i'm so very sorry. as with this huge wonkitty thread, my cats are my joy and it's so very hard to say good-bye.

my avatar is my fuflans who died in 2008 (also suddenly: age nine, liver cancer). his loss knocked me out for over a year.

on the plus side, time does heal and we now have a (maine coon) delight who is DEFINITELY his spiritual heir.

hang in there.

The drink-upsetting figure 8s around the ankles are still my favorite.

I was downfisted for THAT?

Dang!

Now I'll NEVER make 100-p.

When my own relatives have forced me to watch home movies and slideshows of their vacations, never once did they ask for donations at the end.

Never once.

One think she learned from What-the-L Michele - ask for money every time you turn around.

Hmmm... The only theory I can come up with is then Skipper would start coming to one of the other characters for his abusive chokey-time buttsecks. You know it had to be going on.

So, let's see, this is going to take a lot of work, like oh so much wax on a certain little buddy's poopdeck...

Um, so, allegorically, the Koch-type Republicans (the scheme-hatching, farther-sighted, wealthy, more rational ones, symbolize the rest of the castaways here) allow Palin (symbolized by Gilligan, the complete idiot) to live on, which keeps the Tea Baggers (symbolized by a rapey Skipper) distracted and/or sated. If they were left to their own devices, The Baggers might start storming in and upset all their Kochtastic plans ...?

I couldn't resist the lol. Wonkitties is my new favorite word.

"Americans for Prosperity" has announced: "This week, from America's heartland in Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri, AFP Foundation launched our Running on Empty Tour."

Personally, I would say "Running on Empty" is an apt description of the GNoP field of Presidential candidates.

You guys rock. I wasn't looking for an outpouring of sympathy...I just wanted to rip on that ridiculous harridan. Now I feel kind of bad, but good too seeing all of your kind words. It really helps with the grieving. Buddy was a lovable knucklehead and I didn't have him long enough.

Sarah is still a shrieking harpy, though.
