Jon--
Please, enough with the false modesty.
Your first comment stunned the thread into coma for just over a month, not a week.

Archived comment by Paul:
Looks to me like it's still breathing...

Archived comment by Jon:
Ahem
I stand by my record here:
Killed the thread for a week by my own post.
Added another post, which killed it for 2 weeks.

You missed one, sluggy.

"Boiling Brimstone or Me?" Contestants get to choose where they spend their eternal damnation- in a lake of molten sulphur or locked in a room with Anna Nicole Smith. NOTE: Due to excessive crowding, options for the lake of sulphur are limited.

Other game shows from Hell:

Eternal Damnation, Eternal Damnation, or Eternal Damnation?- Spin the wheel of misfortune to determine your punishment for all eternity!

Hot Enough For Ya?- Contestants compete for the chance to sit in front of Hell's only working air conditioner for a minute at a time. Bonus minutes awarded if a contestant utters the secret phrase, "Man, it's hotter than Hell in here."

Sorry, that's the way it is.

Archived comment by steff:
once again, the side effects are similar to the condition you're trying to alleviate. but not to sugar pill. not. no. just... what the hell kind of sugar pills were you using, anyway?

and, you forgot "agonizing death".

Archived comment by Joe Napalm:
...Ask your doctor about RIFOAGLITANDC!

Side effects may include dry mouth, shaking hands, snickering, snorking, and uncontrollable giggling. Do not take RIFOAGLITANDC if you are suffering from poor impulse control or spastic neurons. May cause hair loss and/or projectile hemorrhaging.

"I used to have a friend who had her cat shaved every summer

I just want you to know I'm being so good....

Archived comment by Paul:
Even the pros have been known to mess up, Saint.

Archived comment by Saint:
I used to have a friend who had her cat shaved every summer, since it was a long-hair and she didn't have hours upon hours to brush weeds and burrs out of its coat. It was a funny sight, to be sure. I don't think you'd want to do the actual shaving yourself--some things are just best left to professionals.

Archived comment by Taragirl:
Well, my Golden (who is 10) pretty much tolerates the Yorkie (who just turned 1) but that's it. But I figure if we got a kitten, my Yorkie would have a playmate (it is just completely below the golden to actually play with him). Funny thing is that the little Yorkie is incredibly laid back and not yappy which is wonderful.

We shave the Golden in the summer when her fur gets really bad. Guess it wouldn't be a good thing to figure on shaving a cat, huh?

Archived comment by Saint:
The only cats that don't shed are the ones that have no fur and the ones with skin disorders. As for how well a cat might get along with dogs, well, that depends on two things: how young the cat is (the younger the cat, the more likely it is to get acclimatized to dogs), and how much the dogs want a cat around--I've had cats that rub up against dogs and purr, but that just wouldn't be healthy if the dog thinks of cats as snack-food that runs.

Archived comment by Taragirl:
Two questions: Would they get along with a golden retriever and Yorkie? And more important: do they shed?

Archived comment by Cebu:
Awwwww. Paul, that link is so cute.

I had a cat that was at least part Maine Coon. He wasn't big at all, and he was such a sweet cat. And so gorgeous with that fluffy Maine Coon fur.

Cats are great animals. I love dogs, too, but I just have to have a cat.

He is 20 pounds.
However..he doesn't act like a dog..he act's like a spoiled, misanthropic, 4 year old boy.


See namelink for some pix.

Archived comment by Taragirl:
Has anyone ever heard of a Maine Coon Cat? My daughter is on a mission to get one. We are a dog family. However, my husband told her that if she could find a cat that acts like a dog, we would consider. Evidently these cats can get up to 20 lbs and act like dogs.

And I like the word Cusp

Archived comment by Matt:
That was amusing, Joe. Less so than the ultra-vague comments that tim is on the very cusp of comprehending, but amusing nonetheless.

Keep it up.

Archived comment by Joe Napalm:
I suspect your cats are all thinking:

"Why can't this big dolt read minds like everyone else? I mean...gah! This slob can't even figure out why I'm staring at the wall! How dense can you be? Don't these people realize that just a couple thousand years ago I was regarded as a GOD? And now, they don't even appreciate my art. That's it...I'm hacking up something nasty on the carpet."

Or, if you prefer, there's always the Secret Cat Diary that I'm sure everyone's already seen. But it's relevant, nonetheless, so back off.

Never afraid to show my ignorance, here goes.

Thanks Anonymity, because I didn't know what the quote meant. The thread went off into genetics without anyone actually saying that was what "punett" referred to. I guess I figured it was one of those times the course of the thread changed and everyone else knew why but me. *g* So I appreciate the straightforward approach!

Archived comment by brian28306:
What my cat was thinking. "That dog sure does look pissed."

1st and last cat I owned. Most animals can see when they are outweighed 10 to 1 in a fight and realize that running is an option. Stupid cat.

Hey Anonymity - read the thread! Inuki gave an excellent, nay, a superb explanation of them.

"must prowl around house. Must warble at the top of my lungs. Must. kill. girl kitty."
