My mother, cats, and Sir Spectre

Sat Oct 25, 2003 3:08 am by Warlord Bob

You know when you are walking/driving around and you see a cat going about its buisness? Ya know, crossing a street or parking lot, lounging in its yard, running away from you and your dog

. Well, my mother has this interesting habit of naming these cats.

The black one at the bank is "Zambo" and the siamese at my uncles place is like "ambrosia" or somthing. You get the picture.

Now, my mother is enticed on ocasion (by me) to look at some of the more interesting goings on, such as the helpdesk horrors, funnies thread, or Sir Spectre's plays

Today, we were prowling my old school (my sister had to go play with the middle school orchestra) and in the dark (it was like 8:30) we spotter (you guessed it) a kitty! This was a particularly elusive kitty, and all I know about it (gathered from ocasional glimpses) was that it had rather short legs for a kitty and was quite plump (perhaps the legs were burried in fat?

)

My mother proceded to name it............ Sir Spectre

If you find an evil psycho kitty that looks like it made a fortune, tell your mom to call it Jim Groovester for me, eh?

Congrats to Sir Spectre, for his recent induction into the feline world.

Sir Spectre is now a cat. I wonder if he'll write a play about that.

The Arrogent Worms wrote a song about Shakespear in a cat...

Thanks for the spelling correction, it has been edited.

you're mum reads this? we'd better cut out the bad language then!

Gotcha Taw. Me and other mods will start deleting all your posts then...

Short legs? Plump? Maybe the kitty was pregnant? Now, that'd be a blow to Sir Spectre!

Just remember...if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.

at last! btw Operation Blue Spoon (or whatever the TLR Global Control mainframe called it) will commence soon.

btw, i actually do try to cut out the bad language but IRL almost everything i say consists of swearing so it's really difficult! i get carried away with that stream-of-consciousness mallarkey. on TLR i'm really quite restrained in comparison. but I'll try to do better FF.

No worries guys, I censor what she sees

And as long as there is a * in there somewhere it's not really swearing now is it

And wtf is operation blue spoon?

@WLB

Pretty cool Dude. Don't know how many other Mom's get involved like that.

My guess is that Sir Spec won't get too bent out of shape. Since he's a writer out there in La-La land, I am pretty sure he is a believer in an old show-business saying: "There's no such thing as bad publicity."

I wasn´t berating you in any shape or form, Taw. I stated that jestfully! it´s funny coz it´s true, that´s it

I want this to be known for the record, I have never had any relationship with that cat or your mother!

Also, this is #5.

@RILMS & freighter fighter, you are both wrong. While some old playbills do have the spelling Shakespear, most of them were spelled Shakespeare. Thus the others were most likely misprints.

@freighter fighter, "the very heavens shall be rent asunder

" That's a great line!

@Tawakalna, "you're mum reads this? we'd better cut out the bad language then!" Think about The Taming of the Psycho in the end when they're all screaming profanities at each other! I wonder if Warlord Bob is going to be able to keep visiting this site, like how Wolf Demon's parents are threatening to intervene in his internet usage.

@Zlo, "Short legs? Plump? Maybe the kitty was pregnant? Now, that'd be a blow to Sir Spectre!

" Please Zlo, don't use 'legs,' 'plump,' 'kitty,' 'pregnant' and 'blow' in one statement with reference to me.

@Warlord Bob, "No worries guys, I censor what she sees

And as long as there is a * in there somewhere it's not really swearing now is it?

" That's irony, offspring censoring materials for the parents!

@Indy11, "Pretty cool Dude. Don't know how many other Mom's get involved like that." Yeah, it worries me.

Also, Indy 11:

La-La land? I'm very much grounded to reality and it's contrary natural parallel dimensions taboot! I live my days in languous saffron scents and pastel colors without a mere thought of the toils of sanity. Who here doesn't?

Sir Spectre

Like Master Yoda's speak, Olde English is, yes? Hehmmmmhaha!

y I picked up the humour, FF, it's just that there's so many pre-teens here now I'm starting to feel self-conscious of my cussing, some of them are younger than my daughter and about the same age as my son. it's easy to feel like ur writing stuff that will be read by your peers or at least people with the same kind of interests and outlook on life, if not the same sort of experiences, but suddenly realising I'm in a discussion with a 10yr old? freaks me out a bit, to tell the truth, esp. if their mums and dads are reading it with them. Sorry to all the mums and dads, i'm a parent myself (not a terribly responsible one though!)

Helpdesk Horrors is going to have to be seriously re-edited, I just don't want to lose the impact by toning it down too much, it is largely verbatim.

@bob, ur mother sounds disturbingly like my old dear in her latter days. she had cats and also semi-adopted other peoples cats, like a self-styled feline Mother Theresa. she used to send me birthday and christmas cards from the cats with "meow meow" written inside. whatever; seemed to make her happy. she also gave my cars names, always girls, usually really stupid names. i had an Audi 2.8i Quattro coupé, she referred to it as Priscilla (she even said "dont drive so fast ur really hurting Priscilla" when I was doing 153mph down the M66 at 3am) Does any of this sound familiar, WB? these women are NOT right. this is the same woman who during a power cut said "well the electricity must be ok because the bus has its lights on......"

{and Peter Kay STOLE that story from ME after his show at the Wheatsheaf, Stoke, in 1997!}
