• I am actually disappointed that this isn't a real show. Because I want to be the contestant that hacks up furballs, dammit!
• ...or is it hork up furballs? Help me out here; name that verb.
• I've always heard "hock." Could be a regional thing.
• Isn't that when you pawn something?
• I've heard it all three ways. I've also heard it "guuhhaarrr guuafflaarrgggh bblaaaaaaagggggghhh" straight from the cat's mouth. Heh.
• Hey that would be a cool show to watch, probably better than most of the stuff on the box. I'd just sit back and wait for one of the contestants to run amuk in the house jumping over all of the furniture while screeching at invisible enemies. There's the cat! That's the one!
• And because I believe this warranted further study: Hork Hack Hock
• *suddenly feels queezy*
• I thought you hawked goods. I'm not sure how one would spell [hak] up a hairball.
• Thanks for expounding, Kimberly. I am now having a Latin attack. Hic! Hoc! Hunc! Haec!
• cynnbad - thanks to you, I am *only just now* getting a latin pun in my old Asterix comics involving drunk roman legionnaries. *slaps forehead*
• Bees can hardly be far behind that last comment...
• Damn you, ooga_booga. Change that to: "Bees can hardly be far behind cynnbad's last comment."
• hawk, verb = to clear the throat Mirriam-Webster, and other dictionaries.
• Isn't that a bird?
• A hawk and a swallow.
• I can say with authority that this is already hilarious, but knowing both the cats and humans involved makes it - somehow - vastly more entertaining. Heh.
• Huius! Huius!! Huius!!!!! Oh, God! I feel so much better now!
• Excellent. My plan to interfere with Bernockle's posts continues. Bwahahahaaaa! Haec!
• i bet that randolph guy is a cat...there's just something about him...
• But just imagine that your antagonist is a cat. You can't win. Either they scratch up your best furniture, or kill your favorite baby birds. No matter what, they stare at you with that inscrutable look. It's never their fault. They're just native creatures, acting on instinct. Not even Donald Trump could find fault. Oh, God, another cat thread. Never mind.
• Thank goodness other people have those Latin attacks... I feel just slightly less crazy now. Very slightly, mind you.
• You can never predict a Latin attack. They tend to pounce on you.
• Oh, and I finally get it, rocket88!!! a hawk and a swallow ergo: they cancel each other! pls cnfrm. thx
• Animal Fight Club is pretty good too. Don't tell PETA! The first rule of Animal Fight Club? Do not talk about Animal Fight Club! And the second rule? Do not miss Animal Fight Club!
• I am enraged at the derailing of this thread. I was hoping that we could all be mature and discuss the delicate issues inherent in reality television shows, cats, and people who want to be cats. You have all let me down.
• Yes, well. You called it an "unpredictable reality show." I prefer my reality predictable at all times. So I guess I have nothing to add.
• "and people who want to be cats." What are we talking about here? reincarnation, therianthropy or perhaps fursuits ? Just wondering.....
