Is that the song you sing as you stick your fingers in your ears?
Cat Off!
Remember the Meow Mix song? Meow Meow Meow Meow, Meow Meow Meow Meow, Meow Meow Meow Meow, Meow Meow Meow Meow. Now try to get it out of your head.
I know you can read my thoughts, boy.
Somehow the bf always turns that song into a "Jesus Loves Me" mash up.
@ContainsHotLiquid From the Quimby trial episode! Couldn't find it in English, but the Italian (Miao) and Castilian-accented Spanish (Miau) dubs are quite something.
Oh, The Simpsons In Spanish!
ee-ee.

you, sir, are an archaeologist and a scholar.
Well, it can also mean, "Oh! Is that package for me?" Among other things.
There's also Meow Meow the adult video game which wikipedia summmarizes as follows:
"In the game, the player takes the role of Ibuki, a college student living on his own in an apartment complex. A lover of cats who often feeds strays in the park and takes injured cats to the vet, Ibuki is visited in the night by the Cat God, who offers him one wish in return for his kindness to animals. Ibuki wastes no time in his reply: "I want a catgirl!". The cat god immediately announces his wish is granted and then vanishes, leaving Ibuki to wonder if it was all a dream.
Several days later, Ibuki is on his way home from work when he discovers a cardboard box left near his apartment. Hearing the sound of a what he believes to be a cat, Ibuki opens the box to discover not a cat but in fact a catgirl, naked and sleeping. Ibuki takes the catgirl to his flat, where she reveals her name to be Mikan, and explains that she was sent by the catlord to serve him. Over the next few days, Ibuki discovers that the situation changes, as a number of unwelcome visitors accidentally moved from the cat kingdom to our world alongside Mikan.
There is Mikan, the cat girl promised by the Cat God, who serves Ibuki as a hard labor maid. Next comes Hanabi, the 'wily and mischievous' bunny girl, and her young catboy servant Futaba. Following them are the seemingly reserved police officer and dog girl Shinju, the 'clumsy and child-like' android soldier Koboshi, and the cat shrine maiden Kohaku. Meanwhile, the one seemingly stable presence in Ibuki's life is Nanami Aoba, his childhood friend and daughter of his landlord. Shinju is pursuing Hanabi for stealing back in the animal world, and constantly fighting. Koboshi serves as a sort of comedy piece with her clumsy ways. Nanami seems always ready to discipline him whenever his behavior toward the girls steps under her expectations."
OH MY GOD I NEED THIS GAME.
I'm off to fill out a craigslist ad for a "hard labor maid".
Whatevs, Lady Elaine.
When the internet and I were young, I thought a blog was simply a list of sites you had visited and things you had seen on the internet, free of editorial content. Posting an IM exchange is sort of like that. Or like someone who takes a picture of everything they eat.
WELCOME! You're gonna fit in here perfectly. PS Love your icon.

-Mkgnao!
-O, there you are, Mr Bloom said, turning from the fire.
The cat mewed in answer and stalked again stiffly round a leg of the table, mewing. Just how she stalks over my writingtable. Prr. Scratch my head. Prr.
Mr Bloom watched curiously, kindly the lithe black form.
(Apparently the cat is telling Bloom she's hungry)
I think you are right on point about the sing;e "Meow", but in my experience "Meow meow meow" is someone being cute to hook you into doing something.
I'm getting a 'one of the editors got laid' vibe today.
Is this the new meep?

Cat people are weird.
All that putting out fire with gasoline stuff is just a tad off-kilter. Who does that?
It's the sound Irena Reed makes just before she claws you to ribbons.
Or Nastassja Kinski, if you're weird or were born after 1975.
Meow meow is also the newish street drug, mephedrone:
