Morning offtopic.
I know I moaned a lot about losing my cat Rupert last week. House felt really weird without a kitty, so I went out and adopted one from the shelter.

Everyone, meet Henry.

Morning Henry.
You've nothing to worry about from me.

I should hope not.
he's currently curled up on my legs.

Well done on getting a proper cat.
I know very little about cats, but those tabbies are the best of all the cats. Why?

They look like mini-tigers. Mini-tigers with prematurely greying hair.

Looks great. How old? Is he affectionate?

(lkjshaglkasjdhglkhjz lkcvl; g;aodh;owih, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 8:52, Reply)

he's a year old, just.
he's lovely and sweet - he's latched onto me and has cuddled me the whole afternoon since I got home from school.
(Poppet some assembly required., Tue 14 Sep 2010, 8:58, Reply)

He looks like quite a hefty kitty for a year old

Nice looking cat.
Mine looked like a black and white shetland pony...

pfft! so a bit on the large side?

(Poppet some assembly required., Tue 14 Sep 2010, 8:58, Reply)

He's a fucking tank.
Just realised I am referring to him in the past tense.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 9:05, Reply)

aha rupert was built like that.
was a skeleton when we got him, and he just got massive.
(Poppet some assembly required., Tue 14 Sep 2010, 9:06, Reply)

Out of the 4 cats we have the heaviest is 7kilos (but isn't fat just big) and the smallest is 3.4 so the big'un is the weight of 2

( girlinthehole, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 9:03, Reply)

he;s wrestling with my hands over the keyboard.
Might just watch some stuff on my laptop and let him settle on me lap.
(Poppet some assembly required., Tue 14 Sep 2010, 9:04, Reply)

and now he's decided for the fifth time that he likes my blanket better.
he's still settling, he only came home today.

Morning otters!
That's a pretty kitty Poppet, I'm jealous.

Although I'm off to Tenerife in a few hours so happy happy joy joy!

Please make sure you all spell my name correctly when talking about me so I can do the Psychochomp patented vanity search when I get home.

Morning Kittie
Just wanted to boast about how I totally poledanced while dressed as a Lego Pirate at the weekend. I managed to hang by my legs upside down for a brief few seconds, before my Lego head fell off, I lost grip (was in jeans), and slammed back first into the ground.

Still, I did better than the Stag...

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 9:49, Reply)

Oh wow that's awesome!
I showed everyone in my office. And told them about the poledancing.
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 9:55, Reply)

The Stag had made 7 identical sets
But we only had time to build 5. Only 2 survived the night, one of which smells like puke.
The lapdancing place wouldn't let us wear them inside. Bastards ruined an awesome photo op.

haha that is so full of fail!
Did you feel empowered?
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 10:11, Reply)

I felt very empowered
There was a hen do watching us, hooting and hollering, but we showed them the power of MEN.

And a pic to show the awesome costumes

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 10:17, Reply)

Are you on the far left?
no wait... far right?

I want to say left because he is doing a little dance but I can't see tattoos.... And the others have pointy shoes....
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 10:19, Reply)

I'm taking the photo...
We swapped around the costumes during the night, as there were 12 of us.

I was blown away by how good they looked
Considering he knocked them up in 4 hours. Still, he does have access to CNC machines, CAD monkeys and tons of plastic...

Totally responsible for the extinction of indigenous Australian wildlife, right there.
I hope that cat can sleep at night.

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 9:44, Reply)

yeah. extravagantly poisonous.
But it's mostly small marsupials the cats go for. Never really had a major land-based predator until humans introduced cats so they aren't adapted to deal with it.

What about the thylacine?

( Undulating Tentacles of Love getting fun down to acceptable levels, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 9:59, Reply)

Damn, has this become a serious conversation? Cockspanners.
OK, the thylacine was at best rare on the Australian mainland. It may never have existed outside Tasmania, but its preferred habitat certainly would have made it uncommon outside of South Australia. In any case, it would have required larger prey - wallabies etc.

he looks a bit rapey.

Hello Henry, and a fine looking chap he is too.
He reminds of my old mate Steve's cat Dudley, who was famed, when put in one of those cardboard box folding pet carrier things, for effecting the finest impression of the alien erupting from John Hurt's chest ever seen.
