Back to the Pishy Conundrum. The random number generator has clearly picked a stuffie for Chet’s Friend of the Month. Going forward that won’t happen again. Also, please, no AI. As for now, here’s what Carole Luksa, owner – not human companion in this case – of Pishy wrote: “Hey everyone i am Pishy owner. Here’s the back story. I enter Mokey every month but he never has any luck which he can’t understand cause he thinks he’s a dog AND CAT on a hot tin woof really excited him. Right now Mokey is kicking a can down the street muttering about not winning again. So while I was sleeping Mokey look a picture of my PURSE that my daughter Laura brought me from Florida and submitted it cause they rules did not say no purses. So a Cat was Involved and said he’ll high tail it to the Hot Tin Woof and hide out. And mokey enters this contest every month for over a year never wins and Pishy entered once and won. Mokey said he’s sorry. Don’t believe it I heard him snickering. BUT Pishy is very proud.”
So therefore, the court rules, 1-0, that Pishy will remain the FOM. Carole gets a signed copy of the latest Chet and Bernie mystery. Next month this could be you – but the living breathing kind, please. Also this is a lot of fun, at least for me. Tomorrow: Bush v. Gore. And here’s Mokey, btw.

Good compromise, Spence! Mokey is, I’m sure, very sorry he started this conundrum (snicker).
But don’t rule out cats from FOM consideration. One day, I may win!!!
Your Chet-ster,
Big Tiny
BT: Have you ever thought about going disguised as a dog to see if it helps your chances? We have a lovable miscreant suit around here somewhere. You’re welcome to it.
BigTiny: Please remember and never forget, you are a winner every day in every way already, irrespective of the workings of the Random Number Generator.
We’d be lying if we said we weren’t impressed by Mikey’s, er, strategy. We have a new found respect for miscreant Kats! We’re going to see if we can find a pallet of kat-nip that fell of the back of the truck for Mokey. On an unrelated note…WTAFP, we restocked the Slim Jim retainer. Expect a collect call from Mother Jail later.
I’ll be waiting for the call.
Uhhh…Dear Legal Counsel…hypothetically, what would you recommend if the Protege and her Accomplice of two lovable miscreants are learning the lesson about not sampling your own supply first paw. We may have done a lot of things in our distinguished careers, but substances aren’t one of them—no judgement. We have never experienced kat-nip. We even looked at Beau’s Top Ten of Thou Shall Nots and it’s silent on Kat-nip. We’re at a loss. Any advice you can share would be appreciated. We found the rolling around it in like Rio on a platter o’ hot wings.
Oh no, everybody! I was almost Loretta Planskyed! Horror show! The new scam was even on the news (after I was almost a victim)! I turned on my desktop and was met by a blue screen and screaming voice, both saying I had been scammed, to call this Microsoft number. I was on the phone for over an hour with professional scammers who were very believable. The first just asked for the PHONE number on the back of my credit card, said my phone had also been compromised, they would connect me with cc company via their secure line, and were also contacting the FBI. The cc guy, after telling me my scammer was in China and had charged my cc $2,500 for child porn. I was to go to a certain store and but gift cards worth $2,500 to cancel the order. I went to another room, called the number on the back of my cc from my land line. That REAL cc guy said to hang up cell call immediately and turn off computer. I thought I was savvy, just like Loretta. It was so scary! I know they prey on people of a certain age. Beware, on guard, everybody! I knew, when they mentioned gift cards that it was a scam, but so close!
Oh, yeah, the gift card thing is a dead giveaway.
I have become so suspicious that the minute anything like this happens I call my bank’s fraud line or check my cards online. I never click any link included in any e-mail, not even ones that appear to be legit as they can spoof e-mail and text addresses now too.
I won’t say what I think should happen to all such thieves but it is very unChristian. And I am fine with that.
My lovable miscreants. I hate to say it but there is obviously only one thing to do here— nip it in the bud (with apologies, among others, to Barney Fife).
Snort! Giggle! Stifle! The problem is that those two buddies swam in the deep end of the vat o’ katnip. We’d have been proud if we we weren’t mortified. We have no idea where they got this wild streak from as we’ve been mentoring them since they were wee pups. But, we are responsible outlaws so we took the scared straight approach and checked them into Mother Jail overnight. Then…we remember that they are small enough to walk between the bars—It’s part of their charm.
Note to selves: Find a sitter before finding vats o’ katnip for FOMs. Lesson learned.
That is a lovely photo of Mokey and I totally get his upset with Pishy. But at least they both could enter which us Faceless Bookdeprived cannot.
I am still struggling to repair my washing machine. I cannot get the inner tub out and I cannot find my reciprocating saw to cut it out. I do not have the replacement tub yet so the delay isn’t that big a deal except if I need more parts. I do have replacement parts for everything I know about but of course there could always be a surprise once I get the inner tub out. The inner tub was rusted anyway so I always knew I would need a new one, plus the tub seat. It’s still annoying I cannot find the saw. I don’t remember where or when I used it last but I think it was before all the stuff got moved around twice with the new garage door and delivery of the new refrigerator and freezer and subsequent switching of locations. Not everything is back where it was and I haven’t found the saw so until the new inner tub arrives….I’m going to sew.
