  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!

• 5 jpr // Jan 20, 2007 at 4:13 pm

  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.

• 11 Reese // Jan 20, 2007 at 6:52 pm

  I like “Psycho Kitten” (qu’est-ce que ca?). Day by Day there on the Arrggggh page? Wunnerful.

• 12 Guy // Jan 20, 2007 at 7:39 pm

  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.

• 13 AW1 Tim // Jan 20, 2007 at 8:38 pm

  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,

• 14 Jason // Jan 20, 2007 at 9:43 pm

  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).

• 15 sid // Jan 21, 2007 at 4:43 am

  Years of derision towards (Tom)cats are coming back to vex you!

• 16 Michelle // Jan 21, 2007 at 7:18 am

  LOL
  Good one Sid!

• 17 William the Coroner // Jan 21, 2007 at 7:46 am

  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”

• 18 jpr // Jan 21, 2007 at 7:48 am

  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?

• 19 Justthisguy // Jan 21, 2007 at 8:58 am

  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?

• 20 sid // Jan 21, 2007 at 8:59 am

  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.

• 22 Justthisguy // Jan 21, 2007 at 9:21 am

  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.

• 23 John of Argghhh! // Jan 21, 2007 at 9:36 am

  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.

• 24 AFSister // Jan 21, 2007 at 10:20 am

  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!

• 25 lex // Jan 21, 2007 at 11:28 am

  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.

• 27 John of Argghhh! // Jan 21, 2007 at 12:28 pm

  *HACK* that site? Waidaminnit!

• 28 lex // Jan 21, 2007 at 12:37 pm

  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

• 30 BillT // Jan 21, 2007 at 5:10 pm

  >>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…

• 31 BillT // Jan 21, 2007 at 5:12 pm

  MUFFY! Wottinell are you doing at Lexheim and — get away from that keyboard! *Now*!!!

• 32 Bad Cat Robot // Jan 21, 2007 at 6:19 pm

  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….

• 33 BillT // Jan 21, 2007 at 8:13 pm

  …on all four paws, not just all forepaws.

  BCR plays for keeps.

• 34 AFSister // Jan 22, 2007 at 7:28 am

  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?

• 35 Kris, in New England // Jan 22, 2007 at 7:47 am

  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???

• 36 Cricket // Jan 22, 2007 at 11:59 am

  Cats are scary things, being the tame predators that they are.

• 37 John of Argghhhh! // Jan 22, 2007 at 12:30 pm

  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.

• 38 John of Argghhhh! // Jan 22, 2007 at 12:31 pm

  Hey - no fair - the html for linethrough shows up in the preview but not the post? Teaser!

• 39 lex // Jan 22, 2007 at 12:46 pm

  It was waiting for you to finally write “straights”.

  Heh.
