The worst feeling in the world.

Fisticuffs, after a bout of crying blood, was treated to a trip to the vet’s office. During the car trip he acted like any normal cat, panting, crying, and generally being a pussy (!) about the whole ordeal. His plaintive wails got the better of me, and I reached into the carrier to pat his blessed little head. Suddenly it struck. The most unsettling, sinking feeling in the world–and it was surprisingly warm.

Severely irritated, Fisticuffs had turned around while my fingers were crammed through the front grate of the carrier, braced himself, and took a huge, festering shit on my hand. The smell tore through the car before I had realized exactly what had happened. Keep in mind that I drive a standard, and my right hand was now trapped (less I spread peanut buttery goo about the car) in the carrier. In a display of my awesome genius, I managed to single-handedly (!) summon a napkin (accio napkin!) across the car, while maneuvering onto an off ramp, and popping the car out of gear with my elbow. By the time we arrived at the vet’s office, Fisticuffs had rolled around in his feces, caking himself in it, and pressing it out of the side of the carrier, like play-dough through a pasta machine.

I fear I will never recover.

it seemed like a good idea at the time...

The aftermath.

Marital Rape, Part Deux

So I’ve been inspecting my traffic count, and couldn’t figure out where all the hits were coming from. Under search terms, the items to which this crappy blog is linked include, “anteaters,” “marital rape,” and “buketz.” I ran a google search for marital rape, but the entry was nowhere to be found….until clicking on images.

What should appear, but Pua! A mildly creepy image for marital rape, i guess–but almost fitting.  I imagine being violated by an anteater would be slightly unsettling.
