Suck UK's joint managing director,

*snork* at CJ.
A cat can now be in a dogfight.
Posted by: Brainy Jello | August 20, 2008 at 05:24 PM
Gah -- DOGS! That was supposed to say, "French DOGS immediately surrendered". Damn ringing phone rushed me into a brain fart.
CJ: Chinese Happy Meals? BWWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

In other kitty-related news, the spaghetti-eating cat photo has been explained by Fox.
Watch the clip from "The Soup" and then check out "the FOX spokesperson's response". We report, you deride...

We have a kitten at our house who likes to hide behind the door so she can jump out and grab your ankles as you go by....
We feel she must have had some Ninja training.
It's best to act surprised and terrified, even if you see her peeking around the corner. Wouldn't want to give her a complex...

clark, dress the dog as a pirate.
Posted by: CJrun | August 20, 2008 at 05:45 PM
Clark, if you live in California you might want to try out for "Housecat Housecall". This is a show that airs Saturday at 9 AM (repeated Sunday at 7 AM) on Animal Planet. A very pretty vet comes to your home and helps you out if your cat likes to join you in the shower (the cartoon kitty in the opening credits is delightful), sneak food off the table or claw your sofa. Upload a vid of your little attack kitty on their website and you could be next...

Some where Samual L Jackson is on the phone with his agent.
Posted by: Recovering 24 Addict | August 20, 2008 at 05:51 PM
It's really not a problem, though.... She doesn't use her claws.
She just sort of hugs your ankle and hangs on. Not sure the appeal for her....
I like the pirate idea, though.
Posted by: clark Kent | August 20, 2008 at 05:52 PM
Why not just get her her own leg?
Posted by: Steve Haller | August 20, 2008 at 05:56 PM
Hey, that's a good idea!
I know a guy at the mall who has an artificial leg too. Now I just have to think of a way to distract him long enough....
Posted by: clark Kent | August 20, 2008 at 06:03 PM
clark - a mineral oil spill in front of him might do it.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 20, 2008 at 07:01 PM
And tomorrow, the cat in the tank will invade Soviet Georgia, all the while singing "tanks, for the memories...."
Posted by: PirateBoy | August 20, 2008 at 07:06 PM
I'm thinkin' I'll stick with Steve Martin's cat handcuffs. I don't trust 'em.

Just hand over the tuna, and nobody gets hurt.

KEY QUOTE: "these are just about the most fun cardboard boxes you will find"
As a guy, I can say, with NO reservations, that this quote evokes some visuals that I am going to end up taking to my grave... Please, Lord, May the grave come early!!! TAKE ME NOW!!!!

Exciting 12 hour old Olympics coverage beginning soon.
Women's Beach Volleyball
bathing suitswho will win?!Mens 200m, will it be Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps?!
Extreme BM - I don't think I want to watch that....
Posted by: CJrun | August 20, 2008 at 08:06 PM
I'm getting a stealth bomber one for my sneaky kitty.
Posted by: Siouxie | August 20, 2008 at 08:08 PM
Sio, did you mean to post that back on the Thigh-Master thread?
Posted by: CJrun | August 20, 2008 at 08:17 PM
CJ,
I got one up on you! I got Michael Phelps on my fantasy football league!!! (I'm not SURE why I drafted him... it just seemed right!)
Posted by: frodolives | August 20, 2008 at 08:23 PM
(P.S., I don't even know if Michael Phelps can convert meters to yards, IYKWIM, AITYD)...
Posted by: frodolives | August 20, 2008 at 08:26 PM
A cardboard box that costs 15lbs&tradethingy. May I sell you an expurgated hairball to go with?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 20, 2008 at 08:27 PM
Steve, thanks for the Spaghetti-Eating Kitty, which I had somehow missed. I did catch a little of that Mike & Juliet show while stuck in a doctor's office one morning and it was surreally awful, so I'd believe someone did it as a joke.
Pretty funny.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | August 20, 2008 at 08:34 PM
Annie is making her play for her own stall at the Silk Market.
Speaking of Michael Phelps, I'm wiping a tear from my eye. I LOVE this guy!
Flabby-butts that think they can sit around and eat Wheaties bore me. This guy says, "eat what you like and get off your @ss!"
Posted by: CJrun | August 20, 2008 at 08:37 PM
Cardboard box: £ 15.00
Jar of vaseline: 3.95
WhatEVER: PRICELESS!!
Posted by: frodolives | August 20, 2008 at 08:43 PM
OK, Olympics coverage that's 12 hours old, already, and there have been 40 minutes of Gals Platform Diving, qualifications round. NBC has completely won me over. Maybe, next will be 2 hours of Extreme BM, because some people may not have ESPN 2, 3, 4, etc.
I always go straight to the Olympics if I want to watch kids on banana-seat bikes take jumps. Maybe they'll go around in a circle! Maybe they'll go up in the air off a bump! Tune in now!
Posted by: CJrun | August 20, 2008 at 08:43 PM
Good story, CJ. Perhaps instead of going to Dizneyland, he'll opt for here instead.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 20, 2008 at 08:44 PM
*TOTAL SNORKS* at Annie!!! I'm going to "dictionary.com" to see if "expurgated" is ACTUALLY a word! (Siouxie asked me to make sure...)
Posted by: frodolives | August 20, 2008 at 08:49 PM
Can you imagine what would happen if Ozzy Osbourne went on Mike and Juliet? That poor cat would be bouncing around like a ping pong ball...
Posted by: Steve Haller | August 20, 2008 at 08:52 PM
Just google the word, frodo. Google will point to this page, and that will prove it's legit. Circular logic at its best.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 20, 2008 at 08:52 PM
and by the way Frosted Flakes isn't half bad if you add enough sugar...
Posted by: Steve Haller | August 20, 2008 at 08:56 PM
Hah! The Cuban hurdler is wearing a giant gold cross!
Posted by: CJrun | August 20, 2008 at 09:02 PM
Wouldn't that catch on the hurdles?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 20, 2008 at 09:21 PM
"Expurgate":
1. to amend by removing words, passages, etc., deemed offensive or objectionable: Most children read an expurgated version of Grimms' fairy tales.
2. to purge or cleanse of moral offensiveness.
Thanks, bud, for teaching me a new word!
Shoot, now ya' got me gunning to teach YOU new words, but since you are a writer, I probably can't, and as much as I love the English language, you may as well borrow Siouxie's machete to (hopefully just teach me lessons in humility..., but I know her machete...)!

