Hmmm. Don't feel particulary bitter toward Scarlett J for being a crappy driver... or having a crappy driving day. Been there, done that, and with nary a photographer in sight to contribute to my bad lack of braking choice. I felt horrible about the people in the car I hit. Thank goodness no one was really hurt. Uhg. I still feel crappy about it, and it was twenty years ago (and they sued me for a million dollars! Even though no one was hurt!! Which they did not get. Settled out of court for a comparative pittance paid by the insurance company). Probably would have felt just as bad even if I'd had a shiny new car pick me up from the scene.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In non-car accident news, I have to tell a story about my cat. He keeps going into my closet, and I don't want him to. But not enough to get up and shut the door all the way, apparently. Anyway. I can yell "no!", I can yell his name, he just blows me off. I make kissy face noises? He runs right out. Like 6 times in a row. OK, he just went to go back in again, and blew off the kissy face noises, but still came when I patted my leg. Dopey cat.

Homer is training you to make kissy face noises. With the occassional leg pat. Tricky.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kissy face noises are exactly how you're supposed to call cats.

But wouldn't you think a generic loud yell would at least make him look? Not at all.

For that you need a dog.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Why do all cats answer to "here kitty, kitty, kitty"? I think it's just weird.

Well, someone would need a dog. I can't deal with the maintenance.

It's got to be the cadence and high pitch and whatnot. Like with pig calling. Soo-EE! pigpigpig.

Which I'd then have to maintain. See what I'm saying?
