Don’t know quite what’s going on here, but if I am any judge at all, I know that neither of them are up to any good.
Getting so’s a man can’t even surf the interwebs anymore, without being interfered with.

Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

I’d be worried, Lex. I think he’s conspiring with the Castle Scruples.
Snerk. Chortle. Guffaw!
And the best part is there is nothing you can do about it!
p.s. tuna is in the mail, good job Operative!
Handsome cat. What is the name? Ought to be Gunpowder? We have a female Maine Coon who does the same thing to me when I am on mine.
Hey, that makes a pretty cool desktop pic!
Hey, we once had a cat just like that. Still miss her. And is that a Powerbook G4..?
Oh, and GO BEARS!!
Heehee … never underestimate the power of your feline companions
I just buried my buddy. We shared a life for almost 14 years, and I’ll miss him a good many years more than that. Hebert (Eh-bare, en Francais) met me from work everyday, and we sat down and talked about what we did. He brought me his trophies, and very proudly displayed even into his twilight years that he was a great mouser. There’s nothing to compare to sharing a life with a cat. Hebert lies now in the shade of his favorite bed of ferns, and will be able to keep an eye on all the birds that flock to my feeder.
Has the cat found the mouse? Pun intended. I crack myself up!!!
My family had to put my cat to sleep after being in the family after 10 years. She was old and was a second mother to me and my sis. Her name was Sox. She had this cute Hitler type spot on her nose…
I still miss her…
The cat’s name is an issue of dispute here at the casa del lex. It’s ostensibly the Biscuit’s cat, and she – channeling Hunter S. Thompson to a degree that alarms her parents – has named the rascal “Gonzo,” while to the Hobbit he is y-clept “Mosby.” On account of the ghost-like grayness that’s in him.
The Kat call’s him “Psycho Kitten,” however, which is probably as appropriate as any so far.
As for me? I wonder why we give cats names, anyways? It’s isn’t like they come when you call…
And that’s a MacBook Pro, actually. Wunnerful machine.
I like “Psycho Kitten” (qu’est-ce que ca?). Day by Day there on the Arrggggh page? Wunnerful.
Hmmm…looks rather fearsome to me. One would have to assume that the enemy has gotten thru the gates. As long as he doesn’t stop for the paws(sic) that refreshes all should be okay.
Shipmates,
All in all, I prefer a dog. Dogs, after all, have masters. Cats, it seems, only have servants…….
By the by… what DO cats do on their day off? They obviously can’t lay around the house, that being their job after all…..
And you can tell just by looking at that cat’s expression who the boss is around that place… lookit that look he’s giving you, ya know? That “oh… YOU wanted to use this?” “Alright… just a minute while I log off…..”
Respects,
jpr…
good call, GO BEARS.
I’ll be good and drunk at the game today. My prediction: Da Bears Tirthy-one, Da Saints Tree (that 31 to 3 for those of you not familiar with da superfans).
Years of derision towards (Tom)cats are coming back to vex you!
LOL
Good one Sid!
You CAN train a cat to come when called. I’ve never bothered, but I enjoy the household predators all on their lonesome. Handsome kitty. Though I’d go for the gusto and call him “Rover”
Jason,
I’ll be good and drinking, AT HOME, where it’s warm and dry! Though I do have a few co-workers who’ll be at the game and I’m a bit jealous.
Lex,
After I posted about the PowerBook I noticed you were running Windows XP. How much are you split between using Windows v. Mac OS 10.x.x?
And can the cat type?
You, Sir, are a very bad boy, as FbL pointed out over at The Donovans’ in the link which brought me here. You’ll never hoist yer flag, at this rate, what with communing with insubordinate kitties, while also lookin’ at subversive Weblogs, &c.
Posting evidence of yer crimes in among the Intertubes! You poor boy! Dint anybody tell you about the NIS? Or whatever they call them these days. They *know* about yer “prostate exams.” We know the flight surgeons are a bit strange, don’t we?
It could be worse…

