My Black Kitty Kat
 

...sits on top of my modem b/c it's FREE HEAT so that makes her a socialist piglet (catlet).

I'm calling the welfare office on her right now!

I'm sure they'll want to know about this heat-sucking jobless, benefit-getting loafer. :mad: at my :apaw:


eta: oh, yeah. And of course it's the black girl!!

Shameless hussie!

We need tough legislation. At least a lil. Are we gonna?

NO FREE HEAT FOR BLACK CATS!!!

I'll work on a sign we can carry outside the courthouse...



also, I'm going to a 12 step meeting right now and I expect to return brimming with the milk of human kindness in about an hour...but still, no free heat. I WORK for that heat, godddammmit!!

that needed a warning. I'mm'a sue the govt for a new computer now I spit coke all over mine because of the socialist free-loading feline

When that cat wins the lottery, do you think she'll give a DIME back to the system?

No, no she won't.

I'm so angry.

Who is paying for her lottery ticket, that's what I want to know?

There's a secret program, a test program at this point, that distributes money to po' people so they can play the lottery. The thinking is that if they WIN the lottery they'll boost the economy. Those black velvet Elvis paintings aren't buying themselves. If they don't win the lottery they're still boosting the economy by putting that money into the Stop~N~Robs.

Mind you, this is entirely separate from the Tattoo Reallocation Project.

Sorry Bri, but I have to say in this case it is poor parenting.
I know exactly where Diz is when I am on my computer - on my shoulder.
Yes it "restricts" my freedom. Yes it can affect my "social" life. Irregardless of that, at least he gets good human warmth and isn't relying on an "electronic" babysitter.

I sometimes wonder why people bother to have cats when all they seem to do is complain about how there a nuisance or act like they aren't even there. Not being personal of course.

I...I don't know what to say.


I'm hurt.

fixed that for me.

carry on.

I'm a little worried now, V.

Black cat?


She's a WITCH!

I'm trying to figure out how that wasn't a slam...but I'm having trouble.

Please to enlighten, Sundae?

Oh, and thanks V! Nails on a chalkboard:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregardless

it's my Achilles ear, that's all. I knew what you meant, but it hurt me in my brain a little anyhow. It's not you, it's me. and now it's gone.

Cheers!

um, I think Sundae was joking ...on both counts..... she used irregardless deliberately..... she was mocking the people she was impersonating sorta thing?

I think she was being catty.

As per Monster's post.
Thanks - I cringed at having to explain it!
Bri got it.

Joke gone wrong obviously.
Shit - or maybe I do post like that :(

aw, don't feel bad. I wreck jokes all the time. laugh at me instead.

I make lame jokes muchly.
It's just the horror of being thought of as someone who uses "irregardless"!

Then again, I am reliably informed by my friend who I dated when I was a teen, that I used the word literally extensively back in the day. As in "no, honestly". And it's one of my bugbears, especially on reality TV. It literally makes my head explode.

Oh...I didn't get that. Impersonating whom?

That also explains the "there" but for the life of me I don't see the impersonatee in that.

Anyway, it seemed out of character to me, so I thought I'd COME RIGHT OUT AND ask.

Honesty. Don't you hate that shit? If I were y'all, I'd beat the living fuck out of me right now for not getting the 'joke.'

But I don't think I'm the only one (hint hint) you need to beat for not getting the joke. imo.

edit: For example, I would read Bri's comment that she didn't know what to say and that she was hurt, as meaning she didn't know what to say and that she was hurt. Not as "Oh haha you funny fucker!"

Maybe she should have said "Eye donut no wut to sey. I'm hert."

IMO

Oh God I'm not berating anyone for not getting I was making a lame-arse joke.
I was just surprised that V thought irregardless was the only thing that needed correcting about that post. He was obviously being polite and I'm sorry if he feels like a sucker because of it. It was never my intention.

I was imitating people who make comments on media websites, usually about children.
They take a patronising attitude, put random words in quotation marks, use made-up words and make no sense. The only thing they communicate effectively is their own self-importance and condescension.

No, it really wasn't very funny. And it wasn't overt.
I' guess I'm not getting my pilot any day soon :(

ETA when I said I cringed at explaining it, it was because I realised it hadn't worked - not a reflection on other people.

I got it! I even lolled. me me me me. i thought it was very well done. Maybe it's a brit thing. Maybe you should have added


and then you all laughed

or

j/k

for the international audience

Here's a recent photo of my black kitty kat. She's evicted the box used to hold controllers and cables and such to sit on the bottom shelf of the bookshelf (ha, no books, only other more digital media) behind the couch. She's a queen hider.

Maybe if you had added Benny Hill rolling around on the ground among scantily clad big boobed women or said something about "Run AWAY, Run AWAY" we would have remembered to lower our expectations.

j/k!

No harm no foul. I'm glad it was just a joke. I'm glad I asked. Sundae isn't a meanie so I just wondered.

Luvz y'all, even if you aren't funny every single time (but funny MOST of the time...I constantly laffs at your stories!)

Truce?

I poke you in the eye with my olive branch.

Well darlin' that's the most pokin' I've had in a VERY LONG TIME©

:p:

Benny Hill? you had to play the Benny Hill card? that's low, even for you..... poke her in the other eye, Sundae.

:lol2:

Sorry. ;)

lol... that's a memorable visual

Um, thanks.

You'd like that, wouldn't you...to see me with my eye hanging out of its socket, blood dripping, me screaming and writhing in pain.

It'd be MEMORABLE.

:cool:

it's only low if it's undeserved. first rule of comedy: know your audience.

why do I hear a kazoo?

hehehe.... cause I have it on in the background? he cracks me up, what a maroon.
