Boys who are girls, who like girls to be boys.....

Vendredi, Obi avait rendez-vous à la clinique vétérinaire pour un petit coupage de glaouies. Une grande étape pour lui; j'ai passé du temps à lui expliquer ce que le monsieur allait lui faire afin de le préparer psychologiquement à ne plus être un vrai p'tit mec.
Le véto reçoit donc Obi, regarde sous son trou de balle pour localiser ses coucougnettes... et surprise, ce ne sont pas des coucougnettes! Et oui, Obi est une demoiselle!
La personne qui nous a donné le chaton nous a précisé que c'était un gars, et le premier véto qu'on est allés voir ne nous à pas dit le contraire (mais on ne lui a pas demandé non plus), donc nous n'avons jamais remis en question que le petit truc noir sous son cul était un attribut masculin. Raté.
Donc voilà, exit les "Mister Kenobi" et autre surnoms testostéronés, Obi devient féminin. C'est rigolo.
Desperate Workmates
I was in the office yesterday, like every week day, dedicately working towards the success of my company (I mean, the company I work for) when I suddenly looked up and saw HIM!
Well, not him really, but an identical lookalike. I learnt later on he's one of the bunch from our Californian global headquarter, visiting for a couple of weeks.
Now I'm very confused. He's actually sitting at the desk next to mine right now, and I can't help looking at him and replaying all the Desperate Housewives episodes in my head. I'm still in shock.
Bloody hell... what a boring life I have.
New Year Resolutions
As I want to keep my New Year resolutions for more than three weeks this year, I decided to have a look at an health Q&A to ensure I choose and prioritise my resolutions in an informed way - and set out objective, measurable, realistic and attainable targets.
An e-mail I've received today answers all my questions:
Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... Don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!!... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO . Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.
Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. And remember: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming : Woo Hoo, what a ride!
Ok. That was useful information.
I've made up my mind about my New Year's resolution: Leave work earlier.
