Patent Pending I went to Howie's place after work today to play some Xbox 360 games. I'd never been to his place before. He has two long-haired cats. There were tufts of hairs all over the place. I was horrified.

"You could really use a roomba," I told Howie.

Howie said, "I had another idea. Have you ever seen those machines that take hay and bind them into bales?"

"Baling machines, sure, I've seen them," I said.

Howie said, "Yeah, that's it. I was thinking it would be kinda cool to make a miniature baling machine, one that could make small bales of cat fur."

"A Cat Fur Bailing Machine, interesting idea. But what would you do with the bales of cat fur?" I asked.

"That's the part I haven't figured out," said Howie.

I said, "Maybe there are some other cultures that would want to buy the cat fur from you."

Howie seemed to consider that for a moment, and then asked, "You know of any hairless cultures?"

We both quickly realized that our riveting conversation had run it's course, so we sat on his fur-covered couch and Howie completely demolished me in Burnout: Revenge.

Hissssssss!
