I used to post to this group some about a cat I had problems with, I
am only popping in now because I was looking at cat videos on you tube
and ran across this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U765K8vnS8&search=insane%20cat

I thought someone here might know the origin of the video if it is
something that has circulated or maybe someone might see it that
recognizes the cats/person's voice.  I know it is unlikely anything
will result from trying to find the person in this video but it
disturbed me.

wish someone would report him. THe poor cats, absolutely sick

When you see "abuse" in the subject, a good rule of thumb is, don't watch
it. Usually the intent of the OP is to upset you. I didn't watch it. I never
watch these things.

Me either - I'm just glad when there *IS* a warning in the subject line so I
can avoid the thread.  If there were something I can do to stop these things
(writing letters to congresscritters for tougher laws), I do - other than
that I don't want to upset myself reading about it.

It's not gruesome, but it's sad.  One can tell quite a bit from the
house.   My assessment: a bored kid in a working-class Catholic home,
somewhere back east, harrassing his parents' cats while they are at
work.

What is sad is that the kid is surrounded by these cats, and he
doesn't realize he would get a lot more pleasure from making friends
with them than he can by acting like a nut to amuse his doltish peer
group.

Hmm.  I am not afraid of much, but you know, I am afraid of watching
films where any helpless creature is abused, human or otherwise. I
would not be such a pussy about it, but my watching such things can
do no good, you know? I think one of the worst things to experience
is a wrong that one is helpless to make right in any way, suffering
one is completely powerless to ease. Though I think I am somewhat
effective in my own small circle, the fact is that there is a lot of heinous
sh.t going on that I can do absolutely nothing about. My best response
to it has to be to avert my eyes from the most obvious manifestations.
Otherwise, I get too crazy.

Speaking of Conan :)

I wonder how he is doing and how Philip's new Kitty Omar has
fared?

I've seen it before. Gorgeous cats, particularly that all white one. But
one sick bastard that owns them. Why the hell adopt a cat if you're

I don't know.  I am halfway convinced he thought it was humor and
halfway convinced he has a mental problem and was not trying to be
funny.  Either way, nothing can be done about it I guess.

Why videotape yourself acting like an utter psychotic? The sad thing is,
there are people who treat everyone, including their own kids, like
this, and think nothing of it. I always thought the treatment should be
to put them in a room and treat them the same way for, say, a week, and
then discuss how they feel afterwards. I imagine it wouldn't be much
different from those who suffer PTSD.

You're probably right. But ethical rules prevent psychologists from
doing experiments like that.

BTW, if you want to see two very spoiled cats:

There was a recent study published on people who abuse animals (and
possibly already discussed here). While it's long been known that
serial killers, the most extreme antisocials, torture animals - the
study found that people who even mistreat animals are often folks who
will mistreat other people.

I'm sure this guy is a great fellow to have around (and no, I've also
learned not to watch these types of videos).

Ah, yes. The third stooge has to chime in.
Now we've covered the whole special ed. class of rpch+h.
Give it a rest, Nancy. You're starting to sound like you're taking
the same pills that Lyn has been on.
You, Lyn, and Barry are the village idiots of this group.

You lost any semblance of credibility a long time ago. I visualize
you like Jim Carey as "Ace Ventura", talking out his a.s. I notice
you even prefaced your comment with a "Pfft".......the sound of that
first fart before the sh.t starts oozing out your a.shole. You probably
even enjoy sniffing your own flatulence. Actually, I KNOW you enjoy
sniffing your own flatulence.

And there's Lyn. The perennial victim with a shitty life.....but it's
never her fault even though she admits, constantly, to having a
total lack of character. Yet she wants to tell everyone how they
should think. A total failure as a human being who wants to bring
everyone down to her level of mental illness. I gotta wonder
what type of human refuse would marry a loser like that....and
how many other women he's f.cking on the side.

Then there's babbling Barry. The attention starved, mental
midget, that hasn't gotten laid since his sheep ran away. He
really should trade in his copy of Cakewalk for "Hooked on
Phonics". It's probably his mother's fault.....she never should
have had sexual relations with a chimp. Barry's gotta be
one of those Humanzee's that geneticists have been talking
about.

You clowns really should take your act on the road. It worked
for Moe, Larry, and Curly....although Barry's more of a Shemp.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like you to welcome to the stage,
tonight, Babbling Barry, Loony Lyn, and Narcissistic Nancy....
Please put your hands together for "The Catgroup Circle Jerk"

So did all you tree huggers get together and save a woodchuck this
weekend, Loony. And I think you mention jerking off so much that
you must have a problem with your husband yanking the salami
instead of porkin' you. I guess you don't let him out of the house much
or he'd just be doin' some of his ho's.

