This is an interesting story, so I thought I'd share it with everyone:

How daaaaaaaaaare you insinuate me so, you louse!

hectorberlioz · 07-26-2007, 09:13 PM

I'm not insinuating, I'm blatantly SAYING

Btw, this illustrates another super power that cats possess...this is why cats are awesomer than dogs.

Good to know Hector's back

I read this in the paper yesterday. I think it's pretty neat. At least those people didn't die alone.

I just kinda fell into this one....
That is a really sweet story though, and I, being the tender person that I am, was very touched by it. Oh and as a side note, Cats are awesomer than dogs.

Finally someone agree with me

I've seen several versions of that story on the 'net. The one I most remember, is where the residents of the home take a rather strong dislike to the death-predicting cat. Think about it, if the cat jumps on your bed and stays there, it's your last day. Everybody thinks you're a dead man, or woman. Not really something you'd like to know, I'd say. And one day the cat disappears, 'intervention' of the residents was suspected but never proven...

If you're going to use "awesome" as your adjective, finding the proper route to gradability might be rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, as it were.

Oh, damn, homegirl but you've got a way with words! And it's - whatever it is, but for some reason the adjective "awesome" has become a part of my habitual every-day speak, and I've no idea whaere it came from. At least I've toned down, to a tremendous extent, all the gang-bangery lingo I was so heavily using there for a few years... So, that's awesome! Which is cool. I guess. Or not...
