I still don't get the McCoy/Marilyn comment... ;___

Mike Monroe & Andy McCoy were the original members of Hanoi Rocks, a Finnish band that was very famous in the 80s in the USA, Japan and UK - and in Finland too, of course. Their style was glam rock and they've said to have influence in several bands, like Guns N' Roses. If you want to know more, Wikipedia is your friend.

Anyways, Mike Monroe's hair is somewhat like this. And the guy left to him is actually Andy McCoy. Because they were/are very popular in Asia and I needed a band T-shirt for Iruka, they came to my mind. XD

And yes, Kakashi really needs to gather all his money, since Kabuto's not going to back down so easily. He's a real creep. Hopefully someone will do that to him. Punch him, I mean. *grins*

LOL, that was one serious pillow fight. XD And thanks for pointing out those grammar mistakes! *fixes them*

I have to say this and I'm sure you feel the same... But those guys look haggard. oO;;;; Hopefully Kabuto will look just as haggard after Kakashi is finished with him. XD

That's what you get from years of drug use, alcohol, cigarettes etc. Although Mike Monroe is clean nowdays and he's some sort of a charity worker with cats.

I don't know if you have any word to describe this kind of type, but in Finland we have this phenomena called "a summer cat", if I translate it directly. It basically means when people from towns go countryside for summer, they take cats or kittens, look after them only those two or three months and then abandon them when they return back to city. Mike Monroe fights against this "tradition". At least he did when I last time heard about it.

Andy McCoy, though... Well, he's quite an alcoholic, who relapses every now and then. ;P

What a strange tradition... It's not good for the cats and probably causes a lot of feral cats.. ^^;;; How did it start?

[senna_chan]

It's not really a tradition, just a... stupid way of thinking: "oh hey, let's take this cute little kitten for our summer cottage" -> At the end of the holiday. "Boo, we can't take it back, let's leave it here. It will survive, it's a cat." Psht, yeah right. It's not like the winters in here can freeze them to death. >_<

It's not as bad as it used to be. People have come aware how bad it is for the animals - both cats and wild ones - yet still some do it. I can't really say how it started but my guess is it's because of people wanting an easy pet for summer when it's warm and nice.

That's a lot like people buying puppies for their children for Christmas and rabbits for Easter and then taking it to the shelter a week later, lol. Oh people... Think about the animals please!
