It’s a busy tired day here in the CatBox.  Yesterday afternoon, two neighbors, both women, got into a fight in the hallway outside my door, waking me up.  One had a dog that started barking and snarling.  One woman and the dog screamed.  The other woman had pulled the wall mount fire extinguisher and sprayed the other woman and the dog with it, filling the hallway with white powder.  The fire alarm went off.  It was two hours before it stopped and I could return to bed.  They finished cleaning up the mess late last night.  WWWendy is here, and we are busy.  I’ll be back in the saddle tomorrow.  Happy Hump Day!

  1. My goodness, TC! Never a dull moment! I am very fond of dull moments myself, and I expect you are too, not feeling your best. So sorry!

    Cartoon – For shizzle.

    Christmas – Lovely indeed. I particularly like this carol when the appropriate choruses are sung – they so often are not. Thanks.

  2. Cartoon: Oh! But of course!! 
    HI, WWWendy! Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to you and yours, and hope you have a great Holiday!
    Holy Moly! Nothing like NOT getting into the Spirit of Christmas and getting along with others. The snarling dog probably felt threatened for it’s owner, (mistress), but…wow! the other lady using an extinguisher to soak the dog and lady…wow! That white stuff is a mess to clean up too. Glad it got back to normal, though that was quite an episode for you, and not having a chance to relax, rest or sleep. So sorry that happened to you! Take good, good care, and Thanks, Tom. 

    *This just in: “Word is getting out that Pence is not crazy about giving dt the pardon he needs to get out of his crimes. Which is a smart move on his part because if he gives dt his pardons there goes his career and he (likely) would be blamed for dt’s misdeeds. That’s why Pence is going to do his constitutional duty on January 6th, 2021, and skip town or fly off to the Middle East or Europe with Mother. ~ Vicki M. ~ 
    2. “Regardless of whether Trump truly is trying to get anything out of this craven defense of Russia, he is doing this Nation a great disservice and making the US look weak at the feet of one of it’s longtime adversaries. ~ BD H.~ 
    3. “Images of members of Congress who have enabled Trump during this pandemic getting vaccinated before Americans receive covid-19 relief shows how deformed Washington has become.” ~ Jim Acosta ~

    6. “Trump. Gaetz. Jordan. The Three Stooges!” ~ Anon ~ 

    • TJI#1: Does he really think he has a shot at the presidency, as I’ve heard that rumor has it?  But, he could be dog catcher, back in the backwards Indiana from which dt pulled him.
      TJI#3: Yes, but we did not need this further evidence.  “Hoax, hoax, hell, give me the shot for the hoax!”
      TJI#’s 5 &6: Simple bastards!

    • TJI #6 The Three Stooges humor is not funny to me. But I can tell when people are working hard at their craft and doing their best, and dammit, that comparion insults the Stooges.

  3. Who needs excitement like that?
    Elephants don’t like Black Santa’s?  Well, not THAT elephant, anyway.

  4. Two gals and a dog in a fire extinguisher battle outside your front door.  Well, that’s something you don’t see everyday. 

    Reminds of the the SNL scene when a reporter asked fill-in Huckabee Sanders if she was going to take over permanently for Sean Spicer, and Spicer (Melissa McCarthy) takes a fire extinguisher to the reporter who asked the question.  And she definitely zeroed in on his vulnerable region:

  5. You used to have altercations like this happening now and again in your previous apartment building and it seemed to be the order of the day where you lived before that but the COVID-19 year seems to influence everyone in a bad way and now it is happening in front of your door again. Let’s hope that all changes soon as people become more rational in 2021, TomCat.

    3:26 Fake Santa.

    Cartoon: People who will not accept “the holiday season” will certainly not accept a dark-skinned Santa.

    BOXmas: Lovely.

  6. Cartoon: Too bad for them, they’re the ones who will suffer/miss out.
    BoC: Love listening to them sing the beautiful tune.
    My goodness, just what you didn’t need, to be woken up by an altercation between two angry women. Hopefully they were given some sort of warning, so you won’t have that happening ever again.
    Hope you and Wendy got your tasks taken care of.  I wanted you to tell her :Hello” and also to have a very “Merry Christmas” and that’s for her family too. 
    Take care. Thanks TomCat

  7. Thanks and Holiday Hugs to all! 🎅

    Wendy Wishes Merry Christmas to you all!
