HENRI GHENT: You mentioned that you were accompanied on this trip to the Caribbean by your wife and—was it Gippo?

ROMARE BEARDEN: Well, I have a cat—Gippo the cat. And we didn’t know what to do with Gippo so we just took him.

HENRI GHENT: How old is Gippo?

ROMARE BEARDEN: Gippo will be six in August. When we got back Gippo was the official mascot of the ship. People loved Gippo and he loved the ship and he didn’t want to leave because they fed him nearly a pound of calves liver every day. He just loved it.

HENRI GHENT: Describe him.

ROMARE BEARDEN: Well, Gippo is I think a very handsome cat. He’s perfectly symmetrically striped with gray and tan markings. We found him in the woods and he has a little wildcat in him and it took a long time, about six or eight months, when he was a young kitten, to get him trained. But now he’s happy. The studio he feels is his. It’s hard to keep a cat like that for any length of time in a cage at a veterinarian’s. So we took him and it worked out quite all right. We couldn’t take him to some of the islands, like Barbados, for instance, because of . . . .

HENRI GHENT: The quarantine laws.

ROMARE BEARDEN: Yes, the quarantine laws.

HENRI GHENT: In researching some material on you I noticed that there was a cat in very many of the informal photographs. Was that Gippo?

ROMARE BEARDEN: That was Gippo, yes.

HENRI GHENT: He’s quite a star in his own right then, isn’t he?

ROMARE BEARDEN: Well, I keep telling my wife that she should have trained Gippo and used him for ads for cat food and those things because he’s a natural ham. And he’s such a handsome cat that he’d have been a perfect model.

HENRI GHENT: He loves to be photographed then? ROMARE

BEARDEN: Oh, he loves that attention.

what if on Taskmaster one of the contestants died in the middle of filming a task but after doing enough of the task for it to be deemed complete so since there was nothing in the rules to say you had to be alive throughout they allowed it. & then all the other contestants bombed so badly that the dead person won the task and in the studio Greg was there like 'wow you all managed to do worse than Christine and she was dead for most of it'

autism is so cool man. i can say something innocuous and completely true at work, like 'mackerel is a top tier fish', and people get giggly and tell me I'm so funny. what's funny about a nice firm fish with a subtle, almost earthy flavor? not sure. but people are offering me other objects and I can tell them if they're top tier or not. very fun.

I had a dream last night about the rest of the Forsaken cast being released and was so intent on staying asleep to find out as much information as possible that I slept through my alarm and was late to work. This is just one of the many kinds of dystopia one may find oneself in post Wheel of Time cancellation.

[bubisabirthdayboy]

For those wondering who the cast was I DON’T KNOW :[ did not obtain enough information. I do know that Asmodean was the 8th, and separately, that post envisioning Nicola Coughlan as Graendal lives rent free in my head.

all sauron knew about hobbits is that one of those little dipshits had his ring. and the first hobbit that called in with the palantir he was like "....that must be the little freak that has my ring" but no, that was pippin. because there is more than one hobbit, but I guess he didnt consider that.

[busket]

probably didnt help that the heir to gondor, possibly his most formidable enemy, immediately called back and was like "yeah that short fella that just called? hes definitely got your ring and hes with me. fuck you" and sauron was like "ooooh that settles it!!!"

Dogs are a weapon invented by cave males. They contain teeth, urine, and other. Dogs have been observed with many abilities. Some can climb, weep, or even create lesser forms of music. A group of dogs is known as a cinch, and a medium group of dogs is known as a special. Their wealth is considered unremarkable.
