Does that mean the chicken will beat the dog?


I don't know, but a gander will nail the hell out of all of them. Nasty things, if they want to be.

I lived in a garden level apt and used to leave the window up, just enough to let the cats come and go at will.I would often come home and spend the next few hours chasing down the chipmunks that the kids had found during the night.Once,while moving a dresser,I accidentally moved it onto ones tail...he pulled away,his tail did not.A bit gruesome but I captured and released him and several others(or maybe it was the same few the cats were recapturing.I tryed to keep a few as pets to try and keep the cats from bringing more....but evidently suffer from ToM of cats and chipmonks,the latter refused to eat and had to be released and the former kept bringing me more.

I thought the funniest thing is when the kitten would capture "blowing leaves"...bounce,put in mouth and proudly bring them into the house and pile in the middle of the living room,easier to clean up after then the few "bits" of chipmunk that I did occasionally find(I guess some bits aren't as tasty?or perhaps they were saving the best for me?)


Good stuff. All I need to find are the right supports to build my cat walk in my cave. (not exactly true, I fear I must paint first) Going to carpet boards for them with platforms in good spots (windows) for them to gaze, catch the sun and watch things. The best one I ever saw just went every where in the apartment, even went to a window and to a tree. So far they're staying inside although Jack is looking hard at the outside, I just want him a little more familar with the benifts of being a mostly indoor cat. Muffin, she's an insider like me.

Oh no... Not me. I failed that 14 years ago.

Basically, it was me not being able to keep up a NT mask (not that I knew back then).

Okay, Blessed, now you don't have to feel alone - I had to cut loose in one of the so-called "Adult" threads. Some kid whining about how he struck out on some dating websites, for Turing's sake, and so now he knows he's "ret*d" because of his AS, so he can never, ever, ever find love, and his life is just so, so sad, and boo hoo freaking hooo....

And I couldn't let that pass. Call it a weakness - reliance on self-pity pisses me off.

So now, I fully expect the pity-whores to call for my head because I'm a heartless meanie. <shrug>

That maybe, but if you'd like, you can fail again. There is no limit to what I can fail. I'm very good at failure. Why, there are times I even excel in it, I'm positive of it.

When The Wife needs to remind me of how long we've been married, which is usually only once a year, I sort of gasp now. I think entirely too long and tell her so. I won't pay for the divorce papers and she won't. Yes my little Swampblossm is just meaner then a snake and twice as low. Funny how the first one felt long at about 2 years and this one at 16 years is shorter. But I still want a divorce. Just look at the numbers, I'm 56, obviously I've been single longer then I've been married. There has to be a message in that.

Married aspie thread? You can't avoid us. We are everywhere and we won't be abused any longer. For we are, married with aspie and proud!!

You have an excellent music knowledge, could there not be a heartless meanie song? Pity whore song would be good, maybe we could combine them in row row your boat style? With three part harmony?

Lol, yeah it's 3 doggie nite. Just an Old fashioned love song, lol. You ever play a little game called "stick that song"? It's cruel and unusuall, but I and my dig buddy were unmerciless with each other. If you know any show tunes, don't play with me, I'll beat you. I was raised on the damn things. Thtat really was cruel and unusual.

B**CH you just stuck me, you don't play fair. God i hate that song.

Well, there's the Beatles' "March of the Meanies", from Yellow Submarine, but that one's an instrumental. Then there's "Heartless", from, ironically enough, Heart, on their album Magazine - but the lyrics to that one are hardly apropos...

That's all that pops into mind immediately. I guess I'll have to work on this one... :)

I was thinking hard bass lines, thumping driving drums with the wild gutiar rifts for the meanie part. Cellos and violins, add a touch of french horn, for the pity. Maybe the words will come after the music, I hear it works that way sometimes. yeah the guitarist from heart all dressed leather should add to the flavor well for a young lad.

I thought that's the way everybody on the islands had to look, with eyes turned skyward. The coconuts must be lethal. I think that's why some tourists never come back, they get all worried and agog looking at the valcano and don't see the sparrows dropping the holy coconuts.


Best money I made on the Islands, was Coconut spotter. Some small child was getting her diper changed in a State Park under a coconut palm and as the mom turned away, WHAP. . coconut to the baby, with not so good for the baby. Hence a State Law that coconuts have to be nipped in the bud in all State Parks and I was the gal that 'spotted' the dude in the cleats and belt that climbed the trees and nipped the nuts. I got to help gather them up and made the princely sum of 10$ an hour, but not a lot of hours being paid and a lot of hours having to schlep around the Big Island with this guy, going from one State Park to another.

Okay, after some thought, the best self-pitying song I can come up with (at least, the best that could apply to this kid's "problem") is Supertramp's "Rudy", from Crime of the Century.

My reply, while not exactly as hard-hearted as I expect to be painted, is I think best encapsulated by Rush's "Scars", from Presto.

...No hero in your tragedy
No daring in your escape
No salutes for your surrender
Nothing noble in your fate...
