Things To Do, People To Be See

Yes, it is possible that at long last we will be resuming our Friday Cat Blogging. But first:

In the category of unusual sightings, we saw a vehicle with Louisiana plates on it way up here in Michigan yesterday. we wonders if they were fleeing hurricane Ivan and couldn't find a room until they got up here; or they're in this area to watch the Ryder Cup. Either way, hope you enjoy your stay!

In the category of unusual happenings*, we would like to report that both of our hands have been scalded by hot coffee in the last 24 hours - once from a vending machine and once from unexpected contact with the in house coffee mistress here at the Mighty K**. We're waiting for the next scalding because we seem to follow the rule of threes*** quite a bit.

In the category of unusual reasons for doing things, we would like to report on a draft update we spied over at our blog host's blog about the upcoming draft if the Torturer in Chief gets re-electorated. This special message goes out to Ally the Roulette Queen: hon, if this does come to pass, and you get drafted, I think we should consider removing ourselves to a more northern location where you would not be compelled to risk your oh-so-valuable life so a greedy pinhead can get a bigger pile o'plunder serve in the military. This offer also goes out to our good friend Nurse Ratched should she require an extended vacation.**** Like, we have friends in the Great White North, eh? So, like, even if it gets a little tricky, like, getting into Canada, eh?, like, we can probably find a way to get you in, eh?

Here's a link to the latest on the draft:

The Impending Draft

And here's a little humour from one of our favorite Canadian cartoonists:

The Impending Draft

* - said unusual happenings happening at the Funny Farm with unusual frequency, especially of late...

** - about which, of course, she said "I have never done anything like that before". If we had a nickel for every time we heard that or "I've never seen anything like that before" or statements of that nature, we wouldn't have to be working for a living anymore...

*** - the rule of threes states that unusual things happen in threes quite often. We are intimately familiar with the concept...

**** - these are two of our favorite nurses. And nurses 18 - 34***** are being targeted in the proposed draft as far as I can tell...

***** -D'oh! We can't even read our own copy, and mistakenly reported that 25 - 34 year old nurses were being targeted for the draft. The Funny Famr News Burro regrets the error.

yeah, maybe we could make some monopoly money with the yankees who think the great white north is where it's at... let's charge them beacoup bucks for entry into the land of eskimo pie, ski-do's and (keep-your-stick-on-the-ice) hockey. make Red Green the poster-person for the movement! just a thought, will have to put more effort into a draft for a sure-fire winner.

p.s. need to think about the U.S. style polotics in Ottowa, or else these new breed of imigrunts will surely infiltrate our system to make it diverge faster toward a radical pagan capitalist societly.

As opposed to the fundamentalist theocracy that the Reform Party wants to turn Canada into? Maybe you can get the 700 Club to join up with Huntley Street and make the Religious Empire of North America! But most of the religiously insane are quite comfortable here in AmeriKKKa - you'll have to give them some incentive to emigrate to Canada...

Better yet, why don't you get all the religious wackos in Canada to go to the U.S.? You could trade them for that new breed of imigrunts you speak so highly (cough) about...
