David I Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 We got a kitten that had little boot markings on each foot, I wanted to name him "Caligula". My wife said "No f...ing way". So goes great ideas. DavidI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I have a pet spider named Boris. Actually, he's the 14th. pet spider to have carried that name, so I guess he's really Boris XIV. But I just call him Boris for short. He doesn't seem to mind.

J Ruddy Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 One of my cats is named Horus. When he was a kitten he was very fast and agile, he reminded me of a falcon in flight. In hind sight, as he gets older, fatter, lazier and overall less falcon-like the name is getting to be more and more ironic... Poor fat old Horus...

Michael Emrys Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Stop feeding him. Completely. He'll have to hunt mice in order to stay alive, and in order to hunt mice, he'll have to slim down (the easy part if you aren't feeding him) and become faster and more agile. I never feed Boris, nor did I ever feed any of his predecessors. They live on what they can catch. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilroy Lurking Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Hehee KIA.. What does erudition mean? A 'wind-up" or red herring if I ever saw one.... On the topic of Pussies I have a cat called Lucy - aptly named as she is attracted/addicted to running water and is wont to perch atop of the white man's well.. A few years ago we had a semi Siamese of amost irritating disposition - always in the wrong place at the wrong time, closed doors and walls were no barrier to him so he was called Pixel.... ...a name he resisted acknowledging (He came to us from out of the blue). In fact I am sure he was of Russian extraction as he most readily answered to "Pissov" especially if rendered in a raised voice. Maybe changing your moniker to "Pissov Thelotofu" would set the tone for your posts nicely for some of your recipients. David PS Steve if you are lurking out there in the electronic ether - I think its high time for an Announcement if only to curb some of these threads - I don't Believe I've spent time going through this lot...

V Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Originally posted by Tagwyn: Michael: I agree with you completely!! Your comments mirror my own study and the views of my father, a vet from the war with the Germans. The Southern states were in rebellion aginst their country, the USA. They fought hard but deserved in spades what they got. They accepted the federal govenment when they voted for the Constitution. There was/is no moral right to what they were doing to their fellow men. Tag Hmm, so once a state joins the Union it is bound to it for eternity, no matter what the Federal government were to do?

Canada Guy Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Yes, I agree but what is one to do besides talking about normal life. I am sure there will be little of that as it is once CMx2 is released. I had a cat named Nero that used to meow by the bed until we let him out to relieve himself. Then climb on to our screen door (when it was -20C) and wack his bum against the door until we let him back in. Now that is consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about it, I think! I shouldn't tease, my best friend thinks Saskatoon is the greatest city in western Canada. Of course, the Army made him live in Edmonton, so one can hardly blame him.

Canada Guy Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Saskatoon is a great city, especially if you are raising kids. I like Edmonton too though. The strange thing is, I have lived in New York, Hong Kong and Japan (Marugame City) and always seem to come back to Saskatoon. With 220,000 people it still in some ways has that smallish charm but you can still go to your local EB Games outlet and pick up what you need. I guess with internet shopping and flights to Europe for $450 return, the world is so small that you can live anywhere and still experience everything. I mean, come on, 20 years ago, I would never have ever heard of any of you chaps and finding an opponent to play games with was a very difficult experience. Now it would take me less than 15 minutes to find someone to play CMx1 with. What the heck will my kids experience when they play someone in CMx4 in 20 years??