>You really need a real life, Nomen.  

I've got one. And it doesn't involve raising someone else's kid, crusading
for moronic causes, or making excuses for a pathetic life.

>One that doesn't involve big guns

I don't have any BIG guns, actually. I can kill quite well with the smaller
calibers and an accurately placed shot.
Not that I don't enjoy wiping out a family of bald eagles a mile away with
a .50 cal., but after a half dozen shots my shoulder gets REALLY sore.
BTW, bald eagle tastes a lot like spotted owl.
And I know you'd like it because it's mostly dark meat.

>and monster trucks.

Never owned one. But I'd rather drive one of those than that pimpmobile
your ol' man drives. I'll bet his ho's really like it, though.

When did you become a troll?

You know - if you was to admit you are needing some attention, that
would be noble.
I mean, we all have needs... it's not shame or mystery

did you know - you don't have to act like a pig routing in the mud just
to get attention?

>When did you become a troll?

If telling an idiot the their thinking is flawed makes you
a troll, then I'm a troll.

If contempt for loud mouth, angry, losers like Lyn makes me
a troll, then I'm a troll.

Lyn, for one thing, is a blatant racist and throws out racial slurs
at every opportunity. Calling someone a "redneck" is no different
than calling someone a "nigger". What's really pathetic, is that
she's got this idea that because I have a gun, got an engineering
degree from MIT, make a living by trading in stocks, am not poor,
fly a plane, and don't live in the ghetto, that I must be "white".
Putting aside the fact that she's a racist, she's also incorrect.

Lyn has no rational argument for any of her beliefs. Her whole
view of the world is a fantasy, a delusion, a total sham. She, and
Nancy, have only a pathetic ad hominem argument to throw up
a smokescreen to hide reality. When I expose that reality, they
go ballistic. Then the idiots throw out sh.t like "bigoted gun freak",
"jerking off to the tune of my name", references to "monster trucks"
(never been to a monster truck show in my life), "fuckwads",
"numbnuts Republican", "single-eyebrowed blowhard", "micropenis".
I'm surprised that they've missed "NASCAR".

Lyn is the bacteria that causes the minor wounds of society
to fester. Nancy is the virus that binds itself to the world's DNA
and replicates within the weaker cells to destroy to host.

You, Barry, are harmless by yourself. A little f.cked up, but
basically harmless. But you are the agar within which their
disease breeds. And as such, you become even more dangerous
than them. And besides, aren't you getting tired of being Lyn and
Nancy's buffoon.

>I thought you was cool man

Only when the blues ooze out of my Les Paul and drill into

Other than that, I'm just middle class America, out mowing my lawn.

Actually, it would make my night to hear that Lyn was raped
and murdered by one of those street thugs that she's so fond of.

Really?  I don't recall saying anything regarding the color of your
skin.  Non-white people can have red necks as well, dildo breath.  A
redneck is an uneducated hillbilly who loves his country no matter
what, totes a gun and votes Republican (among other things).  I am sure
there are people of ethnic persuations other than European that fit
that description.

I didn't know any of those things about you except that you have a gun.
The only reason I know that is because I read some exchange you had
with Catnipped (I think it was)  about guns.  What little I do read
that you post tells the rest.  You're a typical flag-waving American
dickwad.  A dime a dozen.

> Putting aside the fact that she's a racist, she's also incorrect.

I never assumed you were white.  I only ascertained you are an a.shole.

Nobody's gone ballistic, boy.  I merely laugh at your obsession with
me.

Micropenis fits you quite well, you see.  You are certainly threatened
by strong, independant, thinking women.  So much so you obsess about
us, and post about us endlessly.  99% of the time, I don't even read
your posts.  You're tiresome, at best, and really quite a joke.

Now run back to the sheep barn, Jim-Bob...

don't worry... nothing like that is going to happen to you.

I feel sorry for his wife (if he has one), since he's so threatened by
a woman who has a brain and states an opinion.  He probably walks all
over her and beats her down emotionally if not physically.

What?  His comments about gang rape or whatever it was?  I didn't blink

He's just a troll at this point.  He's pissed off because Cybercat and
I speak out minds and have a brain.  It threatens him, poor
little-dick-man.

It's just so weird that he obsesses about me and Cybercat because of

You got that right.

Barry's obviously never read
"The Millionaire Next Door"
"Seven common denominators among those who successfully
build wealth:
1) They live well below their means
2) They allocate their time, energy,and money efficiently, in
ways conducive to building wealth
3) They believe that financial independence is more important
than displaying high social status.
4) Their parents did not provide economic outpatient care.
5) Their adult children are economically self-sufficient.
6) They are proficient at targeting market opportunities.
7) They chose the right occupation."

