Peter Lorre with Joan Crawford in "Strange Cargo."

Another bit role for Peter, but my god - his lips here - oof. Move over, Joan, you're IN MY WAY.

Lorre's Cat Café: Pig

New customers wonder how such a cute little ball of fuzz could be named Pig. They find out quickly enough.

This little creep has absolutely no regard for personal space, personal time, or personal property. He sticks his face in others' food, and eats out of the garbage. He sits and stares at humans and cats alike, follows them to the toilet or litter box, and watches them poop. Even Gogol is creeped out by him.

Does anyone have an image of Lorre from the movie Strange Cargo where he's staring at Joan Crawford's character through the window. I need it for scientific purposes.

It’s obviously one of those mugs that’s supposed to say “cunt” but with the handle representing the “c” except the text was printed on the wrong side so now it’s just a mug that says “unt” and that’s why it was in the clearance section for $2 and i wouldn’t have it any other way. i love my “unt” mug

Peter Lorre's character actually adds up to an alphabet ...

Maybe the Y box is not rigorous, but Karl's name was stolen by Peter Lorre.We still don't know Peter Lorre of You'll Find out.

For October 4th, something I put together ages ago.

A pool of salt. Warm. World blurry. Not a Lazarus Pit. The author lies face down in a pool of their own tears, buoyed upwards by the kindness of a stranger.

Full disclosure, I read this at 2:30 am when I turned my phone on to grope my way to the bathroom and dismissed this message as a witching hour hallucination. I am honored it is not. Glad I'm eating microwaved can soup cause I'm gonna need all that sodium back.

What if Jill were weraing that weird Shoulderpads thingy, to make himself look more broadshouldered :p

Like it's not part of uniform, because no other character wears that :p

That's... a good point.

Like, I guess it's possible it's just what the female STARS uniform has, but we never see another woman STARS officer (that I know of) besides Rebecca, who's a medic, not a standard officer, and has a different uniform from the others.

It's also like... Not good protection. So I enjoy the idea that Jill picked it out for his uniform specifically so his shoulder would look more masculine, despite it being kind of useless.
