Look before you...umm, leap?

: snowcoma wrote in metaquotes; April 14th, 2009

Current Mood:: amused

After I'd finished unpacking my bags, scanning some art cards, and eating dinner, I proceeded to the bathroom. The toilet lid was down. Repeat: the toilet lid was down, indicating safety. I began to sit.

The toilet said, inquisitively, "Mrph?"

Having seen approximately eight hundred hours-worth of horror cinema in my lifetime, I was once more fully dressed in less than five seconds. Furthermore, I was standing in the bathtub, that being the furthest I could reasonably get from the toilet without having the presence of mind to flee the bathroom entirely. I looked into the toilet bowl. Alice, balled calmly in the bottom of it, looked back. Meet my kitten, the TOILET SHARK.

Context does not have a scratched bottom. Yet.

Yeah, I was wondering how long it would take for someone to metaquote this. :)

"TOILET SHARK" is the greatest term I have heard in weeks.

Suddenly, collective shrieks erupted from all the adults who grew up in the 1970's and saw Jaws at a formative age.

I have a Maine Coon/Russian Blue mix who will have absolutely no part of water, but a DSH mix we have absolutely loves it. Go figure.

Alice is such a cute name for a kitten. I admit to being biased because it's my name, but still, that is adorable.

That's brilliant. I copied/pasted it to an email to my mother who has no internet access at home, but does have a Maine Coon. (The two may or may not be related, I don't know.)

Shouldn't that be "Look before you leak"?

This needs pictures.

2009-04-14 09:09 pm (UTC)

Kitten pictures are here. Sadly, I think Seanan was a little too shocked to get pictures of Alice actually in the toilet, but there's much fluffiness to be had in the regular kitten pics.

Is it sad that I knew who it was without looking?

2009-04-14 10:25 pm (UTC)

No, sad was the fact that I didn't and had to mouse over the context link before going "Oh. Seanan. Of COURSE."

See above link, in the comment I made with the sleepy-kitty icon.

Bahahah! It's rare that I crack up loudly at a MQ. But wow. Funny!

The "mrph" made me lose my shit.

I have been so traumatized by [laughing at] this post that now I must check toilet carefully for cats before using. Of course we don't have a cat, and the dog is way too big to fit (though I'm sure he'd try if he thought of it).

I laughed so hard there were tears streaming down my face. And my ribs hurt. Thank you so much - I needed that!

The toilet saying 'Mrph?' just KILLED me. It's like it's eagerly smacking its lips for the incoming...leaks.

Oh my God, I laughed so hard I think I broke something. XD

Er, broke. Dear God, I should not internet when I am tired and loopy on pain killers. :)

I've had cats who drank from the toilet, but never any who played in the toilet.

2009-04-28 07:47 pm (UTC)

Late for the party, but I wanted to share that this was the first MQ I read at work that I couldn't contain my laughter. And I've read some REALLY funny ones. Worth it.
