No one is supposed to be younger than me. Didn't they get the memo?

"I can do “small work” in the shed. (so to speak)"

Wee little minimalist paintings for the well-appointed doll house?

"The shed is my reasonable facimile of an art studio."

Why don't you call it your studio? Or is that too affected for you? Shed just has a kind of Deliverance vibe about it.

"I got a “C” in that class. The only “C” I ever got in College. Ruined my chance to graduate Magna Cum Lowd. (3.49 GPA, just missed!) Just because of that guy!"

You should have protested, argued about how you put your entire self into that ball of light and you did some of the most important work of your life in that class and blah blah. I had one instructor do that to me as well, nearly ruining my chances of graduating with honors, so I argued him back up to an A. He was truly wrong--I deserved an A! That's the only time I ever argued about a grade.

"Magna Cum Lowd"

I hope you weren't trying to bait me here. It's not going to work!

I have always wanted one of those, actually. I did some of that at SF State in the mid 70’s when I took a class called “The Psychology of Consciousness” LOL

We did a lot of laying out on the grass and listening to the guy tell us to “feel the warm ball of light move up through our bodies” I’m SERIOUS!

Don't comment Senor-X, just walk away, too easy, must refrain.

"Honestly, only GOOD vibes come out of (or go into ) the “Shed”."

I really don't want to know what happens in your shed!

"Don’t comment Senor-X, just walk away, too easy, must refrain."

Oh come on, this is not the place for restraint! At least not *that* kind of restraint.

I know, I know, GPA doesn't matter outside our own heads. It's just the principle of the thing. But at least you can be proud you didn't compromise yourself for the almighty A.

I realize I left myself vulnerable there. Must be more vigilent in the future.

"So just what did you do to get that grade changed, Jamie?"

Hahahahahahahaaaa. So funny. Nothing scandalous. I just pointed out the grades I'd gotten on my papers, -t-he fact that I'd done all his stupid busy work and showed up for all his stupid lectures, along with the fact that he'd given me an A-, but his syllabus didn't have that grade listed on it--it only listed the grades A, B, C, etc.

The big question: will we see Huh 1000 before day's end? I don't know. I'm going to go get my work done and will check back later. Ciao!

Oh come on, this is not the place for restraint! At least not *that* kind of restraint.

Now Jamie I've seen your website and ahem, your photo, I really really do not need the (your photo) + (restraints) = one of your books. equation running through my already clogged head.

I have to go to Berkeley today and purchase art materials for the budding artists to turn lead into gold with, so I will not be around for a while. (THANK GOD, right? LOL)

Jack in Berkeley? Well I guess the apple truly doesn't fall far from the tree now does it? Just be sure when you're at amsterdam art you don't venture up to the local "head shop" on telegraph ave. Do then still have your frequent huffer card on file there? I kid I kid. :)

(not investement advice)

then does not = they

No Fuchs yet, but he is still under his previous 14 day haitius. I swear I'm caning his orange furry ass when he returns. Someone is eating all the food in the outdoor dish though. I remain hopeful as the reality is too painful. This would be a hit that I couldn't just shake off.

Thanks Jack, I need all the "good energy" I can get to bring that fucker back. He's a HUGE part of my life and I really really miss him. posted more pics at surferx.blogspot.com

COME BACK MR FUCHS.

There is no thread bubble.

Long live the Fuchs.

Today is the day that a FUCHS will come home and receive a throrough caning!

Now that's truly odd, I too believe he's coming back today. My estimate is 9:32pm at 11.5 lbs, that's 6.5lbs less than his fighting weight.

(PeterP will be vindicated too, as the October 10 sigma event will have happened with Fuchs’ return!)

Given a choice, I would rather have the return of Fuchs.

Post komments now or you will not able to do so before this thread hits 1000K level.

I think I have done my level best to inflate this thread beyond all reason...Oh yeah, there is no thread bubble!

You have a web site? Curiouser and curiouser......

"You have a web site?"

Maybe Surfer-X should change his screen name to Surfer PI, or Detective X. ;-)

“You have a web site?”

Whoops, sorry man, didn't mean to leak the secret!

"I would love to write a book, but I am horrible at self editing and never seem to progress."

You should do it! You don't seem to have any problems with self-editing and progress here on the blog. :-) You're always articulate. I would be happy to recommend resources if you want.

No secret, just not advertised. ;-)

You are kind and generous to a confused and aimless writer wannabe. :)
Any good resources would be much appreciated.

Bubble? Who said bubble?

I'm adding my positive thoughts and energy toward the return of the little Fucher TODAY! Ooooooooooooommmmm.

SactoQT, thank you.

I think he got tired of paying his rent. Mind you, his rent consisted of the following, daily, 1) 5 minutes of unlimited petting, and 2) a bit of ear nibbling.

Can I come live with you?

"1) 5 minutes of unlimited petting, and 2) a bit of ear nibbling."

He pets you and chews on your ear? You've got that cat trained.

"Any good resources would be much appreciated."

Okay, I'll write some stuff down and send it to you later today!

Coooooool.

Nope, Fuchie is a bit of a biter, after your 5 minutes is up, he nibbles you. So during my 5 minute daily rent payment, I nibble his ears.

Note: cat ear nibbling (CEN) is "NOT" investment advice.

So during my 5 minute daily rent payment, I nibble his ears.

I knew that notched ear didn't come from a cat fight.

SactoQT, I can confirm the ear notching came from a cat fight. Took him in to UC Davis vet med clinic and evidently they are very experience with the brawling toms. The doctor said, "he'll have a big cut on his chest where he got bunny kicked". Sure enough, big cut on the chest. Seems cat fighting involves pining your opponent, biting the ear, bunny kicking the chest with the back paws and pulling your teeth through the ear. Fuchie is a large large cat, he is usually 18lbs and is not fat at all, has 8 claws on each front hand, and is very very fast/strong. So I sudder to think what damage he did on his opponent. First rule of Cat Fight Club is there is no Cat Fight Club, second rule of Cat Fight Club is there is not Cat Fight Club, third rule of Cat Fight Club is if this is your first night, you must fight.

I must pass this on to my cat. Did I tell you my cat is a virtual twin to Fuchie? My husband would gladly give him to you, but then I'd have to kill him. (my husband that is)

SactoQT, you have a large orange cat? Did you know that they are 99% male? Is your cat a 8-toed mutant like mine also? Mr. Fuchs is amazing, so lazy, so beautiful, so jerky, ahhhh to be a beautiful talented athlete that is dummer than a bag of hammers.

I have to count my cats toes. Actually, I think he has the normal number, but he really looks just like Fuch's. He's a complete asshole too. Another funny trait my cat has is that he totally prefers men to women. I stayed with my parents while I was planning my wedding, and my cat completely ignored me in favor of my dad. To this day 7 years later, when my dad comes over the cat comes running as if to say "you're here you're here!" Dumb jerk would leave me in an instant if my dad asked.

But he's good with my kids so he gets to stay. I thought he'd be complete hell with the kids. But he's so damn ornery he refuses to let the kids chase him out of a room. He just lays there and takes their abuse out of sheer perversity.
