7/16    Sims Pet Stories from EA is out! Alice, a woman who faces financial
        problems and is about to lose her home. So she enters her pet
        Dalmatian into a local dog show to try to earn enough money to save
        her house.

        \_ Why are land-owners frequently portrayed as the villain?
           "The land-owner (who owns a poodle) wants to evict Alice
            for her selfish needs."
           WTF?
           \_ Presumably because the Sims target audience does not usually
              own property.
              \_ So why a poodle? Why not something meaner, like a
                 rottweiler or a pitbull.
           \_ It is pretty hard for a renter to evict someone.
        \_ I don't get it, why was this posted?
           \_ Sims 2 -> game -> geek -> CSUA.
              Therefore, Sims 2 -> CSUA.
           \_ My guess is because of the ridiculous premise. It's about
              pimping out your dog for your own personal gain.
        \_ Her house can't be worth much if a local dog show ribbon is going
           to save it.

10/14   Has anyone raised chickens in an urban environment? My friend's HOA
        in SF is vague enough to allow chickens in his backyard (2 units),
        and we've been doing some reading and talking to people who have done
        this in suburban areas, but was wondering if anyone had any specific
        advice.
