"Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil, and cruel...

... True, and they have many other fine qualities as well."

Due to some problems with Lovely Wife's laptop I've been to sleep a bit late the past couple of nights. This morning I woke with that pain in the head that clearly stated "You have not slept long enough, go back to bed", which I of course ignored seeing as this is a workday.

I was stumbling about through a mockery of my morning routine when I spied Henk, our sexy main cat.

Do you see how cruelly he teases me? Now that is a professional. (click for mondo size)

POINTS: Caption this picture. The best three captioners will get points (5, 3 & 1 respectively). Contest runs to some time on Friday.

MORE POINTS: 6 points to the first person who correctly attributes the post title without searching.

7 How do I come up with these titles? That's easy. I am the place that useless trivia goes to die. I got a million of 'em.

8 Right I'm giving the world a chance here... I have the answer but will give you all 1 hour before I post it as I feel a bit bad about its source ... I didn't search for it but I did have to look it up ... all will be made clear at 14:32 gmt.

9 Looking up in books is fine. The no searching rule is to prevent googling and such since those just make it a first come, first gets the points thing.

10 Ok so I'm late. the title is taken from a quote by Missy Dizick. I only know this because I have a cat quotations calander on my desk at home! Missy is also the author of my fave ever cat quote: Dogs come when they're called. Cats take a message and get back to you. Love it! And as for captions how about: Witch Wendy couldn't afford a brrom but made do with what she had.

11 "I'm a sucker for bit hot stiffies." "Women's lib? Fuck that." I see a theme here-I'm angry and home alone, so I see some double-AA action in my future.

12 Rob got the trivia question. Along with an admission of having a cat quotation calendar on his desk. A cat quotation calendar. On his desk. He admitted it. He's definitely earned the points. That gives him a sizeable though not insurmountable lead. The caption contest is still on 'til Friday and there's the nominate best posts things still going on.

13 a cat calander on his desk.. what is the world coming to?

Posted by: pylorns at July 21, 2004 02:44 PM (FTYER)

14 To follow a lot of themes here, if Rob had been into consuming his cat, he could have a cat colander on his desk. As to the caption: Henk tried to get some iron in his diet.

15 I knew Rob would have a cat calendar on his desk: he seems the type. Some captions for you: "It's me or the iron; your choice, lady." "No, I said I wanted a hot dog. " "Waddaya mean this isn't the cat solarium?" "This board isn't big enough for the two of us." "What's a cat gotta do to get a nice back rub around here?" OK I really should get some work done now.

16 "Ever the thrifty spender, Jim has discovered a new way to get LW that black fur shoal she always wanted. The neighbor will never miss the cat anywayÂ…"

17 Hey Jim, are non-bloggers eligible for points? If not, I'll just play for fun. Linked to me name is a URL you may recognize..... Here's the caption: "Ahhhh, this is much more comfy than Jim's editorial page, and just as practical."

18 Contests are always open to everybody. I'm an equal opportunity amuser. ;-)

19 Much to her dismay, Jeanette realized she didn't use quite enough Vano in the final rinse.

20 "What do you mean, you didn't buy this table for me to sleep on?!"

21 "Amazing new ironing board allows women to simultaneously iron, rub pussy." That's one beautiful cat!
