She's particularly fond of the shots from an above-the-table perspective. She paws at the balls as they ricochet around the screen. It's damned cute is what. Lonely folks who dote on cats are not the sign of our decline as a society. And maybe if we called our nanas more, they wouldn't have to resort to feline companionship. Here's some stuff that does have me worried about our collective well-being: * Personal Seat Licences - let me get this straight, if I shell out big bucks for a PSL, I've purchased only the right to part with even more of my money to buy the season tickets. What's wrong with that picture? * Gacy:The Musical - the songs suck. And the chubby, spooky looking bald guy who plays the lead has no stage presence whatsoever - he does bear a remarkable resemblance to J.W. Gacy however * Poker on TV - zzzzzzzzzzzz. STRIP poker with Shannon Elizabeth maybe, but this is Texas Hold 'em and draw played by a bunch of out-of-shape, chain-smoking dudes who haven't seen the light of day in about a decade. * NASCAR - are white guys so hard-up for a sport they can dominate that a hillbilly car chase gets elevated to national spectacle? * Customized ring tones for cell phones - whatta a public nuisance those have become. There's quite a selection available, I'll say that. The other day standing in line at the DMV, I heard BOOTYLISCIOUS, some Beethoven and the theme song from SHAFT. Y'know, that Shaft is still a baaad mother - shut my mouth. I'm just talkin' about Shaft. My cat Mitz like the shows on Animal Planet and billiard tournaments on ESPN.

That's what we call a left handed compliment down South. I'd be even more above average if I knew where to find an "IM" dictionary so I could understand your "ROTFLM-T's-O" &#38; such. I suppose I could ask my grown children tomorrow at the big feast. Thanks Debrah… That’s what we call a left handed compliment down South.

That's why I rarely watch the cable channel---what is it?---where they film animals in the wild doing what they do. Going after prey or succumbing to being another's prey. We humans don't have to live that way and we assault nature when we abuse animals and when we kill and mutilate animals for sport. That Kinski "bunny scene" was necessary to show her true transformation into a cat in the wild. Very effective; however, no bunny was really killed in that scene. That was a great film at the time. I was mesmerized by it. Although, being a mere <i>babe in the woods</i> then, I was easily mesmerized. LOL! TO Jim–

Even the part where she chases down the bunny and eats it live? “I LOVE the old movie “Cat People” with Natassia Kinski.”
