Makes Me Laugh So

I know this is a silly picture. This cat, Picabuche (Pico), sits on top of this wok set which is on top of the fridge.

Behold, Wok Kitty!

And do NOT snicker!

Pico is one of the biggest cats I have ever owned and that adds to my smile every time I see him sleeping up here. Every once in a while he misses the jump from the kitchen table to the fridge. There is a VERY LARGE Thump! when that happens.

Being a book-oriented person, this set up makes me think of Terry Pratchett books. I have to wonder if his life has been full of such circumstances and happenstances like Wok Kitty which give him inspiration for his books.

Living on a small farm, I often see things that my once-city-eyes would have found odd – like a little 2 pound game cock mounting an 8 pound hen. (Ridiculous) Donkeys running through the snow, farting the entire time. (Juvenile Humor) The goats getting into a head-butting contest with the geese, and loosing. (Dorks).

How about things in your life that could end up in a book? The strange coworker as a basis for an odd character? Beyond ridiculous office rules as basis for a far flung space bureaucracy?

  1. Funny you should mention space bureaucracy, as navigating the arcane interdepartmental traditions at my workplace make me wonder sometimes if the owners of the company aren’t the Vogons from Hitchhikers Guide.

    the goats lose to the geese?? oh wait, if they are those ginormous Canadian geese, then I can see it.
