I thought you were my friend! How could you do this to me!

After all the months we've know each other and you go and do THIS.

sniff

(Are you feeling guilty yet? Feeling sorry for making me so sad? Not to worry--just change your vote, and we'll be bestest buddies again!)

ares, c'est normal, je pense. :)

Hmmm.....that is going to make catching flies a lot more difficult, to be sure. On the other hand, maybe my sentence will be commuted to time served

With respect to point a), you are restricted to purely defensive capabilities. If flies are used for sustenance, that ability will not be impaired.

As to point b), you'll have to take it up with the Parole Council.

Re point b, who is the Parole Council (she asks in fear and trembling)?

because he's um, really allergic to cats. to the point that thinking about them gets him all sneezing. yeah. that's the reason :)

No one's saying cats & dogs can't live in harmony. It's simply a question of which you prefer.

If you like both equally, the vote cancels itself out.

Remind me again how many cats were down trying to find people at the WTC ? After an earthquake have they ever brought cats in to find people still alive ? Have you ever seen a rescue cat ? If you have they are vastly ounumbered by canines. Ever seen one checking for explosives at the airport ?
If cats are so great, why is it you never see the police feline units driving around ?

Cats aren't stupid enough to put themselves in harms way for us mere humans.

No but they are dumb enough to climb up a tree without being able to get down. So they don't rescue people, we have to rescue them.

dogs = rescue the firefighters............cats = have to be rescued BY firefighters when they could be off fighting fires.

Touche' THX, take that :)

They can get down. They are just seeing if people are dumb enough to go up and get them!!!

Well then next time we should just let them stay up there then :)

Cats will eventually figure out how to get down if some stupid human doesn't come along and say "Look at the poor kitty in the tree, we've got to rescue him".

Back at ya, buddy.

That's what I did with my cats and they figured it out.

I will admit the first time it happened I was stupid enough to get him out.

LOL!

Don't get me wrong Luv2Fly. I love dogs too but I prefer cats.

I'd love to have a dog too but don't have the time it requires to do it right.

Hey, vote early and vote often, I always say.

Can dead guys vote, too?

are you talking dead presidents or just dead guys in general?

Just dead guys. I'm thinking dead presidents deserve to be perpetually disenfranchised.

They had their chances.

what do the judges say on this one, jt?

In San Francisco dead guys vote all the time.

As a matter of fact, I just found twenty ballot boxes floating in the bay with 2463 votes for cats and 20 votes for dog, but on-leash only.

Tue, 05/21/2002 - 8:56 PM Permalink
L. Lionne

But since all 20 dog votes were for the SAME dog, I really think it should only count as one vote.

Your take, Maggie?

you're back in the bay area, maggs? weird.

Um, no not really. I'm still stuck in Nebraska, but my heart is in San Francisco.

Turns out the ballots for the dog was actually an order for an Korean BBQ joint on Clement Street.

Ouch. And there's no truth to the rumor that you can get cat from any disreputable storefront Chinese restaurant?

I'll take that as one vote for cats?

I reckon that's a safe bet!
