Very spot on to see the joke ! We have two aged cats and a very badly trained Yorkie. One of the cats has sussed him, so he doesn't go anywhere near her. The other lives in terror. Funny thing is that he will sit on the bed with her when we are out of the house..

We have a cat (Snuggles) that has been with me 16 years now, weighs under 8 pounds, and can put an 80 pound Weimaraner cowering into a corner with a hiss and a gesture. They've long since learned that those gestures are made by a small fur coat with razor blades in every pocket... Any more, they try their best to ignore her, but every once in a while the urge to get a better sniff overwhelms them.

Vets bills can be expensive ! Cats can be very laid back, but once in a while.... Out 2 cats are about 14 (I think), and the dog is a mere teenager in doggy years (ie 2 - 3 y.o).

"Vets bills can be expensive"
Tell me another, Mate! I think we've spent around $2500.00 (no clue what that is in £ or €, sorry) in the last 6 months. One of the Weimies (9-yr old female) has Cushing's disease, and the other two (2.5-yr old males) sometimes play a bit too rough wth each other. What with that and rabies vac's, etc., it adds to a pretty sum soon. The cat is very low-maintenance, and the other dog (?Corgi x Basenji?) is just a year old now.

$2500.00 = £1250. We have insurence for vet bills at about $20 a month. This was what decided us on getting a pup, not a rescue dog, as a rescue dog could not be insured...

I think my wife paid about 300 GBP for the Yorkie pup, but it's cost way more than that in vets bills and household destruction. It once got hold of her mothers false teeth ! I thought I was gonna die laughing. He just didn't want to give them up, growling in defence of his new-found 'prize'. I don't know if she made an insurance claim, but the company would have probably paid straight up because it was so bizarre.

Far too valuable as a possible cabaret act - he can balance on front 2 paws only whilst pissing ! UK sausages don't contain any meat to speak of anyway.

Kind of like Spam... Their tag line is "Crazy Tasty." And it's "all meat, contains ham," but what the hell does that mean?! The other ingredients in order are salt, potato starch, and nitrates.
All it really tastes like is salt. I know, I bought a can the other day just for the benefit of the doubt!!!

I once heard that during WW11 temporary roads were built using cans of spam as foundation ! A few years back some guy opened a restaurant in London that served nothing but Spam dishes.

I am currently working on an even more expensive vodka - it's filtered through the ass of a dinosaur... I'm still working on getting the kinks out of the time machine, but I guarantee Bronto-Vodka will be a big seller!!!

Trouble is, you may end up with a dino brain - ie walnut sized and located in your tail ! . I really don't understand that stuff about Vodka with diamonds in it. It could cause a really sore throat (or some part of the anatomy).

I couldn't find one in any of these. .Willy Wonka has some answering to do. 'Milky Way', 'Mars Bar'. Not a trace of either space substance in these. 'Wagon Wheels' (aka Moon Pie), fell off my bloody wagon as well.

You people with your fancy talking boxes, fire in your pockets, magic lights and bewildering flying metal birds. I do not understand your complicated ways of modern life...for I am but a simple caveman.
I can tell you though...my avatar is to suggest our simple beginnings in life, the possibility of a Divine hand and the ultimate goal of enlightenment whilst not forgetting the primitive nature of our nearest apelike relatives.
I feel that my Cousin Keyrock can explain it all very clearly......here

Yes, thank you for reminding us of episodes of SNL. If you took a look at Mike Myers' Lothar of the Hill People, interesting to note that the opening senses were cut from the original Conan the Barbarian movie - Arnold and his new found thief friend running across the Spanish landscape.
Here! Here's another thing to scare you - PICTURES THAT MOVE!!!

I am not like Sparky with graphics. I never knew how to make one. Just 3 days back my daughter-in-law helped me to make one so I posted it. I am determined to be as good as Sparky within the next maybe 10-15 years if I live that long.
My Avatar is a Ducon Condensate Power Pump Packaged Unit that I've designed and manufacture to sell. Though it is similar to all other International Manufacturers' fabricated models but, mine has an edge over capacity 20-25% more. This is the only pump that has no moving parts except an imported float unit and handles very HOT 100C condensate without cavitation using no electricity.
It describes me as technical(since I made a technical product), bold (to take a challenge), robust(as the pump), black (80% less than the pump color) and more important it describes me as a very determined person(awaiting anybody who falls for it and buys it such that i can get US $ 10,000 richer). with every pump sold.

I haven't got a rational explanation - no change there then. I occasionally flip to a more devilish persona, but people keep complaining to me when I use the evil picture. It's probably Freudian. I'll change back to jumping jack, or the dude at the desk if popular vote requests such. Meantime I'm happy sitting on a branch fiddling with my nuts. The name Kris was chosen for it's ambiguity, and I add phrases in such a way as to confuse people about gender. Why ? I have no idea, other than it simply amuses me.

Well I do have a couple of marks, and people tell me I'm a bit of a sad case ! Short of mentioning Matthew, Luke, and John, I don't see how we can get more miles from marquee gags. Is somebody keeping score here ?

LOL ! I occasionally fall off my branch. That darn cat just creeps up on me at times - the moustache really freaks me out ! (miao't Del ,miao't ). Trying to pretend I'm fluffy and cuddly is fooling nobody - a change will have to occur soon. Dude in tight yellow pants or dude at desk ? It will confuse an awful lot of threads if I swap now. People might get seriously disturbed. Maybe Del is one of thos Schrodinger cats. That is seriously worrying, we won't know if he's here or not !

What does my avatar say aobut me? Hmmmm, depends on which one.
My first avatar was a picture of me, taken in Tulsa's historic Maple Ridge neighborhood on Memorial Day of 2005. The neighborhood association sponsors a 5K race every year. The Tulsa Repeater Organization, a ham radio club, provides communications for this event, and as the activities chairman that year, I was in charge of that effort that day.
My second avatar was a logo for a company I might or might not start to develop and market items I have designed.
My third is just a design I drew up in AutoCAd to keep my skills fresh.
My current avatar is another one I drew up just to keep in practice in ACAD.
I like this one the most. It is simple, symmetic, and mysterious. It also appeals to my Celtic blood.
I guess my avatars say that I have creative desires but my strongest skills are in organization and communications.

Resistance is Futile !
( although that very cool truck could probaly use some good lubrication). Is it a pic you found someplace, or is it from the family photo album. It conjurs up a nice image of a slower-paced bygone era.
