lol...dan..you made me spit my coffee! :)

I agree completely. And your post already flushed out one extra moron - maybe there will be more. Animal abuse is a crime - with jail time.

yes, but staged, ironic humor isn't. relax, guys..i don't think we're out loading guns and setting traps due to reading this post..lol.

I'm not weighing in on the animal issue at all, it's the social ineptitude that I'm taking issue with. He would have been much better off saying,

"I realize that most of you are kidding, at least I hope you are; but please realize that some of us are very sensitive to remarks made about animals and you may unintentionally offend someone."

Attacking people is hardly an effective means of helping them see your point of view.

to insist upon total political correctness on a bbs..is, well..i think an exercise in futility, no?

postscript: no animals were harmed, either implied or intentionally during the posting to this thread..

Cats are not on the "Endangered Species List" but many, many animals are. Lots of other life-forms are dying because of man-made problems such as not spaying, or neutering pets.
The oceans are depleted with "Clear-cut fishing" (Dredging) with huge nets so that pet food can be made.
However, this BBS is about Porsche stuff and so...................
Still no sympathy for cats.

cats were here b4 us..........we adopted them ....nuff bashing

OK I take back my over the top approach...I was just sitting there this morning with my cat peacefully purring on my chest... and saw some of the comments and posts on this thread and my language got a little forceful. Sorry if this offended anyone.

The original thread starter didnt intend to kick off a cat bashing orgy (though he did make a stupid joke)...but that is always inevitable as cats somehow are a threat to certain fragile male psyche for some reason or another.

BTW...I have car covers on my 911s when sitting in the garage at my apartment complex. Easy and cheap solution to protecting the car paint. Ask your wife to buy you one Jack!

LvSteve...so how is life on that odd little isolated planet of yours?

I can see how a level headed response free from profanity would seem odd to you. Feel free to come visit some time, it would do you some good. http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/...s/beerchug.gif

Yeah. I have a car cover, but the car was too dirty to put a cover on it. Shame on me.

I love Cat jokes. I love dog jokes. Our family owns one of each. Here's a good one and let's close the thread of this one.

One day Mrs. Jones notices Sally digging a big hole with a shovel. Mrs Jones asks Sally what's she doing to which Sally replys, "Burying my gold fish." Mrs. Jones then remarks, "but that's a really big hole for a gold fish." To which Sally smartly sez, "yeah but the gold fish was in your ****ing cat's stomach!"

The End.

Nope...staying away from the Kool-aid that you are guzzling.

:eek: :eek: HOLY CRAP!!!:eek: :eek:

I go away for a couple days and look what happens!

FIRST, as Ryan pointed out this was an attmept at humor - apparently a poor one judging from the open hostility it resulted in.

I love animals notwithstanding the size of my,....uh....er..."Richard"! (Uh oh, more ill advised humor). I have two Labradors at home and I have had a number of carts over the years. I'd have one or more right now but my gielfriend is allergic

Me thinks a few people here have their BVDS's on a little too tight. However, in the interest of diffusing this and not getting this thread banned (I'm already on the raw edge of that):

I really do, sincerely apologize if I offended anyone. I was just trying to get a laugh from the original poster to ease his angst.

Believe me, when I came home to find my then 6 month old Lab sitting on the roof of my old 944 and the next week found him in the yard chewing on the front license plate off my girlfriend's Audi TT I was more than a little torqued out of shape. He is alive and well, I didn't give him to the dog pound or beat him or anything. Geeez

A big shout out to Ryan for attempting to defend me in my absence. I guess we now know why my car collections do not rival Jerry Seinfeld's or Jay Leno's, huh?

Ryan, I like you more and more and I've never even met you. Your comment hit the nail EXACTLY on the head (not an animal's head). I guess we must think alike! Why else would we be driving these awful, terrible, horrible, worst-of-the-genre Mid Year cars unless we did? No kidding, thanks Ryan.

"Cat Scratched Paint - How To Fix"

IHMO, fixing the cat will not keep it from scratching your car. However, fixing the cat will keep it from breeding and producing more P-Car scratching animals :D

My dogs have their own bedroom and I have adopted several from the local spca. As much as I love animals, it amazes me that some people put them above the health, welfare, and consideration of other human beings.

Cats have only one use for humans A.F.D. Automated Food Dispenser. Any appearance of affection is simply an attempt at activating the aforementioned A.F.D.

And just in case anyone takes offense to the following image, my sister is a proud participant in the special olypmics.

Now Jim..............be advised that these attempts at humor can have serious side effects. Apparently the temperature in your cardiac cavity may drop precipitously, your gonads are subject to dissapearence and the size of your uh....er...."gold member"?...well, lets just say it may change.:D

SonicDB - I am just busting your balls man. I (later) read your disclaimer on the tone of your response and I am completely cool with it. We all have our days! Hell, if we didn't razz the hell out of each other - particuallry when someone gets a little wound up - what fun would it be? So I am cool if you are. - Dan

P.S. Serious kudos to your colorful, borderline-but-not-bad-enough-to-get-censored web cursing.

lvSteve - Oh man, that is SO politcally incorrect...and pretty damn funny too!

The problem with a bbs or Email is that no one can tell if comments are just ironic or more serious. In person you can see the speaker's face; by phone you can hear voice inflections.

True, but then to react so strongly can only set in motion a set of strong reactions. Believe me, I know. I have been the one to express a strong reaction in the past and I've been called out about it...and from "the man" too! I'll leave it at that but, lvSteveH's picture - despite its questionable taste - is not only funny but pretty accurate (and yes, I still think it is funny despite nothing but empathy for developmentally disabled persons).

Its why talkradio works. Just say something outrageous and sit back and wait for all the pent up confusion, frustration, anger and emotion to come venting out.....which only perpetuates another round of...? confusion, frustration, anger and emotion. Hence, ratings and MONEY.

To return to the original post. Don't hurt the cat, it had no intention of damaging anything it was just trying to keep from sliding off the car.
