The Cat Taking a Break
 

Starting Wednesday, November 9th thru at least Monday, November 13th I will be disappearing for awhile.

Before I go on THIS IS NOT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING ON FLYERTALK OR SOMEONE ATTACKING ME. THANKFULLY I HAVE NOT BEEN ATTACKED FOR AWHILE!

AND I PROMISED I WILL NOT LEAVE THIS BOARD UNLESS RANDY REQUESTS THAT I DO.

I am also telling you all of this because a few times I was off the boards some of you were worried something was wrong. That means more to me than any comped United 1K status or all the miles and the money in the world! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I try to take a personal trip alone at least once a year, to take time to reflect, think about the people in my life, where I've been, where I am going and what changes I need to make.

And, sorry folks I am NOT going to DUSSELDORF! I have reasons for not going I won't bother to explain here. There will be other Flyertalk parties and I suspect I will be Switzerland bound next fall.

I will see some of you Thursday at Parsippany, some this weekend in San Antonio, and some of you on LIVE CHAT.

Be well, have a beer for me and I will see you all soon.

HAVE A MEOWY DAY! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Have a purrfect trip Catman! Hope Yaz and Eddie will be OK (or maybe that your house will be OK http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif)!

Catman,enjoy your time away from FT. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Will there be an official announcement about the acting Cmdr Catcop?

Enjoy a well deserved great break, CATMAN! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

When President Reagan was shot, Al Haig was quoted as saying (in this terriffic blunder), "I'm in charge". Well, of course he wasn't. The vice president was in charge.

So, while Catman is away, I'm in charge.

If there is a thread started every time someone is away for a few days this will be a very busy FT.

Janejet: I thought that's what community and trip report forums were all about (talking about going places then describing what happened on the way, respectively) http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

In fact I EXPECT that FTs will post THREE times: one time for the Itinerary Forum in case you cross paths with others, one in community asking others for a get-together and one in trip reports to let us know how it went http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Catman: have fun!

Catman: Since I'm not well-disciplined enough to schedule "me" time into my life, I take vicarious satisfaction in knowing my friends are taking good care of themselves! Have a great extended weekend!

Catman, enjoy your moments of reflection, solitude, peace and tranquility as you chart your future course.

We eagerly await your safe return.

I am soooooooooo©® jealous!

Catman, puuuurrrrrr the whole time you're away!

Don't worry folks. After a few Shiners in San Antonio this weekend, I'm sure we'll get the Cat to spill the beans! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Can I be acting Cmdr CatCop? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Thank you all for your support.

MarkBach: I would really like to let you be acting Commander Catcop but I don't want to take you away from your studies. It's a LOT of work being a Commander. But come the summer you definitely will be considered.

And Dhammer, To be a Catcop you have to have at least one full dinner with the catcop's boss. I suspect you will be doing it soon enough.

SO I have to ask a good friend of mine to take up the badge... one of the people I trust in the world.

Paging Mr. Love! Mr. PremEx LOVE!

(Anyone who knows one of my weaknesses and MAY GET ME TO REVEAL MY PERSONAL TRIP DESTINATION has the brains and the gutts to wear my badge.


If you can't do it please wake up Newself since he does it so well.

Thanks everyone. I'm not gone YET but I will be soon!

Cat,

And just who is the boss you refer to?
And is that dinner in Colorado Springs?

Dan

I think dhammer53 had it right. All of us who are vice-presidents of one thing or another (PTA &/or Little League count too) get to vote on who's in charge.

Enjoy your trip, Catman.

Im only a newbie here, but would also offer my shadow Gaucho007^^ to look over things while youre gone. (what number do I have in the line...? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif)

Too bad you wont be in DUS, I was looking forward to meeting you.

Gaucho100K

Gaucho, when we finally meet face to face (with you moving to NYC that's a great possibility) then I can put you on the candidates for Commander Catcop.

There has to be some rules for my position now! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Agreed !! Im sure we can meet up for dinner or perhaps at one of the EWR or JFK lounges.