And, in contrast to all the losers who claim that wealth has to
come from inheritance, "Eighty percent of America's millionaires
are first generation rich".

Anyway, I've enjoyed chatting with you, Matthew. But this place
has become a real cesspool with two large turds floating on
top. So I'm outta here. I wish I had your email address 'cause
I'd like to ask you a few more questions about central Florida.

Just thought I'd check for a reply before flying out to my place
in Martha's Vinyard for the rest of the week (Gotta do a few repairs
on the place in anticipation of putting it on the market  and moving
south). The wife and I have a rule about the place......NO
computers, and the answering machine takes all calls. So I'll be
out of touch for a few days.  
Got mixed feelings about selling the place. Lovely island, great
beaches, incredible fishing, and there's something kinda cool
about walking the beach and giving a casual wave and a "hello"
to Hollywood celebrities. Last time I flew in, I parked the plane,
went in to the FBO to tell them how long I'd be tied down there,
and wound up chatting with Meg Ryan for a few minutes.
Nice girl, and I'll tell you, if I wasn't married.........................................  :)
But the winters...........I've had enough of the winters. If I never see snow
again that will be just fine with me.

For some odd reason, my email program occasionally adds an
extra dash (-) when I post my key and I have yet to figure out why.
You're probably seeing (- -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----)
and (- -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----). Take out the first
(-)and the space at the beginning of the line so it reads
(-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----) and
(-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----). You should be able to
capture the key just fine.
Or as an alternative, post your key and I'll encrypt my email
address to you. If you haven't made your own key, yet, you
do that by right clicking the padlock on the right toolbar (somewhere
near the time display), Left clicking PGPkeys, left click "Keys" on
the popup window, then click "New" and follow the instructions.
Then you just copy it from your key list and paste it in the message.
My wife never understood the value of encryption until the day
one of her customers accidentally sent her a list of ALL their
government contracts, prices, delivery dates, part numbers,and
a symbol that identified some of the parts as "classified". She
probably could have made $100,000 by selling the list to their
competitors. Now ALL her customers use encrypted mail.

Gotta go. I want to be on the ground before the afternoon
thunderstorms pop up. I have to fly right over the spot where
JFK jr went down and always feel a slight twinge of
apprehension. And, of course, that damned engine ALWAYS
starts running rougher when I fly over the ocean, and suddenly
smoothes out again when I'm back within gliding distance of
land. :)

Take care

HORK!  Did you tell her about your smegma theory of investing?  If
not, you missed a great opportunity to score some points with her.
Here is the dialog I envision:

MEG RYAN:  That's really cool -- almost as impressive as your airplane
and your summer retreat here on Martha's Vineyard.  But why do you
call it the smegma theory?

NOMEN: Oh, you know, cuzza all that smegma women have in their twats.

MEG RYAN:  Far out!  Say, I'm giving a little party tonight... why
don't you drop by?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smegma

"Smegma, a transliteration of the Greek word [...] for soap, is a
combination of exfoliated (shed) epithelial cells, transudated skin
oils and moisture that can accumulate under the foreskin of males and
within the female vulva area, with a characteristic strong odor and
taste. Smegma is common to all mammals, male and female."

Some time back, Nomen described his "smegma theory of investing" --
selling the shares of companies when a female CEO takes over.

You know, it was in that thread that I realized what an a.s the man really
is, though I had noted a decided lack of cojones from when he began posting
a couple of years ago. However, I missed that particular comment. I have a
natural filtering device that takes in just enough of obnoxious people like
this then blocks the rest, it's like an internal kill file. Once my built-in
processor stamps "a.shole" on them, anything goes with regard to output but
input is limited. (KInd of like a scarlet "A" of another kind, lol)

Life is too short to give stupid people too much unction, especially
aggressively stupid people with a false sense of entitlement.

Nevertheless, I think Nomen will be baaaaacccck in one incarnation or
another, and that's cool there is room for everyone.

Rumble contacted me.  I offered what solace I could.  He was judged
summarily and injustly because of his first unfortunate post.  He was
genuinely worried about his cat.

I told him his Selim the Grim posture would simply amuse you and egg
you on, but you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings for real.  

I got your number, because I'm the same way.  I love to make people
bash their keyboards in a white rage... but when they start losing
sleep because of me, I lose sleep because of them, and that's no fun.
Unless it is one of the relatively rare people who really deserve to
have their feelings hurt, and they are out there...

