No Projecting Through The Cat

This is the part where I do a little horn tooting. But, like, not my horn. The cat's. And this is where things get kinda weird and very amusing to me. So do indulge me if you will whilst I giggle a bit.

As most of you know, for about three years now good ol' Abbie the Cat has a blog which gets updated every now and then. There's no advertising for it; everything is strictly word-of-mouth. Most of my projects are like that. Some things just seem cooler if they're Your Little Secret, y'know?

Anyway. This big furry throw rug of a cat is my bestest buddy in the whole wide world. I've had him ever since he was a wee tiny kitten. Some times when I've been low he's just curled up alongside me and put his head on my foot and sighed, and suddenly the world isn't such a bad place. Other times he'll pull some stunt and do something so preposterous (like binging on the catnip while I was at work and then hiding, stoned out of his gourd, half under the couch) I can't get mad at him for all the laughing. Frankly he's given me so much happiness and good cheer by just being a big funky cat that I felt like I had to share that with others. So, uh, without getting too mushy (keep yer boots off) I just want to say thank you to everybody who reads my silly cat blog or wears shirts with his picture on them or tells other people about it or quotes favorite lines and and and stuff. Yeah. I'm just glad the darn thing makes a lot of other people happy too.

So that's the cat. I'm gonna go bug him now with a few chin-chucks.

Amazon's "Plog^TM" is really stupid. "It's like a blog but with a P! And it's on my Amazon front page! Golly! Internet wonders never cease!" I'll get into it more in depth later when I have time to write, but suffice to say that golly gosh gee, it's another way of them pushing the items they want to push and who'da thunk it:

Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man was released today; We thought you'd be interested because you rated Harpo Speaks!.

Oh yes, since I once rated Harpo Marx' autobiography I'm sure to enjoy someone's "lol Michael Moore is fat lol" rebuttal book. Oh, indeed. But what's this?

My Life was released today; We thought you'd be interested because you bought The Moose That Roared: The Story of Jay Ward, Bill Scott, a Flying Squirrel, and a Talking Moose.

Now Amazon supposedly thinks that because I bought Keith Scott's wonderful account of the life and times of Jay Ward Productions, I'd juuuust happen to like Bill Clinton's memoirs?

Bull-puckey.

I'm waiting for Amazon to finally go "You know, we can drop the pretense, can't we?" and head these things with "ITEMS WE'RE JUST TRYING TO PUSH ON EVERYBODY." Because, honestly, this half-assed attempt at justification is really sad.

why attribute Quayle quotes to GWB when he makes his own?

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
