Thread Killer Champions: Franzbear & Moonbear

[JamesU]

No, it's called: Wait Till The Cat Hits The Fan

Well for some reason, this:

She tried to fly before being fully fledged,
And sorry she could not fly both ways,
and be one flyer, long she stood,
And looked into the fan as far as she could,
To where it spun , in the corner wedged...

Sounds like this:

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

(just a sneaking suspicion.

I go away for a while, do some grocery shopping, make some food, rearrange furniture and rugs in the basement, and come back to find about 60 new posts! Thankfully most of them were pictures instead of words, so that made it a lot faster to catch up.

Cats hitting the fan, huh? I haven't seen the kittens or mom cat all day. Maybe I pestered them enough yesterday that the mom moved them (or maybe she was reading this thread when I wasn't looking and decided to high tail it out of here). It's much easier when the mom cat handles such tasks.

The cat's sight is the fan
It's hardest view to hold

The early cat's devour
lasts not a single hour

Then cat subsides to ways
so lives on better days

So the cat goes down today
Not one fanned cat can stay

I think that first stanza there was stretching the rhyme a bit. Do we have to dig out the dictionaries and pronunciation guides again to compare vowel sounds in "fan" and "hold"?

Ouch! Poor kitty! Funny that you found this on a site named for sheep! Were you shopping for presents for Artman?

Aww, it's the counting sheep! I know those guys well. They hang out with me lots of nights after everyone else has gone to bed already.

 

[Craps]

Moonbear, you have a very impressive avatar.

Ladies and Gentlemen..

Sleepless -DAY 2-

I watched an entire class's video over one night on MIT OpenCourseWare website..

I'm beginning to wonder why I attend a University..


hmm.. self-study.. or pay tuition.. questions, questions

Thanks for adding that; I couldn't play the first one.
That cat picked a dumb time to let go. It could have taken out the cameraman if it had held on another 10th of a second or so.

I know that dating can be tough on a guy like you, Cronxeh, but this is the first time that I've ever seen someone have to resort to inflatable sheep.

 

[Artman]

That was great, I couldn't resist!

Evo, believe it or not, you put a mustache on that guy (and a little less hair in the front) and that is what I look like (one of these days I'll get around to submitting a picture). Cute movies you guys!

 

[Evo]

Okay, I'm going to say this one last(and first) time. Get norton antivirus

I told him to get Norton Antivirus...but noooo, he didn't listen.

 

[cronxeh]

anti-virus is for noobs

 

[Evo]

anti-virus is for noobs

But it works.

The version of Norton on my laptop notifies me if a website I go to tries to send anything like adware or spyware, etc... It quarantines the files and asks me what I want to do. It's nice because it stops the stuff before it affects the computer.

then you must be using IE

Firefox or Opera don't have this problem of AdWare, and using IE + Norton will NOT protect you from getting an adware

 

[Evo]

Actually, it has prevented me from getting adware. It's not the version for consumer (or even small business) use. The consumer version I have on my home computer does not prevent adware, however. I've hit the same website with both my computers, my laptop blocked the adware, and notified me, my home computer installed it, then when I ran a scan it showed up and I had to run the unistall tool to remove it.

Large businesses will not use firefox or opera.

 

[cronxeh]

I read a whitepaper on IE bug about a year ago and I think so did the people who write those adware/trojan/virii kind of 'plugs' - basically there is no way to fix Internet Explorer without redoing Windows

 

[Evo]

I've never cared for IE, I preferred Netscape Navigator back in the olden days of yore, but was forced to use IE for work. That was so many years ago, I've forgotten what I disliked about it. Honestly though, I have never experienced any problems with it.

 

[cronxeh]

well I don't know what kind of sites you go to, obviously not same kind most guys go to

 

[Evo]

Good point.

 

[Moonbear]

Yes, all the more reason to have protection when entering those sites!

where's Doc? My neighbor's tortoise ran away from home yesterday so I went out looking for him. I wasn't sure where to hunt for him, but I was checking shady spots under bushes, etc. How long will he be able to survive outside?

 

[JamesU]

You can't catch a tortise?


I think we're getting close to killing this thread. The posts per day are getting lesser and lesser

 

[cronxeh]

what do you expect

Its Spring. Everyone is tending to their hormonal activities

 

[Huckleberry]

No, it's just that I've been away from home for a while. I'm back now and the posts per day will pick back up to their ordinary level. Isn't that special?

Got that virus gone. Thank goodness.

They run like the wind, just ask Danger.

ROGER!

 

[zoobyshoe]

How long will he be able to survive outside?

50 to 60 years, depending on his present age.

 

[zoobyshoe]

You need to italicize the word special.

 

[Math Is Hard]

I'm sure the tortoise will be able to find food, but I'm worried about him being able to find water to drink.

 

[zoobyshoe]

I'm sure the tortoise will be able to find food, but I'm worried about him being able to find water to drink.

If it is any kind of local species I wouldn't worry a bit about it. They probably suck on dewy grass in the nights and mornings. If it's an import from somewhere wetter, then it could be a problem.

 

[Huckleberry]

I like to leave things open for interpretation.

Do I even want to know why you just happen to have that link on hand?

Welcome back. Did you wash your hands before returning?

Is that why the tortoise took off?

That would depend upon just what the owner's hormonal activities entailed.

They run like the wind, just ask Danger.

Only the red-eared ones.

I wish! It's been two warm days this weekend. It rained a little while this morning, but the rest of the weekend has been sunny, so I've been getting the tons of outdoor projects done that have needed doing for a long time now, but haven't been done because it keeps raining. Haven't seen hide nor hair of kittens all weekend, so I think their mom must have moved them. Good, since I also discovered there's a robin's nest up in the tree next to the deck, and I'd rather be certain the baby robins are not going to turn into kitten food. Though, those robins have one tough mother...I felt a bit bad for the squirrel that was trying to climb the tree and was quite badly harrassed (but that's what alerted me to look up to see if there is a nest there). Well, I planted flowers today, so there are now plenty of earthworms stirred up again for the robins. They were busy tending the babies today, so didn't want to play catch...ast time I was gardening for a while, a robin hung out not even 10 ft from me while I tossed it earthworms I was digging up.

Hey, the smilies are rearranged again! How does that keep happening?

 

[Evo]

Yeah, who keeps doing that? IT'S REALLY IRRITATING!

Mother cats usually move their kittens several times. Now, the two kittens will grow up and next year all three will be back pregnant and have six kittens each. That happened to me a couple of years ago. They knew I was a source of food and water, so all three showed up ready to have their kittens. Overnight, 21 cats! I only found homes for three and had to take the rest to the shelter where I know they were put to sleep.

Yeah, she probably got nervous about me sticking my head under the deck trying to get a look at the kitties. I've been planning to get some chicken wire or something to close up under the deck to keep the critters out. There's some wood lattice already up, but some of it isn't really attached anymore and the rest has enough space under it to make it useless.

Took these pics on a trip through the woods this weekend. The blooming trees reminded me of fireworks, or floraworks in this case. The other has potential to be my next avatar. (sorry Evo)

 

[Huckleberry]

Neat snake. It looks like you just told it a funny joke.

I don't think the ladies will be spending that much time looking at the snake though.

Aww, that's a cute snake...I prefer them as babies with a mouth still smaller than your finger. And that one looks like it's trying so hard to act vicious.

But, sorry, we're still biased toward turtle watching.

 

[Huckleberry]

I've heard that baby snakes of venemous species are more likely to give fatal bites because they inject all their venom. Are they more dangerous or was this just something my mother told me to keep me away from snakes?
