"This envelope's a little light. You wouldn't want anything to happen to Snuggles here, would you? Huh?"

From further down the table, someone cried in exasperation "For chrissakes, use a napkin!"

"Keep it clean, please"? Not only am I feeling a little creatively constrained, but I'm not sure where the line is. Especially when one considers that the word "twatitude" seemed perfectly acceptable when discussing Ethan Hawke in last week's chat.

Well, I'm sure there's a way to work in his nickname without being overtly graphic. Some have already done so...

another one....

"Say hello to my little friend!"

"Leave the gun. Take the cute little kitty."

"I may have played a mobster on TV, but really I'm just a big pussycat."

"Sorry cat, dis one's mine. I need da woik!"

Actor Vincent Pastore and his new kitten try to displace Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes from the headlines with their nickname "PussCat".

Look on d' bright side, kid: in a couple a' years, nobody'll be callin' you pussy?

Snowball, and what he wants to be when he grows up.

There may be thugs on some of you mugs, but there ain't no..never mind!

I CAN HAZ MY BODY BAK??2?

Pussy Galore!

No no no... (Sorry to carry this over from the chat, but it ended on a note that bugged me, leaving me no time to weigh in.)

It's NOT offensive or racist to say that the kids in those inspirational movies are unlikely to excel at the activity in question. Those movies are designed to show us, anvil-like, JUST HOW unlikely they are to foxtrot, or become chessmasters, or whatever. They spend the entire first half of the movie demonstrating that the kids want nothing to do with the activity in question. Then comes the transition, there's an epiphany moment, and they're suddenly good enough to win the city-wide competition.

It's the WHOLE POINT of the genre. Sheesh. Objecting to the description of the formula ("inner city kids unlikely to appreciate poetry") is not only taking PC WAY too far, (and taking a conversation about bad movie genres to a totally unnecessary place) it's missing the point entirely.

Thanks for listening. Back to the cat.

'Look what I found while sleeping with the fishes'

The cast of latest in the Aliens franchise recreates a scene from the movie as Jones 10 explodes from the chest of the mutant Ripley clone.

"And now we have a man who claims his cat can fly across the room and land in a glass of water. Tell me sir, does she do this on her own?"

"No, I fling her."

Ten points to anyone who guess the author of that one!

Damn superglue.

So, Mr. Bond. We meet again.

Please don't kill the kitten, God. I couldn't help myself.

No, Mr. Bond, we expect you to diesy-wiesy. Now wave goodbye Mr. Snuggles.
