8369 - Behold, the Magnificent MAN-BEAR!

[scottobear]

Ran out of steam yesterday...worked late, and it sort of trimmed an hour and a half off my evening schedule... tucked in at about eleven, and though I was tied, it felt like it was only about 9:30.

---

Midweek. Next week, I have Monday off from the office, but will have to take call all day. Mixed blessing.

---

Contemplating good books to read aloud to another. The Hobbit is a good one, but recently read.

Reminds me of a quote... There are worse crimes than burning books - One of which is not reading them.

that's the littlest bit of bunnypoo ever!! :D

Re: and no replies!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

I know its almost cute itself---if poo could be could cute.

Re: and no replies!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

sure, poop can be cute! :D

Re: and no replies!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

No no it can't. You haven't seen the Pye litterbox yet--poo is almsot always horrfying---at least to the one changing the litterbox and trying to keep a cavorting cat out of it.

Re: and no replies!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Newt's poo isn't so scary, now that he doesn't have kitten-milk-formula stinkypoops. Fortunatley, Newt will (usually) wait for me to finish the scooping for him to refresh the box.

It reminds me of when I was in Philly. I fell in love. In Rittenhouse square they had a flower show with flower vendors, artists and food. the Animal welfare league had brought some kittens, cats and dogs to try and adopt out. There were 2 brothers in a cage. One black very docile and a black and white one wild as wild can be. The docile little black one sat on a bed made from a grocery store meat tray and the black and white one proceeded to pull it out from under him. When the black and white one got bored with that he reached into the next cage and whalloped a marmalade on the nose. As he cavorted and bounced I noticed he had poo stuck to his haunch. I mentioned to the volunteer at the booth how he had poo stuck to him and it seemed to be indicative of his mischief character and she rolled her eyes and tried to get me to adopt him. If I could've gotten calm enough to take him on Amtrak hidden in my luggage Pye would've had a brother.

oh noooo... baby kitties are so addictive! I am powerless to resist such frolicksome babies!!

plus... you do so well... mommy is as mischievous as her kids, I think!

Re: and no replies!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Yes I am a tiny tiny tiny bit mischievous I suppose. I don't usually get upset at the product of mischief either--I usually laugh---even when it is my Amish doll who has been scalped by sharp little teef and left laying on the floor like a homicide victim, or my new book that has edges chewed or even my new throw rug that has been lovingly customized by repeated clawing. Nope I'm usually able to laugh all this off and pronounce the mischief maker the cutest little destructive force ever!

Re: and no replies!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Newton is guilty of magazine/newspaper shredding, too!

you'r right of course... no matter how much a devil, they're too loved to get too mad at!

Re: and no replies!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Pye can't be bothered with newspapers and magazines he goes for the big ticket items. I swear if I could ever train him to focus his efforts he'd be a wonderful trained assassin.

Re: and no replies!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

adorable death from above!

I think he'd be awesome on a little black drop-tow line like tom cruise in MI

Re: and no replies!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Sad to say I've not seen MI (or maybe I'm not sad--I can't seem to give up 2 hours of my life for something that doesn' tlook thrilling to me)

But yes he is a stealth attacker---his favorite past-time is jumping from a height driectly onto my chest in the middle of the night thus knocking the wind outta me. I've learned to sleep on my stomach with the black witchcat around.

Re: and no replies!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I'd invest in a hidden tumy trampoline to give pye a little extra bounceaway!

that'll teach mr sneaky mc-leaps-a-lot!

I played with kittens again last night. They just make you laugh.

Re: and no replies!

lucky! kittens are uberfun!

I have a soft spot fot the runt, Fatboy Slim...So sweet and clumsy, just gnawing on my flip flop and tripping and rolling with his brother and sister.

Re: and no replies!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

aww.. I love him and never even met him!

Re: and no replies!

