Resolved Question: My cat refuses to go in three different pet carriers. Are there any pet carrier services out there?

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009
Hello, As much as I try, my 3-year-old cat refuses to be put in pet carriers I own. I tried putting her in a plastic pet cab, a zip-up bag and a paper crate. She needs to go to the vet since she's constantly sneezing and periodically coughing. Each time I am about to put her in I leave treats by the carriers and cushion the bottoms. Are there any places that come to people's homes to put cats in a carrier? I live in Brooklyn, NY, and if anyone can help me out that would be great. Thanks, Matthew

Open Question: How Chris Brown’s story begins in my Video Game?

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009
(It’s a normal day in downtown San Jose. Chris Brown is walking back to his apartment carrying a bag of groceries when he stops to think.) CHRIS: Gee, I’m bored. Every day’s the same old thing. Same place. Different day. I miss the good old days; hanging out with my hero, Music. (sigh) (remembers a time when Music rescued him) Chasing gay guys… and blowing them away. (back to reality) But now he’s gone, and there’s nothing left to do, but shop ‘till I drop. There was always something fun to do with Music around. I really miss him. (the sky darkens all of a sudden) Hey! What’s going on here? Is there an eclipse today or what? Nobody forecasted a storm or anything. (Chris turns and is awed to see the Gay Carrier covering the sky over the city) CHRIS: Gayman. Could it be? (he sees something) What’s that? (a small bird falls from the sky and hits Chris in the head) Ahhh! Watch it! Watch it! Ow! You should watch where you’re going, buddy! (he sees the bird unconscious) Hey… are you alright? You look kinda hurt. (Chris hears a crash and turns to see a robot) CHRIS: What’s this? (the robot chases after him) Uh oh! Yikes! You almost ran me over, creep! Oh no! Let’s get out of here! (He hides inside of a restaurant. The robot looks inside the window, but doesn’t find him, so it leaves.) CHRIS: (talking to the bird) That was one of Gayman’s gaybots, huh? He must have captured you and somehow you got away, right? Don’t worry, I’ll protect you. (they exit the restaurant) I’ll do my best to keep us both from harm. I’ll stand by you all the way! (Chris sees Music walking) MUSIC: Oh, Music. (sigh) My hero. (follows Music) Music! Long time no see! (Music is very surprised to see Chris) MUSIC: (takes a few steps back) Chris Brown? CHRIS: What’s your problem? See this little birdy’s got in trouble. I think you should be its body guard a little while. MUSIC: You must be kidding! CHRIS: Doesn’t matter. We’ll just tag along anyway. MUSIC: No way! (runs away) CHRIS: (chases after him) Come on! Don’t run away! Ohhhhh! (Chris Brown is running and finds Music at the Great America theme park entrance) CHRIS: Wait up, Music! No fair! I can’t run as fast as you! (The gaybot that was chasing Chris returns) CHRIS: Ah! Look! Gayman’s gaybot’s on the loose! MUSIC: Don’t panic! I’ll handle that bag of bolts! He’s just a cheesy chunk of fruity hardware! CHRIS: Ahhhhh! MUSIC: Now what’s wrong? Huh? CHRIS: (reading the sign in front of the Great America entrance) Look! It says, “Cute couples can get in free.” What’re we waiting for (Chris Brown is just leaving Great America) CHRIS: Who! I’m glad we finally lost that gaybot. Music must’ve gotten lost too. (The gaybot that was after Chris finds him) Ahh! (it catches him) Hey! Watch it, bolt brain! Let us down! Let us go! (The gaybot follows the Light Rail tracks towards Morgan Hill) (Music is in San Jose under the Light Rail tracks) MUSIC: Chris? Oh man. Where can he be? CHRIS: (voice from a distance) Ahh! Music! Help! (Music turns around and sees the gaybot taking Chris towards Morgan Hill) MUSIC: I’ll cut him off at the South County Hills. (Gayman’s gaybot has carried Chris Brown and the birdie all the way to the South County Hills) CHRIS: Let me go, you hunk of junk! I mean it! MUSIC: Hey there, bolt brain! You better give Chris to me or I’ll squash ya! (Music finds Chris and the gaybot, the sky suddenly darkens) Hey. What’s happening here? (The Gay Carrier appears and beams up Chris and the gaybot) MUSIC: Stop! CHRIS: Music, help me! MUSIC: Shoot!

The British Retail Consortium (BRC) is challenging local authorities to make positive moves to encourage recycling, rather than looking for ways to pile new costs onto hard-pressed customers and retailers.
