It’s time for the boys to shine.
klusmanp has posted a new video. We’re a fan of the Engineer’s Guide to Cats. We like this one too.
Yes, yes, I’m a Star Wars fan. It’s not my fault! I have even gone to pay my respects to Yoda.
While it’s a holiday for some, for the rest it’s another Manic Monday and some humor is certainly needed. I’ve heard it said that cats are aliens. They are certainly strange… and funny.
This video proves that cats can be VERY strange.
And to cap it off, we have cats with thumbs.
Well, for most of you, it’s the middle of the week, aka humpday. Here’s a bit of humor to get you through the rest of the week.
For our wonderful friend and cat mum Flumptytail…
And now, by request… More dog
Two years ago today, Lastech and I made an important decision. We quit smoking. I had wanted to quit, but Lastech wasn’t there yet and I wasn’t going to bug him. I brought home a book from the library. It was called The Easy Way To Stop Smoking by Allen Carr, and it was a short and easy read. Lastech started reading it while I was cooking. I read it the next day. The day after that, we had our last smoke. We have had two years of freedom and no intention of ever lighting up again. 🙂 Hooray for us.  If you wish to read the book, your library will probably have it. Most of them do. The price at Amazon is fairly cheap, as hardcovers go (see link). While the method in the book is cold turkey, it doesn’t matter. It’s a very good read even with nic replacement. In the end, it doesn’t matter how you quit.
I wouldn’t remember the day we quit smoking except that the day before (August 1st) was my mom’s birthday. She is now an octogenarian. Happy birthday to mom!
Now for some humor to celebrate the day.
This is what can happen to the human tin opener.
Gotta have a dog in here.
Last, but not least is a wonderful but strange video about sheep.
Here are a couple of humorous videos for your viewing pleasure.
I couldn’t resist a bit of humor today. Simon’s Cat is always a bit of fun. Kitsy would do this, I’m sure. Tito is polite, but Kitsy is a food thief extraordinaire. You can NEVER turn your back on food when he’s around.
For a little inspiration, here is a video from Best Friends Animal Shelter in Kanab, Utah. One day, Lastech and I will manage to go visit the shelter. Dogtown, which is shown on the National Geographic Channel is filmed there. It is the largest animal shelter in the United States.
I just have to add a little bit of doggie to the mix.
For anyone who is a fan of Sphynx kitties, Nofuratu has a new post about his trip to New Orleans in his blog, Adventures of a Naked Cat.
I felt that a bit of humor was needed and I’m a fan of Star Wars, so here you go.
“The illusionist” – (2010, UK/France, 80 minutes – rated PG)
Note: this review contains spoilers.
Adapted from an original script written by Jacques Tati in 1956, “the illusionist” retains all the charms from Sylvain Chomet’s previous animated film “the triplettes of Belleville”.
Watch the trailer here:
“The illusionist” is a very different kind of film though, partly because it is semi-autobiographical, but mainly perhaps because of the controversy as to which of Tati’s daughters the script was dedicated. Tati had a daughter out of wedlock during WWII with an Austrian dancer named Herta Schiel. Pressured by his sister, Tati abandoned mother and child, and went on to start a family with Micheline Winter, with whom he had a second daughter, Sophie, and a son named Pierre.
Each side lays claim to Tati’s original intent. Did he write out of sorrow and guilt for abandoning Helga Marie, or regret at having missed much of Sophie’s childhood while on the road?

I do love Star Wars. 🙂
It’s not Star Wars, but it’s funny
Based on the list below, characterize Chevy Chase’s type of “diversion” in the clip:
