More uses for a dead cat

After Bart Jansen's cat Orville was killed by a car, the artist had the animal taxidermied and then, "after a period of mourning," converted the stuffed kitty into a radio-controlled quadcopter.

That's just plain, fucking awesome.  The expression on the cat's face is absolutely perfect. 
Argument, the presentation of reasonable views, never makes headway against conviction, and conviction takes no part in argument because it knows.

Always a good time to quote Kevin Gilbert.

Yeah, smacks of faux outrageousness, use a live cat instead.

I haven't laughed that much in quite a while.

Can somebody please do that with me when I'm dead?

Sure. Do you want the classic Superman flight pose, or the "bird-man about to poop on your car" squat pose?

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Hmmmm... the latter sounds interesting. Do you have an exemplary photo sample? If not, I'll go with the Superman pose, though I think it would be greatly aided by a facial expression of constipation.

Saw this awhile back, and dead or not, that's the most awesome use of a cat ever.

I find it pretty funny that a picture of a dead cat with a 'get well soon' balloon offended more people than helikitty. 

That being said, helikitty is amazing.

"Felis necrotis" is not a real word.

Just think if they could've gotten a paintball gun down its throat? Imagine a flying felis necrotis spitting paintballs at you.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
