talking shit about sobriety while, apparently, shitting:

Guy #1: "I drank myself into a coma. Woke up the next day, got a dog, and decided to be sober. Stayed that way for 180 days."

Guy #2: "That's it!"
