I suppose I could have told you myself. But I think it sounds better coming from him.
See you all on Monday.

You know, after you have presumably not blown your deadline it should be your right to be a typical slave to your cats. Or so I am informed by the feline authorities…
Have a nice weekend and may you come back with all limbs still attached (again, the feline authorities…)
O Great Scalzi, what a great picture of Mighty Lopsided Cat.
For a change, your commentary is correct. It does indeed sound better coming from Mighty He. In fact, the less we hear from you the better.
Imagine how wonderful things would be if we never heard from you at all, but instead just saw a wonderful assortment of fresh and perfect pictures of the Beauteous Ghlaghghee and Her Faithful Minions (carefully excluding Rancid Dog-Thing, of course).

Oh, sure, send a cat to do a man’s work! Enjoy your weekend.
It’s the same reason you get James Earl Jones to do your announcements: No one is likely to argue with the voice (or cat) of authority.
Adorable lopsided cat.
Also, a question for when you have time – any chance you can see about getting google to respond to this? http://www.twitlonger.com/show/bt5akp Basically they pulled someone’s account (a loyal, paying user) without letting him know why and he’s been trying to reach someone who works at google to no avail. I know you have one of their computers, and this concerns me a lot and likely would other readers here too.
Mighty Lopsided Cat looks like he should be voiced by Jeremy Irons.
Is it just me, or is Lopsided Cat becoming less lopsided and more levelheaded (in the literal sense) with each new appearance? I hope it’s the latter, even if his given name were to be more cool than accurate.
Lopsided Cat, please tell OGH to enjoy his idle weekend – as long as he keeps opening those tins at regular intervals.
Why is this fine looking feline called “Lopsided”? He looks like a handsome, straightsided fellow to us.
I second that question! Ghlaghghee is quite ghlaghghee, so that name makes sense, but Lopsided Cat looks quite symmetrical.
