Hump day! And the Albatross, having been Xeroxed for safety, will go back to Viking. I shall see it no more until the day it’s published. Meanwhile, in Dobrzyn, Hili and Cyrus have a chinwag, and Malgorzata explains:
I suspect that there is a need for explanation: somehow it happens that as soon as Andrzej and I go to the kitchen to eat, both animals appear immediately and each sits in front of his/her empty bowl. Of course, we cannot resist and it ends with all four of us eating together.
Cyrus: When was the last time we ate?
Hili: When they were hungry.
In Polish:
Cyrus: Kiedy myśmy ostatni raz jedli?
Hili: Jak oni byli głodni.
I’m starting to worry about their waistlines!
Chin wag or bum rub?!
Very sweet!
Cyrus’ tail is shadowed on Hili’s back, so close have they become!
Won’t be long before Hili condescends to allow Cyrus to curl around her and keep her back nice and warm.
There’s probably an aphorism in Polish about compromising one’s principles in favour of practicalities.
Is that Cyrus’ tail’s shadow, or his actual tail?
Not to be critical, but isn’t today Wednesday?
Indeed. Of course I wrote this about 4:30 a.m., so that’s my excuse. I’ve fixed it, thanks.
Strange bedfellows indeed. (Ceiling Cat forbid, they should ever admit that they’re secretly devoted to each other)! Anyway, the end justifies the means when warmth and comfort are needed…
“Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria!”
What is this verb “xerox”?
Xerox Corp. was not happy that *xerox* [I only learned today lower case is correct for the verb] was coming to mean photocopying – fearing it would limit their potential if the public associated their name with only a small part of the Xerox product portfolio. You could *google* or *bing* for more info 🙂
I guess I forgot the tongue=in-cheek emoticon. 😉
I knew you were being tongue in cheek, but I couldn’t find an emoticon to let you know 🙂
I was trying to construct a post that used as many brand name verbs as possible, but there aren’t many unforced examples as I supposed [in English anyway – perhaps other languages do it more?]

Skyped sounds marginally better than VCoIPed.
I’m gonna have to lycos that…
Video Conference over Internet Protocol telephony.
Awww, I love their sweet friendship!
The smart pets have trained their staff!
It looks like Hili and Cyrus have been joined in some kind of mad scientist butt-grafting experiment.
They don’t seem the worse for wear for it.
Ha ha! It does look like Cyrus’s tail merges with Hili’s stripe.
What happened to Cyrus’s tail anyhow? Is that just how he is?
There’s spooning and now there’s this. Wish I had a word for it. So endearing, the photo.
abutting?
LOL!
Maybe :). They remind me of sausage links. “KNEXing” doesn’t quite work either. Maybe Leggoing?
… or maybe Hilinking..
We have a saying at work – normally applied to cementers, but occasionally applied to directional drillers, geologists and other sorts of low life, that after years of specialist training, we can sleep until we’re tired, then eat until we’re hungry.
Only the best of friends can share a comfy bed so sweetly.
