    I went to the animals shelter yesterday, but did not find my match. This coming weekend I will try again.

    I like that you are looking for good chemistry!

    Your kitty is out there just waiting to make you his.

    Keep in mind some cats choose their owners, but some are just a little shy...

    it's hard to be yourself at a shelter! :(

    Try hanging out and see who comes to ya.

    And remember to have fun doing this! :)

    Keep us posted!

    Sadly a lot of the information that was available online about him has gone. According to him he was born biologically male, but underwent full MTF surgery in 1988, including penile inversion. He later decided this had been a mistake, had his breast removed, went on testosterone and started body building. I've seen some pics of him from 5-10 years ago in which he looks pretty close to the guy in heels.

    I luv the forum! I learn something new everyday. Thanks!

    Monty Python: "String"

     

    Adrian Wapcaplet: Aah, come in, come in, Mr....Simpson. Aaah, welcome to Mousebat, Follicle, Goosecreature, Ampersand, Spong, Wapcaplet, Looseliver, Vendetta and Prang!

     

    Mr. Simpson: Thank you.

     

    Wapcaplet: Do sit down--my name's Wapcaplet, Adrian Wapcaplet...

     

    Mr. Simpson: how'd'y'do.

     

    Wapcaplet: Now, Mr. Simpson... Simpson, Simpson... French, is it?

     

    S: No.

     

    W: Aah. Now, I understand you want us to advertise your washing powder.

     

    S: String.

     

    W: String, washing powder, what's the difference. We can sell *anything*.

     

    S: Good. Well I have this large quantity of string, a hundred and twenty-two thousand *miles* of it to be exact, which I inherited, and I thought if I advertised it...

     

    W: Of course! A national campaign. Useful stuff, string, no trouble there.

     

    S: Ah, but there's a snag, you see. Due to bad planning, the hundred and twenty-two thousand miles is in three inch lengths. So it's not very useful.

     

    W: Well, that's our selling point! 'SIMPSON'S INDIVIDUAL STRINGETTES!'

     

    S: What?

     

    W: 'THE NOW STRING! READY CUT, EASY TO HANDLE, SIMPSON'S INDIVIDUAL EMPEROR STRINGETTES - JUST THE RIGHT LENGTH!'

     

    S: For what?

     

    W: 'A MILLION HOUSEHOLD USES!'

     

    S: Such as?

     

    W: Uhmm...Tying up very small parcels, attatching notes to pigeons' legs, uh, destroying household pests...

     

    S: Destroying household pests?! How?

     

    W: Well, if they're bigger than a mouse, you can strangle them with it, and if they're smaller than, you flog them to death with it!

     

    S: Well *surely*!....

     

    W: 'DESTROY NINETY-NINE PERCENT OF KNOWN HOUSEHOLD PESTS WITH PRE-SLICED, RUSTPROOF, EASY-TO-HANDLE, LOW CALORIE SIMPSON'S INDIVIDUAL EMPEROR STRINGETTES, FREE FROM ARTIFICIAL COLORING, AS USED IN HOSPITALS!'

     

    S: 'Ospitals!?!?!?!!?

     

    W: Have you ever in a Hospital where they didn't have string?

     

    S: No, but it's only *string*!

     

    W: ONLY STRING?! It's everything! It's...it's waterproof!

     

    S: No it isn't!

     

    W: All right, it's water resistant then!

     

    S: It isn't!

     

    W: All right, it's water absorbent! It's...Super Absorbent String! 'ABSORB WATER TODAY WITH SIMPSON'S INDIVIDUAL WATER ABSORB-A-TEX STRINGETTES! AWAY WITH FLOODS!'

     

    S: You just said it was waterproof!

     

    W: 'AWAY WITH THE DULL DRUDGERY OF WORKADAY TIDAL WAVES! USE SIMPSON'S INDIVIDUAL FLOOD PREVENTERS!'

     

    S: You're mad!

