...and if the napkin holder is out of napkins; well...voila! 400 of 'em to choose from!

what exactly would you be wiping up with pages from his book though - that's the question? Anyone got kids with hamsters? Rip rip rip for one night....

I don't understand why anyone would be worried about what will happen to FCA after her probation ends.

She can always work (?) at Quinco Electrical in their office or warehouse. She would be good with the computers and adding pictures from their get-togethers on them. She is also good at handling money as if it were her own. Since they have the means to support GA and LA already, it wouldn't be any trouble to hire one more A. They even take the A's on vacation with them. Since they also own a real estate company, they can give FCA a house of her own at a price she could afford. Oh, and think of all the men working there!

With all the generous and vocal admirers she has, there surely must be enough places for her to stay each month of the year if she wants to get away!

And, if she has been watching JVM at all, she has already learned how to feed herself by diving in the dumpsters.

Money, place to stay and food. What more could anyone ask for?

Do any of you remember that famous book in the late 70's/early 80's called "101 Uses for a Dead Cat"? It was the gag gift of the Christmas season that year, my parents had a copy, I was only about 5, but I remember them laughing at the cartoon drawings. I'm a cat lover myself, but I have a sense of humour about the goofy little drawings- they were silly, not gorey.

How about 101 Uses for Baez's Bomb?

1. Doorstop
2. Birdcage liner
3. Keep a chapter in your purse to stablize wobbly patio tables when dining out
4. Dog turd wrapper for the dog park
5. Scrunch up some pages and put them into your boots to keep them dry and not squashed
6. Origami pocket squares!
7. Put a nail through it and presto! A sundial!
8. Take off the hardcover and use it to swoosh crumbs off your countertops
9. Shred it and donate to someone who is moving to protect their breakables
10. Open it flat and put it under your couch cushions, then test with a couple of Sumo wrestlers!

:seeya: Oh, hi Jose!

11. Line the 9-cat litter box.

I remember the one that you could use them as oven mitts. That was also the time Kliban came out with Mousy Cat Our daughter loved Mousy cat. She'd sing "love to eat them mousies, mousies are what I love to eat. Bites them theys heads off. Nibble on they tiny feet."


You forgot those that still have outhouses. They could also be put in port a potty's at county fairs, concerts and book signings.

“Florida’s public-record law needs to bow to a defendant’s right to a fair trial,” he said. “Some woman sitting behind her computer with nine cats knows more about the case than anybody. What you end up with is a dog and pony show, and people want to march in the parade. I think it is severely perverting[thwarting] justice.”


JB's quote above - the only thing better would have been if he had said the red inserted above.

What he really means is us cat bloggers are thwarting his version of the truth which would enable him and swampmom to profit off the death of a beautiful child. TFB

BBM: That statement says it all.

I find it to be very sad indeed that our justice system is not about justice at all. It is in fact a legal system--a system based on laws that thwart justice on many levels.

Our justice system allows for this: Evidence is collected and processed. A perp is arrested and charged. The perp either chooses an attorney or is provided legal representation.

Our legal system allows for this: Motions are filed and granted to suppress evidence. Stories are fabricated to imply (if not outright state) that the perp is really the victim in the matter. The true victim is in most cases forgotten altogether and in some cases blamed as the antagonist. This is in no way just. Yet it is perfectly legal.

The American justice system is ineffective in that it has virtually no power after the arraignment. That is when the American legal system takes over, and once that happens the circus begins. Everything is likely to turn into a huge mess of lies, deceit, politicking. There is no justice involved anymore. The whole process has become about winning at all costs.

I think about Caylee often. I hear her sweet voice singing, "You are my sunshine..." and I wonder how it is that her life meant and continues to mean nothing to her family as well as those who defended and continue to defend her killer. How did it come to be that "bloggers" cared and continue to care more about this sweet child than those who are supposed to love and cherish her?

How is it that anyone in this nation can defend and embrace a legal system that not only allows but encourages antics that deny justice to innocent victims? Our justice system, which is supposed to be the voice of these victims, is in most cases legally cut off at the knees. I am all for civil rights, but somewhere along the way the rights of the victim were forced to take a back seat to the rights of the accused. It was never meant to come to this! Our forefathers must be turning over in their graves.

There are many things about our nation that I am proud of. Our legal system is not one of them.

Something very strange or should I say hinky is going on - the kindle sales and the book sales are showing as the same number of sales -on novelrank for the month to date - now what are the chances of that? I think we are seeing combined sales on novelrank - both kindles and hardcovers - even though it states hardcover...:waitasec:

His amazon.com sales are showing as sales rank#5779/22/41 which is for books only....let me check kindle sales again there.
Okay now his kindle sales are showing up as Rank #1977......

Hmmm - what IS that smell???

Thanks.

As another reviewer so eloquently put it, "Bring it on, 5-star monkeys!"

For a good laugh, go to the review with the word "Mayhem" in the title dated Aug 3. Go to the last comment before my reply - somebody buy some pacifiers for them!!!

Logical, start collecting Lilies - I see a funeral for this book coming soon!

Words escape me....and that is saying a LOT!

Yet another reason to be so very grateful for WS.

Perhaps it was mentioned upthread...

There were a number of things about JBs latest quip that occurred to me - I've mentioned one or two already. But what really sticks for me (and my nine cats ha!) is just how misogynistic it was - quite, ahem, bigoted and stereotypical. It tells me quite a bit about the shape of JBs brain.... For me, it seems he struggles with the classic "madonna/" conundrum. And despite his defense - he really doesn't like women - unless they hold a candle to illuminate his ego.

Well, it's sad really .....well not really...:giggle: ....Baez seems to be trying to put up "the good fight" - everytime we whoop it up and laugh at his dropping numbers....Oh Hi Jose! :seeya: ....he scrapes together a hundred bucks or so and orders a few more books...

Guess what every body he's every met, including those cast offs in South America that he met at the dating clubs, will be getting for Christmas...

So the real question we should be sleuthing tonight is....does he need another steel shed for book storage in his back garden?.....:waitasec:
