USAToday has a story today about
Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched The World. Are you kidding? If any of my readers are planning to read this book, you are no longer invited to my blog. In fact, I vow to my Jesus that whenever I see someone reading this book, I will rip it out of their hands ala' Greg Brady and say,
"Watcha readin'?" I'll then heave the book into a tree or nearby stream.
Anyway, the REAL story in the article is the sub story on page 2D about Oscar the cat. It seems
Oscar the cat, a resident of the Steere House Nursing Center in Providence has the ability to tell when residents are about to die. He's actually is able to identify who is going to die, then he hangs out on their bed until they die. Now that's creepy AND interesting.
I'm now announcing a contest. I'm asking readers to submit Youtube videos of an Oscar look-alike cat scaring the hell out of old people. Use your imagination:
- Start by leaving articles about Oscar - in large print and highlighted - around the elderly - so they're familiar about the nightmare that is coming their way.
- Train the cat to look at someone, then away, then look at them again.
- Try to convince some of the seniors to get Oscar to go to someone else's bed so the other person dies instead of them. Suggest that they might want to place boxes of mice under someone else's bed to lure the killer cat there. You know, play them against one another.
- Consider entrapping a really crabby old person as nothing is funnier than an old crab screaming in horror.
Please submit videos to Youtube with tags: That Blue Yak, Contest, Oscar that cat
The winner, if willing to meet me in West Chester, Pa - will be treated to a lunch WITH ME at
Buddy's Burgers on Gay Street. Contest ends Oct 1.
Good Luck.
