I imagine Lupin plays foosball by traditional cat rules: jumping on the table and attacking the ball while the humans wonder what they expected, really…
If a bird lands on a power line and it snaps, you are living in the wrong place or you are stealing electricity, one or the other. Now if a 737 lands on the power line and it snaps then you’re just out of luck.
Tabith-Isis: We are here at the oPyramid for the opening of Table Ball season. The inaugural game will be between Iggy and Lupinium. Puckmosis, what can you tell us about the two contestants?
Puck: It is a classic match between Order and Chaos. Lupinium is a past master of the game, but he can be distracted. If Iggy can stay focused, he has a chance of winning.
Sometime Later
Tabith-Isis: At the half of this exciting match we have Lupinium with a narrow lead over Iggy. Puck, your opinion?
Puck: I think experience is the key here, Tabs. If Lupinium can keep focus, he has the definite advantage.
Tabs: Oh, Iggy has intercepted and is running the ball into the end zone. Iggy wins on a last minute play!
After the Game
Tabs Congratulations on your first win, Iggy. What was your strategy?
Iggy: Mainly to stay focused and keep my eye on the ball.
Tabs: Lupinium, congratulations on a well fought game. Any plans for future games?
Lupinium: I intend to stick with my strategy to go with the flow and let chaos reign.
Tabs: There you have it. Two different but effective strategies. Back to you, Puck.
I remember the last great power blackout that lasted three days (it was in the summer of 2003, I believe), when Paul tried to barbecue liver for dinner as a surprise for me. I was definitely surprised, and so was half the neighbourhood.
Late message from Georgia: “Mommy’s Special Boy went back to the vet tonight with tummy troubles again! Poor dude. Luckily this time we’re all pretty sure what can help him, since last time he recovered so strongly. The whole crew is back on probiotics and pumpkin (mixed into their food, with some water to help hydrate him). My vet also gave Elvis an antibiotics shot and some fluids. He is resting at home—annoyed and lumpy thanks to the fluids, but fairly content otherwise.”

If, no when, a bird lands on a power line. The Colonel’s secret recipe is discovered! Foosball table optional.

True. Sadly the air hockey table stops working when the power is out.

Foosball is good, but air hockey is probably out. Then again, the table would probably still make a great nap spot.

According to my Luvable Ex, “there is always room for a foosball table.” And, yes, there was. ;-)
