UPDATED: Tell me a cat wearing a sandwich board wouldn’t be entertaining. You can’t.

August 26, 2008

in Good Mom/Bad Mom...why aren't you reading it now?, Post that people who don't twitter won't get, Random crap, bizarre, blogging about blogging again, mixing medications, phoning it in

I was going to post this post over here but I couldn’t because I think it’s against my blogher ad contract so instead I posted it here but I had to delete all the curse words because it goes against the Chronicle’s terms of service.  Also, my font is too small here and I can’t fix it and my “upload image” button is wonky and my kid jumped on my laptop and broke it.  And people on twitter keep changing their icons and then I don’t know who they are anymore and a lot of them don’t even have icons right now, like Maggie Mason who just shows up with a tiny red X where her face should be and I always want to ask her if she’s okay and then I remind myself that the red x is a sign of technical problems and not actually some sort of mood ring.  It’s moments like this that I want to quit blogging and twittering and instead find a less complicated way to communicate with the world.  Like throwing leaflets off my roof, or tattooing random thoughts on stray cats.  Except I’d have to shave the cats first to tattoo them, and when their fur grew back you wouldn’t be able to see the post I’d written on them any more, which would totally suck.  So really I’d need to tattoo those hairless, sphinx cats except that their wrinkles would probably cover up my writing when they sat down, and where I wrote “I’d pummel Hitler with rocks!” it would just come out “Hitler rocks!” and then all these hairless, suspected nazi cats would get shot and then later the gunmen would examine the body and actually see that they were mistaken and they’d have to live with the guilt of killing an innocent cat who did not think Hitler rocked at all.  So to keep the cats safe I’d have to make little sandwich boards for them to wear around with my posts written on them.  It’d be hard to comment on though and there would be no spam control so probably by the time you found one of my stray, sandwich-board cat posts it would be covered with badly scrawled viagra adverts.  Fuck.  Never mind.  I’ll just keep blogging.

PS.  Whenever I talk about hairless cats for some reason I always inadvertantly call them ”skinless cats”.  If I had a nickel for every time I told someone I wished I had a skinless cat I’d probably have 80 cents.  I usually I realize that I said it wrong about five minutes after whoever I was talking to has left to tell other people that I want to skin cats.  No one ever lets me babysit their cats. 

PPS. I fixed my wonky “upload image” button.  Yay?

ImageChef.com - Custom comment codes for MySpace, Hi5, Friendster and more

PPS.  I just noticed that on the “More from Blogher” box it now has my post “Tell me a cat wearing a sandwich board wouldn’t be entertaining” immediately followed by “Why don’t you get a cat from the shelter?”  Which is weird and kind of insulting.  Because yeah, it’s not like I’m going to steal house cats to tattoo them and then throw them back into the window of their homes.  That would be insane.  And also, a horrible waste of a tattooed cat.  The mass public is not going to be able to see a tattooed indoor cat, Blogher.  Think.

Also, I would insert a picture here of the ”More from Blogher” graphic but my “upload image” button isn’t working again.  Why?  No fucking idea.  Probably because I ate a pickle or sneezed incorrectly. 

Comment of the day: My cat ate an iguana yesterday, which has me thinking… Maybe you could write your posts with a Sharpie on iguanas. Iguanas shed/molt quite often.The iguana could scoot around town promoting your post, then shed and leave it like a Post Secret for someone to find – then you can reuse the same iguana for a new post. Bonus – the iguana will now be bigger and able to hold a longer post. The iguana my cat ate would have only been big enough to write a very short post like “Giant Squids are %&*#@ scary.” or “Nice kitty. Please don’t eat me.” ~ Vamanos

You could tatoo the cats with a disclaimer that reads “The tatoo on this cat does not necessarily represent the views of this cat.” Thereby sparing the cat from any legal or lethal action against it.

23 MommyTime August 26, 2008 at 8:31 am

Your graphic is brilliant. It could almost be a blog in itself “posts that would look way better on a cat.”

And, having read that other post, can I just say, that if you are compiling a list of other bloggers whom PR people should “not” contact, to hand over to the PR people who are swarming you in droves ever since you told them they’d be crazy to contact you, then I should “not” be on that list… oh, crap, whatever, too many double negatives and scare quotes, so that now even I’m confused. Bottom line: I’ll take your sloppy seconds of PR gigs if you need a place to throw them. I swear I’ll write something that will look at least as good as something that you’d write to put on a cat.

If it’s wrong to trust the opinion of someone who wants to tattoo skinless cats, then I don’t wanna be right.

You can use my cat for your tats. She’s not hairless but if you want I’ll get her waxed. She’s kinda bitchy and mean to me and horks on my carpet all the time. Also, I think she may be having an affair with my husband.

My doctor thinks my issues are out of the realm of his expertise, too. I think it’s because he’s a dumb fuck. He may ALSO be having an affair with my cat. She’s a bitch like that. Turning the world against me.

