6. Is a gun a trendy, new cooking utensil?

Fabulous! where can I get one in Chrome?

[GOPisEvil]

7. Lead slugs are all the rage in pasta these days.

Mmmmmmmm...lead...

[Kurovski]

9. I hear Lead is brain food.

I think the Bush EPA has made this clear in a recent document.

So then, it's a Salad Shooter of sorts?

11. Salad shooter, lol!

I will let the cooking and baking forum know about this fabulous new kitchen utensil. :silly:

[Kurovski]

15. Oh, do!

It's also a fast and fun way to put steam-vents in pies, or creating your own economical and unique colanders from lost hubcaps that can be gathered from the nearest highway.

28. I hear it's also important to leave them nearby open flames.

The cat probably saved his life by knocking the gun down before it exploded. :shrug:

3. I knew I hated them critters!

4. Was the cat declawed?

That could've been a possible motive.

18. What's that about "curiosity killed the cat" again?

Never mind curiosity killing the cat; this time, curiosity almost killed the owner!

[Zuni]

19. Nothing unusual about this

I carry fully loaded firearms around my house all the time. Never know when you might need to cap a varmint

[Deep13]

I'm John Walsh. Join me as we track feline felons on a tri-state killing spree.

Our first case involves a meowing murderer named Fluffy, alias, the Calico Killer. Back in 1995, Fluffy was a troubled cat: clawing the furniture, spraying the stereo speakers and getting into the trash. Fluffy was truly a kittie out of control with his all night catnip binges. Unsatisfied with these minor offenses, the former yarn-chaser eventually snapped and took out his owner with a 0.357 when she failed to bring home any Fancy Feast. Since then, Fluffy has been linked through paw print analysis to fourteen murders in three states.

If you know the whereabouts of Fluffy, the Calico Killer, please call the FBI at...

[Kurovski]

29. Perfect.

You do fast, accurate work.

I actually feel anger toward Fluffy.

:thumbsup:

23. Well, the bastard shoulda changed the litter box--maybe he will next time

:evilgrin:

[Misunderestimator]

24. Can you imagine how far up in the air that cat went when the gun went off?

[Redstone]

26. And, if there's any justice,

landed on the guy when it came down, all claws extended, digging in for dear life!

39. Actually, the dude is delighted.

Getting shot is at least some attention. Usually, the cat just ignores him.

[flvegan]

27. Angry cat hadn't been out to kill all the songbirds. Took it out on owner

[Patiod]

30. I'm glad someone else remembers that thread

I make jokes about it all the time, and no one else seems to find them humorous.

[flvegan]

34. One of the unforgettable threads. Topic comes up in the GD flames, too.

[Ellen Forradalom]

31. Was he having sex with his sheep at the time?

Thereby provoking jealousy in his cat?

36. "Lower torso" means the cat shot him in the ass,

37. Now Do You People Understand Why Ashcroft Is Afraid of Cats!!!

They're trigger happy.

[Deep13]

38. But kitties are so cute...

... with their fuzzy feet and their velvety ears and the purring sounds and their Uzis.

41. Faster, pussycat, kill, kill!

[foxy]

42. I dated a guy like that once

He carried that 9mm everywhere he went just poked it in his pants in the back. And when he got home he would place it somewhere he could see it or put it up way out of reach of little hands.
