Bobservations

No Carlos this week, but I do have one about The Boys …

Last week I told you that Tuxedo is back sleeping with his two Daddies thanks to a step stool that gets him easily from the ground to the bed. And so he began snuggling with us each night, but that change kinda irritated one MaxGoldberg, who has had his two Daddies to himself all night for nearly a year.

One night this week, Max came onto the bed, saw Tuxedo snuggling with Carlos and turned and left; he didn’t come back into the bedroom until very late, or early, in the morning, and was not happy. So what does MaxGoldberg do? Well,  on chilly mornings, Tuxedo would always lay down under the desk in the living room, by a heating vent, to get warm; it was his spot.

Until that day this week when  MaxGoldberg got there first and refused to budge. Tuxedo ate his breakfast, walked into the living room, saw Max in his spot, and walked the other direction. And later that morning, as the sun warmed up the sunroom and all the cats headed out there to nap, Max and Tuxedo each chose a different chair to sleep in, even though they normally nap snuggled in the same chair.

The sibling rivalry is real. And kinda funny.

As a Cat of Color Tuxedo is disgusted by the line of questioning KBJ has had to endure from the Republicans. 

A co-worker complained about the high price of gas and I reminded her that she spends five bucks a day, every day, for a 20-oz fancy coffee, and, oh by the way, no one is bombing her family out of their home.

Here’s a tip for the next dinner party you attend … instead of making the usual small talk, and asking people what they do for a living, look them dead in the eye and ask:

“So, who do you hate here?”

It’s quite the icebreaker.

Note to the Don’t Say Gay crowd … if your kids are old enough to learn about the Virgin Mary finding herself miraculously pregnant with another man’s child while engaged to her decades older carpenter boyfriend, I think they can handle the story of Billy’s two dads.

Oh, and this week these billboards are sprouting up all over Florida.

Say ‘Gay.’

I just read that the Maury show is ending after thirty-one … WTF … years on TV and I have just one question: How will I ever know who’s the father now?

God, she’s just so precious I could strangle the life out of her.

Gwyneth Paltrow, who believes she invents everything because she slaps a GOOP label on it, has, ahem, designed a new shoe that almost everyone was wearing back in the 90s and called it ‘new’:  the Pilgrim show, which are for sale from GOOP for $1,195. Or you can try your local secondhand store and get a pair for three bucks.

I really could strangle her, and try to pop her ego like it was a giant zit.

So, we know  that Mark and Debra Meadows submitted voter registration forms that listed their residence as a mobile home with a rusted metal roof that sold for $105,000 in 2021, even though they had never lived there. And we know this caused North Carolina officials to investigate Meadows for voter fraud.

Now we also know that Debra Meadows cast a ballot in a 2020 primary runoff using an address that was no longer valid for voting.

Quelle surprise … Republicans breaking the law.

Last week a couple in North Carolina dropped their dog off at a rescues center, abandoning the pet because they said he was gay; they found him humping another male dog. Well, this week that dog has a new home, and a very LGBTQ+-friendly one at that.

Steve Nichols and his partner, John, adopted Fezco after hearing the story about him getting abandoned by his former human parents. Nichols says they felt an immediate connection to Fezco, as both he and John have faced discrimination in their own lives.

Now Fezco has two dads who love him.

This is model, athlete and doctor for the NHS, Rodolfo Valentino, who was born in Napoli and moved to the UK seven years ago to work for the NHS. But the question is: Would You Hit It?

  1. Love that Tweet of the Day! And glad Fezco found his Forever Family!

  2. By the beard of Zeus, you have got a lot of good stuff here, Bob.
    I hope Tuxedo and Max work it out but I know cats are pretty stubborn so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
    That is quite the icebreaker. I think it will come in handy when I need to make small talk at the gym.
    I am glad the billboards are happening. Hard to believe it is 2022 and people find this offensive but the some of the shit in the Bible is OK.
    I love that Fezco got a happy ending.
    Take care, Bob.

  3. So funny about the kitty rivalry!

  4. Trust me; your fuel prices are way, way below ours. We pay £1.70 for 1 litre of diesel - that is $2.24 for 1/4 of a gallon.

  5. Tuxedo a CoC! Love it!
    Pilgrim shoes get even more hideous at that price!
    Some idiots need to learn that a dogs humping is a show of dominance. Of course, then morons will assume the poor animal is into the dom/sub thing.
    Fezco's new daddies are kind of hot.

  6. Fezco is far better off with his new owners as his original keepers must be incredibly stupid. Horny male dogs will hump anything from cushions to watering cans to raccoons and ladies' purses. I wonder if Fezco's original owners were in fact Mark and Debra Meadows. The NC connection seems more than pure co-incidence.

  7. Cats is brats. We have the same issues. Really, they’re adorable and hilarious.

    Like Tuxedo, I’m disgusted by the line of questioning KBJ has had to endure.

    Americans and gas prices!

    I like that icebreaker.

    Say Gay! Gay. Gay. Gay.

    And to think I used to respect Connie Chung. Maury, ugh! 31 years?!?

    Who do you hate? Gwneth Paltrow!

    The stupidity of people! Fezco will be loved and he has a new name, Oscar!

    Rodolfo Valentino! I’m overdue for a visit to the NHS for a thorough examination.

  8. Oh, afterthought. Are these people still gonna be able to don their gay apparel and make the yuletide gay? I don't celebrate, just asking for those who do.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Wait Maury is still on? My bad. I thought that went off years ago.

    Love the say gay....and them popping up all over Flori-duh...hit them right in the kisser. Someone should great a yard sign if they already haven't.

    And the dog story is a heartwarming ending.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I agree Yorkshire....and most times when male dogs do that, it's a show of alpha and dominance....noting to even do with mating.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Ted also asked her if babies were racists.

