"No matter how much cats fight, there always seems to be plenty of kittens."
--Abraham Lincoln

"If we treated everyone we meet with the same affection we bestow upon our
favorite cat, they, too, would purr."
--Martin Buxbaum

"We need a word for all the kitty-prints that are all over my windshield
because the cats like to lie on my hood when the car is still warm."
--Megan Coughlin

"When I play with my cat, how do I know that she is not passing time with me

--Montaigne

"After scolding one's cat one looks into its face and is seized by the ugly
suspicion that it understood every word. And has filed it for reference."

--Missy Dizick

"There is, incidentally, no way of talking about cats that enables one to
come off as a sane person." --Dan Greenberg

"Cats can be cooperative when something feels good, which, to a cat, is the

"By and large, people who enjoy teaching animals to roll over will find
themselves happier with a dog."
--Barbara Holland

"Cats are the ultimate narcissists. You can tell this by all the time they

It's Father's Day Alan, I'm sure you're getting lots of hugs from your kids.

I woke up early, thought about driving to my parents house and making my dad
breakfast in bed... then I came to my senses, yawned and went back to sleep.

So you can kick them, but you can't beat them? How much difference is
there, really, between the two?

Well, if you'd learn some patience, you'll get your kick when it's
your turn.

And not before.

Who was Bailey?

I seem to recall a brunette who worked there, and wore some glasses.
Was that her?

Or was it the blonde Loni Anderson?


(I haven't seen the show in 5+ years [it was a 5th or 6th repeat in
the "noone's watching - they're all still driving home/preparing
dinner to be interested" dead time around 4:30-5:30 timeframe])

<greg>

Lucky you. All we mere mortals could do was watch her on the TV - you
got to see her.

</greg>

(Okay - that's not how Greg would've said it. I'm not _that_ far back
in the gene pool. Sorry)
