2. I don't think there is a real Will Pitt.
Edited on Wed Nov-30-05 12:42 PM by kmla
It's just Ben Stein, posting under a pseudonym.



Or maybe Jim J Bullock.



That's my theory, anyway.

10. Dear Will,
I am unaccustomed to being called a "Fucker" by auto-responders.

Best regards,

Heidi (a member of the DU majority)

Give them something they understand.

He called us fuckers and then went away. :cry:

19. Well, yes.
Usually when someone wants other people to introduce themselves, he'll hang around for the introductions.

Oh -- did you mean am I surprised that he called us fuckers? Well, if he doesn't know us, how does he know if we're fuckers?

:shrug:

Hi, Heidi! :hi:

20. On the other hand,
when someone really cares about other people, that person will engage them in some sort of not-necessarily-insulting discourse, unrelated to the fact that he/she was one of the original 2,000 members of DU. I dunno. Something here smells elitist. :shrug:

"Fucker" is in the eye of the beholder, in my view. :)

Hiya, AirmensMom.

21. I see your point.
I never considered "fucker" being in the eye of the beholder. Hmmm.

Thanks for explaining ... maybe WilliamPitt will come back and explain exactly what he meant.

Isn't it time for you to post a pic? I like seeing them. :bounce:

22. Yes, I think it's now time to kitty-jack this thread!
And here, in all his glory, is The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger, accompanied by Call Me Wesley, one of his obedient companion animals. :evilgrin:

27. Thanks!
We have others ...

Your whole family is beautiful! I used to have a Blue-Point Siamese named Sesame. I don't have a handy pic of him.

But here's baby Satchmo with his big old doggy brother, Sundance, in 1998. They liked to eat each other's food. :loveya:

29. Oh, my goodness!
I'd love to have a pup companion for Ginger, but I'm afraid Gingi has become too territorial (i.e. spoiled rotten) to share his living space. :cry:

(Ginger's not a real Siamese, by the way. He only _acts like it_. His mother is a gray farm cat, and his father was a black and white tuxedo wild cat. We don't know how Ginger came out so beautiful.)

Here's Ginger's nutty brother (my sister-in-law's cat) Barley. :eyes:

35. Is there a problem with that?
Kitties are like that ... even when you've been alone for days, you turn around and there they are, gazing at you. :7

34. OMG, look at Barley!
He looks like a little mischief-maker! I'm totally in love now. :loveya:

We had Sundance first and he went to Rainbow Bridge in 2002. Here's Satchmo's first look at him. :)

(How are we doing at the kitty-jacking?)

24. I think he can do that by replying to every last "fucker" in that thread
What? He's got something better to do?

26. As I understand it, Will Pitt is a man of honor,
and since he started the whole thing, I've absolutely no doubt that he'll reply to everyone with at least one "Beep." :hi:

30. Hiya, jane_pippin!
Just so we can declare this thread officially kitten-jacked, have a photo of my sister-in-law's ever-hungry cat. Barley is good for what ails ya. :rofl:

33. Hi Heidi...cute kitty!
While I have no cats or cat pics, I did hear a kitty meowing around outside earlier so I guess telling that "story" (uh, hey, I heard a cat meow), will have to be my kitty hijacking contribution.

That picture is hilarious. It looks deranged. :rofl:
