Aw hell... I married a hippy.
And I refuse, REFUSE, to answer any dlowan poll that does not contain the word 'smeg'.
I do not know who is Deb (I hope, it is not an impolite reference to the Biblical prophetess Deborah), but if she is really concerned about animals, she can sue the person having shaved the cat and spend the tort money for breeding a species of cats having unshaveable Kevlar® fur.
Why Steissd - I believe you have made a joke!
I am deb - and I was, indeed, named after the biblical Deborah.
However, the purpose of the thread is to see how I should punish the devilish Craven if, indeed, he shaves poor Zoom Zoom.
Have you voted?
Of course, that was a joke: I do not believe that it is so easy to modify the feline genotype in the way it would enable the animal to synthetize Kevlar®. I voted "other" by the way, and prompted the legal action.
steissd made a hilarious joke, and Deb missed it !!!!!
What kind of automaton drone did you think he was? You think he's off in a laboratory, figguring out how to make Kevlar kitties????
This was worth waking up for.
steissd--
(Deb--Hope you got that this was a joke, as well.)
Bwahahahahahahaha!
Kalashnikovs at sunrise.......oh...yes, of course I got that it was a joke - smiles - hey! I think kevlar kitties are a good idea where Cravens are concerned - maybe we can make the four who live with him little kevlar suits?
Whaddaya think?
And little video security and walkie-meowie systems so that they can keep up with what he is plotting?
... I'm smegging ecstatic...
Possibly, the cat's response will be adequate punishment...
I voted for a tonsure because I figure it'll go over sooo well at a club or wherever the heck young whippersnappers hang out these days.
If the cat responds with a level of defence found both uncontrollable and unpleasant to the invader, I believe the invader will cease operations prior to suffering any grievous level of casualty infliction.
I would prognosticate, however, (wiv the aid of me free range chicken entrails), that, should the cruel and unjust invasion occur, the invader will be able to adequately subdue the civilian population, and will loot and plunder as he pleases.
Should the invasion proceed, I would require independently verified photographic evidence of invader casualties in order to suspend any punishment mission which might be undertaken.
Confusion to the possible invader! Free the innocent Zoom Zoom!!!
I wonder, friends: ought we to underake a pre-emptive strike?
Jes - as Mrs Noah on our little Ark - might I do the tonsuring with a blunt razor? Will you help hold him down? I believe him to be quite agile.
I will hold him down so long as later we all roast the free-range chicken and serve it with new potatoes, corn on the cob and a small side salad.
Deal!
Shall we allow Craven to have any?
(We could do a wee hippy serenade while I cooked, right? he will, presumably, still held down at that point.)
Invade? I said "shave" what the heck did you think i said?
Shaving should go on in a separate room. Hygeine and all that, you know; wouldn't want any of the tonsure to end up in the side salad.
Hippy serenades optional.
Metaphor, dear, metaphor.
I do a nice Moroccan roast chicken - one smears the chicken pieces with some honey and rose water before roasting - and bastes during - it is served with toasted pine nits and finely chopped glace ginger....
