Hmm...I suppose we should be more patient than our four legged furry friends then huh?


Great to see you back.

Thank you both for your greetings! It's nice to be back here. Now that I've gotten over the cyber-lag, I'll venture forth and see what's to be seen.

Hello there, Debby! It's great seeing you, too. Thanks for the warm welcome!



Deb25 and I had exchanged electronic-mail messages, during which communication she pointed out I'd been gone from here too long. The subsequent newsletter mentioned that T-shirt which eltopsis had won then given me; and Fearless Editor hissy included with the reference a nice invitation, for me to return here.



So, yeah, here I am. It'll take a while for me to get up to proper speed, what with this site having grown so much!

Awww, thanks Yola! With all these compliments, the cats are very glad I've returned here.



Hissy, thanks for your gracious welcome! You know, I honestly cannot recall that shaving thread you mentioned; but with enough clues I'd probably remember it. I do recall a few "travel" threads, however!

Mr. Cat, Glad to see you back, I always enjoyed your sense of humor. With the warm weather, we should be ready for a road trip soon.

Hello, bren.1! It's good to see you, too. Yes, indeed, a road trip would be very nice. Where might we go; and where, forum-wise, could such a thread be posted?

A road trip, eh? Well, let me think on the matter for a couple of hours. Then I'll post a separate thread titled "Road trip" here in this forum. *gazes into crystal ball for road-trip inspiration*

My most beloved memory of our dear Mr. Cat is his long-standing devotion to a food near and dear to American hearts.

Deb25, you're a genius! Of course! A trip to the Spam factory! I should have thought of that myself. *begins research*

Puerto Rico... land of rice and beans.
Hmmmm, that sounds interesting... road trip. I love that!

At TCS Compound in Catnip Island somewhere in the Caribbean:

Extra drinks were being served at the Cat Lounge, celebrating the return of Joe, who had been traveling through the world for a good while, until he received an invitation by Hissy and Deb25.

Everyone, was enjoying the time, and the older members of TCS were recalling old days, while newer members, like VÃ:censor:ctor were eavesdropping to get informed on what took place here before their arrival.

And just below the chandelier that lies on the center of the Lounge was a band of Jazz musicians brought from New Orleans, just for the specialty of the occasion.

And the cooks had brought a large wedding size cake reading "Welcome back Joe".

"Hissy, I don't remember of a shaving thread, but perhaps I may be reminded with a few clues. I do remember some traveling threads. thought". Joe said, just before drinking from his Cognac.

At that point Bren.1 mentioned "soon enough we will be ready for a road trip".

"Yes, a road trip would be nice, where could that be posted?" Replied Joe.

His words had barely left his mouth when Whisker's mom said "Did someone mention..... ROAD TRIP?????????" and immediately went running out of the lounge, upstairs and to her suite to start packing.

"A road trip, eh? Well, let me think on the matter for a couple of hours" said Joe while his mind started dabbling into where to go for a road trip.

Changing the subject of the conversation Deb25 came and said "My most beloved memory of our dear Joe is his long-standing devotion to a food near and dear to American hearts." while she put foward, showing everyone a can of SPAM.

"Deb25, you're a genius! Of course! A trip to the Spam factory! I should have thought of that myself." Replied Joe, while he was already planning to go to his suite to start researching where SPAM factory lied.

While everyone was already getting excited and talking about the road trip, ever quiet VÃ:censor:ctor, who was seating in the same table of the conversation thought a bit of how much he disliked SPAM, but as he finished his martini, he smiled and said "Well folks, let's get packing"!

When the party was over, in any given day people would be getting ready to sleep, but everyone was in their suites packing for the road trip, expecting they would be the firsts to be ready.


Okay, folks, I hope you like it


EDIT: I usually don't like SPAM, but I love it, when fried and when used as a condiment of another meal!
