Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

[ImJustKCClone]

I like cats a lot but they are the true sociopath in the animal/pet kingdom.

One hangs around my dad's and my dog freaks out at it sometimes, and the cat just sits there and calmly stares at it to a point where the dog looks terrified.

I have a 20+ lb black cat who is bigger than many small dogs. He looks very scary. However, he is the laziest, most laid-back cat that lives with us. I laugh when people are afraid of him...all he wants to do is eat and occupy every square inch of available laps. Oh, and eat. Did I mention that he likes to eat?

This cat was a stray that must have lived with dogs or something. It's as cool as they come and I think the non-reaction is intimidating.

Oppenheimer up for 13 categories and is 0-3 so far. Out of all the movies nominated, I've only seen 3 and heard of 3 others.

TIL the meaning of grok.
Kind of funny if you think about it.

Technically I had to look it up because I was missing one letter to finish a crossword puzzle.

Thought you said you found out where it came from? It's from "Stranger in a Strange Land"...early 60s or late 50s...I read it in high school.

No, I searched for the word grok.

I haven't seen it or pretty much anything that is nominated. Cox cable is running a promo for the "snubbed" collection and show Beau is Afraid. I somehow made it through the agony of watching that piece of junk.

LOL, we had a black dog that was tough on kittens, being on a farm couldn't always head her off in time. Once she had a kitten cornered and it's mom came charging in and chased her clear across the road. Didn't stop her from doing it again but she lost that round. It was pretty funny watching a little cat chasing a big lab cross at full speed and the dog yipping as it ran.

You're counting down. Are you using BCE dates here?

Any questions we can ask that help us there are good. After all, they may not have written it down back then, and maybe didn't even have writing.

She predates cuneiform, right?

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

She predates cuneiform, right?

You should probably be careful because I’m sure she has fire. And a spear.

Most likely. Good questioning might help us pin that down.

And opposable big toes!! But I still must speak the truth in love.

Oppenheimer on a roll now. But yeah, I've only seen that, GotG 3, and Mission, heard of a few other and that's it. Like what are these other movies? If these movies are so great, why weren't they advertised more?
