A couple drove 100 miles in South Africa with a spitting cobra in the car. That’s nothing. Ever try driving with a cat in the car? I did that from Florida to Idaho. The thing kept jumping on me on making a weird monkey squeak like it wanted something, and I was like, “You have two options: You either sit down and shut up or I pull over and let you free into the wild — and frankly, Nermal, you ain’t gonna make it out there.”
Of course, there was a dog in there too. And every once in a while the cat would take a break from pestering me to remember it hated the dog. She’d hiss and swat at the dog, and the dog would stare back in confusion like, “I don’t know what hiss means! Does that mean you want to play with me or that you’re angry at me! I don’t know what that means! Something explain a hiss to me!” And I’m like, “You two either fight to the death or shut up! I’m sick of you!” I’m guessing a cobra probably would have just curled up and left me alone most of trip.
I’ve had pinotage, the now-out-of-favor South African red wine which dominated their market for a long time. A spitting cobra doesn’t sound like much of a much if pinotage is the alternative.
Can’t be any worse than driving 5 miles with three kids in the car. In fact, the cobra would be a welcome relief.
Spitting cobras, cross country cats –nothing to it. Try driving my 2,3,7.and 10 year old children to Sam’s Club on a saturday afternoon!
You guys are talking about driving to the store with kids? My folks used to drive from Colorado to California (and back) for vacation with two small kids in the backseat. “Mother! She crossed the line into my space! Make her stop!” (My mean evil older sister kept moving the line, too).
Now *they* deserve honorary knighthood!
HA! I have you all beat. I have had to drive from Colorado to minnesota with a liberal!
I driven over 100 miles with my mother-in-law in the car. I’ll take a spitting cobra any day.
But Colorado to Minnesota with a liberal beats that…
When I was teaching I had to take three kids to Florida for a week in June to a student conference. One of the kids, a boy in junior high, informed me early in the trip that he didn’t brush his teeth, use deodorant, or bathe daily during the summer. We fixed that quick, fast, and in a hurry.
Not too many people bathe daily. That wastes water. Showering daily after works is mandatory if you work as an outdoor laborer.
When a cat hisses it is simply saying to you one of two things. 1)I think you look like a homosexual and if you get any closer I’m going to protect my backside with these scratchy things that I keep real sharp or 2) I think you look like a retard and I’m hissing to show my contempt for you as a lower life creature. Either is a cats way of telling you to get bent!
Is your other name Wanderer or did you change it to that later on. Anyone that uses a word like ret**d is still mentally in middle school.
With a name like “Nermal,” no wonder the cat hates everyone.
[That’s not her name. That’s just what I call her disparagingly. -Ed.]
Why do people like cats ?! The ultimate disposible pet that you don’t cry too much if a coyote slides out of the desert into the condo area and munches out on socks.
Are you an right wing wife beating insensitive asshole? Many people like cats.
We can assume you were busy defending SarahK during this melee?
[She was driving the moving truck with two other cats. -Ed.]
That’s the problem with SUVs: if you had a regular car, you could have just thrown the cat in the trunk.
freemonsandlewould: cats work great to rid the area of coyotes. instructions:1- drive stake into ground 100 to 200 yards away from your back porch , 2- tie one end of a 24 inch wire to the stake , 3 Atach cat to other end of wire , 4 wait on porch for oportunity to send high speed lead at coyote! If the coyote gets the cat (or if you are a bad shot) get the local paper, people are always giving coyote bait away for free.
I like cats.
Taste like chicken.
Basil: thats funny your picture doen’t look korean
102D MI BN, 1993
7 dogs and a steamer trunk full of firearms, ammo and gun powder (I didn’t trust the movers) in a 2 door, 130,000+ mile Chevy Blazer, Seattle to Michigan to Tennessee with a chain-smoker riding shotgun. Good times!
I hope your shotgun rider has since died an agonizing death. 11/10/20.
I’d just like to say that I have really enjoyed driving automobiles, even with animals in them. I don’t expect to be allowed to do that much longer, and I’m really going to miss it.
The house and land were nice, too, but there was just something great about a car. You know, we really had it good before this happened. I liked it.
You know, they give Nobel Peace prizes for lame ass reasons. Jimmy Carter? Are you kidding me? Give a Nobel to that guy who had to take the 3 Jr Highers to Florida in June dude, no contest.
I hate when the cat decides to hide out under the clutch pedal during the ride.
benedryl works on cats…..
though it makes them foam at the mouth…..
ToyLady,
I’m sure one good, quick, forceful mashing of the Clutch Pedal would remedy that situation really quickly. Either by teaching little Heathcliff to stay the hell away from the pedals, or snapping it’s neck like a chicken bone.
Either way, it probably won’t do that again.
…and they named it “Pelosi.”
“Nermal” LOL. That’s great!
… but Colorado to Minnesota with a liberal is worse.
or 15 minutes of Air America.
Too funny…! Good thing your guns were in the other vehicle…
