Attempting to re-create the cheetah-fu --

Robin: According to a story in the LA Times this weekend, Cheetahs are themost docile of wild cats. They think this is because their incredible speed means they can get away from anything and so don't need to fight for turf or food or whatever as much. This was illustrated by a photo of a pet cheetah licking his owner.

KristinT: Sharpies can write on ANYTHING.

Steph L.: Even a cheetah.

Sean K: WANT A PET CHEETAH NOW!

KristinT: You could get a discount lion really big stray cat and then draw the cheetah markings with a Sharpie. IJS.

beathen: Make sure it's a short hair - otherwise grooming will be a bitch.

Nutty: Sometimes you people scare me.

tommyrot:

Make sure it's a short hair - otherwise grooming will be a bitch.

Long-haired lions are really dogs?

Gudanov: Really, it's easiest to draw on a cat after it has been shaved.

Betsy HP:

This was illustrated by a photo of a pet cheetah licking his owner.

It was trying to decide which wine to order.

ita: Or checking to see if he was ripe yet.

Steph L.: Or fully cooked.

DXMachina: And it was thinking, "Run. Go ahead. Make my day."

sarameg: My brother once tried coloring our siamese with a red sharpie so she could be an imperial guard (from one of the star wars things.) Poor thing had red blotches for months.

tommyrot: For some reason this makes me laugh muchly....

I mean, coloring a cat to look like Vader makes more sense.... why an imperial guard?

Sean K: Those guys were always so intriguing to me. Just how bad ass were they that they were selected for the Emperor's personal guard? What deadly secrets were hidden under those red robes? Why the funky long helmet that would seem to preclude head-turning?

Gudanov: Find out in the video "Imperial Guards Gone Wild!"

Steph L.: Eyes in the back of their heads, yo.

Sean K: See! So many unanswered questions.

tommyrot: For all we know, there could be cheetahs in those costumes.

Sean K: Cheetahs who can't turn their heads.

Gudanov: You know, there is just a TV series just waiting for Joss, "Nutty The Cheetah Slayer".

tommyrot: I'm thinking a sitcom about a family of cheetahs. Being raised by a single mom cheetah. Who works as an Imperial Guard for the Emporer.

In the pilot: the cheetah kittens get into mom's Sharpies....

Cheetah:

Cheetahs who can't turn their heads.

Like we need to. Pffft.

ita: IIRC, cheetahs find prey by sight, not smell, so if you did remove their ability to look around, Nutty might just get the advantage.

tommyrot: Cats in general have a wider field of view than dogs or humans.

Nutty: So, the secret to my winning is to make all the cheetahs wear blindfolds or blinkers. Check.

Teppy in B'crazy: (context? but why?)

"Oh, I've been through the desert on a freak with no name...."

Ah, I can say I knew her when she was loudly claiming to be the vanilla-est.

In Natter:

Nilly: OK, in what ways does a trash talkin' penguin's wave different than a regular penguin wave?

tommyrot: The wave is the same, except its expression is, "OK, normally I'm too cool to wave, but for Nilly I'll make an exception."

Plus the penguin is wearing sunglasses.

In Natter, on TS Eliot porn:

Trudy Booth: The Love Dong of J. Alfred Prufrock

bwahahahaha

In Natter:

ita:
There's a dirty sippy cup in the kitchen at work.

This distresses me more than I was expecting.

tommyrot: Stupid babies never do their dishes.

sarameg: Coworkers are slobs? Dirty sippy cups beat up your sister when you were wee? You fear someone is hiding a toddler in their cubicle?

ita: Two out of three. The remaining one would make me giggle.

tommyrot: You fear the ceiling is infested with toddlers, and that one could come crashing through the ceiling tiles at any moment?

ita: Great. I'm not getting any more work done today.

sarameg: No, they are living in the file cabinets, waiting for an unsuspecting ita to pass by, at which point they will LEAP from their hideaways, drooling, and start gumming her knees.

Sean K:

You fear the ceiling is infested with toddlers, and that one could come crashing through the ceiling tiles at any moment?

"THREE meters!"

"That's impossible, that's inside the room!"

tommyrot: Game over, man!

connie neil: And faintly, you can hear them giggling.

KristinT: Oh my. I just laughed myself silly over the image of toddlers falling through ceiling tiles onto ita's desk.

ita: That's it. I need to go home. This place is looking more and more dangerous by the second.

In Buffy and Angel:

Betsy HP: Bai Ling is going to bare all in Playboy.

P.M. Marcontell: And this differs from her usual level of dressed how?

ita: The airbrushing.

The way cool Billytea:

I like vampire bats. They're probably the most social of all bats. Living as they do on blood, their food supply is more variable than most bats (insects are a lot easier to come by). Pretty much every night, there'll be some bats returning to the cave with an empty tummy. When this happens, the other bats will regurgitate some blood for the unlucky ones, who will live to see another sunset, sustained by the Puke of the Damned.

DebetEsse: Hey, I want to be able to control the tv with my brain.

amych: Yeah. Sounds so much cooler than when it goes the other way.

erika: All I know is that Lilah made my Kinsey move.

Aimée: Move? Lilah made my Kinsey stand up and say "Fuck this".
