One of my coworkers just received a CD consisting entirely of Irish drinking songs about cats.
What are all you hep cats about to today?

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.
Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

It’s probably better than my ill-fated attempt to start a barbershop quartet with dogs…

Love the title.
On topic, I seem to remember Thomas Cahill writing about how Irish scribes and monks used to write about their cats and drinking in the marginalia of their scrolls / books.
So the Irish have been singing about greymalkins and mead for over a millennia, minimum.

Oh,man, that’s now #2 on my list of the trivial things I want (first being the weeping angel statue, natch).
If we could get Shane “Teeth” MacGowan to singe “Whiskers in the Jar”, my life would be complete.

Watched “A Face in the Crowd” last night. Great movie. About a hobo who becomes famous and then goes crazy with power. Reminded me of Sarah Palin.

Are you sure cats means cats?

Thanks for the e-link Douglass.
“Whiskers in the Jar” is about to make the playlist in a certain Oldsmobile Cutlass.

Being Irish, drunk, and possessing several cats (or is that possessed by several cats?) I think I need that.
In my sphere, I’m planning on releasing short stories on Kindle this week (yay!) after which I will get my cats drunk.

I own this CD! Should I be proud of this? I am, it’s great and a lot of fun.

Trying to come up with a civically meaningful use of my time. Any ideas? Caveat: It can’t involve having to spend a lot of time with people. Ironic, I know.

Cats and songs? Yeah… this has been in my head all day thanks to it being on last night. El gato no es bueno.

What’s a CD? Your friend received a Credit Default? You can put Irish drinking songs on those? No wonder those things caused the financial collapse.

@Stooleo: Yes, it’s one of those movies that is good to see to know that the current crazy is not at all unusual for this country.

I know the guy who put that out. And yes, I own the CD too.

I wonder if Minnie McSorley has this collection.

As a proud Harpo-American, I think they should have called this CD “Irish Pussies.”
We’ve been called worse.

I’m going drinking after I chuck this sack of kittens into the river.

@kdaug: I think that it is Shane ‘Tooth’ MacGowan, actually.
