On The Red Carpet

Clooney: (Tap, tap and then in a Bridget Jones voice...)

The, uh.., mike's not...work--working.

Neytiri: Let's turn it on, shall we?

Clooney: I'd like to thank the Academy for my Oscar The Furries of Whisppy for presenting me with The Versatile Blogger Award.  I do believes that I am "versatile" as I have my paws in many pies, so to speak...But enough about me...The Furries of Whisppy have a wonderful blog with a very special Mommy who helps stray and feral kitties.  The Furries are all very photogenic and the action shots taken of them are amazing!  You must go on over to visit them!

As Neytiri was being photographed by the Paw-Purr-Azzi on the Red Carpet, she was Tagged!  Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Austin Powers  Austin the Welsh Tuxedo Mancat  fleeing the scene.  Now Austin has awards coming out of his ears...let's just call him "The Artist", shall we?  But deservedly so folks because he and his Human Caro are uber-clever.  You must go on over to CATachresis to be entertained and impressed!  Now we will answer the questions that we have been tagged with:

1) Describe yourself in 7 words:

Clooney: easy on the eyes, intelligent, a character 

Neytiri: fluffy, tomboy, persistent, sweet, humble, enchanting, independent

2) What keeps you up at night?
Clooney: boredom
Neytiri: Clooney

3) Who would you like to be?
Clooney: A Zoo Official
Neytiri: An Entomologist

4) What are you wearing now?
Clooney: If you purchase a Clooneymobile, I'll tell ya...
Neytiri: Rabbit fur

5) What scares you?
Clooney: Going to the V-E-T and the vacuum cleaner
Neytiri: Only that heart balloon from Valentine's

6) The best and worst of blogging?
Both: A chance to have fun and be silly and making great blogging friends is the best.  The worst is being behind in visiting blogs.

7) Last website you've visited:
Both: CATachresis to get the tag questions!
8) One thing you'd change about yourself:
Clooney: I'd like bigger biceps...
Neytiri: I'd like to live somewhere tropical where there are more insects.
9) Slankets or no?
Clooney: Only if they make them in Argyle...
Neytiri: Definitely not!  Although I'd like to see "Ducky" in a slanket! (Do they make them for ducks?)
10) Tell us something about the cat that tagged you:
Austin only speaks Welsh but writes haikus in English...is the guy talented or what?

INTERMISSION BREAK...

Oh and we're back...Ok Audience, it's a double whammy, we tag The Purr Diaries and give them The Versatile Blogger Award too!  If you haven't been over there, you must visit their blog!  Sarah is a very talented artist and has two very irresistible Mancats: Bosco and Oliver. 

And now returning to our regular OTRC programming...  Here are our Awards/Picks from the 84th Annual Academy Awards:

1) Neytiri's Warm Fuzzies Award goes to Meryl Streep and her classy acceptance speech (we likes our Meryl here at Headquarters).

2) Cloon's "You're Busting My Chops" Award goes to Angie's Right Leg...

3) "Ducky's" Best Oscar Moment goes to the "Martin Scorsese Drinking Game"...(well what do you expect Audience, I mean the little guy tweets for beer...)

And that's all folks!  Thanks for joining us OTRC!

TUNNEL TUESDAY

 Well hello there felines.  So I goes to my tunnel in the wee hours of the morn...and what do I find?  My tunnel is still on strike...even after having its own Mardi Gras party last week!  Can you believe it felines?  So I brought my tunnel a "lucky bamboo" and I'z hoping that a little bit of "luck" will rub off on my tunnel and get it back running again...

Here is Secretary Neytiri inspecting the bamboo plant and making sure it is up to snuff with its luckiness!  Does anyone out there have any good luck charms that have worked for them in the past? 

Join me next TUESDAY felines to see if my magic tunnel is off strike and up and running again.

TUNNEL TUESDAY

TUNNEL TUESDAY: "THROW ME SOMETHING MISTER!!!"

Well hello there felines!  So I goes to my "tunnel" in the very late hours of the morn...and what do I find?  My tunnel is still on strike!  Can you believe it felines?  Theese tunnel of mine has been very resistant to my therapy program that's for sure!  So I pulled out all the stops today...and am throwing my tunnel its very own Mardi Gras Party!  Isn't that fantastic felines!  Now surely that will go a long ways toward cheering my tunnel up...First up is a Mystery Guest to officially get theese party started...Any guesses on the mystery feline in the above photo?

It's none other than our very own...Lady Neytiri! She is the official Queen of the Mardi Gras and is in charge of the ever-so-important Beads! 

And here I am...practicing my technique to ensure I am thrown many strands of beads!  In order to ensure your success felines, you must shout out "Throw me something Mister!"



Then if all goes according to plan...voila!  Les beads! (PS: "Flashing" may also increase your success...uh...or so I'z told...) 

Now everyone must head on over to Official Mardi Gras Headquarters... and "Laissez les bons temps rouler!"
