This Dark Knot, aka “The Cat in the Bat,” aka “Catman Deux,” aka “Die Katezefledermaus,” would be a totally worthless superhero, spending most of his time licking and scratching himself, sleeping, taking short sleep breaks just to eat and occasionally chasing shadows.
Meanwhile, here’s your chance to hock up furballs and snarky innuendo about Catman and Robin on this Overnight Open Thread.

A ball as opposed to a strike is not considered an error. It’s just poor pitching when runs are scored by them.

German Shepherd. Deathly afraid of wind, unfortunately.
My ex was at school for about 4 hours, and came home to find that he’d torn the blinds and curtains down from the sliding door, then tore out an entire panel of drywall next to it, up to the stud.
He was apparently trying to get outside.
And he tried to bite through the deadbolt knob on the front door, too. It still has his teeth marks on it.

He wasn’t trying to get out for that. He was convinced that when the weather was bad, the safest place to be was outside (apparently German Shepherds don’t have very good reasoning skills).
Another time, he actually was outside when it was really windy. He forced his way through the gate and out of the yard (tearing the latch off in the process).
My ex found him in the park next to our property.

Our first cat had an area rug it used exclusively for scratching. When we moved, we took the rug with us and put it in the bedroom. The new cat 15 years later scratched everything in sight, no matter what we did. He’s been declawed for 3 or 4 years now and he still scratches, it just doesn’t do any damage. OTOH, it doesn’t urinate on the carpet like the dog did before she was banished to be an outdoor dog. We were told she was housetrained, they didn’t say that meant she waited until you let her into the house.

When I got tired of that, I fired into the air, directly up, and listened for the fall. It wasn’t until a bb embedded itself in the wood table less than a foot away that I decided that firing into the air wasn’t a good idea.

At least you know they’re going to do it.
This was completely out of the blue. Scared the crap out of me.
He’s lucky he didn’t get shot.

Ah, I didn’t know if you were talking about computer icons or Orthodox icons.
Sounds like an interesting thread. Looking forward to reading it.

Same as with card/coin manipulations. Practice with a poker deck, work with a smaller one. Practice with a half-dollar, work with a quarter.

@ 1389AD:
got that. =)
Well, I’m out, too.
Talk to you all tomorrow
You know that 2.6 million to teach Chinese prostitutes how to drink?
No broken chairs…
Has a certain raccoon been moonlighting?
Take all your dishes and glasses to the sink before you leave. If anyone wants to stick around for a while, just turn the lights off and lock up. G’night.

Not good enough. Try again.

@ Calo:
Fruit and water? Someone let unMataHari in?
@ mjazz:
I don’t like the Glad Wrap guy.
@ Calo:
It took me a minute to get that, I thought I knew them all.
@ Mongoose:
Fruit and water? Sure you didn’t hit a certain gated community?
@ mjazz:
I think he left for tonight. Maybe fruit and water wasn’t in his diet, but curry might be.

Well, it looks fairly quiet in here this morning.
Good morning everyone. If no one is sick of them, here’s some more Zombie pictures.
@ PaladinPhil:
Is Shamble a yearly thing? What is the origin?
@ BatGuano:
I don’t know the origin, but this was the 8th year of it. I have seen one other one as well. May have to do some research.
Well, time to hit the cold trail. See you all later.
damn I ran over a cat yesterday….I hope it was feral and not a pet
A slow Friday morning it seems. I have arrived safe and sound at work.

@ PaladinPhil:
@ Nevergiveup:
Good morning all. Just think, in 96 hours the polls will be opening and maybe, just maybe, we’ll begin to see the light at the end of this dark tunnel.

While this is local, and not of much interest to anyone outside Louisville, the Republican candidate for mayor is ahead by 7 points.
We haven’t elected a Republican mayor since 1965. Methinks it doth portend good things in the future.

Top o’ da mornin’ to ya! It’s a shame about that cat, but some things are unavoidable. Years ago, I ran over a family dog, right in front of the entire family. I was going under the speed limit and the poor bastard just ran out in front of my car. It wasn’t my fault, there was nothing I could do, but to this day, I still feel bad about it.
@ Nevergiveup:
My ballot was mailed in almost 2 weeks ago.

I think there is in some parts. I am sure that the left wing news media up here will be either crowing about the Dems win, or crying over their loss.
/actually we don’t have ANY right wing news channels up here….
A clear indication of where Dem loyalties really lie:
Oh, and I might add that Meeks is black.
@ Bunk X:
I just saw it today too, though at another site, where they were commenting about how fast it was going around. The place I saw it at has a lot of subject matter crossover/commonality with this place.
Don’t know where they saw it though.