Right, you know I contemplated, but I really was just joking...
who would honestly accuse a stranger of smoking crack

then again, I felt that others was wondering if the whole story was
real or not and I was willing to get called an a.shole just to give
Rumble a chance to back up and punt.

I really didn't believe he took me serious, maybe he did.

but after the star performance he gave, I'd say were even.

Yeah.  Nomen is a bonehead with a big ego, but I don't sense the
workings of a black, devious heart, as I have with some of the others
in this group, most of whom have vanished and are not particularly
missed.

I thought the smegma thing was fun.  I am a sucker for bathroom humor
of any kind.  The more offensive, the more gleefully I enjoy it.

My take on it is that Catnipped really thought "Nomen" was trolling
in the thread about female CEOs. I didn't. I know that tone, that's
an easy one to place! Accompanied by the level of venom displayed,
and a little unflattering light was shed on this aging know-it-all.
Catnipped has a handgun, and she and "Nomen" talk guns--but
I cannot imagine that she would think too favorably of his display
in here the last couple of days. I may be wrong ... it does happen.
Maybe she will chime in, or maybe she will opt out of chiming in,
an equally honorable pursuit!! ;)

And ... my last word on it .. (maybe, hee!) I believe it is perfectly
within one's rights to hold bigoted opinions and spout them as
loudly and often as one likes. But to take it personally when
people who have heard them don't like you for holding them?
Not reasonable.

You're the spitting cobra of this group.
I just presented FACTS that you didn't like.
And, BTW, my wife is going to fire the last woman in her employ,
tomorrow (She would have fired her today but she wanted to
dump the idiot on 6/6/06......I love her sense of humor). Anyway,
when she started the business she had vowed that she was
going to give women a chance to succeed in a male dominated
industry, where she fought her way to the top, that as she said "saw
women a just secretaries".
Now, 7 or 8 women (in and out) later, she has vowed to never hire
another female again, considers most women to be "lazy, stupid,
bitches", and now realizes why she had to fight her way to the top.
It wasn't discrimination, most women haven't been worth a damn.
She once thought that, when given to opportunity, women would
rise to the challenge like she did. Now she realizes that they don't.
Bottom line.....Most women aren't like my wife (I knew that, already).

>I believe it is perfectly
>within one's rights to hold bigoted opinions and spout them as
>loudly and often as one likes.

I know, anything a bitch doesn't want to hear is a bigoted opinion.
You're just like most blacks. Ok, Sambo, you dropped out of
school at 16, didn't learn to read while you were there, talk in
ghetto speak, can't do simple math, and won't get of the street
corner to find a job...........I guess you're not a corporate CEO
because of bigotry.
That attitude, and level of stupidity, will get you nowhere.
Learn the difference between facts and opinions.
I LOVE smart women with a strong desire to succeed. Your husband,
obviously, does not.

>But to take it personally when
>people who have heard them don't like you for holding them?
>Not reasonable.

Sure, what "reasonable" individual would take "aging know-it-all"
personally.

But, anyway, this group has become you private toxic waste dump
and I'm going to join the group of individuals who were wise enough
to bail some time ago, and leave you and Lyn to wade in your own
feces.
Enjoy your ignorance.....it'll probably be with you for life.

Oh, and I have a tentative dinner date with Catnipped, and her husband,
in Houston this summer. So I may get a chance to find out, first hand,
what she thinks. But she seems to be making it in one of the most
difficult businesses in the world, so I think we'd get along fine. And we
can talk about guns and other ignorant redneck stuff.

And in conclusion:
Go f.ck yourself.

You take all of this Usenet stuff much too personally. Just email Lori and
ask her what she thinks, dummy. She's pretty straightforward. I have every
idea that she may just tell you that you have created a fiction to suit your
mood here, but I certainly hope she does not enflame you further. lol

Meanwhile, I have no idea what has made you react to anything in
Usenet like somebody killed your dog, but I do hope you feel better.
I mean that.

Usenet is not for sissies. It really isn't. And it is rarely personal.
You're
a bit old for male menopause, "Nomen." Maybe look into some sort of
SSRI?

This is a cat group, where people come to talk about cats and sometimes
segue into off-topic exhanges. Nothing that happens here is the end of the
world, I promise you.

If I had known that three people posting to a Usenet

You can tell by the cat's body language that they aren't being abused.
If anything, the cat's are looking at the guy and asking to themselves
"is this guy is some kind of a nut?"

Probably the guy is home alone and bored. I wish his mother or
wife/girlfriend had a copy of this video. He'd be sleeping on the
doorstep and the cats would get a little peace and quiet.
