squee!!!!

[swingchickie]

so, for those who aren't really into computer games, the "myst" series is very cool. the first game came out in the early 90s, and everyone was abuzz about it... no instructions came with the game, you just popped the CD-ROM in and had to figure it out on your own. basically, you start out in this stunningly beautiful world where there are no people... the purpose of the game is to explore every nook and cranny and solve a bunch of really hard puzzles to figure out where everyone went.

so, in the 3rd installment (3rd? 2nd?), there was a little animal thing called a squee. it was sort of half-rabbit, half-cat. a couple of years ago, a guy on the myst game boards decided to do a little life-size sculpture of the squee, and send it out to anyone who wanted it... their task was to take it around their town for a week or two, take pictures of the squee in various places and post them online, and then place a very small souvenir in the box and ship it to the next person.

this squee has been all over the world, and last week L2 got it for her turn... of course, we took it out for martinis... and it's going to Cheers this weekend... but this is my favorite picture of it... sharing a meal with my little angus. angus didn't even bat an eye.

Jenn, if there was food in that bowl, it could have been Jesus Christ Himself standing next to him and he'd still be chomping away.

funny thing is, there WAS food in that bowl... but angus inhaled it like a hoover. i think he was afraid the squee was going to keep him from gettin' his crunch on.

I guess my point is that I've never seen Angus eat with a studied languor before. Like...

Hmm...I find myself intrigued by the way my Meow Mix tesserates.

It was more like...

Yo, man, yo...can I hit you up for a little kibble? Yo, I'm good for it, I got money on the street comin' back, come on cousin, I'll pay you back double, just a little whisper of the bag my good man...

Four in the morning after he'd been fed twice in the last four hours and he was still patting me down like a prison guard.

your "little" angus? he looks like corn-fed beef, babe, hate to break it to ya. if that squee makes a move to the trough, he/she/it runs the risk of getting squashed, or becoming dessert! :)
