Wordy Wednesday: Garfield-ian Wisdom

This piece of "news" was sent in an email by Mom's dear friend, Larry:

From the mouth of Garfield the Cat ...

He says,

"A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country.

Well, there's a very simple answer.

Nobody bothered to check the oil.

We just didn't know we were getting low.

The reason for that is purely geographical.

Our OIL is located in Alaska, California, Coastal Florida, Coastal Louisiana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

Our DIPSTICKS are located in Washington, DC!!!"

Any questions???  Didn't think so.


Garfield has summed up MY opinion on the oil crisis here in the good ol' U.S. of A (especially since Mom's been grousing 'bout the fact that gasoline for the black masheen is costin' nearly $4.00 a gallon these days ... an' the black masheen is a gas-sipper!!!) ...

Hey, good-lookin' ... What's YOUR name?

What's YOUR name?

You can click on the link above to see where YOUR name falls on the list of Catster's popular kitty names in 2008.

Catster has a poll of the most popular kitty names for girlies an' boys. 

I had to check to see if the Feline Americans an' I are represented. 

There are at least a SQUILLION girlies named "Daisy" on the poll, but I'm the ONLY one named DaisyMae Maus (naturally).

"Coco" is on the list of popular names, but not Cocoa like our buddy ... or even Cocoa Puff like our furry own Puffy-Stuff.

"Pumpkin" is a ginormously popular name for kitties ... An' that name works whether you're a girl or a boy! An' guess what?!? You don't even have to be a Gorgeous Ginger to have the name "Pumpkin" (but I'm sure that it helps).

There were quite a few cats named "Lucky" featured on the Catster list, but not anyone named "Lucky Charmz" like my pesky little brother. Drat!

An I'm sure that Mr. Fuzzypants is happy to know that he's the only Sparky Fuzzypants anywhere in the known universe. 

Mom wanted us to be pretty unique with our names. I think that she's been furry successful over the years with felines named "Dolly Pop", "Fudge Ripple", an' "Lacey Bunns" ... right?!?

Saturday Photo Hunt #59: DIFFERENT!

DIFFERENT!

The Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt theme for this week is DIFFERENT!

Like most of the felines who make up the Cat Blogosphere, we LOVE Temptations treats an' Fancy Feast (Elegant Medleys Chicken with Egg Soufflé is our favorite flavor) ... But sometimes, the Feline Americans like to change things up and eat something a little DIFFERENT.

Cocoa Puff likes asparagus spears ... an' Charmee and I like julienned green beans.  There's nothin' weird 'bout that, right?  Of course NOT!

However, there are limits to what we'll eat ... we try not to be too DIFFERENT in our culinary experiments.

'Cept for Sparky Fuzzypants:  He's really DIFFERENT!  Check out what he's havin' in his dinner bowl!  Yep ... Mr. Pants is havin' a salad.  The next thing you know, he'll be eatin' QUICHE!

Oh, well ... "Different strokes for different folks" definitely applys to the Feline Americans.
