Quoth the young man in Angus & Robertson henceforth to be shunned.

How can you not know how to spell promiscuity?

Promiscuity is phonetic - that's more than every other word in the english language - and is clearly deserving of love. It's a great word, all gently rounded with lovely consonants and it is dripping with portent.

How am I supposed to buy people birthday presents when I am surrounded by illiterate barbarians?

On a happier note, Boffins has copies of Why Paint Cats: The Ethics of Feline Aesthetics by Burton Silver, Heather Busch.

You're funny. (She said, stating the bloddy obvious).

Are you willing to be metaquoted?

Ah yes. Ranting. Fear my rage. There is this great moment when you're in full flight and you feel POWERFUL and then you realise your friends are barely restraining laughter - and not very well at that.

So much for my delusions...

I have no problem with metaquoting.

Done

Rants are often the point were outrage turns into humour. which is why they should be written down while the rage is still burning.

hi, came here via [livejournal.com profile] metaquotes. the book is called "why cats paint"; a friend gave it to me. or was that a joke i misunderstood? i think "why paint cats" is funnier, anyway.

My mother has Dancing With Cats but other titles include:

Test Your Cat's Creative Intelligence: Eighteen Easy-To-Use Test Cards to Verify Your Cat's Artistic Ability
Why Cats Paint: A Theory of Feline Aesthetics
Why Paint Cats: The Ethics of Feline Aesthetics


I think there is also a recent book called Where Cats Meditate - has pictures of felines thoughtfully contemplating fish ponds etc.

..and last but not least

Kokigami: Performance Enhancing Adornments for the Adventurous Man which I am so buying for a certain friend of mine.