32 The Introvert August 26, 2008 at 9:12 am

Why not use henna tattoos on the cats instead? That way you can use the same cat more than once. Otherwise, you have only one shot to get the message right, and if you misspell something or change your mind, you’re screwed; you have to throw that cat away and get another. If the message is temporary, you can recycle the cat. And isn’t that what PETA would want?

No need to return them to me, they are old (10 years each) and could do some hard time on the streets of Houston with either a Sandwich Board (although they might eat it) or a tattoo.

Just snorted coffee up my nose. Which is what happens when I think of you tattooing skinless cats…damn…hairless cats…and you walking around in a sandwich board.

Also. Side note. I want to get a tattoo above my pubic line with an arrow pointing down wards and the words ‘Boo’s Bitch” over top. But I know every time I sit down my mommy tummy/muffin top would fold over and all anyone would see is the word Bitch and there is just no humour in that. Because everyone knows I’m a bitch and why in heaven’s name would I need to tattoo myself with that.

Or everytime Boo looked at it while I was sitting down he’d think I was calling Him a bitch instead of knowing that I was marking my honeypot in his honour and I’d never get laid again.

So I haven’t got that tattoo.

Even though my hairless pussy would really look cute with it.

Wink.

Then the pig turned around to the farmer and said, “can I have the cat’s skin/hair when you’re done because it’s bitch cold in winter if you’re paralysed and can’t run to the beach” and then they ate him with eggs.

Happily ever after!

Except he wasn’t really dead – he was just pretending because kids might read this in which case the cat and the pig lived happily ever after with the cat pitching the Bloggess’ ideas to street vendours while the pig got eaten.

Shit.

No he didn’t. He’s fine. Really. Babe rocks – he’d totally kick the farmer’s ass.

Actually, instead of tattooing your posts on just snakes, you could tattoo them on snakes AFTER they’ve eaten a cat. I realize it’s drastic and time consuming, because I think snakes are slow eaters, but still, it’s a thought. Granted, a creepy one, but I’ve had a bad day, so cats pay the price.

My grandpa is one of those people who always says things like, “There’s more than one way to skin a cat.” And then once, he said that, and then he turned to me and said, “Do you know it’s actually REALLY hard to skin a cat? When I was growing up in Cleveland if you caught stray cats and skinned them, the local glove factory would buy the fur to line their ladies’ gloves. But you know what? They’re not like rabbits; their skin almost never comes off in one clean piece.”
That sorta killed that saying for me.

There’s a bunch here. http://www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com/cgi-bin/seigmiaow.pl

Oh ! Even better idea. When you invite the 4990 people ahead of you on technorati over for a poisoned dinner, and they ask what to bring, tell them a cat that looks like Hitler. Now you’ve killed 3 cats with one stone.

You MUST keep blogging, because otherwise, you’d only have homeless people in your area as fans. OR, you’d have to ship the cats out to other locations and shipping animals is a big pain in the ass right now.

Also? I just love how your mind works!

Sandwich boards will never work. I only notice the hapless schmuck wearing the sandwich board. I never read the sandwich board, much less patronize the sandwich board slave-driver that has hired these half-wits to walk around with a couple of slabs of plywood strapped to his back. Your message would be somewhat lost if no one read it and it was schlepped around by a half-wit or a hairless skinless cat that draws the reader’s eye away from the SANBORLOG (sandwich board log). I think it would be better if you just threw fliers off of your roof. That way I could drive my kids by your house and show them what drugs do to people.

Given how funny it is to put anything on a cat (peanut butter, doll clothes, hats, tape, hair clips), I think sandwich boards would be hilarious. And before everybody freaks out, my cats are spoiled rotten and insist on spending all of their time sitting on me. Trust me here, they’re not abused, but everyone needs tormenting every once in a while. I would do the same thing to my nephew if he lived here.

I think tattoo-ing cats and other creatures is a great idea! Maybe pigeons too? Or squirrels?

101 Jennifer August 26, 2008 at 9:34 pm

Seriously, why tattoo anything? Why not just write your blog on a streamer and attach it to the leg of a bird. Much like those planes that advertise across the beach, the birdie would just fly around and everybody would see your message! Well, until it gets to a birdbath. Or a fountain. Stay away from ducks. Hmmm, you’ll need a bird that’s afraid of the water….

We had a white Siamese cat named Jose in college. I lived in the basement and my friend Paige lived on the second floor. When she was too lazy to come talk to me, she’d write messages on him with highlighter and send him down to me. Poor cat. That might have been worse than all those Jello shots we fed him or how we tied him up outside on a leash… hmm…

Your bloggessness,

I have decided that I would allow you to babysit for Stuart (my cat), if he needed babysitting, which of course he does not as he is my babysitter.

He is, however, looking for an olympic swimming coach. I’m not sure what your credentials are but I’m guessing you’d be a good fit. Stuart is not hairless, but his white fur often prompts visitors to call him Mr. Bigelsworth. Anyway, in exchange for the lessons, perhaps Stuart could promote your posts, if not on his body, then perhaps on the lycra union suits he will wear in London in 2012.

Please help him defeat Mike Phelps?
