Sunday Theatre Spot: Mind The Cat

By tigtog on March 3, 2013

I met a theatre cat on Friday night, and he was typically imperious and graciously accepting the admiration that is naturally his due. Anybody else know a theatre cat or two?

Dear young person who was possibly looking after somebody else’s dogs

By tigtog on November 26, 2010

Dogs and small children should enter cars from the pavement/kerb side, not the busy road side.

Blast from the past: Kitties!

Blast from the past: Kitties!

By tigtog on July 25, 2010

I was looking for something else on my computer entirely, and came across some attempts of mine in 2004 to take photos of my cats to add to the Infinite Cat Project, showing recursive pictures of cats looking at cats looking at cats etc etc. They just Did. Not. Want. To. Pose., and the photos [...]

Yep, very helpful

By tigtog on March 22, 2010

While I have been taking the pics, cropping them in Photoshop and composing this post, that paw has varied in position from pointing to 2 o’clock to pointing to 5 o’clock.

Sagacious Shakespeare & Hoydenalicious Margarita Mayhem

By tigtog on November 20, 2007

Assume a hoyden, if you have it not. Which work of Shakespeare was the original quote from? Get your own quotes: Meme yoinked from Lauredhel’s LJ. I spent the weekend overlooking Copacabana Beach on the Central Coast with three of my favourite hoydens, old friends from my stand-up comedy years. (It would have been four [...]

Chris Clarke wants marsupial tales

By tigtog on September 27, 2007

So he’s tagged me with this Animeme, via Bora. I’m not that much into memes generally, but this one appeals to me. I’m afraid it takes me a little while to get to the marsupials, but I promise they’re here.

To the arsehole who thought the dent in his car was more important than my neighbour's dog lying injured on the road

To the arsehole who thought the dent in his car was more important than my neighbour’s dog lying injured on the road

By tigtog on September 15, 2007

While you were abusing her for the horrible horrible dent in your car that a 25kg dog inflicted upon it, another car ran over the dog. He might have survived just you hitting him, but now he’s had to be put down. Fuck off and die. Related posts: Because an injured sex worker is just [...]

Saturday Stuff.

By Lauredhel on August 25, 2007

What I’m reading: Canada’s Chronicle Herald reports that Jenny Dionne paid a cover charge at her regular bar the Dome, had one drink, then nipped out for a smoke. She was refused re-entry under the “No Fat Chicks” rule. Trendwatching.com reports on “Female Fever”, the phenomenon whereby corporations have only just now discovered, to their [...]

Three, four, five, look at him jive

By Lauredhel on June 12, 2007

The simplest ideas, eh? A chap, Juergen, got to wondering what his cat, Mr Lee, got up to all day. So he rigged up a collar-cam and sent him off. The result? Strangely enthralling shots of a day in the life of a cat. In the forum, a viewer asked about the striking lack of [...]

Return of the Friday Furry (with bonus ad hoc hoyden!)

Return of the Friday Furry (with bonus ad hoc hoyden!)

By tigtog on February 9, 2007

I believe some of you have been suffering withdrawals (that’s my excuse to justify how I’ve been missing playing around with my image collection anyway). Stabled (1990) William Wegman Wegman is the Weimaraner photographer, who’s taken umpty-zillion shots of his soulful hounds over the years. They must be amazingly well trained. The hoyden photos for [...]
