    Stress relief or waste of time?

    It seems to me that tempers have been a little shorter than usual around here this past week or so. Folks are being nastier than necessary and there are lots of little flare-ups occurring.

    To that end, I introduce Maukie a harmless, cartoony little black & white kitten who tracks the movement of your cursor around the screen, occasionally batting at it when you get too close. She also miaows and will purr if you rub her tummy (move your cursor over her).

    It's stupid, it's pointless, and since it was making the 'net rounds a while back, chances are everyone already knows about it, but despite its disgusting cuteness, I kinda like it. And unless you completely hate cats, it can also be good temporary stress relief. And no, you can't strangle or otherwise maim Maukie. Be nice.

    And I think I already mentioned this one on the old board, but if you're looking for something to make you laugh, check out the 214 Things Learned That You Can't Do in the Army. Heh. There are a few that are almost Stargatey in nature, particuarly "I am not in need of a more suitable host body." And I can definitely picture Jack testing out a few of these on the Air Force...

    I hope this doesn't count as spamming. And if anyone else has any funny snippets or good "stress relief" type ideas, post 'em here till the Big Bad Mods come along and blow the thread down.

    Nice animation. Did you make that Maat?

    Oh, and I hate cats, so I need to be angry in this thread!!!

        I'm hoping that if I go from side to side fast enough, I'll break the cat's neck.

            But then again, I'm just kidding.

                  So cute! I love the purring.

                  Thanks, I've had a terrible day and this made me laugh. Maukie looks a lot like my cat (and seems like a lot less trouble).

                      Thank you, Shadow! I'm also deathly allergic and jealous of those who CAN live with cats.

                      My favorite stress relief is drumming. These folks are putting on summer drum circles in my town (see "Invitation" on home page). Went last night and benefited from drum therapy.

                        1.) my boyfriend is going away for a year in japan, that is no good
                        2.) i want to talk to my friend but she's in cincinatti and is too busy right now
                        3.) my cousin is on semester at sea, and even if she werent i doubt she wants to talk to me anymore *probably because she thinks she's better than i*
                        4.) my stomach hurts
                        5.) i got a strange letter about something that isnt a big deal, but i'm making it out to be a big deal
                        6.) i've spent far too much money recently...

                        maybe i will try it out...

                            Aww....I love cats....that one looks like Nero, one of my ten cats (and yes, if he could, he *would* probably burn down Rome and recite strange poetry...)

                            Anyone know "Poking the Penguin"?

                            Poke me!

                            Thanks to bling for the great sig!

                              Definitely "Stress relief",IMO,Shadow.Great Thread !

                              I love Maukie ! Very like my beloved (now deceased), cat Holly.She was a perpetual kitten,who'd play anytime....unlike the bad tempered,paranoid Furballs I have now . They think of me as keeper of the tin opener and won't play at all...


                              To Iskandra: Thanks for the link. I love that little guy's attitude.lol !
