Re: 722: Thank you for my first lol of the day!
You're very welcome. I'm still chuckling about it hours later. When I first saw the cat in the smoky back room forum thread, it was right after a post of a captioned and horrific photo of Helen Thomas. My reaction had been the same as the cat's, and the post delivery timing and image content was among the most perfectly executed that I've ever read at FR. Definitely a homer, as posts go.
Tax-chick: Thanks for introducing (#724) a vacuum cleaner into an equation already involving Helen Thomas, a freaked out cat, and a back story that called for a "MAKE IT STOP" caption. Now I need brain bleach.