Sorry, gratuitous homo joke seems to have fallen out automatically. We must admit, that’s been a standard joke about sailors for a l-o-n-g time.
I mean, Rum, Sodomy, and The Lash. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
Snork.
Oh, sid, I remember reading “Born Free”, in which Elsa the lioness expressed serious interest in Joy Adamson’s rifle, after she’d seen what it could do. Killin’ at a distance, and all. I think Mrs Adamson missed a bet there, shoulda taught that lioness to shoot.
Most domestic kitties wouldn’t understand the concept of the sight picture, and the breath control, and all, but a lioness? Just maybe.
Heh. If they don’t come when you call, Lex – that sez more about you, than they.
As noted here – we have no problem getting them to come when we call.
Gonzo-Psycho-Mosby *does* have good taste in his blog-surfing, however.
How did my Claire get to Cali without her loving owner!?!?! Your “psycho” looks just like my baby, Claire. It’s my other one though, MamaCat, who’s the keyboard hound. Every time I blog in bed, she’s got at least one paw on the keys. My ex’s cat, Squeaker, lived on top of the monitor, absorbing its heat, until he got a new flat screen. Poor kitty. You should have seen her scramble the first time she jumped up there when he put the new monitor up. LMAO!
jpr @ 18, strangely enough (for a dyed in the wool Mac guy) it’s on Windows most the time at home. I bought it because I needed to run some specialized Excel plug-ins that hadn’t been ported to the Mac side for school work. One of the bennies to the naval postgrad school was a free download of Office software, and then I sometimes play Windows only games on it, like Call of Duty.
When I’m on the road and looking to either play music or vid-chat home I switch back over the Mac side. The camera doesn’t work on the Windows side. The only other issue I’ve noted with the BootCamp software that Apple released in beta to take advantage of the Intel chips is that the machine has issues properly going to (and remaining) asleep sometimes – it wakes itwself up when you close the lid, and if you don’t notice it before you stuff it in your carrying bag it can get pretty hot.
Well, that and virus protection, but that’s the ocean you swim in running Windows.
Good Kitty. Now tell Mr. Lex that he doesn’t need his computer while you hack
that site.
*HACK* that site? Waidaminnit!
I’m thinking Cricket maybe got her words out of sequence. Prolly she was trying to make some comment about “that site’s hack.”
I imagine.
Jut don’t click on any email attachments titled cheepC@tnip_online.exe if you know what’s good for you
>>hzz. tell pretty grey cat thing with multitudinosity of namings that bad cat robot lady can fix up with opposable thumb outserts for paddy-paws. then be able to open li’l friskers baggie by own self for munching while increasing brain cells at castle-pless. on unrelatedly note, why hy-umun self-name neptunus lex? name scout always tell name jake charlie-the-tuna thing is hondo of deepness.
>>hzzzzz. name jake is name numbskull. name muffy now making apologies for scrup’l with subterrene education level. all hy-umun know that charlie-the-tuna thing is *honcho* of deepness. squid-pless here is more in literary littorals, like sponge-bob thing…
MUFFY! Wottinell are you doing at Lexheim and — get away from that keyboard! *Now*!!!
For a suitable bribe, my dear Lex, I can pretend I didn’t see the scruple-suggestion above. It is entirely up to you whether your already fretful life will shortly include a cat with thumbs….
…on all four paws, not just all forepaws.
BCR plays for keeps.
I’ve missed the scruples, Bill! It’s been a long time since they’ve taken over the Castle!!
Perhaps they like the weather in sunny San Diego more than gloomy, wet and cold Kansas?
Lex, I hope you backed off after you took that pic. That’s one annoyed looking cat, who looks like it lives up to the name Gonzo more than to the other 2…what’s in its Kibble anyway???
Cats are scary things, being the tame predators that they are.
So, Lex, see what happens when you insult our site’s hack? He shows up and channels scrup’ls.
And the Denizens take over this thread and drive away the normals regulars.
Hey – no fair – the html for linethrough shows up in the preview but not the post? Teaser!
It was waiting for you to finally write “straights”.
Heh.
