Rodents Fear Me

Posted by Scott at 09:33 PM

Mice fear me

Fear me for I am feline!
I am hungry.
You look tasty…

Is there any question as to why we don't have a rodent problem on our property? *grin*

Jingle - I was trying to take a picture of Jingle resting at the top of our bookcase. That's the ceiling and crown molding you see behind him. Lately he rests up there when he wants to escape a smothering of love and affection by Abigail. As I was getting the flash setup and the camera to focus, he started to yawn. What an awesome opportunity! I let the trigger go just as he hit maximum jaw stretch and caught this classic. The kids all giggled when they saw the result and I wanted to share the result.

Videos - On a whim this afternoon I bought six music videos at the iTunes Music Store. First, Michael Jackson's "Beat It". Second, Weird Al's "Eat it". Third Michael Jackson's "Bad". Fourth Weird Al's "Fat". Lastly Weird Al's "White & Nerdy" and "Trapped in the Drive-Thru". (Low res YouTube equivalents linked in…) Seeing the Weird Al parodies right after the Michael Jackson original videos makes them all the funnier. Claire loves seeing Donny Osmond do cameo dance appearances in "White & Nerdy". We both love the absurdity of "Drive Thru".

Great shot! Our kids loved it, too.

Hi Bill,

Glad they liked it. I haven't had a chance to show Claire yet. She was at a friend's house when I took it. Claire will think it looks like Jingle's typical response to Abby's "I want to love him, and hug him, and call him George" approach to pet maintenance. I sometimes wonder if Abby doesn't consider Jingle just a living WebKinz.
