Funny Crazy Cat Quotes
From Denny: Since I just found out that Blogger only backs up posts and not the links in the sidebar or anything else on the blog... figured it was a great idea to put all my quotes lists into category posts. The blog should load faster too as it will reduce the number of links on the sidebar. Have fun grinning with the antics of these cats and their peeps! :)
Quotes
* A cat can be trusted to purr when she is pleased, which is more than can be said for human beings. - William Ralph Inge
* A cat determined not to be found can fold itself up like a pocket handkerchief if it wants to. - Louis J. Camuti
* A cat is a lion in a jungle of small bushes. - Indian Proverb
* A cat is a tiger that is fed by hand. - Proverb
* A cat is an example of sophistication minus civilization. - Anonymous
* A cat isn't fussy - just so long as you remember he likes his milk in the shallow, rose-patterned saucer and his fish on the blue plate. From which he will take it, and eat it off the floor. - Arthur Bridges
* A cat pours his body on the floor like water. - William Lyon Phelps
* A cat's got her own opinion of human beings. She don't say much, but you can tell enough to make you anxious not to hear the whole of it. - Jerome K. Jerome
* A catless writer is almost inconceivable. It's a perverse taste, really, since it would be easier to write with a herd of buffalo in the room than even one cat; they make nests in the notes and bite the end of the pen and walk on the typewriter keys. - Barbara Holland
* A dog, I have always said, is prose; a cat is a poem. - Jean Burden
* A kitten is the most irresistible comedian in the world. Its wide-open eyes gleam with wonder and mirth. It darts madly at nothing at all, and then, as though suddenly checked in the pursuit, prances sideways on its hind legs with ridiculous agility and zeal. - Agnes Repplier
* A meow massages the heart. - Stuart McMillan
* After scolding one's cat one looks into its face and is seized by the ugly suspicion that it understood every word. And has filed it for reference. - Charlotte Gray
* Although all cat games have their rules and rituals, these vary with the individual player. The cat, of course, never breaks a rule. If it does not follow precedent, that simply means it has created a new rule and it is up to you to learn it quickly if you want the game to continue. - Sidney Denham
* An ordinary kitten will ask more questions than any five year old. - Carl Van Vechten
* As every cat owner knows, nobody owns a cat. - Ellen Perry Berkeley
* Authors like cats because they are such quiet, lovable, wise creatures, and cats like authors for the same reasons. - Robertson Davies
* By and large, people who enjoy teaching animals to roll over will find themselves happier with a dog. - Barbara Holland (my cats roll over for me anyway!)
* Cat lovers can readily be identified. Their clothes always look old and well used. Their sheets look like bath towels and their bath towels look like a collection of knitting mistakes. - Eric Gurney
* Cats are dangerous companions for writers because cat watching is a near-perfect method of writing avoidance. - Dan Greenburg
* Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a purpose. - Garrison Keillor
* Cats are notoriously sore losers. Coming in second best, especially to someone as poorly coordinated as a human being, grates their sensibility. - Stephen Baker
* Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many ailments, but I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia. - Joseph Wood Krutch
* Cats are smarter than dogs. You can't get eight cats to pull a sled through snow. - Jeff Valdez
* Cats are the ultimate narcissists. You can tell this because of all the time they spend on personal grooming. Dogs aren't like this. A dog's idea of personal grooming is to roll on a dead fish. - James Gorman
* Cats are to dogs what modern people are to the people we used to have. Cats are slimmer, cleaner, more attractive, disloyal, and lazy. It's easy to understand why the cat has eclipsed the dog as modern America's favorite pet. People like pets to possess the same qualities they do. Cats are irresponsible and recognize no authority, yet are completely dependent on others for their material needs. Cats cannot be made to do anything useful. Cats are mean for the fun of it. In fact, cats possess so many of the same qualities as some people (expensive girlfriends, for instance) that it's often hard to tell the people and the cats apart. - P.J. O'Rourke, Modern Manners
* Cats can be cooperative when something feels good, which, to a cat, is the way everything is supposed to feel as much of the time as possible. - Roger Caras

* Cats have an infallible understanding of total concentration - and get between you and it. - Arthur Bridges
* Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want. - Joseph Wood Krutch
* Cats were put into the world to disprove the dogma that all things were created to serve man. - Paul Gray
* Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. - Albert Einstein
* Does the father figure in your cat's life ever clean the litter box? My husband claims that men lack the scooping gene. - Barbara L. Diamond

* Everything I know I learned from my cat: When you're hungry, eat. When you're tired, nap in a sunbeam. When you go to the vet's, pee on your owner. - Gary Smith
* God made the cat in order that man might have the pleasure of caressing the lion. - Fernand Mery
* He swings from the chandelier, he paws my peanut butter, and he knocks over my drink in the most unfortunate places in the house - but I still love him like crazy. It's like a hairball in my heart. - Audra Foveo-Alba
* I don't think it is so much the actual bath that most cats dislike; I think it's the fact that they have to spend a good part of the day putting their hair back in place. - Debbie Peterson
* I gave my cat a bath the other day ... they love it. He sat there, he enjoyed it, it was fun for me. The fur would stick to my tongue, but other than that. - Steve Martin

