This isn't easy to report. Earlier this morning on our weekly Starbucks trip, the Catman, high on an iced latte, broke free of his leash and ran directly into two lanes of oncoming traffic. He was struck a number of times (the specific number doesn't matter) and dragged about a hundred meters. I found his lifeless body sprawled out face up on a table cloth with a blue flower design, peacefully at rest until the end of time (see photo). I'd call it a freak accident, but I think that goes without saying.

Editor's note: There was quite a bit of debate at YDG.blogspot.com about whether or not to run this piece - particularly, the final line. I, J. Groodbud, was in favor, while the Catman thought it was too morbid. We don't always pull up the curtain to reveal the inner workings of YDG, but in the name of transparency I thought we'd make an exception this time:
J: I really like the piece on the Catman getting hit by a car
J: It got me laughing
J: and will startle our audience
Catman: haha
Catman: because you would like to see that happen
J: I wouldn't like to see it
J: but I wouldn't mind hearing about it
In the end, because the Catman hasn't contributed anything to the blog for over a day, I won out. Enjoy.

ReplyDeleteI am confused as to whether J's name is "J" or "J."? And if it's "J." then what does it stand for?
ReplyDeleteJ. is both long and short for J - I wanted to end this response there but would have had to have written "J. is both long and short for J." which might have confused you more. Does that help? I hope so.
ReplyDeleteThis post is tasteless.
ReplyDeleteI will cease my daily purchases of Catman merch (too bad for J's salary: next up was the 100 pack of catman buttons for $200).
