Get some free pussy this weekend

SPCA To Adopt Cats Out For Free This Weekend

The SPCA is a traditional animal shelter, which means no animal is turned away.

In order to bring more animals in, the agency has to place the same number of cats and dogs with adoptive families. It's a constant juggling act.

Although the rate of dog adoptions has remained steady in 2010, cats are not being adopted at the same level they were last summer.
So, the SPCA is taking a first-ever, radical approach to the situation.

This Saturday and Sunday, adult cats will be given away, free of charge, to anyone, as long as they have legitimate photo identification and fill out a pre-adoption questionnaire.

All of the usual adoption fees will be waived for this one-time event.
The adult cats, six months and up, will have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated and initially examined by a certified veterinarian.

People who adopt a cat will receive a free starter kit from Iams.
The give-away will be held at 11900 Conrey Road, the SPCA facility in Sharonville on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.

Don't Diddle & Drive

I find the laws against texting and driving to be some of the most ridiculous things we have in the country. It should be common sense that if talking on a phone and driving makes you drive like your head is up your ass, then texting and driving is a quick way to wrap your car around a light pole. Yet we still had to waste taxpayer money to create a law to ban an action that is guaranteed to get you killed because people don't have enough self preservation or common sense.

I have a feeling we will be seeing a new law soon:

Driver arrested after officer finds her distracted by adult toy during traffic stop

Yeah, you read that right.

CINCINNATI - It was likely the most unique traffic stop two police officers from Elmwood Place police have ever had.

Officers pulled over 32-year-old Colondra Hamilton for an equipment violation on Aug. 17 around 7:30 p.m. in the 200 block of Township Avenue in Elmwood Place.

Officers found Hamilton to have her pants unbuttoned with a female sex toy in her lap.

Ok, this is weird, but it is not that bad. Its not like she had a passenger holding a computer playing a video...

She told officers she had been using the toy while driving, as well as watching a video on a computer her passenger was holding. It is not clear what the nature of that video was.

I am really interested to know what the nature of the video is. There are two options

She was looking at porn. While rather odd to look rub one out while looking at porn on a computer your passenger is holding, it is still porn. That is the proper reaction to porn, it was just an improper time to watch it.
She was watching anything other than porn. What if she was watching Dora the Explorer or Doctor Who? That would be fucked up.

Meijer Disappointment (sent in by Sara G)

The picture may be blurry, but I think that is a good thing in this situation. I wouldn't want to be responsible for that chicks rolls and leopard print clogging the tubes of the internet.

Friday Awesome: Green Dog Cafe

I have been meaning to post this up for a while. The Green Dog Cafe has great food at a decent price. Plus they have a bacon wrapped hot dog... How can you not love it?! Their mustard is just perfect. I kinda want to get a vat of it and go all Beerfest on it.
