I would do a longer post if I were not in the throes of a wicked migraine. Not the worst by far but it takes creativity and leaves it hollow – a papery husk left over after the soul of a living creature has been sucked out by greedy parasitic vampires.
I was doing a keyword search through my e:mail and ran across this one. See if you can guess where it came from.
Surrounded by dickwads, we pressed onward, through the fog of idjitry.
And no, it is not from “The Charge of the Light Brigade”.
Here is a picture of Jack Katt not mentoring Melody the kitten but rather wondering if he could eat her in one bite or two. The fact that he isn’t actually trying to do so is a testament to the power of the Kitty Pheromonizer-ator™, the plug-in air-freshener thingy loaded with Happy Kitty Squeezin’s.
And never let it be said, wiccapundit, that I am not willing to throw up a picture for you to enjoy. I’m sorry it is blurry but the kit won’t sit still long enough to snap a decent pic. The profile is classic.
I very much enjoyed that picture. The composition is exceptional. The reflection of the lamp in the window is a metaphor for the full moon; quite intentional on your part, I am sure.
By the way, the reason the picture is blurry is not because kitty is moving in this plane of existence. She is moving BETWEEN the worlds; your digital camera is simply not fromulated enough to capture the interstitiation.
I thought an explanation might be in order.
And here I thought the extra corpulation package deal on the camera was enough to offset the low fromulation ratios. Result: Blurry kittens.
The moon was totally intentional except for the fact that it was a lamp and that I did not actually notice it.
try soaking your hands in hot water to relieve migraine. works best if you catch it early.
I don’t know who said that quote, but I’m stealing it.
And I thought it WAS the moon in the pic :D
Cute kitties! Glad they’re getting on well. Check this out. http://www.afrocircus.com
Dammit. Html-fu fail.

Wait, are you planning on using creativity for your posts?
That’ll be an interesting change from the usual.
Like my dog, the only thing that keeps kittens alive is that other animals and people think they’re cute and/or can’t decide exactly how to kill the darn pest.
I had considered asking you how to go about using creativity more effectively but realized you’d never once actually used creativity yourself, so I’ll ask someone else instead.
Our kitten has gone from “playful with toys” to “death from above for adult cats”. She’s a little terror.
Did you just say, “I know you are but what am I?”?
Seriously?
Do a search and see if those words were used by anyone but you.
I’m boycotted. Why do you keep coming back?
How can you know I’m boycotting you if I don’t come here?
Geez, it’s like you don’t know how a boycott works.
I am but a simple redneck aerospace engineer and your complex machinations befuddle me. Or you are projecting your confusion on me.
I would tell people what a wonderful graphic you put up today but the boycott must still go on. Too bad your graphics lacked creativity other than what their creators instilled within them. Your knack for selection of humorous gems is truly stellar however.
Pity.
That would be an approximate quote from Pat Garret to the journalist in “Young Guns II” – – “Surrounded by idiots, we pressed on”. or something like that.
Wiccapundit hits the nail right on the threads with his simple but elegant explanation of the kitten-blurring phenomena. Everyone who’s owned a feline knows that they can travel from point A to point B without visibly traveling the space in-between.
Wasn’t this the very observation that stimulated Esaki to invent the Tunnel Diode?
Actually Woo, I first heard that from you. It sounded so awesome even back then (years and years) that when I stumbled on it again I had to use it.
So you are implying that kittens also have an evanescant field? They can escape a waveguide? Wow.
I said that? Damn – I liked it even better than I remember…
Evanescent field? Oh, hell yes! Haven’t you seen the parallel “coupled” optical waveguide demos in (for instance) Barnoski’s “Integrated Optics”?
I demonstrated multiple track-swaps with X-band SEM’s back in the early 70’s in a REALLy long room – to the complete (and naive) delight of my g-adviser.
Kittens can do that at will – but only if you’re not looking! It’s when they lick their paws that they are contemplating doing it…. :)
A lot of my work in recent years has been exploiting optical coupling so I am totally familiar with it but not in felines. Way surprised to see kittens tunnel.
Kittens take Schrodinger’s path: they are either here, or they are there. There is no “in transit.”
So long as you’re not observing them.
I had a cat once name Pixel, as in the Robert Heinlein “Cat Who Walked Through Walls.” And she could, by damn.
I really think they can Heisenberg around at will, too. They are very quantum wee beasties, these kittens.
Hitting the nail on the threads? Of course. There is no problem that can’t be solved with the suitable application of a hammer.
I love mixing my metaphors, Wicca! After all, a greasy wheel gathers no moss.
I’ve always been fond of sayings like “Talk about being stuck on the horns of an enema.”
How ’bout “strike while the flesh is weak”?
The spirit was willing, but the iron was not.
As Doc the bartender from “The Boondock Saints” would say: “Make like a tree and get the fuck outta here!”
But that would be water under the bush, if a rolling stone gets the grease.
Or the ever classic: Time flies like an arrow, but fruit flies like a banana.
Even better, when people ask me “What’s up?”, my typical response is “Negative displacement along the Z-axis.” Usually followed by a blank stare…
