Las Vegas Leviathan weighs in on cats

[Evil_Conservative]

 

Years ago, we had a cat that took to throwing up.

It lived out the rest of its days, such as they were, at the pound.

It could be a digestive problem too, you know.  You don't have to "throw away" a cat because he/she is getting sick.  Just take her to the vet.  Would you throw your dog to the pound if it got sick?

No need to spend bookoo bucks on a cat, when you can replace it from one of those "Free Kittens" ads in the back of the paper.

Nothing against cats. Every one we've had has had good care, but at some point you cut your losses.

Every dog I've owned has earned its keep as a hunter. A few have been invaluable. Totally different situation.

We've all gotten distracted by the cat posts.  I'm more interested in the fact that somebody who claims to be too overweight to work, who is apparently unable to walk down the street due to his obesity, went on vacation.

Hi5 for a dose of reality.

Vacation to a Las Vegan means "I went to the buffet at Ceasar's Palace."

Getting out of the house would be a vacation for the Las Vegas Leviathan .

Well, he's definitely agoraphobic, with a sweaty fear of being out in public.

Which is why, earlier in his failed attempt to slenderize, I suggested he could take a job as one of those guys who walk around on the sidewalks, a piece of plywood in front of them, and another piece of plywood back of them, held together by straps over the shoulders, advertising something.

This was before I thought bell-boy would be better for him.

By being a sandwich-board (?--not sure if right word) man, the Las Vegas Leviathan would accomplish three things: he'd earn some money keeping himself off the dole, he'd lose weight from the excercise, and he'd conquer that fear of being out in the open.

Like he paid any attention or anything, to franksolich.....

How about being one of those guys who spin the big signs on street corners, announcing a once-in-a- lifetime chance to buy a mattress at an unheard-of discount?

There are lots of those guys, every weekend, and I'm sure it's a career with substantial turnover, so openings should be available.

I think Kirk's problem is he's embarrassed to go out with a couple of Papa John's boxes strapped to his flippers.

A lot of our housing communities out where I live have a sign spinner.  Most of them just stand there and wave though.  I guess that's fine, because I wouldn't want to see that fatty shaking his ass while advertising a house.

You know, some time ago the Las Vegas Leviathan expressed admiration for John Kennedy.

It's funny how the primitives forget some aspects of John Kennedy.

Such as his statement, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but rather ask what you can do for your country."

I think it's obvious what the Las Vegas Leviathan can do for his country.

They try that up here in the spring, hire the homeless to hang out and advertise a business or store.      Interestings things do happen.

Some store hired 4-5 people to wave their SALE signs.   Each man had a designated spot to stand on the road.

This became a boring job and the men kept moving closer together to talk etc and finally all ended up in one spot.

911 calls ranged to a fight on the corner, 3 passed out on wine or beer,  one pissing on the stop light pole and the other exposing themselves to moterests.   

I am all ways in the wrong place when something interesting happens.   I had passed them twice coming and going on RT.1 and they were behaving themselves, DARN my timing was off had I waited a few hours I would have seen the action and had a fun story for family.  With Pictures to fame and put in the guest bathroom and frame to give out to my liberal coworkers at the Yankee Swap at our Christmass party.

I must say that when I nadined the Las Vegas Leviathan on Skins's island, the blimp sure seems to comment a great deal about playing fantasy games on his computer.

And here, when the Las Vegas Leviathan's talked about being at the computer, I thought he was at the computer looking for a job.

There was once a game--this was in the early 1990s, it was black-and-white, and played on a Macintosh--"Strategic Conquest," which I played relentlessly, hour after hour (although it needs pointed out that I was working for a living too), to the exclusion of all else.  After a while, I decided it was causing me to avoid confronting life, and tossed the 3.5" disc away.

I think Jeanette should take all of his gaming stuff and toss it into the dumpster.

What's he going to do?  Given his agoraphobia, he's not likely to go outdoors to the dumpster and retrieve it.

I think he's mentioned before that Jeanette sometimes played the game when she gets home from her 12-hour shift on a phone bank.

After all, she's paying the premium subscription fee.

Since the Kenyan's full impact has hit the Las Vegas economy, I believe Jeanette's been out of work from even minimum wage phone banking.

They must be pawning stuff or selling food stamps to pay the computer game subscription.

Some of those games are expensive. Poor Jeanette might be skipping meals so the Las Vegas Large One can continue to stock up on veggie dogs.

Evidently she's never run into UGP high on pineapple juice.

Now THAT'S funny!!!!

I dunno, though.  I think it depends upon the owner.

<<cats here think franksolich is god.

I'm picking up a new one in the big city tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. male, two years old, and for a cat, Las Vegas Leviathan sized, enormous.

I dunno how the other four cats here--Abbie, Snow, Harold, and Ellie--will get along with him, but we'll see.

Unlike the Las Vegas Leviathan though, who keeps five cats in a stinking suffocating fetid near-windowless dark inner-city apartment, there's plenty of room and "space" for cats here, both inside the house and in the Great Outdoors, far from any streets and automotive traffic.

I think primitives should be banned from owning any sorts of animal lives; they don't know how to take care of pets.

He'll be fine after a while. My granddaughter gave me a Tom that she had for a while and had to give up. I already had 2 females.

They took offense at first really bad but have learned to tolerate him.

They still hiss at him, all the while sharin' the food dish!