What a salutory idea, Catman! Have a great trip. I recently did a one day run by myself and got a lot out of it. Hope you do the same!

Well this it, I'm outta here. (Well not permanently.)

Thanks for your support and send me positive cat vibes that my upgrades clear and my flights are on time and that I have a wonderful, enriching vacation.

Wherever I am I will think of you.

ENjoy DUS for those going there. I'll wave from the plane (oops, is that a hint on where I"m going???))

See you later.

I figured it out. He's going to Moscow to bring back caviar for the cats.

All righty then. The Cat's away?

Acting Commander Catcop PremEx here, instucting all readers that the new subject of this thread will be...SEX!

Feel free to post whatever your perverted heart desires (within the TOS of FlyerTalk, of course). Just remember to come back and edit it to something clean and wholesome before the Cat gets back and attacks! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

I guess I'll start: Sheep.

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Triple miles on a double upgraded flight to AMS.

Sex, drugs and frequent flyer miles. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum95/HTML/000708.html

Commander Sheepcop, so as not to offend, shouldn't you really write it as "sh**P" http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Did someone say "Drugs, Sex and Rock 'n Roll©?"
(Those were the days my friend. We thought they'd never end).

You mean the 60s are back! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
Cool© - Far Out© - Right On©!
Dr. Timothy Leary, where are you?

I still have several hundred four-track tapes and over 800 eight-tracks, among other 60s memorabilia that will remain unmentioned. I didn't inhale, I swear. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

You mean the 60s aren't really back?
Bummer©! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

[This message has been edited by MRLIMO (edited 11-13-2000).]

Timothy Leary's dead.

No, no, no, no. He's outside, looking in.

The good Doctor, a Messenger from above and beyond!

Hello and MEOW from somewhere in the world (No, I am NOT in DUS or Germany though.)

Having a wonderful, refreshing, reflective time mostly free of Flyertalk.

I will see you all soon.

Love & MEOWS: CATMAN

Whoops!!! CAUGHT!

Sorta like mom and dad coming home one day earlier than you expected from vacation!

Still, Premex, I like your style! That got a laugh out of me for the first time today!

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Busted! I shoulda known he wouldn't be able to stay away for more than a day or two!

Well he's gone again for now, I think. So let's move on from Sheep to a more delicate and refined subject: Crisco! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Lard Almighty! Can't you be serious for one moment?? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Crisco, Wesson Oil! Oh, those swingin' 60s! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Also, that aroma from the incense is forever savored in the memory of my mind, wherever that might be.

Lost in the 60s, I guess. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/confused.gif

Catman, aren't you back yet? I can't wait to relinquish my "Acting Commander CatCop" badge! Not only was it a huge burden, but the darn thing popped my sheep!

It's been an overwhelming job, what with all these Freak-Runt Flying Pre-Verts running about unchecked, and half the board over in DUS guzzling Rheine Swill faster than Delta can tick off it's best customers!

I'm proud to say that I enforced the wholesome family values that you and FlyerTalk have come to represent. Well, maybe "enforced" is too strong a word? Ahem. Well...

I'll be glad when you and the others get back so the board can return to it's normal form of mileage, points, and status debauchery.

Do me a favor? Next time call on someone else. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Catman is still away? Far Out©! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

When the Cat's away, the ..... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Well folks... I'm BBBAAAAAACCCCCKKK!!! (Sounds like a sheep!)

IT was a wonderful, incredible, enjoyable, refreshing, reflective type of trip!!!! It was good for me but it's nice to be home.

Ok PremEx, you can relinguish the badge. You did a good job but leave the sheep and crisco at home. Thank you BIG BRUDDAR for a job well done.

Next time wanderlust will watch the boards! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Welcome back Catman! Glad to learn that your trip© was a successful one. For some unknown reason, all kinds of freaky© things started happening©. FlyerTalk was not quite the same without you.

It's good to have you back! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