*sticks GIANT pin in AWBH voodoo doll*
Don't mess with me when they finally start showing actual Olympics, Track and Field!!
Posted by: CJrun | August 20, 2008 at 09:32 PM
You call that a pin? You wouldn't last a minute west of the Mississippi.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 20, 2008 at 09:41 PM
Expurgate is a new word for the ESL folks.
I'm disgusted by the Usain Bolt film; little boy mugging for the camera stuff, not one single race film for us to watch. Go NBC!
*presses 'Barbs' button on Pin remote, adds Bob Costas doll*
Posted by: CJrun | August 20, 2008 at 09:54 PM
I already know Bolt will run a 19.30, but I hate his sorry @ss. What a jerk.
Posted by: CJrun | August 20, 2008 at 09:59 PM
Good Lord, that man is untouchable! For a jerk....
Posted by: CJrun | August 20, 2008 at 10:01 PM
I used to be able to get past all that pomp and circus-dance the networks do and actually enjoy the Olympics. No mas. First you have commercials. Then you have the blathering Costas contingent. Eventually there's a bit of sport. By then I'm channel-surfing.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 20, 2008 at 10:02 PM
Well, it's official, Carl Lewis is no longer the biggest jerk in the history of Track and Field. Bolt is stunning, but a lousy person that wastes his breath saying so.
His value as a promoter for athletic equipment will be very limited. Yeah, everybody has a closet full of McEnroe tennis gear (not).
Bolt was so far beyond the best in the world, pulling away, he may even take the 400, after the 100 and 200.
Posted by: CJrun | August 20, 2008 at 10:09 PM
*zaps in for a sec*
Annie, I THUNK it was pomp and circumcise all this time.
*btw..I am completely hooked on the Olympics...Costas and all!*
*zaps out*
Posted by: Siouxie | August 20, 2008 at 10:12 PM
*snork* @ Siouxie's concise 'circumcision.'
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 20, 2008 at 10:23 PM
The real reason I never broke 2 minutes in the 800m. Gawd I love Skeeter's Big Biscuits! (Back then, I got well over 200, now I'm below 190)
Just sent to me by a college buddy and timing is everything. Honest truth, I shattered my ankle on the way to a late night breakfast and my roommate at UF pushed me home in a shopping cart. It hurt, but the honest truth is that running has nothing to do with sidewalks, or rubber tracks. I hated track at UF, and in High School. Running should be running.
Posted by: CJrun | August 20, 2008 at 10:55 PM
agree wit CJ... Bolt is incredible, but what a jerk, eh?
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 20, 2008 at 11:11 PM
Tie game, Gals In Bathing Suits!
Posted by: CJrun | August 20, 2008 at 11:14 PM
Apparently, there is more than one game.
US Bathing suits win first game!
*takes off socks*
Posted by: CJrun | August 20, 2008 at 11:23 PM
just. four. more. points.
Posted by: Siouxie | August 20, 2008 at 11:38 PM
The Chinese team isn't drinking water.
Posted by: CJrun | August 20, 2008 at 11:39 PM
I think they're bots. one. more. point.
Posted by: Siouxie | August 20, 2008 at 11:44 PM
YESSSSSSSSss!!! WOOO HOOO!! WTG ladies!
Posted by: Siouxie | August 20, 2008 at 11:44 PM
Bathing Suits! Bathing Suits! Errr, USA!
Posted by: CJrun | August 20, 2008 at 11:44 PM
Over to you, Middle America and West Coast!
My East Coast butt needs rest after wriggling all over during those games.
Posted by: CJrun | August 20, 2008 at 11:54 PM
Same here. Long drive tomorrow. Hasta!
Posted by: Siouxie | August 20, 2008 at 11:55 PM
bikinis in the rain. how could it get better?
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 21, 2008 at 12:02 AM
Yay, Kerry Walsh and Misty May! You GO, girls! Gold!!!
THAT's how it can get better, Wyo.
Posted by: Suzy Q | August 21, 2008 at 12:04 AM
Looks like California's taking home another gold. WTG - May/Walsh!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 21, 2008 at 12:07 AM
I thought Bolt was an arrogantass his very first race. Jerk. Too bad the rest of us don't admire him as much as he does himself.
Posted by: baligurl | August 21, 2008 at 12:46 AM
That's probably where he learned to run so well. If you're gonna be an ass, better be quick about getting away.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 21, 2008 at 01:14 AM
*channels Craaaaaig Ferguson* "weeel, he's screwed, then." then goes home.
