Cats v. Dogs

Someone emailed this to me. It’s hilarious.

EXCERPTS FROM A DOG’S DAILY DIARY:

Noon- Oh, boy! The kids! My favorite!

1:00 p.m. Oh, boy! The yard! My favorite!

4:00 p.m. Oh, boy! To the park! My favorite!

EXCERPTS FROM A CAT’S DAILY DIARY:

Day 283 of My Captivity: My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another house plant.

Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded; must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair, must try this on their bed.

Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan.

There was some sort of gathering last night of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary confinement throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More importantly, I overheard that my confinement was due to my power of “allergies.” Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant, he speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the high metal room, his safety is assured.

But I can wait, it is only a matter of time ….

Jag-warrr

In the TV commercials for Jaguar cars, there is an American asking, “Honey, should we get the blue Jaguar, or the green one?” She pronounces it “Jagg-war”, as we do. Then the pretentious Brit announcer chimes in about the “JAG-yoo-ar”. God. Gag me.

More Semantic Idiots

Someone just called me to tell me about something that might “pick” (instead of pique) my interest.

Semantic Idiots

People who say “mute” instead of “moot,” as in, “that idea is now mute.”

Also people who say “re-la-tor” instead of “realtor”. Idiots. Idiots. People. I hate ’em. (this latter line is, of course, a take-off of the Outland cartoon where Opus the penguin hears some crotchety old curmudgeon walk by fuming and saying, “Left wingers, I hate ’em!” while Opus looks down at this left wing in bepuzzlement).

The Surprisingly Hot List

Despite their age or surface-level looks, the following women are not hot at first glance, but who are actually kind of sexy if you think about it, in a certain way. Note this list does NOT include obviously hot babes. Only women who are “surprisingly” hot–that is, the fact that they are kind of attractive is kind of surprising:

  • Susan Estrich
  • Martha Stewart
  • Barbara Walters
  • Barbra Streisand
  • Christiane Amanpour
  • Lindsay Wagner
  • Tereza Heinz Kerry
  • Laurie Metcalf (the sister in Roseanne)
  • Allison Janney (from West Wing and also the starfish Peach in Finding Nemo)
  • Jeanine Garofolo
  • Barbara Branden

Now here are women who do not seem hot on first impression–and this impression is correct:

  • Candy Crowley
  • Laura Bush (her daughters are another story)
  • Madeleine Albright
  • Hillary Clinton (Chelsea is another matter altogether. Yes.)
  • Bella Abzug
  • Ayn Rand
  • Gloria Allred
  • Linda Evans
  • Joan Collins
  • Suzanne Somers

Now there are of course many “smokin’ hot” babes who are obviously hot–too obviously hot to be included in the category of “surprisingly hot”:

  • Naomi Wolf
  • Paula Zahn (though some strangely call her “toothy”?)
  • some of the FoxNews and CNN babes: E.D. Hill, Kirin Chetry, Lauren Green, and Soledad O’Brien.

Query: Where does Isabella Rosselini fall? Linda Hamilton? Barbara Eden? Difficult to classify.
