The day started with a weird e-mail titled “les chats” from my very harsh mother at 8 a.m. telling me basically to have Olliver D. put to sleep first thing today without my roommate’s knowledge. Apparently she read in the Figaro (who reads le Figaro ?) that cats play an important role in the transmission of the H5N1 virus to humans and through some weird processing of information in her confused brain she decided to suggest euthanasia. I begged to mildly differ to that interesting and creative proposal on the grounds that it assumes that Olliver has a social life outside of our home in which he could run into the virus while he clearly does not. Moreover, I think this could have a negative effect on my cohabitation with Kevin D. who happened to have cooked the perfect curry for my guests last night for which I got all the credit (naïve Alex A even wrote: “Great reception. Afterall you did have all the necessary to elegantly cater for you guests. And, you do have good foot in the kitchen…”…they are all so easy to dupe….*maniac laugh*…picture on your left – am I the only one to note that I have Hitler’s hairline these days ?) and is also a bit shaken now that he heard that his “friend” checked out Fagat’s profile on friendster (after which Fagat called him a “handsome lad”). I don’t know how they do it in France but I even think having other people’s pets killed is a crime here moreover when your only justification is that he could be a vector for a disease which does not really exist. Thirdly, if I had to put an end to his miserable overweight existence spent eating and purging my earplugs in that squalid dilapidated bathroom of ours, it would definitely not be because of H5N1 and definitely not before we make sure to get our pet deposit refunded. I would also organize his natural death and certainly not pay a veterinarian for that (a waste of my money when I can easily strangle him with my bare hands). Perhaps we could get a cute new kitten….a slim one.
I'm logged into Friendster as Fagat, and I just looked at his profile back. And I looked at Kevin's. So now everything is equal.

We ultimately regret giving LL that power.
