Jabba the Cat

[ehowton]

The 100+ degree temperature of the day was a result of direct sunlight. No cloud-cover, no humidity; no breeze. It burned the skin. Adjusting the brim of my military-issue desert camouflage "floppy" hat, to tug down over my eyes, I pulled the ripcord of the mower and it started right away. I must be getting old, because the 3-hours of yardwork wasn't a chore - it was a joy. Even in this heat. Something therapeutic about all that manual labor...and all the sweat. I had raised the wheels on the mower since the last time I'd cut the yard and this time followed through with full edging both around the house with the weed-eater, and the best sidewalk lines to date with the edger attachment. I swept up all the leavings, spread fertilizer and watered it. My yard looked magnificent.

I had taken the supplement Nitric Oxide just prior to this endeavor. On days I do weights, 20-minutes after my workout I take creatine and protien. On my cardio days, 45-minutes prior, I take Nitric Oxide. The particular mixture I take contains, among other things, yohimbe root, grape seed extract, and a near-unhealthy dose of caffeine. I also wondered if the N.O. would help act as an anti-hangover agent, having gotten drunk the night before on boxed wine, putting on my mu'umu'u, and traipsing around my neighborhood with a neverending wineglass crashing everyone's weekend driveway parties in a failed, "If I drink wine maybe I'll sleep tonight since I haven't slept in a week" experiment. Mostly I just startled the neighborhood children. And the ones I ran into the next day continued to giggle about it. "I see you're not in your dress today." one young woman said.

*Sigh*

Watched Romancing the Stone with my wife (boy did that bring back some memories), went out to eat a couple of times, tried to annoy the everlivingshit out of those who think http://foursquare.com is cool by "checking in" everywhere I went (ultimately ending up in an argument with an apparent paranoid schizophrenic over the dangers of location data) and got our 3rd cat from a righteous babe we met while visiting my wife's cousin's widow who was down visiting friends after a magnificent day with them.

Weighing in at about 25-pounds, meet the enormous Molly Baggins:


Aw, shucks.

What's over here?

BRING ME SOLO AND THE WOOKIE THEY WILL PAY FOR THIS OUTRAGE

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

BUHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[melancthe.livejournal.com]

I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big light blur, I see a big fat blur.

[michelle1963.livejournal.com]

Beautiful kitty! Is she supposed to way that much?

Um, I wonder if the mega doses of caffeine in the NO supplement have anything to do with the lack sleep?

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

And soft, too! I doubt she's suppose to be that big. She's a surprisingly agile jumper for her size though :P

Hard to say about the caffeine - as much exercise as follows on days I take it, I burn through it in about 45 minutes, longer it seems doing things like mowing the lawn. Up until recently, all this weight-loss has made for exceedingly restful nights. Perhaps its just time for another change?

[michelle1963.livejournal.com]

"weigh" not "way". Duh!

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

Ok, Bill & Ted.

[codekitten.livejournal.com]

ha!

[melancthe.livejournal.com]

Your cat is almost as fat as mah kitty Smeagy.

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

GOOD GOD! So that's why all we get are pictures of Smeagy's head...just like fat chix and their creatively cropped face-shots for Facebook profiles. It all makes sense now.

[melancthe.livejournal.com]

My lens isn't enough to encompass his enormous bulk.

Also, he sat on me briefly, and I was numb for a week.

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

lol

[thesweetestnote.livejournal.com]

LOL. Head shots.

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

[thesweetestnote.livejournal.com]

Whoa... blast from the past. I have to re-read and see why I said "head shot" LOL

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

:P

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

Was listening to Howton's Temple of Joys today :D

May Molly Baggins take up the habit of sleeping on your hairy chest at night!!! That is what Q likes to do and Speedbump tries to lay across my feet after Boy #1 goes to sleep.

May Molly Baggins bring warmth and love to your family.

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

Thank you sir!

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

What cat food did you put your tubby bastards on? catttitude wants to know. I think she's going to put Miss Baggins through kitty boot camp!

[celtmanx.livejournal.com]

IAMS dry anti fur ball and diet. Can be found cheaply at Petsmart with joining their rewards program and they often have coupons toward next purchase in the bag.

[swashbuckler332.livejournal.com]

Holy fat, Batman!!!

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

That made my wife laugh out loud.

[thesweetestnote.livejournal.com]

I want her in my BELLY!!!


She's adorable! :)

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

As The Beatles are wont to say, "She's so Heavy."

[thesweetestnote.livejournal.com]

Very HEAVY man!

[celtmanx.livejournal.com]

There you go with that Luciano avatar again!!!

[celtmanx.livejournal.com]

Does this look like anyone we know?

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

I give up.

[celtmanx.livejournal.com]

From that angle, the mysterious and illusive melancthe.

[celtmanx.livejournal.com]

So I guess you don't thin so FROM THAT ANGLE.

[celtmanx.livejournal.com]

The Plan!!!

[thesweetestnote.livejournal.com]

[celtmanx.livejournal.com]

That's funny!!! And it's even funnier with the subtitles in Czech.

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

This. This is brilliant.

[celtmanx.livejournal.com]

I didn't formulate "The Plan" but I can spot a good one when I see it.

[celtmanx.livejournal.com]

She's not fat she's big boned!!!

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

BEEFCAKE!

[irulan-amy.livejournal.com]

Oddly enough (or not since fat and cat are sometimes redundant), my calico is a bit overweight too. She's around 20lbs.

But yay new kitty. We ended up with a new kitten (one of the litter we found in Tim's shop two months ago), she is currently chewing on my hair.

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

I wondered if that was going tp be the case :P
