Not a cat lover, then ?
A relative of mine (no, this wasn't me) once got annoyed with a neighbour's cat, and fed it cat food soaked in paraffin - which is one of the few things they can't smell, it seems. Fill in the detail yourself, but apparently the cat looked remarkably surprised, the kitchen needed redecorating & the dog had to have several baths.
I loved it. Missed the original post so it was a nice suprise FP.
I once had such a problem with a neighbours cat that after trying everything else (except antifreeze) I took to "marking" my territory with my first piss of the day... it didn't work. I never figured out who the cat belonged too, which was a shame cos I quite fancied taking a shit in their garden to see how they liked clearing it up.
(Please understand that I'm not generally into weeing and pooing in gardens.)

I don't mind cats, but I do mind them pooing in my garden. I don't think I'm alone in this...
It's really nice to know that even when a sub sinks with no comments or stars, it can still get picked up by the editorial team! I was well surprised that it appeared this morning, I assumed it wasn't up to 'scratch'.
According to the guidelines for contributors bit "The editors read everything that is posted in the Writers’ Room".
And there isn't necessarily a link between what is popular among other posters and what gets used. I've had a couple with no stars make the FP, and it's a nice surprise when it happens because you're just getting over the sound of tumbleweed and it turns out that your idea impressed somebody.
Personally I didn't even know that the Editors were visitors to newsbiscuit, and would like to tell them that I'm a big fan of their song Papillon.

VCG, that's a top tune, but 'kicks like a sleep twitch' might be the worst lyric ever. If only they'd thought of something else, that would have been a massive hit.
I'm sure there are worse lyrics out there than that, but it's not great is it?
I just remember hearing it for the first time and being struck by the fact that 'if there really was a god here, he'd have raised a hand by now' was a little bit deeper than most of the lyrics you hear. Even if it's not an original sentiment it's nice to see people putting a bit more thought into things. They must have tired themselves out by the time they got to the 'sleep twitch' bit though.

Totally agree. Brilliantly produced song, and 'Papillon' is a good name. Wonder what they could have had instead?

Whenever I hear Papillon, I will now sing 'cat poop is deee-licious' over 'it kicks like a sleep twitch'. That may take some explaining...
Not sure it's any better, but it probably works about as well.
