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.


Hugs and Purrs,
Mark

We have no greebling on our desk - Mimi sleeps on my desktop and skwishes
them all!

How do people who don't have cats control their greebling populations?

They don't even know they have them. 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.

I'm curious - are desk greeblinz similar to bathtub greeblinz?

And certainly for high blood pressure. For as we all know, petting
kitties lowers blood pressure.

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.

ROFL! 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.
