Too many TMPers start what they think are IMPORTANT threads.
They drone on and on in the OP.
Then they get very upset that their meticulous instructions and guides are ignored.

It's quite amusing watching them try to get things back on track after 10 posts.
Face it. You lost control in your OP. You were too much of a windbag to be succinct. No use bitching and moaning that people will not follow your very clear directions.

What a rude and uncalled for post.

Ed Mohrmann Supporting Member of TMP27 Mar 2015 1:55 p.m. PST

Herding cats ? I use a laser pointer. Works a treat !

Korvessa27 Mar 2015 1:57 p.m. PST

I just saw an old Super Bowl commercial about herding cats

I had a cat once, his name was Mr. Mittens

Herding them is easier than trying to milk them.

Katzbalger27 Mar 2015 2:11 p.m. PST

But their milk tastes so good…or so I've heard.

Anyone want to see photos of my cats?

I do not care to see photos of TMPers.

"Lets go, back to the basement" works for me, well most of the time anyway.

I love irony.

I have a basket full here. I'm gonna start with my shirts then move on to the straight jacket.

Like this one…

Agreed.
Irony is intentional, which I doubt this is.
Hypocrisy is the correct word here.

skippy000127 Mar 2015 2:43 p.m. PST

Not IMPORTANT threads, more like GREAT EXPECTATION threads. Threads are easy to break down and lose control..like this one…

I just tack it up to normal Gamer Ego, sometimes appropriate, sometimes not.

RavenscraftCybernetics27 Mar 2015 3:02 p.m. PST

my cat had another surgury where they had to shave her butt.
We call her Frankenbut!
She doesnt like being called that.

GarrisonMiniatures27 Mar 2015 3:21 p.m. PST

Don't have a cat. No-one ever has a cat. Cats have humans. Except possibly for Bill's example.

Cyrus the Great27 Mar 2015 3:21 p.m. PST

I love self-analytical posts.

Sundance27 Mar 2015 3:24 p.m. PST

My cats follow me around. I don't have to herd them.

I like Newts and frogs. I don't dislike Cats from the go-get, but note they kill my newts and frogs, generally after prolonged Torture. Hence, the original post is ABSOLUTELY on the War-game hobby money, offering deep insight into the genesis of Conflict. Also, there was a picture of a cute Japanese girl, so everyone wins! I'm not, by the way, thinking of fixing my Oppressed Amphibian issue by anything so Modern as Herding.

Don't tell me what to do you big northern PA windbag.

My favorite cat is Bill the Cat.
I laugh every time I see him.

mad monkey 127 Mar 2015 3:46 p.m. PST

I prefer Fritz da Cat. He be cool.

Winston Smith27 Mar 2015 3:58 p.m. PST

CAN'T YOU PEOPLE FOLLOW SIMPLE DIRECTIONS?????

ubercommando27 Mar 2015 4:11 p.m. PST

No, because the OP was such a windbag

Herding cats? – don't you mean Hearing cats?

Pizzagrenadier27 Mar 2015 5:47 p.m. PST

Heard of cats? Of course I heard of cats.

TNE230027 Mar 2015 6:20 p.m. PST

Why is the cat bored?

TNE230027 Mar 2015 7:03 p.m. PST

"Why is the cat bored?"

to be blunt
he is in 'a rut'

who's got cats? Mrs. Katz….

goragrad27 Mar 2015 10:48 p.m. PST

Why is the cat bored?

Because he doesn't want to be punched…

Wargamer Blue28 Mar 2015 3:56 a.m. PST

Why does the OP hate cats? They are so furry wurry.

Hearding cats?
Just stand in front of them, rattle a box of cat kibble then RUN!

Katz' deli is about a mile north of me…

About 7 blocks south of the collapsed buildings.

Herd cats? please, I beg you. the cowboy commercial LIED!
send them to Gitmo,,keep 'em separated. careful when they congregate. watch your ankles and calves! I loved Bill the cat, Roscoe from the Baltimore Sun if any of you remember, and of course Bucky and his henchmen! stealing a quote from Sam Elliott in We were…."Garfield was a wus".

this was our fourth tour. prev. we took 'em in twos. then the sign went up. they have found us…and know we are here!

Mohrmann, local gamers…HELP! we took in innocent lil babies to prevent them from freezing! lil(italian swear word for illegimate offsprings) can now be compared to the best main force Viet Cong you ever encountered. and there are only 4 of them! we guess now around 14 weeks old. house is slowly being destroyed, it is not safe to eat, of our last two old veterans one tolerates, the other has had enough and disciplined them. local rescue groups have been less than useless.

herd hell, we need relief.

TMP, last transmission. kittens at the door, will not hold against onslaught. relief force beware.

Editor and fellow gamers. remember me.
