A couple of winning cat rescues:

Firefighters in South Carolina came to the rescue of a kitten trapped in the engine compartment of a car.

Look: Cat rescued from junkyard car moments before crushing - UPI.com

A runaway cat taking shelter in a car at a North Carolina junkyard was rescued from the vehicle just moments before it was crushed.

Cats seem to like engines.

From the cat's point of view, you said "My hovercraft is full of eels."

Really, she usually is asking to get under the covers, or telling me she's getting up to go get a drink and a bite to eat. Other times, she's telling me she wants her tasty temptations treats.

I Know right..... silly Australian @John53, just because all the weird animals in Australia have a pocket...he thinks we ALL do

I admit there would be some convenience to it, but nature wisely felt otherwise.

If you can't curse yourself, who can you curse?

How do I curse things. Let me count the ways.

I was going to say "thee", but I don't like the implications that I might do that when I don't wanna.

The thing is what were you saying back to her.

I used to meow at our cats when we had them and get funny reactions. A few times I've barked at our dog and she's like "WHAT?" Trying to speak MY language? What do you mean because it's garbled.

During the 60's, we used to assume the FBI was listening in to our phone calls. So we'd talk about topics to get them excited and then cal them "little man" as a gut poke. Our paranoia was fueled by what we were really doing (nothing that extreme) and the negative side effects of certain substances.

I always assumed anyone listening into my calls would bore rather quickly..

If you were an FBI agent and heard us discussing the revolution and our cell's part in it, I doubt you'd be bored until you realized we were trolling you.

I was never so interesting...

I was never so interesting...

I happened to be one of those our local campus minister would call and ask if a "friend" who was passing through could spend the night. It was understood that the friend was leaving the country either to avoid the draft or because he had gone AWOL from the military but that was totally unspoken and the friend was never asked why he was journeying.

It was also the time when for some reason, my student deferment was erased and I was classified 1A (aka cannon fodder). It turned out that our family lawyer was connected with the draft board and the issue resolved until the draft lottery was instituted and I got a high number which effectively meant I would not be called.

So good there was help for those that needed it...

Those sound like terrifying times.

Good morning. The curse continues but I think I beat it this morning. I went back to sleep for a couple of hours.

This remains the sanest thread on the forum.

It is a bit like telling someone they smell better than @Revoltingest or that they are smarter than @Stonetree . Not a high bar but never the less true.
