A Monday Panzerism
Panzer on being a happy camper:
This brilliant kitty learned something new today.
Mom's big hot furnace thingy in the basement is broken.The nice repairman gave Mom something he called a space heater.
I watched everything he did. And ...
It looked like a little campfire to me.
And this one is portable.
So ... I put a marshmallow on a stick.
And ...
Eureka!It works like the big hot campfire thingy in the basement did.

A Monday Panzerism
Panzer on imparting information:
Here's a riddle:Do you know why cats don't talk?
Answer:Because you wouldn't like what we'd say.
Expect something different, did you?*
You'd expect us to say things like:"Dinner please" and "Thank you for dinner."
Cats don't think like that.Come on. "Give it to me. IT'S MINE!"
