No, which page was it on? I'll go back and look...

[Alleine]

The holidays are over. Everyone's back a work or study...

Ah, my old curse come back to haunt me. Too much free time.
It is such a terrible burden to bear!

Did you watch Men at Work? Next we could try, Dead or Alive You spin me right round baby...

[Coidzor]

Let's see, none personally, but through my family we have...

the three cats from where I grew up that we took with us when we moved (we'd had more but had to find homes for them with the distance we had to travel and could really only take the three), the four cats that have followed my dad home while he has been walking the dog, hmm... the five cats remaining from the eleven from the two litters that happened due to my dad getting sick and distracting from two spayings that were needed.

3+4+5 = 7+5 = 12

So right now it's looking like 12. I think the highest number of cats I've had has been the about 18 after the kittens were born and before we could get them spayed and adopted out.

Cats. Several of them... Most of them are nice. Some of them kill me others kill each other. x.x

Edit: This is incredibly horrifying.

The 80's were interesting times...
Hey, I've heard this song before!
I just realized I'm getting an education in 80's pop music
Now if only I could get credits for this course...

I was thinking of this one:

Need to think of more 80s music for Alleine. Oh, I know...Culture Club - Karma Chameleon.

And here are some recent (about an hour ago) piccies of a selection of my cat population:

The brown tabby at the back is Tigger, the huge orange one is Marmalade, then you can see Xiao Qiao hiding behind Pinstripe (he's the one who moved his head and blurred the photo), Santana is the fluffy white one at the bottom, the black one curled up on bottom left is Mamacat, then above her is another orange one - Cinnamon, and two white ones, on the left is Rupert, and the right (facing the camera) is BaoBao.

Not pictured - quite a few of them.
Yep. I iz crazee laydee.

[Coidzor]

On the subject of Rawhide's picture and abilities, I can only say "Indeed."

Funnily enough, my mom doesn't really care for the cats as much as the rest of us. I like 'em okay though. but their numbers get to me. Especially due to everyone in the family being allergic. HAHA!

[turkishproverb]

I'm beginning to think that this entire forum is a little mad.

That was an amazingly... soothing song.

dish is a cool crazy cat lady.

EDIT: @^ Just beginning? A little? My dear man, I do believe you have just scratched the surface. And what took you so long?

Umm, permission to sig? That quote is just too good to waste.
I'm afraid I have to work now, so I'll be gone for six or so hours. Maybe other oldies can find you some more 80s pop.

[Coidzor]

I'd sample it, you can probably bet on that.

Hmm... Sometimes I'm delightfully, whimsically mad. Othertimes I'm just annoyed that I am conscious of the gulf between human souls. Or think that I am conscious of it, at least. Most of the people on this forum do seem to be a bit loosened up and boisterous for the most part in a good way.

Permission granted! By all means.
And thanks for showing me those songs, it was delightful.

EDIT: Alas, I must take my leave of you fine people for it is tomorrow already, and I have plans for tomorrow that I need to be rested for.
May the madness of the playground guide you

Can only agree there, there are time that I am creased with laughter catching up on the topic of a thread.

I think of the playground as a basket of squirming puppies being boisterous.

As for 80s music:

try anything by The Cure (friday I'm in love) or Inspiral Carpets (i particularly recommend Saturn Five and Two Worlds Collide)

While I may not be able to bet you all in sheer volume of cats, overall pets I probably can since I have:

-10 dogs
-6 cats
-2 turkeys (live in our barn)
-1 ferret
-1 rabbit
-1 iguana

Egad! Its 7 degrees (F) here.

My aunt was a costume designer and maker for that band for two years!

In other news:
Koorly plans to do a segment of Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog for her spoken language coursework. What would you suggest you compare/contrast it with.
They have to be in the same sort of field, so it could be 'Spoken Language in Parodies' or 'Spoken Language in Supervillain Films' etc.
If I can work Dr. Horrible into my E Lang courswork it means I'll have written two courseworks on geeky/not - common popular knowledge.
First one was Pratchett; second is Dr. Horrible, if I can find something to do alongside it.
So halp?

[Cristo Meyers]

For some reason comparing it to Dr Strangelove came to mind...

...which is odd, because I've seen neither.

You've never seen Dr. Strangelove?

"Gentlemen! You can't fight in here! This is the War Room!"
and my personal favorite...
"Mein Fuhrer! I can walk!"



Yes, I've seen too many movies.

I've heard of Dr. Horrible et al, but haven't seen it - however, Dr. Strangelove (or How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb) is wonderful... ...if you have a certain sense of humour...



~PS

EDIT: @ Wolfbane: Yes, that's a great one. This one always cracked me up: "Well, I've been to one world fair, a picnic, and a rodeo, and that's the stupidest thing I ever heard come over a set of earphones."

No, but my family does have a few dozen chickens, a dozen Guinea Hens, 6 ducks and a goose named George.

Hmm... George should learn the electric guitar, and start a space rock band...

Wow. Kickass mental images.

[Rutskarn]

I don't know what the above is a reference to, but it's damn awesome anyway.

[UncleWolf]

45 minutes until I go to my first class of the new year. It should be a fun one, but I'm not so sure about the one after it.

[Cristo Meyers]

Class...fun?

These two words do not compute...
