Arizona Hot:
Where can you get a new skull? SpoilerThe scullery.
scullery skú-lu-ree
Usage: Brit
1. A small room (in large old British houses) next to the kitchen; where kitchen utensils are cleaned and kept and other rough household jobs are done
Can you skulk without a skull?
Who was smarter? Mulder or Scully?
crabby3:
I have added a ringed image below the invisible cat picture above, so that you can spot the tabby cat there.
The image of the cat is not the clearest, but it is more easily seen with a magnifying glass (as opposed to digitally enlarging it). Sharpening it also helps, but that also distorts some of the image.
@crabby3: You must have copied and saved the image, resulting in some lossiness, so you can barely discern the cat in the lossy image.

:-[ = me if you are serious.
Truthfully i couldn't find the feline at first... but found her during my edit of your pic. Please compare your pic to mine. There is no cat in mine.
But there is an added grave marker, a pile of dirt and rocks hiding the tabby. :)
p.s. if persons cannot find a creature in my grey-branches 'more great camo' pic... i really don't give a hoot. ;D

The next time you need to point out or be a grammar Nazi...

Yes, perception and political correctness. I think you could try to define these things as being "patterns of behaviour", but I'm not sure that psychologists would necessarily be able to agree with that without at least some better definition. The problem is that, in usage, such terms often seem to be merely clichéd ad hominem attacks - simplistic and pejorative labels which appear to be intended to force other people to maintain the labeller's paradigm or cognitive bias - i.e., it becomes mandatory that the thing being labelled be perceived in that light. If one does not perceive the thing in the "correct" light, then one is punished by the pejorative label being applied to oneself, either directly or by implication - e.g., "If you can't see that that is a racist thing to do/say, then you must be a racist also" (which is a non-sequitur). This would seem to be irrational.

The psychologists are right to object to things as vague as "patterns of behavior". That's a slightly aggressively creepy way for putting a negative slant on anything that isn't "crazier than a nutcase loon playing a chaotic random D&D character in real life"!
:tellme:
I'll try to add a new angle: political correctness especially pays overt attention to the differences between denotation and connotation, and also creates "excluded middle" fallacies. So you don't have to see things in the PC label's context, but it then forces you to then use it as the "anti" opposite.

Crap, I can really respond to this properly without going radically outside the intent on the thread. Perhaps it would be better (easier/safer/more appropriate) if this tangent was moved to the basement.
