Cat #caturday

A black and white cat sits on top of a beige cat scratch stand. There are reflections in the background. The cat is looking at the camera, which is rare.

Odysseus tied to the ship's mast, forced to listen to the song, is screaming, distraught.

@extrafabulous.bsky.social made this, which repeats in my brain on the regular.

Frodo says: "I will take it. I will take the ring to Mordor" to the Fellowship.
The others then reply: "you have my sword!" "And you have my bow" "and my axe".

Final scene: Frodo staggers odd, carrying all the aforementioned weapons as well as the ring, while the Fellowship wave him off.

Just made friends with this local lad at the beach restaurant. We have confirmed he likes squid and swordfish.

A young grey male cat. "Is he male?" Yes, yes, we checked when he turned around. Very definitely.

Young grey cat beside the blue leg of a chair, on a wooden deck.

It's only *that* day when *that* happens. Otherwise, it's just sparkling 'whatever I have in the fridge' day. Ok that'll do.

An open bottle of Platina Moscato Spumante Dolce (7%) white sparkling wine. It happens to be in the fridge.

"Do you have any Braut Haaland?" "Båll, or æresøl?" "Neither. I wånt it før my ærmpits."

Not the Nine O'clock News Swedish Chemist Shop sketch. The two characters have just made a terrible pun. They turn to look at you, as if daring you to laugh.

Always have been (meme - one astronaut looks at Earth and suddenly realises that something has always been true - perspective provided insight. The other astronaut holds a gun because they that insight is too powerful.)

"No! I am part of the 'more crack heads on public transport' segment of the population" said no-one, ever. Right? (I too got Klein)

"Your closest match is Ezra Klein" oh yeah, buddy? You want to fight?

The Red Hand Gang. Saturday morning, I'd be glued to this (and possibly some Hardy Boys & Nancy Drew)

The Red Hand Gang: a bunch of five kids, who solved mysteries. They are grouped in front of a red brick wall.

I have an Iowa State t-shirt that I bought on a trip to Iowa in summer 1988. It's a bit heavy, so I don't wear it much.

The oh no comic: a pink blob character with a simple face (two dots for eyes, a line for a mouth), on a plain blue background, holds its hands up and says "oh no" in a green speech bubble. From Web Comic Name by Alex Norris.

Noah on the Ark meme: a Smart Car and a Delorean are being confronted by Noah, who is pointing at the fugly Ferrari EV and saying "What the hell is this?"

It is clear that the Ferrari is a strange lovechild of the Delorean and the Smart Car.

It would have landed a knockout blow!

Beverley Pilkington with Henry Cooper, legendary English boxer, where both are dressed in boxing outfits including boxing gloves. Beverley is laying gloves on Henry, with an uppercut. Henry... appears to be lifting her shirt. Uncomfortable.

Cute fr

Meme of two photos of two guys in a cafe bar: guy in loud Hawaiian shirt but with a capybara head points at another guy in hat and dark glasses who is trying to look inconspicuous, and shouts to everyone: "This guy said I don't look cute in this shirt!"
Second photo, the capybara guy has turned back to his companion after getting ignored by everyone: "See, nobody cares"

Going to throw this guess out there: Sand??

Interesting Engineering news (click bait) story:
"We climbed inside the world's largest sand battery. Here's what we found"
It goes on to mention that Polar Night Energy's sand battery survived a winter and provided energy to a nearby town.

From the political quiz: I am most similar to France! Allez!

Bell Curve meme: the low end says "I'll run this old car into the ground", the majority in the middle say "I pay $500 a month and change my car every 3 years" and the high end say "I'll run this old car into the ground"

From "The Good Place". Michael, the designer, is incredulous. "Stephen figured it out? STEPHEN? This is a real low point. Yeah, this one hurts." (This replaces the comment about Jason, who also managed to figure it out, despite being a couple of pints short of a quart in the intelligence department.)

Coincidental bloots? I don't think so.

Dan's post about appointing Tonty Blair, followed by Endless Screaming saying "Aaahhhhhh"

For a brief period of history, around 2004-2015, the Mini Convertible.

A black (dark blue?) Mini Convertible with the roof down. It has tan leather seats, black wheels, rally lights, red brakes, and is sitting in a nice garden.

I made this and I don't know which choice is which.

Meme for button choice: two buttons, both red. One labeled Classic Remain. The other labeled New Remain. Then there is a photo of a macho man in a red shirt, mopping his sweating brow, puzzling which button to push. Even I don't know!

BBC News story headline and photos makes it look like Trump is blocking the Pope from traversing the Hormuz Strait.

A BBC news headline article in a Google feed, showing Trump on one side, and a worried-looking Pope on the other, with the headline "US blockade of Iran's ports set to start in hours"

I had a very similar problem. This might explain.

The Scooby Doo mask reveal meme: Fred pulls the mask off a ghost, saying "Let's see who's behind Wired"
The face behind the mask is revealed to be Conde Nast. "Of course!" says Fred.

I was looking for some Dunottar posting and was not disappointed! I love to visit it every time I'm in the area. Here's a couple of my photos from a few years back.

A photo of a large craggy rock with a green field of grass in front. A thin stepped path winds up through the grass - three walkers are climbing the path. At the top of the crag, against a clear blue sky, is the stone tower of Dunottar Castle. Behind the crags is the North Sea.

A close up photo of some pink flowers and long grass on the left, and short grass with daisies on the right. In the background, the grey stone ruins of castle buildings, probably storehouses, with no roof. Behind them, an azure blue sky.

Me when I find an old blueberry in the bottom of the fridge:

Scene from Star Wars where they are sneaking past the Empire in disguise. They give a code: on the Death Star, a commander says "It's an older one, sir, but it checks out".

Just like my wriggly little blueberries hiding at the bottom of the fridge. Marinading.

No entry to *all you fancy dandies, look at you, strutting about*

A no entry sign with a strutting dandy in Cuban heels and a flared suit. It looks like he has just stepped off the Saturday Night Fever floor!
