Cal.E.'s Korner

C.: Hey, d.c., didn’t you see the sign on the sandbox door?

The Animal Olympics takes this type of thing seriously.

d.: To what are you referring, Cal.E.?

C.: Well, the last time I saw you, you looked like this.

And now, you look like this.

d.: Well, I’m not completing in the Animal Olympics, but I assure you that this

is all natural.

C.: So, you went from looking like this

To looking like this in two weeks without taking any illegal substances?

d.: I did.

C,: How?

d.: I spent two weeks at the gym, taking time out for meals and naps, of course.

C.: The gym let you stay there for two solid weeks?

d.: Yes. When I punched in, I saw that I only had one punch left for the month. They gym is open 24/7; 365 days a year, even on major holidays. They didn’t know I stayed that long because they changed shifts.

C.: Well, did you at least take a shower every now and then?

d.: Yes, before and after I swam.

C.: I see. Well, it’s almost time for one of the major events at the Animal Olympics

d.: Which one?

C.: Well, when it was called the Cat Olympics, it was called Bareback Dog Riding, but dogs are able to participate in the Animal Olympics, so riding them wouldn’t be right.

d.: So, what are they riding this year?

C.: Well, no one wanted to ride one of these,

So we settled for one of these

d.: I rode one of those…once.

C.: When?

d.: When I was a young man in much better shape. It was at the legendary bar in Greater Houston. I had to take a few shots of courage first, because I bought a green-broke horse as a teenager, thinking I could get him to settle down. Instead, when my dog chased him, he set me down on the ground. I had no desire to relive that time in my life, but I was talked into it by an influential person in my life.

C.:  Well, it’s almost time for the even to start, so I suppose that’s the end of today’s cat ta(i)le.
