Cat remote control

Of course we have gone way off track, and far too serious. Thanks for the pics of BooBoo and Doc. Just adore those two.

 

Of course, that can be left to a separate, non-cat-related thread

 

Lame Jayman. Those are repeats

 

If only people would.

 

But you can. YOU can treat people as you would want to be treated. Its called Empathy.

 

I can. But I can't control other people.

 

No of course not. No one can. But sometimes when you treat people well, you get it back tenfold.

 

Same as with animals, you treat them well and they will love you forever.

 

Don't worry I am no Angel. I only have empathy for people I like. :kiss:

 

You can always post cat threads anywhere. There is a special dispensation from the Pope. You can also post cat posts in non-cat threads.

"Don't worry about cat hair. There's cat hair everywhere"

Likewise there can be cat posts and cat threads and cat pictures everywhere. FHOPol would be much improved by some cat threads and cat posts in unrelated threads.

Australia may not have "real" winter by Canadian standards, but by Australian standards Canada does not have real summer. I think the interior gets to about 60 degrees Celsius in summer.

Don't leave us out! For pure unadulterated cruelty and brutality, the U.S. has you both beat. We're number one!

On the other hand, if everybody else treats everybody nicely, then I can get away with being a jerk, and people will still be nice to me because they'll assume I'm just like them.

The best of all possible worlds! All I need is a cat and a girlfriend and for everybody to be nice to me.

We are trying to be nice to you Daniel, and it is not hard to get a cat, but the other well.......:noidea:

 

Would you want to live in a country full of Americans and Canadians? Really? See, there is a reason it's so strict.

If you want to come to Australia for a holiday you need an Electronic Visitor's Authority. It is an online application and a fee of $20 Australian, or on a good week about 5 quarters. (exchange rate dependant)

Once you have the authority you can buy tickets and come to Australia at your pleasure over the following 12 months for stays no longer than 3 months each. You don't need to carry anything but your passport and you know you will be able to come into Australia before you even make a booking. You pay the fee with a credit card on application.

Daniel, I am a compliance officer but not a police officer. I don't deal with real crooks.

 

Unless you have a criminal history. Then you must file on paper for a visa, which they will glue into your passport if you are approved. And you have to send in your passport to the Australian embassy.

Then why are you so upset about not meeting me? If you met me you'd be dealing with a real criminal. Well, an ex-con to be precise. I'm not actually wanted for anything right now, as far as I know, unless Wisconsin still wants me for the time we were arrested for inspecting the Navy's ELF site, and we were released on our own recognizance, and I told the judge I would not return for trial because I lived out of state, and he released me anyway, saying, "If you ever return to Wisconsin you'll go to jail." But then when we were convicted (me in absentia) and the others appealed, it was thrown out on the grounds that the law we were arrested under didn't actually exist. I planned to go back and turn myself in to do my jail time, but circumstances conspired against me and I never had a chance to return to Wisconsin. So I don't know if I'm still wanted for breaking the nonexistent law, because I don't know if the appeal threw out all of our convictions, or only those of the appellants.

But all that aside, as it was only one of several arrests and convictions, I am a criminal. And an unrepentant one at that.

 

Oh bunny, but you're hard to please!

Fine, I took these today. With a *real* camera, hint hint

BooBoo sleeping in his pet taxi. Usually Doc is beside him, but he was in the can when I took the photo



Doc lounging on the mat, looking out the glass door. Yes, I also posted this in the other cat thread



Enjoy

 

I can't. It's easier for me to control other people, especially if they need an obvious "tune up"

Now, animals are entirely different in that respect, and you should know that. I very much prefer my pets to the company of most people, and I freely admit it too

Unlike humans, pets won't play sinister backstabbing mind games with you at work (Though I usually win such games at work). They won't grow up to teenage years and tell you to go f*** yourself (If I had ever had kids, and they tried a stunt like that, they'd still be looking for the corpus).

