Bob M - 05 Mar 2005 17:10 GMT
 You boop your friend next to you while at dinner. A group of us went
to a German place last night to eat. Out of the blue I decided to boop
Bryan. He jumped a mile and said "What the hell was that." So I had to
explain it to him. He thinks we're nuts.

Booping (gentle poking) to get reaction from cat.

Oh no! I don't understand! What is a boop?

Point your index finger and gently poke a soft, round little belly - *ANY*
soft, round little belly!!!  ;>

It started when Krista adopted Hubert (or "the Hube" as in booping the
Hube) - that soft, round little belly just begged to be booped!!!

And of course, as you poke the tummy (or any other part of the cat), you
have to say 'boop'.

No doubt that we're nuts.  We kind of take pride in that.
I've been with this newsgroup for a long time, but somehow missed out on
knowing what a boop is and how you would boop someone.
Would someone  please enlighten me?
Thanks,

As I understand a boop , you point your index finger and poke it in a
baby's tummy.  This seems to make them laugh.  It seems to me that doing
it to a cat would make them grab your finger.  Doing it to a grown man at
a dinner party?  Well I'm sure it would make him think you were nuts.MLB

Cary is exceptionally boopable. Shmogg'd just take my finger off in the most
effecient manner possible. IBKFergus would take it as an invitation to
*slowly* shred my entire arm.

IBKFergus is currently ridding the world of evil q-tips. One at a time. She
jumps up to the shelf I keep them, takes one out of hte box (she removed the
lid to unkown whereabouts ages ago) and the races off with it. About 10
minutes later, she does it again.

I"d love to know where she's putting them, but wherever they are, there's
almost a whole box of them. Strange
creature.

Oh. Thanks for the information.  I thought that the put the face in the
baby's tummy and blow to make a loud noise was effective.  However, I can't
see doing it to a cat, either, or a man at a dinner party.

DP does this to Smokey.

Smokey doesn't care.

Sad, really.  None of us are suicidal enough to try it with Nocturne.

Baggy is sitting beside me, giving me very strange looks, wondering why
I'm laughing.

Under the sofa?  Down a heat vent?  In a cold air intake?  Under the
refrigerator?  Under the bed?  Happy hunting.   MLB

Not too bad really.  I read an arthritis support group and purrs are just a
normal accompaniment to prayers there.  Many cat owners and cat lovers so it
just seems natural.

Same with the cancer support group.  They're used to me offering purrs
and healing thoughts and wishes.

You use RPCA dialect such as TED, d*g, etc in places other than this
newsgroup.

Worse, your family and friends are so used to being booped that they
ignore your efforts (I can always get a reaction from Mandy) but the
wait staff at the restaurant think you're really weird.  We have a lot
of fun when we go anywhere.
