Wimp. Still, the best news I’ve seen today.

From my wide experience in the world, this is in fact the case.

Yeah, for a warrior who has 11 generations of Teutonic warriors in his blood…actually, running and going back to where he’s got plenty of peers and a fortress is about right for that heritage, ain’t it?

You assholes, the smartest cat I ever had was black. On the other hand, he was my brother’s cat and his name was “Rover”, so his existence proves that little brothers are all stupid.

Well, the stupidest cat I’ve ever seen in my life **was** my black cat Irving. Irving was so stupid, she was walking across a carpet, snagged her claws, fell over, and just… this is embarrassing to report… she just laid there. She didn’t cry or peep, just… laid there. I think she may have even fallen asleep.

She lived 18 years of utter stupidity.

For me it was Panama City, on the Pacific side. Those bar stools are pretty dangerous after a few drinks - it’s a long way down (I used to hang out at the Ancon Inn) 😃

I know one thing, Panama had the best fishing in the WORLD.

More proof that if there is reincarnation, I’m coming back as a cat and living the life of Riley.

Since the OP has gone back to the primordial ooze from whence he came, should we close the thread or do a few more people want to get in their parting shots?

The brown tabby opens doors if there’s even the slightest chance they didn’t latch completely, and he can open the one with the lever-style knob even then. The orange tabby closes doors for the hell of it, gleefully.

The black tuxedo sits in front of the ajar bathroom door which he could open, if he knew how, just by walking, you know, into it. He sticks his paws under the door and waggles them around, and he whines piteously. But he can’t open it. He’s amazingly stupid.

Kitty would _love_ a free chicken bone, actually.

He or she has probably gone back to where he/she usually posts from and now risks being uncovered as a sock.

It just goes to show you that outside of their own little comfy world of like-minded drones, the racists can’t handle some wee taunts. Poor, poor baby racist.  
You know the sad thing is about that kid who was hit by the snowballs from the catapult? He was probably coming over, hoping they’d ask him to play. People sicken me.

Heh. I’m betting he’s lurking around, seeing if any of the unknown people that PM’d him :rolleyes: that they agree with him will step up.

Why insult primordial ooze?

You think that part was for real? I thought it was pretty odd that guy who served in the army… a super-soldier nonetheless, would get his feelings hurt by a few snide comments. And even odder he would bitch about it publicly. :dubious:

I dunno, from the sampling of my friends’ various fosters and “wound up stayings,” white cats with “odd” (one blue, one green) eyes would certainly rank right up there.

Dude, 98% of the internet is populated by ex-Marine special forces supersoldier combat veterans.

From what I’ve seen, the other 2% are transsexual porn stars…

I must be falling through the cracks then. ☹ I’m neither an ex-Marine NOR a transexual porn star…

I DID sleep at a Holiday Inn the other night, though…does that count??
