Lilly:
"Your Zefness, I was right there with you on the paranoiac uncertainty angle; I actually started to write something here on Xmas afternoon, but then wondered exactly how pathetic I would appear, having no discernable Life even on Christmas...(damn you, Bill, for your not-so-subconscious suggestions!)"

Yeah, that joke totally didn't work. And it seemed to kill all activity in the comments. Y'see, the "joke" was "Only a doofy head would look here on Xmas--and yet look how much I've posted anyway! It involved stealing images and resizing them in Photoshop!" See? Twas *I* that twas the big doof, I twas! And indeed twas I, as no one got it.

Note that it led to the only time no one said anything about Ferd'nand. That'll learn me.

Seriously. Kid had a fucking rake tied to his back. What was up with that? The only theory I've come up with is "Ferd didn't want him falling through the ice hole," but the hole is so small that it would only happen if Ferd jammed his son in head first and poked him through with, I dunno, a rake or something. What a lovely sentiment for Xmas Eve!

Eep, poor Byron! I hope everything is back to normal really soon.

Aw,neat. i'm glad he's oki. i usually hiss, but only to the other cat in the street, when he comes and climbs our wall to steal some of kiwi's food (i try as much as possible to feed him inside) hissing usually keeps him at bay, and even makes him leave. i don't think i'd need swatting motions.. the people here looks weirdly at me enough.

Happai new year

aw, poor Byron. It wouldn't be possible to give him a bath, would it? Then he'd no longer smell of strange cats to Kill Kill. I know there are two schools of thought on that, as chronicled in Cleveland Amory's The Cat Who Came for Christmas, i.e. either that cats do a perfectly good job of cleaning themselves and I'm not sticking my hand anywhere near a wet one, or that they need and will gladly tolerate regular baths. I dunno if you're not supposed to get his stitches wet or if it would be too traumatic, or what.

oh hey, and danke danke for the link.

All is fine this New Year's Eve with the kids. Kill Kill's over her earlier anger yesterday and everything's back to normal.

Kiru: Yes, too much trauma in two days, fresh stitches on his tummy, so no bath for Byron. If KK had continued attacking him last night, it would've been the final fix. I think that me hissing and swatting back at her might've done the trick, as she was very startled each time it happened. And then she went to bed--either to sleep or to sulk and think--and when she returned, all was well. She's a smart cat, a good cat, and a gentle cat. Bolton Veterinary has TARDS working for them.

Danke danke for the comics! It's here, to those of you slugs STILL not reading it. Updates every 2-3 days lately.
Oh--you meant that LOTR link. Danke for letting me briefly rip off your concept Monday!



Oh. Umm, I was going between writing this and scouring the litter box, and the radio says--Happy New Year!
Yep, it's a spiral of excitement here! But I work in the booze biz. I spent all day selling to the people who are about to be on the roads. I hope you stayed home, too.



And so ends the first month of comments. A new link begins tomorrow. Since my big plans are to sleep in, it may take most of the day for it to go up, so feel free to keep posting here until then.

There sure seem to be a lot of elves with receding hairlines. They live forever but their hair follicles don't?
-Someone name machupicchu

This person stands out in my mind for saying that such and such was the "first person beside msallegro" to point out the homoeroticism between Frodo and Sam. Hee hee!

For those of you wondering why I deleted my last post (i.e. none of you) I suddenly realized it contains part of a phrase from the novel I'm writing, so, yeah.

"I suddenly realized it contains part of a phrase from the novel I'm writing"

All I remember (from the subscriber email) was the...colorful rephrasing of the expression "head over heels."
Why does head over heels mean what it does? Isn't your head usually over your heels?

DAMN. I'm paranoid about people reading my stuff before I'm ready.

I'm proud of that phrase, too.

Lavender:
Don't worry, it's our little secret.
For ten bucks! ;)

Uhoh. The Splut goes interactive. I actually enjoyed sending random emails and getting no response too, pout.

Charlotte Bronte. And I have NO idea how I knew that. Ask me to name all 50 states and I'll walk away. But Charlotte Bronte I got. I've never read a Bronte book in my entire freaking life either.

I thought of you New Years Eve (west coast whut!). I was watching Adult Swim, laughing and gasping at the things they got away with, wondering if I was the only loser in the world at home, watching Cartoon Network on NYE. Then I thought "Hey, I bet old Splutty Splut might be watching!" Eh. I have no life.

Occasionally I find myself singing quietly "My name is... SHAKEZULA!" and "Meatwad get the honies, see..." Again. Lifeless.

Glad to hear Byron is ok, I have to go back and read up on when/how you learned he was deaf.

Me again. I find the most interesting links from you. For example, "100 things to do with your boy/girlfriend instead of It", in addition to including some painfully boring items, also had some that quirked an eyebrow.

6. Play hide-and-seek in a cornfield - Is that a euphemism for...? Surely not. Or is it?

9. Pray together - That you get LAID!

31. Eat something you have never tried before - snortle chuckle cough

33. Eat ice cream cones - See how long your boyfriend will watch you lick it before having to "go home".

38. Have a squirt gun fight - Did ANYONE edit these at all?!? "Squirt gun"????

45. Have a burping contest - Not so much thinly veiled sexual innuendo as much as ensuring you never have sex with that person. Ever.

49. Jump on a trampoline - Say it with me now... JUGGIES! Wait, combine 33, 38 and 49! Soft core porn, baby!

69. Invent a new game - The number speaks for itself. Combined with a naked #11 (play Twister) and again... soft core porn.

85. Buy a disposable camera and take funny pictures of each other - coughnakedcough

91. Play baseball without a bat or ball - aka dry humping on mom's couch.

or maybe it's all just me and my sick dirty mind?

Mr. The Splut:
Cool! My first hurdle in the publishing biz.

My Rocky Horror cast's Xmas party was pretty interesting, if you're a geek like us. We exchanged gifts, and two Meatwad dolls were given out - one person both gave and received one. (He can do a perfect Meatwad imoression. Vocal, that is.) Ever hear a table full of adults singing "Meatwad make da money, see, Meatwad get de honey..." We also used to imitate the old-folks-in-the-pool bumpers during the floor show.

Perverts can be cartoon loving geekanerds too. So it's OK that I watched the CN New Year's programming. Well, an hour and a half - I turned off when "Family Guy" came on.

some poor Sap is bidding on Gonterman's old domain Grimmoire.com for almost $300! i hope he isnt getting a cut of that

Well done!
