    Best comment: “This is the only acceptable form of Fox News.”

    Who else is singing “I’ve been workin’ on the railroad” now?

    Now I want to go to Ely to meet Dirt! What a character he is! Baby foxes, bobcats, gorillas, and sea lions also make me very happy.

      Me too! Philly to Ely is almost a straight line through Denver. I’ll pick you up on the way, DebG!

    Kind of an aside here…can those shaking machines (didn’t want to call them “vibrators” but I guess I just did) really do anything except give you a headache and upset stomach? I have seen these claims for years and never knew they are a marketing scam or legit method of whatever… melting away fat and building muscle?? 🙄

      I doubt they really do anything for people, but it looks terribly appealing if you’re cat-sized.

        I wonder what the purr sounds like?

      If there’s nothing wrong with you except that you’re fat, using them won’t make you skinny or muscular.

      If you’re not so healthy, they can be useful for a wide variety of conditions. For example, if you’re a recovering cancer patient, it can help drain your lymph nodes and aid in restoring feeling to areas that are numb (because of chemotherapy, diabetes, etc).

      This can make a huge difference to how you physically feel, and to help you get off your bum and actually go out and do some light exercises. It’s by no means a miracle thing, and requires regular use for a while before you notice a difference (much like real exercise).

      The super expensive ones have electric / ultrasound stimulation, and come in the form of a belt you wrap around yourself. These work faster, but you’re not going to find those advertised on those infomercial channels. It’s specialized medical equipment sold to people who have real health issues.

        Oh my goodness thanks for that information
        Kermit. I always wondered how they could have been around so long just based on the “melt fat away” claims. I have had ultrasound treatments at physio which work marvellously but never made the connection before. And I can certainly see how some of the apparatus would be useful for diabetic patients. Thank you.

    In the same vein as our vibrating cat above, we have this video sent by Gigi the cat lady. Caution: You will see things that cannot be unseen.
