kitten

[sabotabby]

In the old days, before the invention of this series of tubes that we call teh intarwebs, communication was far more difficult. For example, I would have said unto you: "Verily, today mine eyes beheld the most wondrous kitten." (And by you, I mean those of you within shouting distance.)

And would you have replied, "O sabotabby, tell me of this fair beastie!"

And then I would have wasted an enormous amount of time describing unto you the kitten's diminutive stature, the magnitude of her yellow eyes, her most delectable pink nose, and her paws upon which were bestowed a most unusual number of toes. By the end of this description I would have still failed to convey the astonishing cuteness of the kitten.

Fortunately, we live in an information age, and I can just





Kitten!

Oh what big beautiful eyes you have.

[sabotabby]

All the better to see the inside of boxes (she lives in a hardware store) with!

[saladbar.livejournal.com]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[sabotabby]

Hey, that's the same noise I made.

[moll-na-gig-67.livejournal.com]

Cute kitty :)

[sabotabby]

Yes. I wanted to snatch her.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Oh, oh, she is so perfect.

[sabotabby]

She was even a bit grubby from playing outside. I know some people like their kittens clean, but to me this was an indication of a rakish personality.

Thank goddess for teh tubes!!!

[sabotabby]

I would have otherwise had to send you all individual etchings by carrier pigeon.

[forunlawfulck.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwww!

[sabotabby]

Yes.

[maeve66.livejournal.com]

Those are a lot of toes, all right. Very adorable. And rakish, yeah.

[sabotabby]

You can never have too many toes.

[jvmatucha.livejournal.com]

Extra toe my eye! That cute lil' kitten is developing an OPPOSABLE THUMB!!!

You realize what this means, don't you???

[sabotabby]

World domination.

[uberbitsch.livejournal.com]

I WANT!

[sabotabby]

We need to get you a kitten ASAP.

[uberbitsch.livejournal.com]

Yes. We do. As soon as the boy comes back from Czech because he's a sappy git and doesn't want to miss out on kittens growing up. Which is fair enough.

[seaya.livejournal.com]

Take it to Key West! ;)

[sabotabby]

I think the woman at the hardware store would be a bit distressed.

[terry-terrible.livejournal.com]

OMG, those eyes! I've just died from cuteness!

[sabotabby]

*revives with more e-kittens*

[threeliesforone.livejournal.com]

OMFG! cats are developing opposable thumbs!

all hail our new overlords!

[sabotabby]

I, for one, welcome our new furry overlords.

Speaking of cute kittehs in days of yore, I just saw saw Shrek II for the first time and nearly burst a gasket when Puss in Boots exclaimed, "CAPITALIST PIG DOGS!"

There is also a snippet of a Tom Waits song in it as well as a Nick Cave number.

One thing troubles me, though: Why did Eddie Murphy's donkey character have to turn into a white stallion?

[sabotabby]

I don't know, but check this out.

[rohmie.livejournal.com]

That might be a valid analysis. I'll have to ponder it. Subtext is everything.

Also in the film, there are light swipes are Starbucks and arguably pro-union sentiments expressed, although to two are unrelated:

SHREK: [bluffing his way into the Fairy Godmother's potion factory] We're from the union. Have you guys been feeling sort of down trodden or oppressed lately?

KEEBLER ELF-LIKE WORKER: [sotto voce] Are you kidding? We don't even get dental.

[genesayssitdown.livejournal.com]

my brother went to the opening show of "snakes on a plane" with me dressed as a series of tubes

[sabotabby]

Pure genius. Did people there get it?

[ornery-chick.livejournal.com]

Ah, I love polydactyl cats. They always seem to be that much cooler. My in-laws have a super-cool Siamese with a zillion oes like that.

And yes this is a cute kitten.

[sabotabby]

I think my brain would explode at a polydactyl Siamese. It'd be too cute to exist, almost.

[ironed_orchid]

AW! KITTY! FEETIES!

[sabotabby]

The toes own you.

[ironed_orchid]

They do.

PS i am drunk and I have kitties in my room, hurrah

[sabotabby]

She didn't even prick me when I picked her up!

[roter-terror.livejournal.com]

I'll take her!

[sabotabby]

I almost did. Fortunately, I checked with the woman in the store, or I might have been arrested for kitten abduction.

[jhfurnish.livejournal.com]

Love that fuzz!

I should get some new pics of my fuzz up soon.

[sabotabby]

Yes, yes you should.

[a-vogon-poet.livejournal.com]

What a sweet fuzzy!

[sabotabby]

OMG, your icon is like the Samuel L. Jackson of kittens.
