Well, I’ve been told I have a nice gentle goose, just a quick squeeze of the ass cheek, firm enough to come off as aggressive but not enough to hurt… I mean, um, nevermind. 😃 ---

Rotfl … so, while we’re not on the topic, when the 2 inch wide trail of ants is making a frenetic straight line dash for the spilled drop of honey on the counter, … would that constitute ants making a Bee line for the honey? ---

Oops, **Krisfer the Cat** , I may have goose-stepped out of line. Are you completely opposed to a goose by another goose, or do you prefer your gooses to come only from ganders? ---

Whew! Thanks, **Krisfer the Cat**. I didn’t want to be embarrassed by a foie gras, like **Satisfying Andy Licious** was earlier, when he mistook me for a gander. Ganders are my favorite, but I couldn’t help but notice your talent at shaking a tail feather.
