Wait, you're here because of my wedding night? Not unless there was an accident with a time machine and a prophylactic!

He’s as excited as a kid on some kind of holiday where kids get excited…
But what does he mean “So many parts”?

You've never had a Time Child? Like, some temporal anomaly offspring you foisted on an unsuspecting person in the past or future of your own timeline? And you never forced them to run around a filthy ring while you chased them on horseback and they attempted to find safety in brightly colored wooden barrels?
You've never lived...

Yep. Definitely a cat. Not a furry demon or anything. Now give him a treat.

So, I find out Saturday I was exposed to someone with COVID on Friday, the same day I got my booster shot. I plan to get tested just the same, either tomorrow or Wednesday because of the wait time. And folks thought I was a hermit before; wait'll they get a load of me now.

I drink a bottle of Ensure once a day in place of a meal. I've lost 28 pounds so far. But to laugh while drinking that and then spitting it out onto a computer keyboard is messy. Very, very messy. "Debeveraging" is a word that either or I or Quibblemuch created here on the boards some time back to represent that particular action.

Yes, he's just a normal cat in every way.

Ruh roh…
You should probably check your entire house for hidden cloning tanks. That one may be just a decoy while others percolate away in darkness, creating an army of narcissistic, hyper-intelligent simians who'd sell their own creator for a cheap bottle of banana brandy.

I would offer you a warning, but I think you know what you're up against. I suggest using his weakness, banana brandy, to trap him. As hyper-intelligent he is, he, like all primates, is only one whim away from acting on basic instinct. You need to get a box, some string, and a stick. Tie the string to the stick, prop up the box with the stick, and put in a large bottle of the finest banana brandy you can find (should set you back about $2.87). Then you hide and wait. He goes in for the brandy, yank the string, and voila'! Captured Monkey Santa. Should be foolproof.

What’s this? Why it’s a bottle of Deluxe Vanilla Ensure that someone carelessly left under a box propped up by a stick… sure looks yummy! Yum yum!
Whelp. Water heater just died with a buzzing, a pop, and a flash.
Back to not having hot water again (I went through that for a time somewhere between 2014-15).

Ugh! Sorry to hear that Drejk. And of course it's in winter, not in summer.

Been there, done that.
Actually, I am pretty sure, I managed to go through all of the seasons without hot water in the past.
Not terribly fun but doable.

That is Eastern European fortitude in a nutshell, if you don't mind me saying so. Here, we howl and shriek and everything goes to pot at the first hint of snow.

Anyway, well, yeah, but until very recently we had actual winters every winter so coping with it without panicking was a must.
