-Ha ha, cat beats off 5000 cats for walk-on role. TOUGH BUSINESS! In other wacky news punchlines: humans pay money for TV cat's remains. (Also for Winston Churchill's golden, lisp-obscuring dentures.)
those wacky knife criminals. if frisky lived in florida he'd be facing jail time for beating off 5,000 cats.
holy shit! the cat weighed between 100 and 150 pounds?!?!?!
Whoa, crazy. I was just reading about Coronation Street this weekend, and how the "I Want To Be Free" video was a parody of Coronation Street, but nobody in the US got the joke.

After my father's unfortunate demise, I had him cremated, and the first time they used the word "cremains," I almost threw up in the funeral director's lap.
