9 Lives Baby!! Wait, nope 8. Oh shit, 7. ...6?

...
When I was a wee lass of about 2 or 3 I had a wicked sense of humour. I most laughed myself silly at my grandparents' house when I would play and frolic with Tom, their cute little black and white cat.

Years later however, as an older child, I would visit them and every single time Tom would attack me in a screeching, frenetic claw-lashing assault. I would screech in reply and then we'd both flee in panic.

He scared the crap outta me.

For most of my childhood I believed cats hated me. Finally someone explained why Tom despised me with such a hissy and aggressive passion. Mum: 'You mean you don't remember?'


When I had earlier 'played' and 'frolicked' with Tom it was in the kitchen. (BTW, these are the grandparents with the bees and scary dinner table etiquette - now add to the list of hazards aggressive felines; and snakes, spiders, giant glaring horses (and some pretty imposing ponies... hey, I was little) AND the trampoline springs, all coiled and ready to bite.)

Anyway. My Nan's kitchen cupboards were a long way above the tiled floor and so my grandmother used the space to store crates of her potatoes and onions. Dark, airy, perfect. Apparently such conditions were also perfect, for Evil-Mini-Eleanor at least, for a darn good game.

Somehow, I would get Tom cornered under the cupboards and would giggle myself into delirious merriment as I threw potatoes and onions at him. Smack!

Thud!

BAM!

MeeorRRRRR!!!

Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!!


I loved it.







Used up a few of Tom's lives though. Poor Tom. Well, he got me back pretty good.

Cat karma baby, don't mess with it.

I'm the blogger to see for Hot Gay Dwarfs, baby!

Ooh, have finally had a peep at my stats and I see I'm at 996 visitors!

[Hey, I've only been on here since May; that anyone comes here is a marvel to me (you wonderful souls you!).]

I will have to persuade The Man at the Pub to make me a commemorative plate (he's good at that stuff).


Actually. No... I think I'd prefer a commemorative snow dome, perhaps with blooms or petals instead of snowflakes. Well maybe some silver glitter too - you know, coz I wants it ta be classy.

***If you suspect you are the 1000th visitor, send your snow dome request to
The Man at the Pub (I'm sure he'll be thrilled).***

Anyway - re stats - having a gander at referrals was interesting.

When I've checked before the search queries have been pretty dull. A lot of people come here looking for Ian McEwan (re my 'burn this book before you read it' book review). Probably some studious school students or something. Poor things. I don't think I'll have helped them much.


I also would guess I have considerably failed the lost souls who came here hoping to find:

"Hot gay dwarfs"


"Bosom betties" (?)


Info regarding: "ejac under water"


"Dwayne Johnson tight pants"


"bitch free fuck"

They all come with colourful mental imagery don't they?



Now, that last one... This person is wanting to find a bitch to fuck for free...? How much of a bitch can she be if she's handing roots out to random internet perves for free?!

Or, perhaps he is just a gentle soul trying to find a 'fuck' that is free of nasty, cruel ladies? The poor love has made 'sweet-sweet-candy' to too many heartless wenches and is just looking for a lovely lass to cuddle up to.

Yes. That sounds nice. I'll go with that. La la la la la....





Before I go, I'll bring your attention to the fact that I've bowed to public pressure and returned to looking like Vivien Leigh. I'm really very lovely now.

*preen preen*

Again I say, who could compete with this:













Although, this is my fav pick of her:











Feel free to think up some apt LOL Kitteh speak.



BTW. Have I told you how nice *ahem* I was to cats as a babe? No? Will add it to another post then.





***********

P.S. Is another NEW POST BELOW. I hope you will read it and follow the links (look, really, how often do I ask this of you? NEVER. No. So it must be important. Yes. I'll be clear: this is doing no one a favour - except yourself... IMHO at least).

I am no artist (& no Vivien either *sigh*) NOW with UPDATED Political Commentary!!!

Oops. It appears I accidentally gave you lot the wrong message the other day. My new pic is not some artistic creation of mine. Sorry! Just a photo of me, made to appear comic-like (cause I really prefer being a drawing thank you) by the click of my camera's software 'Cartoon' button. I apologise if I gave anyone the impression that I actually have some artistic talent or any creative skills whatsoever (hey, I clicked on them buttons real fancy like! it's all in the wrist you know.).
Pic of me + Scribbly lines all over = Much better. [EDIT 9Aug: 1.5 photos removed - Told ya!]

PS - I prefer Vivien too (really, who could compete?!). She will return!!!!














PPS - Just had a lovely laugh watching Howard on 7.30 Report again. (Kerry was cackling too.) Oh our PM's an absolute hoot lately: "No, no no... But... but... But Kerry!!" Old and 'rattled'??! Naahh!!!

UPDATE: 7.30 REPORT TRANSCRIPT NOW AVAILABLE - just a snippet:

[Only the comments in CAPS are mine, they do the rest themselves.]

KERRY O'BRIEN: Now to your own problems, Mr Howard? I know that you've tried to reject the leaked findings of your own pollsters this week that you're regarded as dishonest, but if that's how people see you then that's a real problem for you, isn't it?

JOHN HOWARD: Well Kerry, I won't be a commentator [commenter?] on that. I will deal directly with the issue. I'm not dishonest. [blah blah WMDs etc]

KERRY O'BRIEN: Have you asked your pollsters to find out why the public thinks you're dishonest?

JOHN HOWARD: No, but Kerry, I will deal with the facts I will deal with the allegation. I am entitled... I AM ENTITLED!!!!

