Desk Greeblings
Mark Edwards wrote:
So I'm sitting at my desk, watching one of the fourth season Highlander DVDs on my PC. Buster is in my lap, lying on his back. I am rubbing his tummy. All of a sudden, there is an invasion of greeblings on the underside of the desk, against which Buster valiantly defends. I tap on the top of the desk, hoping to knock loose some of these greeblings, and Buster goes into overdrive. Seeing that he is exposing his tummy, I place my hand over his tummy to protect it from the desk greeblings, just in case. At last, Buster has finished with the greeblings, and demands his hero's reward - he grabs my other hand and, with a nip and a few pointy claws, insists that I skritch his head and ears. He also sees the shopping list I have just set down, and grabs it, rabbit-kicking it into submission as well. I'm reasonably sure that he wrote down salmon, tuna and liver on the list, while it was in his posession... Buster is such a good boy. I had no idea there were greeblings on the underside of my desktop.

But I suspect those greeblings are the cause of things that go wrong in the morning when they are getting ready for work - like the alarm clock didn't go off; hot water runs out in the shower/bathtub; mismatched socks (or one sock simply MIA); runs in pantyhose. And in the evenings, they are responsible for burned or just plain bad dinners; telemarketing calls during dinner; electrical failures; your favourite television show being pre-empted for weather reports, etc. Jill |

For as we all know, petting kitties lowers blood pressure. Katz |

I'm going to postulate that greeblings are related to aircraft gremlins--the odd things causing stuff to break/malfunction on aircraft for no apparent reason. Ships haven't got gremlins because ships, in the old days, carried cats...to defend against rats AND greeblings/gremlins both. Central Region Gliding School no doubt has a gremlin infestation now that Smokey lives with me. --Fil |

Too true, I suspect. I just asked Dennis why all that stuff still happens to us, even though we have a cat. He said it's because our cat doesn't do his job. He never chases greeblings, he's too obsessed with lizards. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album |
