Having a cat in your house makes your house smell like cats, but having your house smell like cats means that mice will avoid your house like the plague, and having mice avoid your house like the plague means that you don't have mice burrowing through your pantry and eating your food. Also, cats are cuddly and they purr.

I agree with you about baking soda though. That stuff rocks!

Oxy clean will do amazing things for getting wine out of carpet too!

oh lindy west. please be my friend. Why You Should: because we will make such beautiful friendship music together that the clouds will open and rain down perfect tom hardys. one for you and one for me. Why You Shouldn't: why you should overrules why you shouldn't and who cares if i like to spoon my friends while they're sleeping? it's for warmth god dammit! Pro Tip: If you host a dinner party and someone spills red wine on the carpet and then urinates on it, get better friends..LIKE ME!

This week in Lindy West couldn't even get her job done. There's plenty of people who would kill to spend their days in cinemas across the city writing intelligently about what they see and yet The Stranger empowers you, no dare I say they PAY you to not go to films and poorly edit the damn section! WTF!

Then maybe she should get out of the film section join the funny pages. At least there I expect the yucks.

WHY I SHOULD SEE IT: i have a four year old that loves cats... and dogs. especially ones that talk and are MMA champions.

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT SEE IT: you are a movie reviewer for an 'alternative newspaper', you are not trying to entertain a four year old, children's movies do not entertain you, you are biased against talking animal movies (see: L.W.'s 'review' of Marmaduke)

HONEST TO FUCKING GOD! STAY THE FUCK OUT OF CHILDREN'S MOVIES LINDY. so fucking lame are you, that you go to children's movies. the under 10 set does NOT read 'the stranger'. people who read 'the stranger' are not going to 'Cats and Dogs 2' to entertain themselves, but to entertain their wee companions. please stick to reviewing movies with humans, and preferably adult humans.

They make money every time you look at a page. Stop looking and the pages will go away.

We complain not because she reviews (but mind you this isn't a review), we complain because she's in charge of the film section and clearly doesn't give a shit.

protip to persons much like our poster fresh out of high school summer reading list over here,oldmanandthesea

don't read the stranger.
it is no(t fun) for you.
just let it go.
