I thunk you myte giggle at this hyar too.

[packrat35]

I have found a .22 rifle solves the problem quicker and cheaper too. Cats are not an endangered species.

[Khepera]

I prefer women thank you.

[Khepera]

I'm speechless!

[Sungirl]

Well aren't you the model citizen. What a man! Such character...such a heart and soul...such caring intelligent compassion...your wife is so lucky.

I hope you shoot the wrong cat one day....one someone owns.
Someone like me.

[Dakmar]

Absolutely speechless here too. I wish I had put up a dollar for every minute the Burroughs quote was here. My CD player just clicked over to "Big Rock Candy Mountain", lol.

[palmer]

I hope you're a good shot. I inherited a cat with a .22 bullet in its leg, not pretty but it recovered. If you shoot any of my cats it better be quick and clean.

[galt-jw]

...feed the rats to the cats, and the cats to the rats, and get the cat skins for nothing....

Husker Du, "How to Skin a Cat"

[tictoc]

Pretty good. Do you write your own material?

[Dakmar]

I wish, LOL. That passage was entirely W.S.Burroughs. I just pasted it.

[S.O.S121.500]

"I say the trap, neuter and release programs for feral cats, where available, is a good plan--but just feeding them so they can make more sick and starving cats doesn't work for me.

Only if YOU feed/doctor them and IF you BELL them out of consideration for the rest of G_d's small creatures.....ONLY THEN-maybe.

[shaggy eel]

,,, a cat thread. Ummm, yeah. I'll just get some thoughts together for this one.

[Khepera]

I didn't know you wore pasties?

[Dakmar]

That's "pastries" you fool! ;^)

[Khepera]

Oh, my mistake. So thats why the lumps under your shirt!

[shaggy eel]

I hope you shoot the wrong cat one day....one someone owns. Someone like me.

,,, am I to understand from this that there are right and wrong cats to shoot?

[Dakmar]

Oh death
Oh death
Won't you spare me over til another year

Well what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands taking hold of me
Well I am death none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell

Whoa death someone would pray
Could you wait to call me til another day
The children pray the preacher preached
Time and mercy is out of your reach

I'll fix your feet til you can't walk
I'll lock your jaw til you can't talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very hour come and go with me

In death I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To drop the flesh off of the frame
The earth and worms both have a claim

Oh death
Oh death
Won't you spare me over til another year

My mother came to my bed
Place a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm my feet are cold
Death is a movin upon my soul

Oh death how you're treatin me
You close my eyes so I can't see
Well you're hurtin my body you make me cold
You run my life right out of my soul

Oh death please consider my age
Please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command
If you'll remove your icy hands

Oh the young the rich or poor
All alike to me you know
No wealth no land no silver or gold
Nothin satisfies my but your soul

Oh death
Oh death
Won't you spare me over til another year
Won't you spare me over til another year
Won't you spare me over til another year

In the Jailhouse Now

---

I had a friend named Ramblin Bob
He used to steal gamble and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy around
Well I found out last Monday that Bob got locked up Sunday
They'vee got him in the jailhouse way downtown

He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
Well, I told him once or twice to stop playin cards and shootin
dice
He's in the jailhouse now

Bob liked to play his poker
Pinochle whist and euchre
But shootin dice was his favorite game
He got throw'd in jail with nobody to go his bail
The judge done said that he refused to the fine

He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
Well, I told him once or twice to stop playin cards and shootin
dice
He's in the jailhouse now

Well I went out last Tuesday
I met a girl named Suzie
I said I was the swellest guy around
Well we got to spendin my money, and she started to callin me honey
We took in every cabaret in town
We're in the jailhouse now

We're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now
Well I told that judge right to his face, I don't like to see
this place
We're in the jailhouse now

[Khepera]

Send me those in email so I don't lose them.

Angel Band

---

My latest sun is sinking fast
My race is nearly run
My strongest trials now are past
My triumph has begun

Oh come angel band
Come and around me stand
Oh bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home
Oh bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home

Oh bear my longing heart to him
Who bled and died for me
Who's blood now cleanses from all sin
And gives me victory
