I currently have 3 indoor cats, and 3 outdoor ferals.Two came with names already (Chewie Cinnamon and Emma from my eldest sister who couldn’t have them in her new place). The one I named is themischievous black cat (Luci) who I named for the demon character inMatt Groening’s DISENCHANTED. Usually I just say strings of words whenmeeting them to see what word they recognize and then elaborate on that(Fee? Fi? Fig? Figaro!) that way they might actually respond to their name.Short names are best, and rarely say the entire name; for instance the cat Luciis short for Lucifer – not a name you want to be calling in a dark night whenthe cat goes wandering off.
“having a bookshelf collapse and kill somebody sounds like a novel idea”Definitely channeling MC Beaton and her Hamish Macbeth character.Although it would be hard to top the carnivorous lobsters or JATO stairchair.Maybe death by fruitcake…
Not true, my doctors and nurses change gloves multiple times duringroutine visits whoever they touch an object like a pen, cabinet, the key to preventing infection transmission at the price of a glove.
Lost it all on vegan cat food speculation?Btw considering how nuts my cat overlords get when they smell bacon,why is there no canned or dried pork cat food? Yet dogs get pig ears.A BLT is a thing of beauty, its like the golden idol Indy grabs in Raiders.
To all the discussion about looking at others:I had a subordinate who kept asking me out. “Are you gay or something?”Nope, I just wanna keep my job and not get sued. A lot of men won’t make a movenowadays because we have too much to lose where the woman can ruin a man’sreputation and future employment. When I had entry level wages ($3.25/hr) back in the1970’s I would ask coworkers on dates; after I hit the middle-class college grad salary,it just wasn’t worth it to date a coworker.
TJ is probably cooking for the homeless/indigent at a shelter or YMCA.He strikes me as the decent one in the strip.Brad is the lovable dope, Luann the annoying little sister like Sally/Peanuts.Bernice is Lucy reincarnated (I’ll hold the football, Charlie Degroot)
When I was married, I would cook the turkey either on the Weber or else350F in the oven with the side dishes. Nowadays, I go for less enormousfare: Thanksgivng will be pork ribs cooked w Hawaiin marinade or Texas BBQ.Less people to feed = less stress.Besides they would always stuff themselves on the appetizers and avoidthe turkey/ham, therefore more sandwiches on the next days.But oh the dressing, the mashed potatoes and gravy…
Here’s a thought: maybe none of the teen/20’s crowd shown want a committed relationship?In my senior year in college it seemed like everyone was searching for aspouse (fear of the great unknown adulthood?) Many of them got married,most of those ended in divorce: who needs that grief? Better to stayunattached and leave room to grow.
The best one I ever got for my sister (and I had gotten her a $200 prop metal
lightsaber the year before) was a button with an angry cartoon cat that read "
