Haven't you all learn by now not to encourage him. He only gets worse.

P'ter · Mar 17 2009, 07:23 PM

Yep Maw: I used up all the good ones years ago.

Are you writing Scarborough fair?
Parsing pages helps to pass time.
Remember Barquies evolve; so there (

).
They were once a top feline line.

Barquies is willin': (Dickens)

eann · Mar 17 2009, 08:28 PM

His Barque is worse than his byte?

mawra · Mar 17 2009, 11:45 PM

Groan.

I would agree with you Eann, P'ter's Barque is worse than his byte. It is what he types that you need to worry about.

eann · Mar 18 2009, 01:30 AM

I'll try not to make him Barque-ing mad then.

***Hans*** · Mar 18 2009, 03:56 AM

OK, that does it, I'm out; I'll do antyhing bar queing to display my witticism in this thread...

the funny threads should be in another forum!

eann · Mar 18 2009, 04:17 AM

Hans, you don't like puns?

***Hans*** · Mar 18 2009, 09:24 AM

Uhm... I thought I was making one

My reply wasn't meant seriously, Annie

Although, though you won't hear me protesting seriously, what I said is true...

(and I don't even have the excuse of having stood too long at the bar, queing for drinks....)

jube · Mar 18 2009, 09:31 AM

Maybe I should "que" or is that cue (usher) you in on that Hans has not "queued" in a line for a long time *ducks and runs*. He's barque-ing mad too!

P'ter · Mar 18 2009, 10:37 AM

I think we're all suffering from catalepsy!

Sandi · Mar 18 2009, 11:18 AM

Then go to the bar and get a cat-a-tonic!

mawra · Mar 18 2009, 03:30 PM

I think I am getting a headache.

Be careful, you may wind up needing a Cat Scan.

eann · Mar 19 2009, 02:25 AM

If you bleed will you be cata-gory?

P'ter · Mar 19 2009, 04:13 AM

only if I shot you with my cat-apault

mawra · Mar 19 2009, 12:38 PM

This is getting to be cat a strophic.

P'ter · Mar 19 2009, 02:30 PM

Cats are only strophic if they are in thrall to a poetic "mew"s

Kugai · Mar 19 2009, 05:01 PM

Is this Thread turning into a CATalogue of bad puns??!

P'ter · Mar 19 2009, 07:17 PM

No: good ones

Multi-Facets · Mar 20 2009, 02:55 AM

Let's not get catty, so no catcalls, either; we're here to a-mews-e. ^n_n^

eann · Mar 20 2009, 03:55 AM

Appurrently so.

P'ter · Mar 20 2009, 05:30 AM

Only fur furriners

***Hans*** · Mar 20 2009, 06:20 AM

OK, who let the cat out of the bag and told everybody I'm a furriner?

P'ter · Mar 20 2009, 06:54 AM

I didn't: you can't CAT-ch me like that.

Sandi · Mar 20 2009, 10:14 AM

Is the Barqie's ship record a Cat-alog?

P'ter · Mar 20 2009, 10:30 AM

Snorts at sudden metal picture of USS Enterprise with feline crew (except for the engineer who's canine).

Captain (one of the kirk cats): How're you feeling Scottie?"

Engineer: "Ruff!"

eann · Mar 20 2009, 03:12 PM

No, the cats let the two-leggeds do the grunt work while they do the impurrtant stuff.

mawra · Mar 20 2009, 10:00 PM

Of course they do. That is why cats have humans. So the humans can do the all the grunt work and cats can manage things (humans).

GinnyStar · Mar 20 2009, 10:01 PM

Hmm with all the cat type joke and puns around maybe some can split and move it to Loung or Fun and Game Forum for This thread was to about the new book!

Yes cats are part of it but not all the cat jokes and puns parts.

I am gitting a bit hehe at some of them but on topic please.

eann · Mar 21 2009, 02:57 AM

Oh, okay. There aren't as many (if any) cat puns in the book, I can tell you that.

P'ter · Mar 21 2009, 03:21 AM

Shame!

I seem to remember that the titles are puns though?

mawra · Mar 21 2009, 05:54 PM

What was the subject of the thread suppose to be again? I think I forgot.

Sandi · Mar 21 2009, 09:11 PM

I think the subject was a new book about cats that barque instead of byte. But if you annoy them, you could still get a catnip!

Kugai · Mar 21 2009, 09:43 PM

mew!!!

(FALLS DOWN LAUGHING!)

P'ter · Mar 22 2009, 03:08 AM

I just read a short detective story where a burlger/murderer gets caught because his victim's cat scatched him and he got Cat-scratch Fever.

eann · Mar 22 2009, 04:33 AM

I just read a true story where the murderer's cat's fur was found on the body of the victim and helped convict the murderer. I hope someone at least took the cat in when they sent his master to jail.

P'ter · Mar 22 2009, 04:54 AM

Researching going well then?

eann · Mar 22 2009, 06:38 AM

Just getting back to it after almost six months of mental inactivity while I heal from having both knees replaced (yes, P'ter, with other knee bits--not with kumquats or something). A cat lady friend (I belong to a site that is subscribed to by many many cat ladies, some even crazier than me) sent me a little book called 100 Cats Who Changed the World or something like that and Snowball, the first cat to have his fur used as evidence in a murder case, was one of the early cats mentioned.
