Here’s what I learned from this video of a woman who eats cat hair (as featured in the TLC show, My Strange Addiction, returning Feb 13):

1) It’s not Alison Hallett!

2) Cat hair tastes like cotton candy—almost.

3) Her sister Andromeda doesn’t approve of her eating cat hair. And yet, her name is “Andromeda”! WHY SO JUDGE-Y, ANDROMEDA?? YOUR NAME IS ANDROMEDA!!!

4) Never mind #2—cat hair actually has more of a cotton ball taste. Even less of a taste than human hair, which we all know tastes like Salisbury Steak. OMG, I WOULD KILL FOR SOME SALISBURY STEAK RIGHT NOW!

5) The best way to eat cat hair is to lick it right off the cat. Well, of course it is, and… ALISON! Stop licking your cat!!!

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  1. YOU SHOULD HOLD A BLOGTOWN CONTEST FOR COMMENTERS TO COME UP WITH STRANGE ADDICTIONS YOU CAN MAKE ERIK FAKE TO GET ON THAT SHOW. IT’LL BE LIKE “WORST NIGHT EVER,” EXCEPT ON NATIONAL TELEVISION.

  3. I think she *really* wants something else that’s warm and hairy, but that no one will let her lick. (I’ll spell it: p…a…n…d…a.)