"Cat, I would lend you this book to study but it appears you have already read it." She looks up and gives me her full gaze. "Don't be ridiculous," she purrs, "I wrote it." - Dilys Laing, "Miao"
* I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat. - Edgar Allan Poe
* If a dog jumps into your lap, it is because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing, it is because your lap is warmer. - Alfred North Whitehead
* If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much. - Mark Twain
* If cats could talk, they wouldn't. - Nan Porter
* If I tried to tell you how much I love my cats, you wouldn't believe me - unless your heart is also meow-shaped and covered in stray fur. - Lexie Saige

* Kittens can happen to anyone. - Paul Gallico
* Meow is like aloha - it can mean anything. - Hank Ketchum
* Most beds sleep up to six cats. Ten cats without the owner. - Stephen Baker
* Most cats do not approach humans recklessly. The possibility of concealed weapons, clods or sticks, tend to make them reserved. Homeless cats in particular - with some justification, unfortunately - consider humans their natural enemies. Much ceremony must be observed, and a number of diplomatic feelers put out, before establishing a state of truce. - Lloyd Alexander
* Most cats, when they are Out want to be In, and vice versa, and often simultaneously. - Louis J. Camuti

* No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch. - Leo Dworken

Geeky Girl Gone Wild: Happy Thanksgiving Dance!
From Denny: From our girl iJustine... note in the background how everyone just quietly walks away from view or outright ignores her antics. :) I don't which is more amusing - her silly dance or the non-reaction to it.
Definitely a case of what happens when a geeky girl has gone over her limit on her coffee consumption of the day. What stupid things caffeine can make you do. Someone put this girl in coffee rehab! Take a look:

Rounding Up Lampooning Editorial Cartoons 21 Nov 2009
From Denny: Every Saturday I round up the best editorial cartoons of the week. They sure do lampoon the latest news! This week women have been up in arms angry at new health care guidelines which sounded really lame. There is the controversy over bringing Gitmo terrorists onto American soil to hang 'em in the New York courts just blocks away from the still destroyed Twin Towers area. Comments about Prez Obama's trips to Japan and China, too much bowing and nice-nice for most cartoonists apparently. Plenty of cartoonists lampooning Congress about health care.
Be sure to check out the funny video of Comedy Central's Jon Stewart lampooning the Palin book tour and the GOP in general. There are real news headline links to check out about the book tour farce and how Palin has already stiffed her fans, leaving them hanging literally out in the cold for hours in the rain in Indiana. They were not happy campers at all. Well, that's what you get when your hero is a fantasy: reality face slaps.
So, hike on over to The Social Poets where I park those cartoons every week and enjoy yourself today! BTW, thanks, everyone for visiting. You have been coming by the thousands, quite the unexpected turnout for my comedy parties, thank you! I'll make sure I order more appetizers for my hungry hordes... :)

