You're a good person. See you at the banquet. Cats think the only reason the world works is because they spend some of their time supervising it.

I was just thinking about snacks to take on the road with me. And right under snack, in the cranium nervosa, the first hit was "kippered snacks."

Well, I don't eat 'em, so I thought there must be some other significance for that unregistered software warning.

I think it's "kippered."

Kipper.

Kippered snacks.

What is kippered? Is it a noun? But some people say Kipper snacks, which would be the noun, so kippered must be a verb. But then how come it isn't done to other stuff?

Well! It's a noun and a verb!!!

Don't tell Kip it's also a thousand pounds of dead weight.

Oh, and snack, a word I guessed was invented in 1952, is...................an ancient one.

Wow!

So "snack foods" would be ancient too!!!

Cows holy!!!

What a wonderfull world. This is. We live in.

Don't kid yourself, cats can get out of bathtubs. Maybe little kitties can't, but just wait until Tesh and Myers weigh, oh, say ten, twelve, maybe fifteen pounds, and you have to give one of them a bath. Washing a full-grown cat is not a one-person job. It takes two strong, brave people, preferably wearing elbow-length leather or padded gloves, to do it right, one to hold the cat down in the water, the other to wash and rinse. Earplugs are recommended.

>>They walked around the edge and Tesh fell in.<<

Well, gee THERE'S a surprise - cats walking around a tub HAVE TO fall in - it's in their contract. Something about convincing their humans how cute, and lovable, and silly - how damn HUMAN they are.

Then they climb up you to get out and you realize that they really are evil alien life forms; claws taht sharp are not of this world.
