The Cat’s Diary

Day 2983 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.

They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets.

Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.

In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet.

I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities.

However, they merely made condescending comments about what a “good little hunter” I am.

Damn Bastards.

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight.

I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event.

However, I could hear the noises and smell the food.

I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of “allergies.”

I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking.
I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.

The dog receives special privileges.

He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return.

He is obviously retarded.

The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move.

My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe.

For now…

Thanks Dave.

strangest statues worldwide

In my travels I’ve been astonished how many city fathers have been convinced to erect statues bizarre and comic. 06

Started as a collection of statues, titled as Strange statues around the world and posted at the lifestyle blogzine haha.nu, the idea emerged to this site.

Collected, submitted, tagged and commented by you, the readers of haha.nu. Strange, odd, maybe *pornographic* even, but every statue has its own history and represents the original expression of their authors.

RSS feeds – Daily Show and Colbert

Jeff sez, “When Viacom pulled Daily and Colbert Report clips from YouTube, they began posting them on Viacom-owned iFilm.

While iFilm has a comprehensive set of clips from each episode of both shows, they incredulously don’t provide RSS feeds. I used Dapper and Feedburner to create the following RSS feeds for both shows. Enjoy!”

John McCain – get some better TECH support !

Oops.

MySpace has not been good to this presidential candidate.

Someone on Presidential hopeful John McCain’s staff is going to be in trouble today. They used a well known template to create his Myspace page. The template was designed by Newsvine Founder and CEO Mike Davidson …. Davidson gave the template code away to anyone who wanted to use it, but asked that he be given credit when it was used, and told users to host their own image files.

McCain’s staff used his template, but didn’t give Davidson credit. Worse, he says, they use images that are on his server, meaning he has to pay for the bandwidth used from page views on McCain’s site.

Davidson decided to play a small prank on the campaign this morning as retribution. Since he’s in control of some of the images on the site, he replaced one that shows contact information with a statement:

Today I announce that I have reversed my position and come out in full support of gay marriage…particularly marriage between two passionate females.

the SAWCHUKS on TV

Rockin’ sent me a link to an episode of a TV show called Shopping Bags. (On the Not-For-Men Network.)

Yeesh.

Looks like another trashy reality show. Here’s the gist.

Two pretty hosts invade a home or trailer and ridicule the possessions and lifestyle of the “real people”.

(If the home is too unphotogenic, they edit in a stand-in. It’s all done with CGI.)

On the pretext of a “free improvement” to the hellhole, they systematically embarrass everyone in the household, starting with the teenage daughter.

(Often they bring in a model for this part.)

The family in this episode — the Sawchuks — …, you know, they look, somehow familiar.

Why, why do people agree to go on reality TV?
