Thanks but no thanks Catster!IN THIER LETTER OOOH IN THIER LETTER!!!
sung to the tune, in your letter. by REO speedwagon! I know my owners are old for some. Anyways, let us start this blog off with a email my owners recieved yet again from those profesionals over on www.catster.com.
Lee,Sorry to be so long getting back to you. It's the holiday crunch time and all.
Anyway, Randi and I discussed the situation yesterday and determined that Murphy's page had been flagged by a user who not only read the page, but took the time to back read the diary to the entry where you copied the e-mail correspondence we exchanged (and you copied into the diary) about the last flagging.
In that exchange we gave examples of the language.Well, we unkenneled the page and contacted the well-meaning member to ask them to relax a bit and give folks some breathing room.
Randi also gave the person a time out from being able to kennel pages.Randi and I also discussed the experiment of your disclaimer and we think it actually contributed to the problem.
Much like how those TV disclaimers "This program may not be suitable, etc." actually drive ratings up for all age levels, your disclaimer was part of what drew the attention of our well-meaning Catster.
If you recall, I wasn't very optimistic that the disclaimer would work:This is not to say that your experiment (it can only be called an experimentsince I know of no other pet page with such a disclaimer) is not worth trying.I'm just not very confident the approach will work in our community. [Wed, 15 Nov 2006 18:10:54 -0500]
Randi and I would suggest that you remove the disclaimer. Of course, it's totally up to you, but we think the disclaimer has proven to be counter productive.
While we can't promise Murphy's page won't get kenneled, we don't think it is as likely to happen since you took the heavy duty stuff to MySpace. As I reviewed Murphy's page and diary to find the problem (and it took me forever to get to the problem entry), I noted that you have indeed altered your posting style.
You're still "edgy" and sarcastic, but you have dropped the courser language and we appreciate you doing so.As a way of making all of this inconvenience up to you, we added some zealies and rosettes to your account. We appreciate your patience and we're glad you chose Catster as an online home for Murphy.We hope you and Murphy and your other furrbabies have a Meowvelous Holiday Season!Meow!-john d.--catster community watch cat-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Dogster & Catster: where no one knows you're a humandogster.com / catster.com
Remember those odds i gave ya last night folks about it somehow being my owners fault? well looks like i was right. My owners loved the discription of me, , ´´sarcastic and edgy´´! Well so was garfeild but i dont recall any syndicated newspaper removing his comic strip due to someone taking offence! OH and note that the profesionals typed i use myspace. WTF? dont they ever read emails in thier intire or just skip thru em? ATTENTION PPL! if anyone reading this thinks they are on the webpage myspace, please leave now , thank you!

FUNNIES!
Dudes a bit wacked but some of em are great!
DMV LICENSE,, only in virgina folks !
At last but not least, how NOT to make small talk at walmarts while in the checkout lane!
I have 2 dogs & I was buying a large bag of Purina atWal-Mart and was in line to check out.
A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. On impulse, I told her that no, I was starting The PurinaDiet again, although Iprobably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that itworks is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry & that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.
I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a guy who was behind her.
Horrified, she asked if I'd ended up in the hospital in that condition because I had been poisoned. I told her no; it was because I'd been sitting in the street licking my balls and a car hit me. I thought one guy was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard as he staggered out the door.
Stupid lady...why else would I buy dog food??
Well folks thats my blog for this eveing! Thanks for stoping on by and checking it out, or not. Dont forget, Cains Weekend Editon, starts tomorow. Take care folks and i´ll talk to you again come monday. From me, please all have a merry christmas !
