Y'all can call me Jerry, friends :D

My last name is Mings which is a variation of Menzies (a Scotish clan)

.
When I found out my real name at age 50, I was given the pureblod Siamese that I named Ming which means light or bright in Chinese. I didn't know at the time wither or not there was an 's' at the end of the name and thought it was Chinese and naming the cat thus was a slam at the crazy woman who bought me right out of the shipping crate.

Wu means dark in chinese and he's Ming's nephew.

The "big knife rack" was a sword stand I made. The pieces to that stand are lost and/or recycled now and before I almost sawed my finger off I had almost finished some. I've got a traditional khukuri stand in the works and several non-traditional sword stands. All made from 100% recycled wood. I've got to get the computer/picture situation straightened out before I try to sell any.

Back on-topic, one of the most amazing cats I ever owned was "Frightenin' Lightntin'" an all black half-Siamese who could talk. This was 30 years ago and my step-son, Brent, caught a mouse in a jar and shut it in his room. Lightning went to the door and said, clear as day "Mouse out now!". He could also say 'Marion' and 'milk'.
One day, Linda, my wife, was on the phone and Lightning wanted to be fed. Linda wasen't going to get off the phone and so Lightning climed to the floor-leignth drapery valence and made eye-contact with Linda. He then stunned her by unhooking the drapery hooks one-by-one.

I could go on and on about pet stories but I do tend to ramble on....
 
I have to ask...did *your* cat saying "Marion" drive your wife Linda nuts?

"Marion?... Marion?...Jerry, who the hell is Marion?"

"Is there anything we have to talk about?"

Oh, Linda was nuts already ;)

Linda=Norma's step-mother
Marion=Norma's mother
Norma=Danielle's mother

And then there was Sushi, a full-blooded Siamese cat that had every genetic defect known to Siamese. Obese, kinked tail and cross-eyed. OK, I know that's not every genetic defect. He would look at an open window and jump into the wall. I used to trim Linda's toe-nails and clip Sushi's claws. Then he saw Linda trim her own nails and wouldn't let me cut his claws any more. He would chew the ends off.
Our Phillipino neighbors had their shed buglarized and bought a pair of Doberman pups. The lady of the house would bring table scraps to feed the pups and as soon as she left, Sushi would go over and eat first. Very funny, but it was hilarious a year later when the two huge adult Dobermans would sit on their haunches and watch this fat, kinked-tail cross-eyed Siamese eat theirfood.
Once a stray Doberman threatened Marion and Sushi harrassed the beast to allow Marion to get in our gate.
Shusi hated cigarettes and would glare and stalk out the room whenever anyone lit up. One morning I grabbed my coffee, lit up and flooped down in my overstuffed chair and then emitted a monster loud, long and stinkey flatus. Shusi stopped in his tracks, turned and ran to jump on the arm of the chair and leaned over to sniff my cigarette as though he thought I had changed to a better brand.
All that head banging eventually affected Sushi and he had a grand-mal seisure while sitting on Linda's lap. He chewed her arm from wrist to elbow. He acted ashamed after that until he finally disappeared.

See what happens when you get the old guy rambeling.

Deffinition: Geezer - Everything reminds him about something that happened 30 years ago that he wants to tell you about.
 
Here is Kismet's Young Bert, the not-right dog.

That's a cool facehugger. I had a pet facehugger a few years ago, but he died:( Just found him curled up dead under the bed. I was really upset. I had heartburn for like a week.

Jake, remember you have to tape your mouth shut when you go to bed. Thats the only problem with facehuggers...
Otherwise they make great pets.

She matches our horse Gage, short for Waps Engagement, appaloosa sport horse. This is him at a few months old. He was born 17" to the knee! He's a big boy now at 2 years old! He was my engagement gift to my wife. Proposed to her in a barn and said pic any foal you want honey. Gave her, her great grandmother's 50th Anniversary wedding ring just to have a real ring to slip on her finger. Luckily she was standing on a bale of hay. Matter of fact it will be a 2 years ago Monday.

A friend of mine is the president of the "Ferret rescue society " . They rescue ferrets abandoned by households who realise too late that a ferret is more than a dog with short legs or a funny looking cat . I like the fact that they are predators and make no bones about it .(O:K: they leave the occasional bone . ) L:O:L

I remember a silly movie with Jeff bridges in it where they threaten him by throwing a marmot in the bath with him . The marmot was a poor bewildered and bedraggled ferret .
