Defeat the Christmas Cactus…..it’s a prickly foe!

Oh dear Sir Figaro, I miss you and hope you are happy at the Rainbow Bridge!

¿Lucha? ¡Iré a luchar!

Tabitha and Sir Fig’s human’s primary language is English?

YES! La Dama Dragon and El Punto Rojo tag team Senior Sonrisa Espinosa! Does anyone remember the names for the rest of the wrasslers?

Oy, lucha competition starts in, 3…. 2…… 1……… GO!

(Battle began)

The pot holding the Christmas cactus has a face!

So good to see Sir Fig and Tabitha even if they are well disguised.

You go, Sir Figaro!!

Found this on Georgia’s Instagram. She’s doing a Sunday strip https://www.instagram.com/p/CNUNRWBHkpy/?igshid=1xn7ud46bkos8

I adore La Dama Dragon’s costume! Those little wings!! :D

Will the cactus fight back and defeat El Punto Rojo, or is it doomed?

The team can’t wrestle each other so the vases must be defeated!

Ooooh! Sir Fig is flexing his muscles in panel one!

Aww, it’s Sir Fig. I love you, Sir Fígaro Newton. Te amo.

Flor de Maio is Portuguese for May’s flower. I know because I googled it. But I couldn’t find the explanation why May’s flower is a Christmas cactus. Can anyone help?

Our two must have felt a wrestling vibe too…they got into it last night to the point where it passed friendly tussle but luckily just the threat of the no no bottle broke it up and earned me two wide-eyed “who me?” faces.

¡Ay caramba!

La Dama Dragon toe beans!

Paf that plant El Punto Rojo!

Oooh, I love the Upstairs Woman’s purple laptop.

Love the La Libre costumes. I think the Latin Wrestlers had more flair than their American Counterparts, but I didn’t watch that sport either. In fact, I guess I never watched any sport except Olympic Swimming, gymnastics and Track and Field.

Say, I has always wondered what’s the inverted exclamation mark " ¡ " for that usually appears in Spanish text? Why is that used? What does it do?

Never turn your back on the plant that bites.

Brenda Lee et al: Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree

Knockin’ down the Christmas tree (cactus)

In a smiley party pot

Tabs and Figs dressed up, as you can see

Their Woman unable to stop!

…….

Knockin’ down the Christmas tree

Tabs and Figs both do their thing

Later they’ll watch the wrestling match

And then do some Rasseling!

…….

We all get a sentimental feeling when you hear

Cactus falling, pots all crashing,

Maybe a glass of water splashing!

…….

Knockin’ down the Christmas tree

Have a rasseling day!

Everyone’s tusseling merrily

In the new old fashioned way!

Espero que no sea brutal. (Hope it’s not brutal)

Why must they watch on laptops? Is wrestling no longer on regular TV? I watch everything on a laptop since I don’t own a TV.

¡Bien hecho!

Tengo la vista clarividente, ¿no? Ya, por fin, el regreso de los gatos hispanoparlantes.*

*Am I psychic or what? At last, the return of the Spanish-speaking cats!

Along the lines of what Pucky said on Monday, about “TV on TV with TV”; shouldn’t the first statement have been:

“Celebrating WRESTLING with WRESTLING BY WRESTLING?”

Maybe? :-)

Wait just one minute!!! Is the wrestling to distract us from noticing a woman haircut?

Upstairs Woman has a flower tattoo.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Serfig-Aro: So, can you give me some tips on how to improve my rasseling?

Lupinium: Sure. First we’ll start with zoomie technique. You need to be able to run around the room without running into anything dangerous.

Serfig-Aro: So I should start by doing a few practice runs?

Lupinium: Exactly. When you’ve got that down, increase your speed until you achieve escape velocity. You may need to exit the room quickly.

Serfig-Aro: And what about the items I do want to run into?

Lupinium: That’s our next lesson.

(requested by the cactus, lol)

You got me flyin’, goin’ out of my pot

You got me thinkin’ ’bout how much time I still got

Don’t bring me down

No, no, no, no, no

Ooh-ooh-hoo

I’ll tell you once more before I land on the floor

Don’t ¡paf! me down

You wanna dress up fancy with your cat friends

I’m tellin’ you, I feel like it’s the end

Don’t knock me down

No, no, no, no, no

Ooh-ooh-hoo

I’ll tell you once more before I land on the floor

Don’t bring me down

Don’t bring me down, groos (3x)

Don’t bring me down

(Jeff Lynne – Don’t Bring Me Down/ELO)

Wait…Sir Figaro is El Punto Rojo…So when Tabitha says she has “caught the red dot twice”, is she actually referring to her alter ego as La Dama Dragon…?Naaaaah!

O/T: a train that plays music using wine glasses:

Latin name for Xmas cactus (genus) is Schlumbergera…

I love T‘s outfit but it looks a little difficult to fight in.

Wrestling is getting out of hand.

OT Henry

Warmest thanks to everybody for their advice, empathy and encouragement.The plan is to look well after and take good care of the little man until the day he tells me that it is time for him to go.Short-term we are planning for his and Minou’s birthday celebration in May.Says the vet by way of consolation, ‘His liver is fine, so he can still have the occasional pint with you.’

So, Sir Fig has a black-and white face, black tail, but his torso is chubby white ? I would have thought he would have a black stripe or more.

OT Sumo

I do like an underdog.So here there are two links.One of a happy young man as the receives his fighter’s loincloth, belt, mawashi.https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/sumo/sumopedia/

And the same young man, five years later having overcome severe injury.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efP0VrfW8uU

I also like that he is quite considerate vis-à-vis his opponents. His name is Ura.

Los gatos vatos!

¡¡Masticaré tus entrañas, flor de maio !!

The Christmas cactus is a goner.

Is that a tattoo on the Upstairs Woman’s arm? :)

Sir Figaro! Who can resist the charms of a confident, strong, cat of few words. :)
