I will probably cave to culinary curiosity and stop by there when I’m in the vicinity on Saturday. Luckily, it appears that they are not open on Sundays, so that will cut my exposure in half this weekend. Lol.
There was a tangent in the original thread about the barn cats being relocated except for one. Lauren Kanarek got herself in a tizzy in the original thread and went off and spent several posts arguing that the barn cat had a condo in Wellington before she sorted the conversation out….
However, when something really set Lauren Kanarek off she often made such leaps in logic and argued/demanded/reacted to things that were not actually said. It was a consistent pattern.
Come to think of it, that just shows that it was not only the people directly involved who had a huge upheaval in their lives as a result of the events that summer. I’m sure it affected a lot of others in MB’s orbit, like the farriers, vets, feed and hay suppliers, etc., all the way down to the barn cats.
True! I can only imagine the count of the number of lives permanently, negatively effected by the efforts of one woman! She must be quite pleased with the results of her plan. Most people I know want to live their lives doing good for others and society rather than do harm to others for no reason. Who does that?
As soon as you mentioned hamsters and rats, I thought of one of the funnier subjects in Frasier, Daphne’s show rats. The funniest line is at the end, when Niles and Frasier are going to reach down into the floor, but Niles is afraid there are rats.
ETA: They unfortunately didn’t show a little bit more of the scene. At the end of the above, Niles asks Frasier something like “What was that all about, with the rats?” Frasier replies “Don’t ask me. You’re the one who’s marrying her.”
I think Niles just about the funniest character on that show. He was so wrapped up in yet oblivious to, his own pathologies, and two as brothers were beyond funny, and so believable as brothers. You could imagine the whole family dynamic. Just funny stuff.
That is my favorite comedy show ever. I usually don’t care for half hour comedies, but that was incredibly well-written and acted, at least for the first few seasons. Didn’t care for Daphne’s family in the later seasons, though.
You know, I bred guinea pigs, when I was a kid, to sell to the local pet shop. I would go down there to see them, and they never had my piggies out for sale, and I told myself they were so cute they sold right away!
Later in life, I dated a guy who was surprised, and said, I worked there, for that guy, I remember your guinea pigs, you came in and got a quarter for each of them! He fed them to the snakes.
I swear, I about lost my lunch. It never occured to me at the time, or all through my adult hood, until that moment, that my wonderful memory of making so many other little girls happy with my healthy, beautiful piggies was a lie - a horrible, deceptive lie - that I was supplying that evil twisted monster owner of the pet store his live bait. God, it makes me sick to think of it.
