Heh...I don't have a PhD and can no longer drink alcohol (too many meds) but
you sound like my kinda folks. "Kreisleriana" wrote in message news : On Tue, 04 May 2004 20:24:36 GMT, "Hopitus2" : yodeled: : : ROFL! Now, that's *my* reaction...but Theresa, you can't be a redneck like : me because you are from Brooklyn, NY (stereotype) but since we'd do the same : thing in that situation, what stereotype would fit our description? : "Short-fused"? "Cat-crazy, hair-trigger temper"? : LOL. Tak is a man of admirable restraint, which I for one lack. : : : Well, I am from Brooklyn, am Irish and Sicilian, and I have a Ph.D. : This makes me abstracted and wooly-headed, say "dese" "dem" and : "dose," drink a lot, and whack people. : : : Theresa : alt.tv.frasier FAQ: http://www.im-listening.net/FAQ/ : : Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal : claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful. : (Aldous Huxley) |

By the way, the only stereotype of Japanese I roll my eyes @ is that tv cooking show, "Iron Chef", of which Yowie is so fond. Do you ever watch it? If so, I bet you'd probably be ROFL @ the translations given of what the "judges" are remarking re the final contestant dishes they're sampling onscreen. I don't speak a word of Japanese except "arigato" and it looks contrived and phony to me, just by their expressions. Sure learned a lot about Japanese delicacies during the cooking (extreme closeups) processes. Suz likes that show too! I've also watched several episodes, and I've probably drooled more often than ROFL watching them. Except for that time they made cod spooge ice cream. |

I think it's mean to whack people, especially if your paddles don't have any foam rubber padding on them. However, I like the idea of having a Ph.D. I think we have a couple of those here (not me though, I am an H.S.G., or high school graduate). Victor's one, and there's some kind of prophesy that Marina will enter a doctorate program someday. What's yours in? |

Loved this story! Thank you for the smile!
Christine "TBird" wrote in message ink.net... From the time Joe was a kitten, the instant he met my Honey, he climbed right up on Honey's chest, made himself comfy, and went to sleep. Now that we all live together, Joe spends his morning following Honey around like a big dog. So half the time we call him "The Labrador". He will bust through doors to get at my Honey. Which is why, the other half of the time, we call him "Battle Cat". When Honey gets home from work, if he sits on the couch, Joe immediately gets right up there with/on Honey and settles in, purring madly. Honey has never fed this cat, nor given him water, nor in anyway encouraged this cat to fall madly in love with him. But we all know how cats are. And we all know how "men who prefer dogs" are when faced with cats who claim them. So there you have Joe, on Honey's chest purring his life away, and Honey saying, "What have I ever done to deserve this cat?", calling Joe a PITA, and generally shaking his head each time Joe pulls a ... well, a Joe. (That is to say, sprawls on his back with his legs spread, or leaps into our spot the moment we get up for a glass of water, or tries to jump on something he can't actually hoist his bulk onto.) Heaven forbid Joe go do something on his own, however, if Honey is on the couch watching TV. It may take a half hour, but eventually Honey will look around, stunned, and demand, "WHERE'S MY LABRADOR!???". And Joe will saunter in from wherever and take up residence on whatever part of Honey looks the most comfortable for himself, and the least comfortable for Honey. And Honey will grumble about what a pain in the ass Joe is all the while giving him scritches and pets. TBird ---- it's our own purrsonal circus |
