Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 15, 2020

Wrestlers to the rescue?

Gee, I wish that I knew who Dusty and Scott are…..

You take your wisdom where you can get it. I use the QI book of advanced banter.

Are you listening to that Lupin and boy? Sounds as if sometimes it’s good to be bad.

A quote from Kevin Nash, next, perhaps?

“Georgia! Georgia! ….. [PAWS] …… [PAWS] …… Hey, YO.”

“I’m here to do a little survey. Who all here came to read… Wizard of Id?”

[crickets]

“And who came here to read…. bCn??”

[crowd goes wild!]

“ONE MORE… for the good guys!”

[FLICKS A TOOTHPICK AT YOU]

Good thing the BCN team is there to catch this dialogue! And broadcast to the Orb!

Confession… yes, I have been hoping for my own personal Christmas Miracle. But I am not holding my breath.

BUT! I have heard of people who are working on other people’s Christmas Miracles! My niece’s spouse… has a few more tests to go before he is able to donate a kidney! I am not that brave! I am very proud of him and his courage to save another’s life!

Good times and news can be found. We just have to get there and cling to them. Right?

The Man is right. It won’t always be like this. It will get worse.

I am downright disappointed that The Man couldn’t work in a Becky Lynch quote.

Are those the Man’s initials above the ♥ ?

Lupin definitely appears to have been de-glitterized.

And that’s the bottom line if you can’t see what me is cooking, brother.

I remember Dusty Rhodes and his “Bionic elbow”. Guy was a staple of Championship Wrestling from Florida on WTOG every Saturday back in the ‘70s with the host Gordon Solie. My Dad took me to the Fort Westerly Armory a few times where they taped the show. Good memories from when I was a kid. I’m surprised that Georgia knows who Dusty Rhodes was all the way up in New England!

As a certain video game character says: “Bad times are just times that are bad.”

Huey Lewis and the News: Hip to Be Square

I used to like to behave, I never fooled around

But I decideded one day that I wouldn’t settle down

Now I’m enjoying running amuck, and go and shed my hair

You might think I’m crazy, but do it with such a flair

Because I can tell what’s going on

…….

It’s good to be bad!

It’s good to be bad!

It’s good to be bad!

It’s good to be bad!

…….

I an a cat in a business suit, I broadcast on TV

I run around most every day and enjoying what I eat

They tell me that it’s good for me, but I don’t even care

I know that it’s crazy

I can’t go anywhere,

And there is no denying that

…….

It’s good to be bad!

It’s good to be bad!

It’s good to be bad!

It’s good to be bad!

Bad guys do what – last? I’m not sure that’s comforting.

OT: Yen

The names ring a vague bell in the back of my mind.

Life can’t be but so bad when you have a Pucky paw of support on your shoulder.

Life can’t be but so bad when you have a Pucky paw of support on your shoulder.

oh, Razor Ramon, it’s so good to be bad.

Hmm recognized the name, but whats the wrestling connection here?

“Bad guys do” is comforting? I was hoping we could shed a few bad guys.

When life is good again

We’ll be together then

Hugs & laughs with friends

When life is good again

More hopeful than we’ve been

It’ll be so different then

More joyful moments when

Life is good again

We’ve cried so many tears

We’ve had so many fears

There are no guarantees

But you know life goes on

This too shall pass away

Bring new and different days

We need to change our ways

Make more time for play

Let’s open up our hearts

And let the whole world in

Love helps ease some pain

When life is good again

And it’s gonna be good again

(Dolly Parton❤️ / Kent Wells – based on When Life Is Good Again)

Who are these people?

Most of my inspirational support comes from sci-fi, so I’m not judging anyone who finds their comfort in wrestling (which is, after all, theater).

She’s a fan of The American Dream!

I remember Paladin quoting the Tsar to the effect that the good die young that they may not fall into sin, while the bad live on that they may come to repent.

It will get worse first … but eventually it will get better. Then we’ll be complaining about how the relatives stay over an extra week for holidays, the stores are too crowded, and “my aren’t there are lot of ugly people walking around”. Merry Christmas. It is what it is. :)

“Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.” – Jonas Salk

OT: Dita Von Teese is creating custom video greetings as a fundraiser for FIP treatments for those who are struggling with the cost.

Had to look up Scott Hall. I gave up wrestling around 1963 so I’m not current.

Today is:

Bill of Rights Day: “Those who give up their rights to gain a certain amount of security deserve neither rights nor security.” — Benjamin Franklin. Too many people in the USA believe they have rights they do not, and do not know what rights they do have.

Cat Herder’s Day: I think this sums it up better than anything else: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_MaJDK3VNE Head ’em up! Move ’em out! Cat hair!

International Tea Day: Tea has been described as the most civilized, and civilizing beverage ever known. It has been called by a tea master, “The one taste of truth,” but this was BC: before coffee. Still, it seems difficult to be barbaric while drinking tea. Tea was discovered by two of the oldest civilizations on earth. The British Empire went to war with them, won, adopted tea and finally became civilized. The early Americans loved tea so much they attempted to make the entire sea a teapot, which attempt failed miserably and forced them to become coffee drinkers. This may explain the nation’s meteoric rise. Perhaps someday they will drink more tea and become civilized, as well.

National Cupcake Day: Either definition goes well with tea …

National Wear Your Pearls Day: It’s been a year of “straight up poop,” but as Nietzsche said, “What does not kill us makes us stronger.” That’s the idea behind this holiday. Humans are like pearls: We start as an irritation, but experience builds layers upon layers of strength—if we let it. We need not whine, we need not complain. All we have to do is shine.

Good for The Man to quote Hall. But to quotes Dusty, this pandemic has certainly put us in “Hard times”

For those who asked for an update, I’m doing well today! Had a talk with the doctor and we decided it was a combination of hypoglycemia (I didn’t eat dinner Friday evening), dehydration (meds) and taking my prescriptions (especially sleeping meds) on an empty stomach. Not sure why it took so long to work through my body, but we discussed not skipping meals and making sure I drink enough water. Also decided that if it happens again, I’ll need to go in for tests. Thank you for caring!

OT: My situation.

Don’t count on it.

Some things in life are bad They can really make you mad Other things just make you swear and curse When you’re chewing on life’s gristle Don’t grumble, give a whistle And this’ll help things turn out for the best And Always look on the bright side of life

Let us hope for the best next year.

When I was a kid, we had Wrestling at the Chase:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrestling_at_the_Chase

I’d have gone with Dusty’s “Hard Times” promo, myself.

By the way, that was a real Scott Hall quote from his 2014 WWE Hall of Fame acceptance speech.

The Man and The Woman get props from me for knowing classic wrestlers like Dusty Rhodes and Scott Hall. I also like how The Woman instantly figured The Man was quoting a wrestler, even if she wasn’t 100% sure which one.

Geez, Robin, aren’t you just the ray of sunshine.