[weezeroni.livejournal.com]

You would melt into a big puddle of man mush. I kept snagging them as they ran by, kissing them on top of their little heads and sniffing them.

Vicious, self contradicting and incoherent rant on poop and the dangers of idle conversation

Re: and no replies!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

confusing comment not related to what was previously said.

Re: and no replies!

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

A rambling self-deprecating anecdote involving a trilobite and a radiator, tangenttly related to something said early in the thread.

Re: and no replies!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

statement about how you always drag the trilobite story into this sort of thing and refers back to obscure comic book character/ historically significant factoid, with picture.

Re: and no replies!

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

Weak attempt to defect the ad-nauseum repetition of trilobite story.
Points out how your wild Tahitian gorilla on a snow plow story gets a lot of air play.
Attempts to prove there are no wild Tahitian gorilla in attempt to cast doubt on your story.
All that’s brought forth is some obscure comment from a supposed lost and never aired episode of Gilligan’s island.

Re: and no replies!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Quick lookup on google of facts to support my argument, or images that seem to do so, even though they're not remotely related.

rehash of gilligan incidental music and "gilligan, you can't fly" I'can't? "No!" 'Oh!'

Re: and no replies!

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

Strangely maudlin post on how the castaways never respected Gilligan, just as the post seems to working around to a making a point it cuts of mid-sentence.

Re: and no replies!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

vaguely agreeing post, and a light commnt of about the proir's truncation

Re: and no replies!

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

Returns with a completely off topic rant on how the quaking duck episode of Mythbusters was rigged.
Makes groundless accusations blaming Shell Silverstein poetry.
Types random Latin phrase in an apparent attempt to give his statements some weight.

Calls in reinforcements from other journals to verbally sedate and becalm, nd posts a picture of the hoff and some puppies.

remarks on your icon's relevence ot the post.

Re: and no replies!

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

Makes feigned fearful noises at Hoff pic.
Coments on the puppies and ends up comparing and contrasting the merits of Ace the Bat Hound, Krypto the Super Dog and Streaky the Super Cat as means of covering ones privates, pointedly leaves that Super Horse out of the comparison.
Makes noises about posting a poll.

Re: and no replies!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

HEY! Um I DO this! :P

Re: and no replies!

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

heh, so do I.
The summery thing was kinda fun, it appealed to the lazy slob in me as it’s easier than typing an actual post

Re: and no replies!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

I KNOW duck's quacks can echo I hear the f-ers echo alllll night against our bank of town houses. I've not seen that episode so I don't know if they busted it or not but it SHOULD be busted!

Re: and no replies!

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

It was busted, though analyzing the sound they found that it had very similar wave patterns to an echo, so at times it may be able to distinguish between the echo and the real thing, which possibly is the source of the myth.

Re: and no replies!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Ah the things you can learn from a duck. I have also witnessed stag male ducks mating with each other when there are not enough females around in our neighborhood. We have a pair that have been together for a while that I named Walt and Wilde. One of these days I'm gonna make an all make duck porn and send it to Pat Robertson.

Re: and no replies!

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, one of the Spanish slang words for a homosexual is Pato, which means duck. I have always wondered why Duck?
Might have something to do with it?
You know you may have stumbled into the next fetish cash cow with that duck porn thing.

While huey, duey, are oviously stait I've always wondered about Luey ;)

Re: and no replies!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

you know what.. I've heard the term "queer duck" quite a bit too, but usually meant to refer to the strange, not the homosexual

Re: and no replies!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

ducks are pretty horny beasts..I've seen one try to mate with a nearby turtle.

Random threat of electrified torture to various nether regions followed by mitigating emoticon.

Re: and no replies!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

meek yikes-type statement, and deflection of nether-danger by talking about kitties.

Re: and no replies!

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

Wild and over-reactionary indignation at your threat. Slew of pompous, self righteous remarks, half way through breaks down into wordy apology, makes numerous dubious sounding citations about childhood clown traumas.
