Taomeow Posted August 2, 2019 Took a picture of my fruit bowl this morning. You may notice that it is presently occupied by my cat Haomao. I've plenty of space that might seem far more appropriate and convenient for him to claim. But this is what happens every time I run out of fruits and nuts. This morning I was watching him impersonate fruits and nuts like the rest of us do but even more explicitly, and decided that this picture might be a good way to inform the rest of the fruits and nuts that the cat is now officially out of the bag. And unless this place goes once again from "too fucked up for me" to "too fucked up for me" in a smooth succession (may it not come to pass), I'm back.

Once a police detective, always a police detective! Yes, to break out the screen and fall down riding it like Major Kong straddling the nuclear bomb in Stanley Kubrick's Doctor Strangelove -- that's the cat's way, and that's exactly how it happened. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manitou Posted August 2, 2019 Funny you should mention Dr. Strangelove. I was just thinking about that same scene the other day. I may have been watching the news at the time, I'm not sure... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silent thunder Posted August 2, 2019 LMAO! Cats for the win! I finally cut the bottom corner of our screen door, 7 inches across and up, creating a flap for ours to walk in and out at their discretion; otherwise Rama, our Maine Coon sits there, maowing tirelessly, letting us know he has been denied the choice of in or out. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manitou Posted August 2, 2019 LMAO for the drunk husband!!! Back in Ohio, in the winter, my 'practicing' alcoholic husband crawled in through the doggie door and passed out on my kitchen floor. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't sure which smiley to choose... we need a sad/funny one, like the Greek tragedy-comedy masks. I've seen drunk people in all kinds of intricate positions where I come from -- in an apartment building where I lived, a neighbor was once trying to make his way to his apartment crawling upstairs -- legs first. Took him a while... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Earl Grey Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Glad you're back and many of the people who pushed you out are gone. I prefer four quarters over a hundred pennies, or rather a few good quality people instead of a party full of mediocrity. PS: I left for a while too because they did the same thing to me.

liminal_luke Posted August 3, 2019 At first I thought the cat would come out of the bag in a few days. Wrong! Then I thought the cat would never come out of the bag. Wrong again! Life continually surprises. So good to have you back! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
