I have a headache now. But hopefully it's just garden variety, and I'm going to gift it with Aleve and then go abed.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If this thread is the Nice One do we have to mind our P's & Q's , plus stay away from topics that make msbelle blush?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Joe did well at first. But just as the cat had predicted, Joe's flaw was her undoing - after an hour of play, Joe started believing that the pawns were in fact prawns (a peculiar side-effect of Joe's grasp of English leaking into her visual cortex) and began to eat them. Joe was disqualified, and came home in shame.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
if you DO name the kitty don't name him 'pawn'

I think the robot cheated. and the kitty bribed him. Kitty's are cute and wonderful, but most of them are evil.
Ido not know if penguins are evil or if ,like humans, there are just some that are evil masterminds

Jimmy lost interest in playing chess with Joe, and insted took up building model airplanes. Joe grew despondant, and looked to the cat for support. "I love you, Kitty," Joe said in all humility.
"No, you do not love me," said the cat, "you only love my tuna smell. A tuna is something I can never be."
"'Tis true," admitted Joe. "I am sorry for trying to eat you."
"That's OK," replied the cat. "But now you understand why you must leave this place."
"Yes," replied Joe, who packed up her chessboard and chess pieces and left.
Reading comprehension questions:
Why did Joe have to leave?
Why did Joe confuse the smell of tuna for a cat?
Why was the cat's course of action the smartest one?
(note - there are no right or wrong answers.)

Joe left because there was no tuna
Joe confused the smell of tuna fo the cat for 2 reasons:
1) the cat had no name , so he felt the need to label it and 2) wouldn't you?
the cat's actions - not the wisest ones - because when the cold turkey and tuna hordes unite and rise up to take over the world - who will help hime save the day. Certinly not the dog. Not with a name like Phydeux.
