Stuff + Cats = Awesome

I enjoy my weekends. I do stuff like, sit down, watch stuff, eat things, drink liquids, and waste time. I read Calvin and Hobbes and watch movies I've seen hundreds of times before. I play guitar and annoy my neighbors in doing so. I spend my weekdays working for the man and getting little to no appreciation for it, so I figure my weekends should be the complete opposite of anything closely related to my professional life. So today, for example, I had two corn dogs, a PB&J, a bowl of strawberry oatmeal, a Newcastle and a Sprite for breakfast, all while sitting in my boxer-briefs, playing with my new computer and watching the edited version of Tomcats on FX. Between bouts of photo editing sessions and absolute mindlessness I went browsing. I stopped by the Hot Librarian, laughed, and then somehow stumbled onto one of the most insanely hilarious things I've ever come across, period . <---- (there's the period)

The site is www.stuffonmycat.com and the premise is very simple:

1. People have cats
2. They put stuff on those cats
3. They take pictures of stuff on their cats
4. They send the pictures of stuff on their cats to www.stuffonmycat.com

I know you're thinking: "Why the hell didn't I come up that? I've always liked putting stuff on my cat and laughing at it. It's funny. It's stuff on a cat; of course it's funny. Granted, I've never considered taking a picture of my cat with stuff on it, but I should've thought of that first. It's ingenius. Brilliant. Prodigious, even." So I almost barfed from laughing so hard. I fell on the floor and couldn't breathe, which made me choke on the spit in the back of my throat (if you know me, you know exactly what I'm talking about). I had to cough forcefully to regain control of myself, which then made me dry heave, when then almost made me wet heave.

It may just be because I'm an idiot, or that I have no friends in LA and I'm borderline autistic, but the whole concept of the website almost made me shat myself out of pure, unadultered hilarity. There are thirteen categories of stuffonmycat.com, ranging from "food on my cat" to "naughty stuff on my cat", which includes bras on cats, cigarettes on cats, and tiny-sombrero-wearing cats with Jack Daniels and guns (cool stuff on cats). And the slogan is equally ingenious and correspondingly amusing: "stuff + cats = awesome".

It's funny 'cause it's true.
