Awesome build, very impressive. My kid's 15, but you know I'm going into the attic to get his laundry basket full of Lego's out just one more time...

p.s. Just to get it out of the way, let me be the asshat who misses the point and says ".... but those characters inside are not to scale!" There. Now carry on.

I suppose you've already checked every trouser- and jacket pocket, every bag you used, the washing machine and dryer, the laundry basket, the fridge, the sofa crevices and under the sofa and bed. That's all that comes to my mind right now. Maybe this'll help you: http://wherethefuckdidileavemykeys.com/

Looks like SQ went for the laundry basket after he found no stash-able purchase in Fido's fur...who was all like, WTFuuuu??

Your video, The Best Cat In A Laundry Basket Video, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

It works better if you hang a large rock above them instead of the laundry basket.

One province away from here, actually.

And I think I was at that party.

er... I think.

(Had to replace my laundry basket that week)

Cat probably likes the clear box. Had a cat that's dead now, would want to get inside any box laying around. If you had the flaps closed and they would kinda support her weight, she'd jump up there and immediately fall through when she got to the center. Would also do it with laundry baskets...... could flip one over and her and she'd just lay in there and bat at people through the holes in it. Miss this cat, she was a complete weirdo but funny.

Then another cat has this obsession with anything plastic, at first glance you'd think it wanted what was in the plastic bags, but it wants IN the bag. The sunday ads that are color and kinda slippery like plastic, she'll lay on those and spread them all around to roll around on. Trash bags, especially the see through white kind if it's really crinkled and makes noise she'll play with them, roll around all over them. I think it's just the noise the plastic makes that she's obsessed with. The sister to this particular cat has an obsession with running water and bath tubs, but doesn't like to get wet. So she'll come running if you're taking a leak, washing your hands, running water in the kitchen sink (although this less so because it was used to give her a bath once and she's afraid of it now). She'll jump in bath tubs and roll around as long as they are pretty much dry. These are cats taken in as kittens when they were found in a wood pile in the yard, with no mother cat in sight....as long with a third male kitten that was given away..no idea if he has any strange obsessions.

@bcglorf:

I'm not saying most cops are as bad as these, HOWEVER most police officers know who the abusive and/or dirty cops are in their department, and yet they do nothing about it. That's "the code of silence" for you. And that makes them accessories after the fact. So even if most cops aren't abusing their authority, they're still not protecting and serving the public when they let the shitheels in their departments get away with their misdeeds. So they share the guilt.

@NetRunner:

I saw 'Sicko', and Michael Moore certainly did try to make the insurance companies look like the bad guys. And to me that's fine, because they are one of the bad guys, IMHO.

At the end of this film the maker did list several resources to help combat police problems, yet you casually dismiss that. Michael Moore ended his film by carrying a laundry basket up the stairs of Capitol Hill. I enjoyed the point he was trying to make, but who was really being more constructive in their closing statements?

I don't see this film as a literal call to arms. I see it raising awareness (i.e., educating) through specific cases and documentation, and I see this method as being very valid. You can look at the problem of police brutality academically if you want, and that's fine. But it also helps to look at the individual cases. Look at what doctors do to stay up to date: They read research, but they also read case studies. You can't say that medical case studies are irrelevant. And neither are the brutality cases shown in this film. So read the Christopher Commission report if you want (and that's good), but I also think this video should be required viewing. To ignore this is to say something like the only history that is valid is found in official documentation, and not the stories of individuals who are a part of that history. And I know historians use every source available to tease out the details of what was really going on at any point in time, including the writings of individuals.

I'm just as aware of blankfist's libertarian beliefs as you are, but I don't think that should factor into what YOU take away from this video. I'm still a liberal. I still believe in universal health care. I still believe that not a single person should have to worry about going hungry or becoming homeless. I still believe in free education for everyone, all the way through college. And I also believe in human rights. And when I see them stripped away by bad cops, it makes me angry. I want to know about it, even if the details are horrible, and I also want to know what I can do help stop it. That's what I took away from this video.

This shouldn't be a partisan issue. When someone breaks the law, regardless of his or her occupation, there should be consequences. What's so controversial about that?
