Shrdlu our Office Cat is half-Persian, half-Alley, and half-Mountain Lion. That makes him a cat-and-a-half, which he is beyond question. He doesn’t like not having seasons – noticeable, that is, down here in the Valley. He’s like a young man who can’t make up his mind whether he wants to…
Shrdlu our Office Cat gets pretty caustic sometimes about the customers. That’s the reason very few of our customers ever actually see our cat. Sometimes he is downright rude. We kick him under the desk when a customer comes in. In one of his moody moments this week, he told…
It all started about a month ago when we found the tarantula trying to take over our office. We had to exterminate him. His execution, you will remember, was affected when Shrdlu the Office Cat dropped a paper weight on him. The next week, we were trying to get a…
That name… Ginny Drawe… generates a plethora of words, metaphors, and similes. Just ask any of the 892 kindergarten students who passed through her door. Each would offer similar stories, but then again, each would have a very personal story or stories to tell. Which zoo animal were you? Who…
The keeping of Shrdlu, of course, is another story. If there’s anything we don’t like, it’s a Smart Alec cat. But we learned different. That dog-gone cat is downright smart. The other day, for example, a big, black, fuzzy tarantula stalked out from behind one of the presses and chased…
Shrdlu our Office Cat had a hectic week-end. Every dog in the community happened by while he was resting up, snapped at him. Since the responsibility of getting the newspaper printed is Shrdlu’s, if your paper is late this week, you can blame it on the dogs. Shrdlu probably will…
Well, we had a good Christmas and we’re looking forward to a mighty fine New Year. We’re just that optimistic. Optimism is a good thing. Without it you get pessimistic, and pessimism is a bad thing. We had a fine but short vacation up in East Texas, in the Piney…
The corner has been overworked this week, and even our usually industrious office cat, Shrdlu, is about to fall in his tracks. We had difficulties with the weather, Shrdlu became a regular stoker of fires this week, seems that the weather had too much drip in it. In fact, the…
Our newspaper has carried so many stories about weddings and engagements that it has influenced our ordinarily shrewd office cat, Shrdlu. The other day, our feline friend and co-worker came strutting into the office and our eyes almost popped out of our heads. We thought we were seeing double. Our…
Every now and then we get a complaint about the high cost of commercial printing. Last week we turned the commercial printing department over to Shrdlu our Office Cat, since he is a shrewd animal and often has the answer for those who would complain. But this week, he washed…
