Cats are on topic, but boring SPAM and change are off topic. Grrrr...

It isn't SPAM, it's the almost-always-amusing "ICanHazCheezburger" site!
Hardly boring. And, if change is off topic, why do you "bless us"
with the posts about the coins going into the piggy bank?

On the "cats are always on topic" topic. I'm not really arguing.
I'm totally allergic to cats, so I'm not going to be cheering for them.
On the topic of change... I've not done it much for a very long time.
I got complaints. I quit. Now I complain about cat posts. :-)

Cats are on-topic. Physics jokes are on-topic, probably. I love "I can
haz cheezburger,"

Do you think _cats_ made you allergic? What an illogical position to
take.

SOMEBODY puts out the cat dander that rubs my lungs the wrong way.
If not cats, then who?

I'm not arguing that website gives me allergy attacks, just that the
beasts on it are less welcome in this home than SPAM.

(Looks across the room at my pet can of Smoke Flavored SPAM to the
left of the pink piggy bank. Both of them are sitting on Justice for
All, a book from EarthJustice that was printed by Chelsea Green.)
