A couple of weeks ago McBec and I were laying in bed reading (exciting, no?) when we heard a bizarre noise coming from the hallway. It sounded kind of like this: sliiiiide, thump; sliiiiide, thump; sliiiiide, thump; sliiiiide, thump. Intrigued, I got up and went to investigate. I found Napoleon sitting on the floor, neck craned upwards, staring at a picture hook that had recently been made vacant by McBec’s neverending picture rotation game. Closer inspection of the wall indicated that Napoleon had been painting it for us.

The picture hook is circled and the section of wall indicated by the arrow has been enlarged below.

If you look closely inside those circles you’ll see sets of three vertical dirty paw pad lines from where Napoleon has desperately tried to climb the wall to “catch” the picture hook.

And just in case you forget what the gorgeous little shithead looks like here’s a picture I took of him chillaxing on the back porch yesterday.

Lazy Sunday afternoon

Excuse my bar-room knowledge, but what is a neverending picture rotation game?

Ignore my last. Yes. I’m a moron.

It’s where the game player is never happy with the placement of paintings and pictures around the house and is forever moving them from place to place.

Sorry. I replied too fast.

Great name for a cat. I say that in full agreement while remembering with fondness my now-dead cat also called Napoleon.

You’ll be watching that pink nose of your cat, won’t you, Mr The? Another cat of mine, Marmaduke, RIP, got cancer on his pink nose. Poor little sod he was. It wasn’t what killed him though, it was a bloody car.

I actually thought it was a game. In fact I’m drawing up a set of rules as I type. It is a cross between the Never Ending Story, a hello kitty magic doodle with the twist of a being an ex-Liberal Party front bencher. Everyone will be playing it…

My partner plays a neverending furniture rotation game and her 2nd favourite is a neverending redecorating game. Yes, I’m now broke.

Napoleon looks a lot better than that “Cat man” on 60 minutes last night - the one (from America of course) who has had his facial features permanently altered to look like a cat. I wonder if he got spayed too?

I think merely looking at him is an effective enough contraception.

Oh dear. From Let’s Cook! With Craig, ep.2 comes this comment from PrinceDeath1:

“LMFAO!!!! this guy is such a narb lets make bangers and mash with peas and carrots lol narb dumb ass aussie putting us down in the shit learn to cook stuff from scratch i can make better crap then that coming home from work”

What the fuck is a “narb”?

And a certain “rodd22″ is leaving lots of comments, all of them rather cheeky. Anyone from hereabouts?!

At any rate, after perusing through the many, many comments, I find it rather alarming that a lot of people just…don’t…get…it.

It certainly gives some credence to the theory of a brain drain in this country, for sure.

It’s not the country, it’s Youtube: the Daniel Plainview of brain drainage.

Sorry, my blockquotage failed miserably. I was meant to quote Bron’s last line from comment #9.
