The demise of Vine is drawing closer. I couldn’t stand the thought of all those cat videos out there being lost to the abyss, so I gathered a few (i.e. nearly 50) of my favourites.
I hope you enjoy this compilation of cats and kittens being funny, silly, or just plain adorable.
Dad kept hiding pine nuts in the pages of this magazine and letting Edgar root around for them.
(Edgar cannot be released to the wild due to an injury. He now works as an ambassador bird and general household nuisance.)
Edgar has added to his vocalizations since I last saw him! He used to only say “oh wow” in a really sarcastic voice and to mimic the trill of a screech owl. Now he also screams “WHAT?!” and mumbles “what a WHOPPER!”
It was hysterically funny discussing politics with him in the room. We’d mention some new scandal and he’d randomly interject with cries of astonishment.
Please let Edgar know that I love him
Edgar has graced my dash twice today and I learned something new each time. I too love him.
I love everything about this, most of all the fact that you named him Edgar because it makes me think of Poe’s “The Raven” immediately
His full name is Edgar Allen Crow.
I don’t know if I added this video to this post but here are some of Edgar’s vocalizations:
Edgar isn’t a pet, he’s an educational “ambassador bird” who lives as a rehab center with licensed professionals due to a permanent foot injury that prevents him from being released to the wild.
Even though I was born blind, I’ve never had a problem seeing. I see with earthbending. It’s kinda like seeing with my feet. I feel the vibrations in the earth and I can see where everything is.
who is that in the background picture? it is in season 1 episode 17
From what I remember of the gossip from last season, it was believed to be Jim’s father.
However, it didn’t quite fit. Whenever Jim mentions his father, it’s with a bitter tone. I can’t imagine that Jim would be that bitter if his father died in war. HOWEVER, his father could have left AFTER he came home from war, which also could have caused the same bitterness.
If it helps, in the book, Jim’s dad was Barbara, but instead of being a good parent like Barbara, he was obsessed with Trolls due to his brother being taken by one. In other words, he wasn’t a good father in the book either.
If we go completely off the patches and uniform he was an enlisted sergeant 1st class (chevrons on arm) in the army in the 9th infantry division (blue and red shoulder patch) probs in Vietnam since those glasses scream 50s and 60s and the 9th was only in the reserves during Korea and disbanded in 1991 and was really important during Vietnam. He was most likely a ranger (yellow arch patch on shoulder), was awarded a us army combat infantryman badge (white and blue on right chest) and has an infantry blue cord on his shoulder and has 6? bar ribbons that I can’t identify bc it’s too blurry so yeah this is probs his grandpa.
how the fuck did all of those renaissance dilettantes learn so much crap? Like they spoke 3 languages and were foremost in several branches of science, plus they wrote poetry, played the violin, and were master artists? And they still had time to be gay?
During high school Spirit Week, they’d allow us to dress out of uniform according to the theme of the day. One of those themes was “Twin Day”. The night before, I went around to all of my friends and told them my plan.
The next morning, some twenty people – including myself – came in dressed as mines. White greasepaint, striped shirts, black lipstick and eyeliner. Kids I didn’t even know where dressed as mimes. Staff was confused and annoyed, and several teachers correctly guessed that I was responsible for the chaos. “It’s TWIN Day, Ship. Not MIME Day!”
“But we’re all twins!” I said. “Twins who also just happen to be mimes!”