Funny Jay Leno Quotes

From Denny: Since I just found out that Blogger only backs up posts and not the links in the sidebar or anything else on the blog... figured it was a great idea to put all my quotes lists into category posts. The blog should load faster too as it will reduce the number of links on the sidebar. Have fun grinning at Jay Leno! :)
Quotes
* A Canadian psychologist is selling a video that teaches you how to test your dog's IQ. Here's how it works: if you spend $12.99 for the video, your dog is smarter than you.
* A historic operation occurred over in Boston. Doctors successfully transplanted tissue from a pig`s brain to a man`s brain -- and the man`s brain did not reject it. That pretty much confirms what women have been saying about men.
* A Minneapolis company has come out with a credit card size shotgun that fits in your wallet. The inventor says he invented it to give people a sense of security. Oh yeah, what makes you feel more secure than sitting on a shotgun? Now how does this work? What's the first thing a thief steals? Your wallet, oh, now he's got your gun too!
* A new medical study reports that men who eat ten pizzas a week are less likely to develop prostate problems at age 50. That`s because they are usually dead by age 40.
* According to a new geographic literacy study 4 out of 10 American students couldn't find Iraq on a map. However 10 out of 10 Mexicans could find the U.S. without a map.
* According to the L.A. Times, Attorney General John Ashcroft wants to take "a harder stance" on the death penalty. What's a harder stance on the death penalty? We're already killing the guy? How do you take a harder stance on the death penalty? What, are you going to tickle him first? Give him itching powder? Put a thumbtack on the electric chair.
* Al Gore has found a new job. He is going to teach journalism at Columbia University, which is ironic isn't it? The guy who did all the coke winds up going to the White House, the guy who didn't do coke goes to Columbia.
* And since I currently live in Louisiana and everyone here was shocked at the idiot Justice of the Peace who stupidly refused to marry an interracial couple, we really enjoyed this quip: Yesterday in Louisiana, a judge denied an interracial couple a marriage license because he felt, I quote, their children would later suffer in life from being interracial. Like when they become president or win the Masters or get an Oscar.
* Bush reiterated his stand to conservatives opposing his decision on stem cell research. He said today he believes life begins at conception and ends at execution.
* Bush said today he is being stalked. He said wherever he goes, people are following him. Finally, someone told him, 'Psst. That's the Secret Service.'
* Disneyland celebrated its 40th anniversary by burying a time capsule. They say it will be dug up in 50 years - or when the last person in line at Space Mountain gets to the front, whichever comes first.
* Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. Teach a man to create an artificial shortage of fish and he will eat steak.
* Go through your phone book, call people and ask them to drive you to the airport. The ones who will drive you are your true friends. The rest aren't bad people they're just acquaintances.
* Here's something to think about How come you never see a headline like 'Psychic Wins Lottery.'
* Hey, some good news for Rush. The Oakland Raiders are offering to give him the team for free.
* How would it be if we discovered that aliens only stopped by earth to let their kids take a leak?
* I saw something stupid in the paper today - a new alarm clock that makes no noise. It`s for people who don`t like loud noises. Instead, it slowly hits you with light and gets brighter and brighter until you wake up. I already have one of those...it`s called a window.
* If God had wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates.
In California, 50 women protested the impending war with Iraq by lying on the ground naked and spelling out the word 'peace.' Right idea, wrong president. (George Bush was in office, not Bill Clinton.)
* In Huntington Beach, California, three police instructors lost their jobs after ordering two cadets who were caught smoking to eat cigarette sandwiches as punishment. And of course the tobacco companies are thinking, `Cigarette sandwiches - what a great idea!’
McDonalds announced it’s considering a more humane way of slaughtering its animals. You know they fatten them up and then kill them. You know the same thing they do to their customers, isn’t it?
* Now there are more overweight people in America than average-weight people. So overweight people are now average. Which means you've met your New Year's resolution.
* President Bush appeared with Arnold Schwarzenegger at a huge campaign event. Only in California can a governor who speaks German and a president who can barely speak English try to make themselves clear to an audience that's primarily Spanish.
* President Bush spoke with the Amish. He didn't want to, but it was the only group he could find that wasn't upset about the high price of gas.
* The Catholic Church is still very angry about "The Da Vinci Code” - they don’t like anything that makes more money in a weekend than they do.
* The New England Journal of Medicine reports that 9 out of 10 doctors agree that 1 out of 10 doctors is an idiot.
The reason there are two senators for each state is so that one can be the designated driver.
* The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn`t for any religious reasons. They couldn`t find three wise men and a virgin.
* There was one embarrassing moment for President Bush. When he heard there were forged documents that had been discovered he said: 'What? You mean they found my diploma from Yale?'
* This year there are 50 women on the Forbes richest list, or as John Kerry calls that, his little black book.
* Wait till these Enron guys find out that in prison, the term "Insider trading" has a whole new meaning.
* Well, in sports news, the big story is the NFL now stands for 'Not For Limbaugh.’
* What's going on with the Oakland Raiders? You know, I don't want to say the Raiders are bad, but you know, now, a lot of fans are painting their faces just so they won't be recognized.
* You know, it's probably best for Limbaugh because he would have been a minority owner. And once he became a minority, he would have to become a liberal and then he would have hated himself.
* You're not famous - until my mother has heard of you.

Funny Secret to Longevity Photo and Story
In case it's too blurry to read easily here's the text as some of it was chopped off on the page I found it:
Secret to Longevity
A passerby noticed an old lady sitting on her front step, " I couldn't help noticing how happy you look! What is your secret for a long happy life?"
The old lady replied, "I smoke 4 packs of cigarettes a day," she said. "Before I go to bed I smoke a nice big joint. After that I drink a whole bottle of Jack Daniels bourbon every week, oh, and I eat only junk food. On the weekends I pop a huge number of pills and do no exercise at all."
"That's absolutely amazing at your age!" declared the well impressed passerby. "Just how old are you?"
"Twenty-four."

Funny Money Advice, Cheeky Quote Day at The Social Poets
Money at hand by Don Hankin @ flickr
From Denny: It's Cheeky Quote Day over at The Social Poets where I stash a lot of humor as well. Actually, TSP was the blog that started it all with the funny quotes posts! Then this blog spun off, guess it was a case of ROTFLOL...
As I researched just a few money quotes they struck me as, well, so odd they were funny. Guess I couldn’t help myself in the cheeky department, as an irreverent being and all. Then I ran across a cute quiz for odd words and phrases to entertain you too.
Here's a sampling of some of the oddest money advice quotes:
