A very large gray "Feral" cat followed my cats into the house this morning. He climbed up on the kitchen counter and would not budge. I was already at work, and when my wife went near him he hissed, growled, and bared his teeth. He sat up there for about an hour until animal control arrived. Originally they wondered why someone would call about a cat until they actually saw him.
They were able to "lasso" him with their equipment but he put up quite a fight and they were unable to put him into the travel container they brought in. They finally had to just toss him in the back of their truck and slam the gate.
They said he is very angry and has an upper respiratory infection. He will most likely be put down in five days unless claimed.

If you can get him to Yazoo City in good shape I will feed him twice daily so he will keep the other cats out of my yard. I will do this until he meets his eventual feral cat demise by motor vehicle impact.
Seriously, get him to me in good shape and at no cost to me and I will take him. Poor, mean old boy…
I do feel kinda sorry for the guy. He is in the AC hands now. If he hadn't been so mean spirited, I might have considered keeping him myself. Of course, if I had been at home my second choice would have been to shoot him (first choice being to spray him with a water bottle a few times to try to get him out of the house.)
I will probably be sending my bass trombone off to Da Bloke in a few days/weeks/months for some much needed repairs. Perhaps there will be room in the carton to stuff some extra "padding"
I am thinking of becoming female, moving in with my folks and having 14 kids. Don't mind the fact that I'll file for bankruptcy and be foreclosed from a house. It's an exciting new career field. I learned about it during commercial breaks from Judge Judy.

I think you'll be okay once you ink that deal with The Learning Channel. That's why you did it in the first place, right?

I just saw that on CNN, but what interested me more was the follow up story of the giant shoe statue that was put up and subsequently removed within a day in Iraq. I'm glad to see they enjoyed the George W./flying shoe incident as much as I did

Do what I did. Unload it now, before the rush!
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

You have been updated on my annoyances.

You are so uncool! And so am I. Just think how absolutely helpful it is to know this "language." However would one function in the workplace? However could one be considered educated? Maybe we should begin to learn and use it. Being cool would only be a part of the benefits we would receive!
