You know, those strips of very oily tar PA communities LOVE to put on every tiny little crack in the road; that make your front tire on a motorcycle dance around like Ann Miller. They’re better than chip-&-seal, or the Jersey version, just dump some piles on the ground every so often. Spread 'em out? What’s that? I _still_ have the scar to prove it, too. :mad: > [@The kaboom mmp](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-kaboom-mmp/790418/262): > > **Draelin** ’s dog is a Winston, too.

Just hike the pants up a bit higher, like the old man you’re supposed to be & no one will notice because there won’t be enough shirt showing. > [@kopek](#): > > My late MILs cure for things like that was amputation. …at the neck. :eek: I was out on a new (to me) trail yesterday. There’s a cat passed out in the shade right by the edge; looked at me but otherwise didn’t move much as I went past. I do a couple of miles, turn around, & he’s still by the edge when I come back. I bend over & “Wspspsp” to it. It gets up, stretches, including a couple of full claws into the dirt stretches, then comes over to me, where I give some skritches. It then proceeds to walk about a foot where it flops over, onto it’s back, right in the middle of the trail. Ummm, I don’t know this cat, it seems friendly, but it doesn’t even have a collar on. I know of people who own cats (some right here) who have the cat decide it’s had enough belly skritches by sinking it’s claws into the skritcher’s hand. I start to walk away but decide that’s rude as I didn’t say goodbye so I turn back to it & call it. It gets up & comes over to me again & once again flops down in the middle of the trail, but this time on its side so I can safely (for me) continue to give it skritches. If I could be assured of getting a dog-cat, that comes when it’s called & likes interaction I’d get one. All the playfulness of a dog & you don’t need to come home early to let it out. However, I’m afraid of ending up with one of those brats that only comes near you when it’s time to be fed. P.S. **Mooommm** , iffn you still have extra yarn, you could do a [yarn bombing](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/06/sports/when-the-tour-de-france-comes-to-town.html). --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/will-this-be-the-mmp/790907)._