After a day of bulls*** at work, having barely won the latest deranged sinister mind games from worthless co-workers, with a throbbing migraine to boot, when you step in the door from the garage, pets are *always* happy to see you

I agree

No doubt, if somebody like Pat visited me in July with the outside temp +37 C and humidity 65%, he'd have a long sleeve shirt, possibly a sweater on, and I'd be in shorts, sweat freely running off my bald shiny head, not even capable of lifting my arm to bring the beer to my lips

Oh I do not know. Every nation, race, color, creed, etc, is capable of unspeakable acts of violence against another human. Not sure what is worse though: a nation that tries to justify it, or a nation that pretends to be a do-gooder little angel and ignore their recent history

Sounds like a plan. Let me know how it works out

Awwwwww very cute

See above, my comment about how certain nations perceive themselves

According to my records, the last time I was in Australia was 2005. I was at BP's Kwinana refinery near Perth. Obviously, that was work related. It's nice when somebody else pays for your flight and accomodations.

The only problem I had, they let me drive around in a diesel Landcruiser. It wasn't the newer V8, but the inline 6, and a stick shift. I was raised on a stick shift, but with my right hand doing the shifting. I hope they didn't have to replace the transmission after I got done with it

I've never been to Australia as a tourist. Rather than make one huge trip out of it, I'd sooner make 3-5 smaller trips, to particular areas.

It's like when tourists visit Canada, and spend all their time in Toronto or Vancouver. There is an entire country to see outside the urban landscape, which ironically is the same all over the world. Been to one big city, they all look and smell about the same

Any particular hassles crossing the border into Canada?

Let's see here, you dug a small hole in the ground at a Minuteman site. Last time I checked, they were designed to withstand nearby megaton nuclear yields.

And you tried to cut down a pole at an ELF experimental site. Not like you're a corrupt politician, corrupt bank CEO, or corrupt cop

 

Jayman, if you were a girl I'd marry you for your cats. Except that if you were a girl you wouldn't want me.

True story: When I was at the university in Queretaro, Mexico (central plateau) I had walked to school one day in shorts and shirtsleeves, as it was around 75 F. (24 C.) and a classmate was wearing a full sweat suit. I asked her about it and she replied that she was from coastal Oaxaca and said, "Where I come from, it never gets this cold."

Just once. On my way to the Winnipeg airport to catch a plane to Toronto and thence to Cuba. The border guards normally asked "Do you have any alcohol, tobacco, or firearms?" But on this occasion they asked if I'd ever been arrested. This led to a two-hour visit (I had scheduled 3 hours for possible delays, thinking traffic jam) which ended with my paying $100 or $200 (I forget which) for a letter declaring me "rehabilitated" in the eyes of the Canadian immigration folks. I need to have my letter with me any time I go to Canada. Only once since then have they asked me if I have ever been arrested, and I told them "Yes, and here's my letter" and I had no problems.

It was a friend of mine who cut down the pole. But here's the thing: everybody excuses their own crimes. The cops and politicians claim that their corruption is justified because of all the good they are doing. Tax evaders justify their crimes by pretending that taxation is "theft." Speeders justify their crimes by saying that they were driving at a "safe" speed. I justify my crimes by saying that a good citizen must protest against his nation's WMDs. I'm proud of being a criminal.

When Henry David Thoreau was in jail and Ralph Waldo Emerson asked him, "What are you doing in there?" Thoreau's reply was, "What are you doing out there?"

 

They are still cute. Love those cats.

 

Oh Doc and BooBoo have so got you right where they want you.

The best played mind games are the ones you never know about.

 

Awwwwww what a nice compliment

Though I really do think you're a bit too hard on yourself

She would just *love* a brisk -42 C day

Want to bet there is no such thing as this "official" letter, and it was just a scam so the customs agents could buy beer and booze for a wild weekend party?

Seriously, I have never heard of such a document. A quick search of the CBSA website didn't uncover it either

Yes, good point
