The Slinky Cat says gimme some tongue, baby, and don't be shy

I don't usually go for quizzes and memes and whatnot, although an occasional one catches my eye. I also don't usually get caught up in the media frenzy revolving around Xiaxue. But with a sentiment like this, how could I resist? So here we go, my contribution to Singapore's very own "I'm Too Sexy For My Blog" conga line. Here's one campaign the government won't endorse.

On second thoughts, naaaah.

rematch: colonialist vs slinky

In other news, Slinky has to face evil white guy again. Trouble is, I think this time I'm slated to lose through no fault of my own. But I hate losing. I'll going to try and kick his lily-white ass. I'd even pouf out my hair like cats do in order to make themselves look bigger and intimidate their opponents, except that I wouldn't be able to read my own notes. Fuck. Guess it's time to break out the stilettos. Every time that asshole looks like he he's getting obnoxious I'll try and sneakily spike him. An inch or two of wooden heel embedded in his calf muscle should shut him the fuck up.

scenes from my household

My initmitable father, coming home one night and pottering about the house, heard a knock on his door. Thinking it was my youngest (and most gullible) sister, he stiffened, then practically flung himself behind the door and scooched down (because if you're going to do something sneaky, you WILL scooch, even if no one can see you) with a look of gleeful anticipation on his face, just dying to scare the bejesus out of her. Mind you, this is a man who has a very respectable profession and was still dressed in shirt, pants and tie, who was practically rubbing his hands with delight at the idea of screaming "BOO!" at his youngest offspring.

Amidst the breathless laughter and shouting, the door opened a little bit, and my sister's boyfriend peeked through, thoroughly unnerved by all the commotion. With a very worried look on his face, and still not realizing that my father was crouched behind the door, he asked, "Why are you all calling me 'Daddy'?"

We were practically crying out laughter by this point.

My father, realizing it wasn't my sister after all, straightened up and sauntered casually from behind the door as though nothing was amiss with an air that said "I was doing something terribly mundane which necessitated, by happenstance, me being behind that door."

The next day he did it again and scared the living crap out of my sister.


the disadvantage of speed-reading

A little random snippet of conversation between Buddy and Slinky, both of whom were insisting that they would win the contest for 'Who Spoils Their Other Halves More'. I paraphrase since I stupidly deleted it and have to recreate from dredging through my pathetic memory.

Buddy: "Well, have you ever tracked down your significant other to give them black roses?"
Slinky: (horrified) "Um.....no...."
Slinky: "What's with the black noses?"
Slinky: "Waitaminit, you gave your significant other a black nose? What the hell did you do that for? Oh my go-"
Slinky: "Oh hang on. Oh, wait."
Slinky: "Right. Black ROSES."
Slinky: "Hello?"

I laughed so hard.

(Just for the record, Buddy would have won, easy. I was arguing on principle, but in case I didn't know that before, the little snippet of TMI certainly made it clear)
