If I was up there, my cats would laugh until they puked.

Why doesn't President George W Bush do anything about this?

what president Bush knew and when

Are people really that dense? You don't the DJ booth on the exterior of a building and you sure don't open the windows. DJ booths hate noise. Dumb people out there.

the power of radio,rush pulled some good pranks before.

Sounds like more fun than trolling for cats.

[Texas Eagle]

Heyyyyyyy.....this gives me an idea on how to keep my neighbors cat out of our garden.

Heeeeere, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty......

cat dumb dumb

...if there was a cat, they are not going to tell.

I hope I don't stay up all night wondering if there really is a cat. I'm not even dsclesyk.

"How many balloons would it take to float Hillary ..."

None, just a broom.

[unspun]

Hmm....

And how long have you been waiting for this moment?

[IronJack]

how many balloons would it take to lift Orson Welles off the ground?

Just one: the Hindenburg.

(I know the Hindenburg was a dirigible, but humor allows some license.)

Hmmmmmm

Reminds me of the books . . . 101 uses for a dead cat etc.

Nice to know they can be ballast for balloons.

Some dogs find some of the tougher ones nice teething toys, too.

I wonder if the medical profession still has uses for cat gut?

Then there's those fun toys the CATapults. What did they CATapult over castle walls anyway--cats with a small bundle of straw tied to their tales and set aflame? That would have been very enlightening to thatch huts!


Then there's that fun game many dogs love--CATHER BALL--a cat tied to a rope that doesn't quite reach the ground and is tied to the top of a tall pole.

Perhaps there's an Aussie who could answer a curiosity. Do rabbits or cats make better shark bait?

Then there's the head office of a big city fire department--with a hallowed fountain in honor of so many of their calls. It's composed of 9 fire hose nozzels shooting great streams of watter perfectly verticle--at the tops of which are not balls--but 9 very wet tabbys wondering how long their 9 lives will last and whether all of them will be so wet.

---

And no, none of the above is true--at least--not in my experience. 'Tis just to give the cat lovers a tweak. I actually enjoy cats on occasion--as long as the allergy meds are stoked up.

I've NEVER tied two cats together and tossed them over a clothes line. But I've always had very vivid images of the probable outcome were someone to do such.

[Quix]

It's amazing when they gather enough sense to detect which way is up vs down!

Oh, yeah. Wild ones are a lot smarter.

[Delta 21]

Google is your friend!

[NonValueAdded]

First mice with parachutes, now floating cats. It's only reasonable to expect a dog to be next.

[Delta 21]

...at least until Bill Gates buys it and screws it all up!!!

[unspun]

And how do you know my friends?

[green team 1999]

I hope I don't stay up all night wondering if there really is a cat

the first american cat in space,aaaahhhhh!

Some station here in Dallas did that with an inflatable sheep.. Apparently for real. It just sat there and was too heavy.