     

    W: Shut up, shut up, shut up! Sex, sex sex, must get sex into it. Wait, I see a television commercial- There's this nude woman in a bath holding a bit of your string. That's great, great, but we need a doctor, got to have a medical opinion. There's a nude woman in a bath with a doctor--that's too sexy. Put an Archbishop there watching them, that'll take the curse off it. Now, we need children and animals. There's two kids admiring the string, and a dog admiring the Archbishop who's blessing the string. Uhh...international flavor's missing...make the Archbishop Greek Orthodox.... why not Archbishop Makarios? No no, he's dead. Never mind, we'll get his brother, it'll be cheaper. So, there's Archbishop Makarios's brother... (fade out)

    Hysterical! Thank you @AdamSmith!

    I never really paid attention to Monty Python when I was younger.

    So it is great to have discovered its humor later in my life.

    This reminded me of David Ogilvy quote that goes something like

    the best ideas come as jokes, so make your thinking as funny as possible.

    It's really interesting to live our lives - particularly the dull parts of it - using a funny outlook.

    I call it Ellenating life.

     

    Anyway, back to funnies.

    Low 30s here [°C], seems that's about the same as it is in Punta! Clouding over a bit right now, though.

    26C/78F & sunny here this AM. Played early soccer match this morning.

    It was nice to be one of the taller guys on the beach - granted there were just 4 of us.;)

    Looked something like this...

    Maybe I am just too stone, but I think this thread has finally made my mind. I used to be a cat owner back in Buenos Aires, 15 years ago, and I have been playing with the idea of adopting one. I think the decision is made. Gracias por la inspiración charrúa, @Truereview !

    If this thread has persuaded at least one (stoned) lovable Latin bear to save a kitty, it has served its purpose!

    Thank YOU!

    Benefits of Cat Ownership

    Pet ownership in general, and cat ownership in particular can improve your quality of life. Dr. Bradley Smith, one of many scientists who study human-animal relationships, recognises these positive impacts as something he call the “Pet Effect.”

     

    COMPANIONSHIP

    The most common reason to keep a pet is for companionship, so this benefit won’t come as a surprise to anyone. People who don’t have a cat in their lives often believe that cats are unsocial, distant pets. If you’ve ever been the recipient of an affectionate head-bunt from a friendly kitty, you know that the “unsocial” myth is indeed a myth. Cats are not the solitary animals that they had been believed to be.

     

    EXERCISE

    Cats might not need much exercise, compared to dogs and rabbits, but they do like to play with their human companions. Tossing a toy mouse around the living room can get you moving a bit, too.

     

    NURTURING

    People sometimes accuse their friends of turning their pet into a substitute child. By replacing a child or younger sibling as “something to nurture”, a pet often does serve that need. In today’s smaller families, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Everybody needs somebody to love, furry or otherwise.

     

    EMPATHY

    It might be noticed more with dogs, but children who grow up with cats appear to have more practice with considering what other people are thinking and feeling. This experience of empathy helps children learn to relate to other people, and to consider their actions in light of how those actions will affect others.

     

    PURRING

    Petting a cat who’s curled up and purring on your lap is a great way to lower stress and blood pressure. In fact, recent studies have shown that the frequency (or the “pitch”: how high or low the purr sounds to you) of a cat’s purr helps bones and muscles to heal after an injury.

     

    MEDICAL BENEFITS

    Earlier discharges from the hospital, fewer times when visits to the doctor’s office are needed, and lower levels of stress overall are some of the benefits that some researchers have found. Having a cat might also lower your risk of heart disease more than going on a low-salt diet would do, if current research proves to be true.

     

    WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

    Even when social status, income level, and location are taken into account, many studies still showed a measurable advantage to having a pet such as a cat.

     

    Of course you wouldn’t adopt a cat only because you know that keeping a pet is good for your health. A cat is a big responsibility. These benefits are just more reasons for you to love that pet.
