Blog Assignment #1

My dad is a teacher, and at his "staff meeting," which I put in quotes because of the information that is to follow, he and his fellow staff members were told to do the following:

1. Look at this picture of a cat and a beer bottle
2. Describe the events that led up to that picture being taken(?)

My dad did not stand for that shit, and subsequently wrote nothing, because that's what
The Man wants. Randi and I, however, were inspired - inspired to write the first blog assignment. I am also a teacher, so that means I know A LOT about school. And in school, we teachers give assignments, because that is how people learn facts and factoids and information. Or something. I never went to a class about this teaching shit.

So, Randi, please:

1. Look at this picture of a cat and a beer bottle


2. Describe the events that led up to that picture being taken

My response will be posted after yours, because I have to give my slutty cat a bath after she ran away, probably rubbed herself against the undercarriage of a car, then got stuffed by some neighborhood boy cat. And cat bathing takes time.

Just to inform you what kind of reader you have, let me say that this nerd has taken the assigment upon herself, purely out of need to be involved. there are 2 stories that could lead up to this picture, the fact and the fiction.

the fiction: this cat, fluffy meowingkins, had a promising career as a mouse chaser. he was at the top of his game, catching up to 50 low-life, no good mice a week and getting plenty of 'tail'. the occasional, 'social' catnip at parties and the high of the chase eventually led to an obssesion. despite muliple interventions, fluffy continued on a downward spiral. after years of pain and suffering, he found his soulmate, dutchess, who turned his life around. they married, settled down, and started a family. fluffy got a job as a house cat, with good perks and little exercise. he now spends his evenings, relaxed on the sofa keeping his boss's seat warm, remote in paw wondering, 'what the hell is this thing?' hoping his boss returns before his drink spills.

the fact: the cat's owner's douche bag boyfriend thought it would be funny to put the cat in this pose while his drunken buddies took the pic for proof and later amusement.
