    Important Questions —Ian Warfield
   Greetings all, It seems to me that LUGNET could use a good lighthearted release from all the friction that's gone on here recently. To that end, I've developed a list of questions that I think we ought to consider... If you're exploring a mammoth (...)

         Re: Important Questions —Christopher L. Weeks
      Look you two, this kind of fun has no business in .debate. ;-) (...) You must not have cats. We put it opposite the way you do to avoid having completely unravelled and turned into confetti in the night. Chris (22 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
     
          Re: Important Questions —Larry Pieniazek
       (...) You must not have very *smart* cats... that would *never* foil ours. We keep the stuff under the sink behind a door they can't open. (who here is surprised that I think even my CATS are smarter than average??) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
      
           Re: Important Questions —Jude Beaudin
        (...) Or so they let you think. (...) But are they smarter than you? Jude (22 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
      
           Re: Important Questions —Ian Warfield
       (...) If CATS are so smart, why what he say not proper Engrish? *runs away* Ian :) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

           Re: Important Questions —Larry Pieniazek
        (...) Since ours latches with baby latches(1) and also is stiff hinged enough that our kids can't open it either, it's not a matter of smartness it's a matter of paw strength, which they ain't got. So nananana na na back at ya babe. 1 - They could (...) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
       
            Re: Important Questions —Dave Schuler
        (...) Man, you are SO out of it. They're not going to grow thumbs while you're looking--that would be just silly! Dave! (22 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
       
            Re: Important Questions —Larry Pieniazek
        (...) Well of course not, silly. I'm saying I'm going to cut them off (from their food supply) if they show signs of it. My cats may be smarter than everyone else's cats but that doesn't mean that I LIKE them. They're still vermin. Just (...) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
       
            Re: Important Questions —Dave Schuler
         (...) I guess that's okay, as long as you're being sensible about it. Dave! (22 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
       
            Re: Important Questions —Lester Witter

            Re: Important Questions —Dave Schuler
        (...) Of course, once the rats are caught, the bubonic fleas will feast on people. Therefore I support Larry in his rebuke of his vermin! By the way--brushing between meals will help eliminate plague. Dave! (22 years ago, 13-Mar-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

           Re: Shaggy cat stories —Bruce Schlickbernd

My cats will gladly rip up paper towel rolls if I leave them lieing about anywhere, but they are just too plain stupid to figure out that those are the same things once the rolls are in a proper holder.

          Re: Important Questions —Ross Crawford

          Re: Important Questions —Ian Warfield
      (...) Would that be Crystal Caves vol. 1: The Trouble With Twibbles? :) I love those old adventure games and lighthearted shareware arcade games.

         Re: Important Questions —Ian Warfield
     (...) I say "plooh", and I giggle uncontrollably at those who say "pluff". I spell out "X-Y-Z-Z-Y", but I suppose that one allows more variance. By the way, do the words work for every pronunciation? Ian (22 years ago, 14-Mar-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
    
         Re: Important Questions —Ross Crawford
     (...) Yep, but you've gotta have a text-based terminal handy to type it in! BTW, I pronounce them "ploog" and "zizzie" ROSCO (22 years ago, 14-Mar-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
