Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2008What's a dingbat?
My mom calls me that ALL the time! (Me Too!) Like when I was checking to see if she had finished all of her chicken soup. (Or when I begged for a belly rub right when she got out of the shower) Or when I showed her my butt when she was waking up. (Or when I burrowed under the covers to find her) Or when I took a nap on her laundry fresh from the dryer. (ooooooo yeah that was good, we both got called that) But we're not really sure. She calls us other things too.... Fluffbutt Twit Brat Snob Nutcase Nosey Varmint (frequently used) Minx (also frequently used) Most of the time those are okay, any cat can take those (what about the time she called you an attention slut?) Erm....we won't go there........but anyway Meowmie tends to use 'dingbat' a lot. But we can't find it in the dictionary.... *Well I believe the definition of a dingbat is someone who's not too bri...OWW!* SHUT UP IMP! (YEAH SHUT UP!) Any other kitty get called this? What else does your hoomin call you? Mischief (and Mayhem) At least she stopped calling me a b*tch, that was LOW. (Well you DID squirt your butt juice on her desk) Shaddup..... Chester: pretty man, Chester the ingester, Mr. H.G. Wells cheeks. Stormmee: fur bag, stormette, insanity in a fur suit. TV, pudding boy OEJ, crank Tiger, Jackie mason in a bad mood.

Dunzi-Soppy cat, twonk, twit kit Sarsi- B***ard cat, Really (as in she's a good cat...really) Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs I forgot my dear friend Hugh's famous Bingo (RB) whom he affectionately referred to as "s**t for brains" or the APOG (Avenging Paws of God) after he discovered that using minatures in an RPG is not always the best idea if you have a cat in the room Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > I forgot my dear friend Hugh's famous Bingo (RB) whom he > affectionately referred to as "s**t for brains" or the APOG (Avenging [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Ooooo don't get me started on RPG games. When I was growing up my brother introduce the family to the card game Magic the Gathering. How's that for a family game? My sis and I used to play on the carpet in the living room. This was also when our family d-thing, Princess Leia was in the prime of puppyhood. We ended up inventing a new character. Wardog. That's when the dog runs through and knocks about your cards. Any cards left side up you could keep. And the tricky thing was that NO ONE knew when the Wardog would strike. And Mischief got my character on WoW killed MANY times by walking in front of the computer monitor. > Ooooo don't get me started on RPG games. When I was growing up my > brother introduce the family to the card game Magic the Gathering. that's a CCG not an RPG Horribly addictive for some people through I never really got into it - brought a few ready assembled decks and that's about it. We played in some sort of league at my club and I was rather surprised to be told I was the 87th highest ranked female player in the UK! There can't have been many female players (87 I suspect) because when I did finally win a duel against a player who was any good it made the club's newsletter front page!

My roommate and I once were bored silly when the power was out, so sat on the floor and played cards. Bad idea...... You wanna know how hard it is to play Texas Hold'Em when the cat keeps batting at your cards. Or when she sits on the flop? Sheesh! >> I forgot my dear friend Hugh's famous Bingo (RB) whom he >> affectionately referred to as "s**t for brains" or the APOG (Avenging [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > could keep.

You cannot roll a save against them. > And Mischief got my character on WoW killed MANY times by walking in > front of the computer monitor. Dunno who has killed my WoW toon more times, Suki or Cary. I think Cary, but its getting closer.

As a DM, I once gave Mandy's boy-friend, Jim, a +1 sword that was +3 against dark fuzzy creatures. I never did get through the lists of what it included. In my games, animals, especially cats, are considered as acts of the Gods and were to be played around, ignored, worked into the game, and treated with respect. QC and Qui Gun Kit both love to play D&D 3.5 with us and are usually welcomed as part of the game. Most of the rest of the crew like to watch from the cat tree. Pam S. who's cats are better gamers than she is. . In my games, animals, especially cats, are > considered as acts of the Gods and were to be played around, ignored, > worked into the game, and treated with respect House rule from the first ADnD game I ever played in (2nd edition) "If after a die is thrown the cat chases it then the number revealed when we get the die back from the cat shall be considered the number rolled, no re-roll allowed" You did sometimes see players (I did it) who knew they needed a good roll and the cat was watching, roll the die in the direction of the cat after all if the final roll was bad then it wasn't your fault but if it was good then we had a tradition of bowing before the cat thanking the cat for making it a good roll for us and stroking the cat whilst thanking him or her for their beneficence in granting us a good roll Those cats got a lot of skritchies Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs I must admit for obvious reasons I am currently referring to Dunzi as "the architect of my recent downfall" Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > My mom calls me that ALL the time!

Don't know how this would apply to one of our perfect creatures. Now "posters" are different -- a dingbat is someone who makes a mountain out of a molehill. A dingbat is a typographical symbol - the Windings font is a collection of them. In the printing world gone bye, dingbats caused Linotype operators to have to break their rythm because they had to be handled separately from regular text. In short, they were a nusiance that generally served no real purpose other than decoration. Yeah, I think that applies to a few in my clowder.  SignatureT.E.D. (tdavis@mst.edu) M watch your Keyboard Geez and I was always told a dingbat bas a blonde on steroids. >A dingbat is a typographical symbol - the Windings font is a collection > of them.

But she also calls Qui Gun Kit "Stoner", "Crack-head" and "Stuper Kitty" She calls Huey "Sausage Boy" and QC "The Lurve Slut." I doan think she's very nice. Cap'n Pine Cone esq. My Meowmie calls me "get down from dere" alot. Tank Signaturehttp://www.serenityscenes.com/ As far as I know, Mischeif, the term "Dingbat" is used in Australia as a term of endearement, much like "oh, you silly thing you" but shorter :-) SignatureIf you're paddling upstream in a canoe and a wheel falls off, how many pancakes can you fit in a doghouse? None, icecream doesn't have bones. > My mom calls me that ALL the time! (Me Too!) > [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > (Well you DID squirt your butt juice on her desk) > Shaddup..... > My mom calls me that ALL the time! (Me Too!) Suki gets called Suki, Sukipuss and Fuzzforbrains. She's not a real smart cat and would like nothing better than to be petted and worshipped 24/7. Pickle has managed to collct "Pickle-icious" and "Picklejuice". He doesn't stay still for long and is into everything. He likes to be near to supervise and observe, but being petted and otherwise being loved on is not for him. He also takes out the drain covers in the bathroom each night. I have no idea why. Yowie >> My mom calls me that ALL the time! (Me Too!) > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > He also takes out the drain covers in the bathroom each night. I have no > idea why. lol. nikki used to do that whenever she stayed at her grandmeowmie's. then she would stuff her mousies and foam balls down the drain. i don't know if they were meant to escape, go fetch me, or what. for the record, nikki loved my mum. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |
