Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 20, 2024

I’m stocking up on stockings for my Christmas pumpkins. Maybe even buy some pumps for my pumpkins…

If you do not carve your pumpkin(s) for Halloween, they should easily last until Thanksgiving. At least they do for me.

Dye them pink and blue, cut them open and fill them with chocolate, and hide them for Easter eggs.

Paint them gold for St Paddy’s day and tell your friends you finally got that stingy Leprechaun’s treasure!

Nunca los he visto tan felices.

Is Tabitha holding a picture of cranberry space goo?

Thanksgiving = cranberry space goo

We found out from the archival footage of Baba’s days as a reporter that Jules has been around for a very long time. Perhaps he is also immortal! Now I’m picturing Jules wearing Red Baron goggles and leather helmet inside a flying pumpkin with bat wings, his scarf flying in the wind. Do July bugs fly south for the winter? Would that make them January bugs in Australia?

Es posible.

By the way, pumpkin spice candy canes do exist. There are also bacon candy canes, too. hyurrgh

Nada dice “Te amo” como el regalo de una calabaza en miniatura en el Día de San Valentín.

Another minor oops: “Si” without an accent means “if”; for “yes”, it has to be “Sí”.

Stockings are “medias,” but thanks for the Spanish strips. They are a lot of fun and I hope you don’t think I’m nitpicking! (just trying to help).

…and then in the attic for the rest of the year, forget they’re there and buy new next year!

I am especially fond of the cranberry space goo when it is decoratively molded by the can.

YES. Steenky narrow fonts is good only for large sized text.

OT but still about cats

Mix them, into a fruitcake, and they WILL last forever!

Interesting that Burt translated the Day of the Dead as “Halloween”. Halloween (All Hallows Eve) is October 31, while the Day of the Dead is November 1 (and 2).

My copy of Good as Goldie arrived this week!

Can’t wait to get a tiny pumpkin in my stocking this year! :)

I don’t speak Spanish, but I like looking at the language and translation to spot the connections between Spanish words and English. For example “afirmando” and “claiming”, you can spot “affirm” in the former and see that it’s similar to “claim” because you have to affirm it’s true.
