    Once I showed the movie Gattaca to some friends who had never seen it. All of us had comments to make about it and every time anyone talked I paused the movie so people could make their observations, ask their questions, etc.

    A bit later after several pauses my wife said “we’ve been watching this movie for 45 minutes and we’re only 10 minutes into it.”

    My cats once got in a fight with a praying mantis in an old townhouse.

    I’d seen praying mantisses before but this one was a. in my home and b. large enough to be genuinely a little intimidating. The cats won, but it took a long time because they were being more cautious than usual.



  • I used to use canned air, but they eventually stopped caring.

    The room where I spend most of my time and they get up to most of their shenanigans is pretty long across so, unless I used a super soaker, I’m not sure I could hit them with water.

    I have occasionally thrown something soft - like a pillow, I have no desire to issue actual corporal punishment - in their direction. That’s gotten mixed results.
