WAR Kittens!?!?!?!
I keep cracking up at the Capital One commercial that makes reference to "WAR kittens!?!"
It's not the commercial, it's the way the guy says "WAR kittens!?!"
These are what I think of as 'War Kittens':
There ARE, of course, the facist Laibach kittens, too:

But hearing Robert Plant's voice roaring out of a kitten works for me.
Funnily enough, while I find many reasons to be impatient with my friend Kelly for her total self-absorbtion, her inconsiderate nature when it comes to EVER being on time, and the way she'll blow all plans out of the water...I found myself feeling some warmth with her the other night.
She was rattling on about a lot of things and eventually got around to what she considers MY "elephant in the corner": Led Zeppelin, despite Robert's nasty-arsed nature and the perpetual bickering, are threatening to tour after their expensive and successful 'reunion' a couple of months ago in Britain. Since the last time I consciously paid for a concert ticket was in 1977, I said there was no way I'd pay $250 a seat to see what could VERY likely be a rotten performance, because Jimmy Page is always either totally brilliant or has compleat fail. There is no middle ground. And you cannot count on his performance to be good.
The girl sat straight up and TOLD ME she was dragging me to see them, "...even if I have to pay some outrageous price for your seat! There is NO WAY they are touring without you, Grey!!!"
I know that sounds pretty silly to most of you...it IS kind of funny. I'm infamous for having growled in Jimmy's face and having stormed out on him, swearing like a sailor and making sure everyone heard me say "...a compleat and utter waste of BREATH when he's drugged so far out of his fucking mind that he can barely stand up!!"
Normally I don't have a thing to do with drama. There is ALWAYS drama between Jimmy and me.
Anyway, it warmed the cockles of my little heart to hear her say that, although I can guarantee you, I DO NOT want to see old men playing Led Zeppelin songs...even if the old men ARE Led Zeppelin. It's just WRONG. Worse, I don't want to sit in a crowd of 50 and 60 year old Led Zeppelin fans. That's...creepy.
I'll enjoy my War Kittens and pretend Robert's still 24 and they're roaring overhead on the Tour to End All Tours. Mudsharks and all.