    Rodolfo? Yes, Bob... yes, I'd shatter that...

    Glad Fezco found a new home. And such a perfect one. A sad story with an incredible end, thanks to a couple of gay men. I suppose they can't cover that story in Florida.

    Ah, the Meadows - please, please make him have to resign.

    GOOP? Such poop.

    Maury was on for 31 years? And I NEVER noticed??? Well, I guess that's one secret he was good at keeping.

    Love the billboards. NOW VOTE!

    Hee, hee... Steel Magnolias. Or Dorothy Parker? "If you don't have anything nice to say come sit by me."

    Re: Co-worker, good for you, Bob! Spot on.

    Adore your kittens. Hope they work it out. It seems there should be plenty of snuggle room available.

    Kizzes.

  12. I love your cats! They are such fickle creatures!!
    I don't know how Judge Jackson kept her cool with the Republinuts asking such gross shit! I hope all of those bastards get voted out! All of them!!
    Damnit ... Vote Blue 💙

  13. God Paltrow's shoes are ugly!! And as for the price, people must have more money than sense!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Hahaha
    Sibling rivalry IS a thing. Kitties are gonna be kitties.
    And the Repugs are showing their deep, deep stupidity and racism, of course. The confirmation process only puts it front and center. Also, the Meadows are breaking the law? Shocking! Not.
    And Gwyneth is selling creepers? A thou a pair? Silly cow.

    And I'll send you my phone number, just in case Rodolfo cannot find his pants.

    XOXO

  15. @Debra
    I love Mrs. Betty Bowers.
    And it amazes someone would dump a dog because they think it’s gay … I wonder if the owner isn’t just worried folks will think he or she is gay?

    @TDM
    They are funny, especially napping in opposing chairs!!
    And Fezco, whose new name is Oscar, is probably happy being loved for a change
    xoxo

    @Helen
    We’re whiny spoiled children in this country.

    @Deedles
    Tuxedo, YASSSSSSS!
    At a tenth the price they’re still ugly and nothing new, Gwyneth!!!!
    Some people should not own pets if they are that ignorant.
    Fezco/Oscar got lucky with those Bear Daddies.

    @Yorkshire
    I kinda wondered if it wasn’t the Meadows who dumped their dog. They seem like those kind of people.

    @Mitchell
    Yeah, these two boys are just pissy, but they’re slowly getting used to the idea that the old pecking order is back.
    The GOPers who asked those questions are just trying to get a soundbite on Fox!
    Americans are bitches.
    Perhaps a new icebreaker: Do you hate Paltrow as much as I do??
    I have never seen an episode of Maury and I am grateful for that.
    I’d be more than happy to tell Rodolfo where it hurts.

    @Deedles
    The Gay goes on, no matter what the Florida, Tennessee, Georgia etc. loons say.

    @Maddie
    I was shocked to hear Maury still had a show. Damn that cable access channel.
    GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY. And I’d buy one of those signs.
    That is a lucky dog because he’s with people who love him.

    @upton
    Ted is a fuckmonkey.
    Rodolfo. Grrrrrrr.
    I imagine you can’t say Gay Dogs, yeah.
    Put Meadows in chair or fine he and the Missus for cheating.
    GOOP … you say poop, I say crappy shit.
    Yes VOTE!!!!
    Yes, I like that line at parties, too!
    The two boys are settling back into their New/Old World, though there are some dirty looks passed back and forth every so often.
    xoxo

    @Marcia
    Our cats are something else altogether.
    It would be hard not to clap back at the ignorance of those questioning her. How dare they.
    Yes …. Vote Blue 💙

    @Treaders
    It proves there’s a sucker born every minute … and they want hideous footwear.

    Kitties gonna be little bratties! =)
    The GOP has nothing to say since they put forth a drunken frat-boy rapist and a handmaid who never tried a case. Fuck ALL the way off.
    Gwyneth? Cow? I mean, that's kind of a mean thing to say .... about cows.
    I don't think Rodolfo owns pants!
    xoxo

  17. @ Mr. Shife
    Glad you enjoyed the Bobservations. it's been a week!
    The two boys are slowly coming around to one another again; they've been besties for 15 years so they gotta stay together.
    I think the icebreaker does get people talking, and gets the boring ones moving away.
    I need a billboard, or as Maddie said, a nice Say Gay yard sign.
    Fezco, now Oscar, lucked out!

  18. The Tweet is great!

    Thumbs up for Rodolfo!

    Dogs will hump anything, that's why you get them neutered.

    I do believe Debbie M is in deep shit.

    Honestly, I thought Maury had retired years ago.

  19. Your response to the Co-Worker was Priceless! The line of questioning for Judge KBJ by Repugs was disgraceful and she held up with dignity and grace despite their obvious bias and ignorant behaviors... but then, it was predictable who said what, wasn't it? Ted Cruz and the rest have infiltrated and destroyed their Party, turning it into a Clown Show of the worst kind. It is troubling whose infiltrating Politics these days, and dangerous that it's not only being tolerated, but applauded by too many Lunatics who Voted them in.

  20. Judge Brown showed incredible grace, I couldn't have done that. The answers I would have given, well Bob would probably be quoting me

    ReplyDelete
  21. A gay dog! Good lord. People are so stupid. Thank goodness for Fezco's new daddies. Love the "GAY" billboards. I didn't even realize Maury was still on the air.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Let's not forget that Mary was supposed to be 12 and Joseph was supposed to be 30

    I will credit Maury with helping me understand that I was bisexual. While his man or woman guessing game was pretty transphobic in principal, a much younger me knew a lot of these trans women were pretty darn hot.

    Valentino is definitely too masculine for me

    Ted Cruz surely has proven Latino babies can grow up to ironically be white supremacists

Say anything, but keep it civil .......
