Things we do, when we're trying not to work

Because I have to take a couple of boxes of books with me to the gig tonight, just in case someone might actually want to buy one, therefore I unpacked the books from the box with all the puffed-corn packing in, and took all that cornpuff out to the compost bin. And stood there with a watering-can, solemnly watering, just to watch it froth and disintegrate. Good grief.

Of course, I discovered in the process that Barry has indeed scratched up a couple of these books past sellability, curse the claw-footed little monster that he is.

Barry autographs...

He was autographing them -

Perhaps you could pen a short Barry book complete with a title page with room for a paw print and pre-gnawed corners - then he could do book signings with you or you could e-Bay them and become fabulously cat wealthy...

Hey - our record collection is a little interesting due to a succession of cats who thought that sitting on top of them scratching was a good thing to do.

We have to try and keep them off the unread book collection too.

Cat Art? ::grins::

Darling, Barry didn't SCRATCH them; he AUTOGRAPHED them. They're worth even more now! ;)

I did in fact suggest to [livejournal.com profile] desperance that we add these special copies to his site's shopping mall. No answer yet though ...

That would be because - if you made this magic suggestion in an e-mail - I haven't received it. If you did it in the flesh - well, you know about the frailties of my flesh. Muscle-memory simply doesn't apply. I think it's a fab idea, though, and we should institute it immediately.