*pouts*


KERRY O'BRIEN: It's not so much an allegation it's what your pollsters are telling you about the public perception.

JOHN HOWARD: Well, it's used in the question as an allegation. DON'T YOU GET TRICKY WITH ME YOU YOUNG WHIPPER SNAPPER! I'M ONTO YOU... I'm asked to say what do I think of the allegation that I'm dishonest? Well my reply to that is to say I'm not dishonest and I've grabbed hold of one of the examples of where I'm alleged to be dishonest. I mean, you will acknowledge that I have a right to defend myself. I HAVE A RIGHT TO DEFEND MYSELF!!!

KERRY O'BRIEN: But of course.

JOHN HOWARD: In what I regard as a false claim and I think I owe it to the Government supporters who watch your program, BOTH OF THEM, and I owe it to other people who are taking an objective interest in political debate in this country, to deal with those sorts of allegations. I OWE IT TO THE PEOPLE!!!!



KERRY O'BRIEN: But I suppose what I'm asking you is not so much an allegation but a finding by your pollsters that there is a strong perception out there amongst voters who are deserting your party that they think you're dishonest and I was asking you whether you've asked your pollsters to try and pin down the reasons why they think you're dishonest?

JOHN HOWARD: I certainly don't intend to go into what I have and what I haven't asked my pollsters YOUNG MAN. But I would have thought the best way to deal with that question is to address the substance of the alleged perception and that is what I've done. NOT THAT I'M GOING INTO WHAT THAT PERCEPTION ACTUALLY IS CAUSE I WON'T COMMENT ON IT...

KERRY O'BRIEN: You raised one element of what you think might...

JOHN HOWARD: Well, let me go into the other quoted examples. Children overboard [blah blah, bloody advisers *shakes fist*]

KERRY O'BRIEN: Is this what your pollsters are telling you that those are the kinds of reasons why people don't believe you?

JOHN HOWARD: No, I read them all the time in the newspapers.

KERRY O'BRIEN: No, no, I'm talking about what your pollsters have told you.

JOHN HOWARD: No, I'm saying I'm not going into what my pollsters have told me.

KERRY O'BRIEN: Of course if that perception of dishonesty is there, then the more desperate you appear to get with your promises or your interventions, the more that perception of dishonesty is going to haunt you, isn't it?

JOHN HOWARD: Kerry, you say my interventions are desperate but which ones do you...

KERRY O'BRIEN: No, no, I'm saying that the more desperate you appear to get...

JOHN HOWARD: With my interventions?

KERRY O'BRIEN: With your promises and your interventions, yes.

JOHN HOWARD: Can you give me some of the examples that are desperate?

KERRY O'BRIEN: Well, let's take the case of the hospital and I'm talk about perceptions, Mr Howard. Let's take the case of the hospital at Devonport. You said that decision had nothing to do with holding on to a marginal seat.

JOHN HOWARD: No, I didn't say that.

KERRY O'BRIEN: You haven't said that?

JOHN HOWARD: No, no, YOU NINNY, I was asked about isn't it coincidence in a marginal seat. My reply to that is well if it's a good policy, if it also has the impact of BUYING ME VOTES AND being popular what's wrong with that?
*laughter in background*

KERRY O'BRIEN: Well you've now got one of your own Tasmanian Liberal senators, Stephen Parry, telling journalists today that he thinks the hospital is a disaster and it should be closed.

JOHN HOWARD: Well, he's given me some slightly different version than that.

KERRY O'BRIEN: And what's that?

JOHN HOWARD: Well, I'm not going to go into that as a discussion between us. But, can I tell you the Government's policy is to go full steam ahead with the intervention.

KERRY O'BRIEN: Did he tell you he supports your intervention?

JOHN HOWARD: Can I say... well he's put out a statement... *SIGHS* Can I say that the Health Minister, Mr Abbott, went to Tasmania today and had a meeting with the Tasmanian Health Minister and to say the least the Tasmanian Government is being extremely uncooperative, which I think is very poor. *TSK* I would have thought the Tasmanian Government would have welcomed with open arms the fact that we are willing to USE THEM TO BUY VOTES, inject up to another $45 million to $50 million a year into the health system in northern Tasmania and for the Tasmanian Health Minister to say in effect well, we're going to spite the Federal Government because we don't like the idea of the Federal Government BUYING VOTES being involved, shows an arrogant disregard for the interests of MY PARTY the people in Devonport and the people of northern Tasmania.

KERRY O'BRIEN: Mr Howard, the Tasmanian Government, as you well know, is acting on two independent reports in implementing its health decisions and its health profile for Tasmania. There's a lot of sentiment in Burnie next door about the rights an wrongs of your intervening in Devonport, aren't there?

JOHN HOWARD: But Kerry, let's just look at the objective facts, AS THIS IS MUCH MORE CONVENIENT THAN ANALYSING THE BIGGER PICTURE OR MY TRUE INTENTIONS, I mean we are willing to inject $45 million to $50 million into keeping that hospital at full bore as far as public hospital facilities are concerned and instead of sitting down and cooperating with us, the Tasmanian Government so far, and I hope it changes its attitude. There has been agreement for the health officials of the Commonwealth and the State to meet not later than Thursday of this week. They are, you know, playing denial politics, they're playing spite politics. Well, I just ask them to think of the [VOTERS] people, the tens of thousands of [VOTERS and] people who will benefit from this decision [ME AND MY PARTY]. That's the point I'm making.

KERRY: *rolls around on the floor laughing holding his sides in pain as tears roll down his cheeks*

HOWARD: *right eye starts to twitch*



Honestly, should we vote him back in just for entertainment value?
