OK, Ok, or Okay?

That's usually the battle I pick, even if my weapons are kittens.

Yep.

In that case - I challenge you to Calico's at twenty paces ...

I am not new to kitten battles.

Face the cuteness of my Abyssinians.

Tremble before the mighty power of the Himmalyan

Now that's just ugly and sad, you should be ashamed. Ashamed, I say!

 

[Darkniciad]

Hate to say it RL, but I do believe Recidiva has you so far with that litter *laugh*

 

[RogueLurker]

Bah .... there is no such thing as an ugly kitten. (Except for Sphinx and Devon Rex kittens - they are just damned scary looking).

I will send in my reserves to lull you into a sense of "ah .. cute" before I unleash the full force of kittendom.

Kitty Porn!

More shame heaped upon your house!

And you ... don't make me puppy-slap you.

You are a twisted woman, Recidiva ...

My house is an honourable one - one that blocks any calls to 976-MEOW.

Yes, yes I am.

 

[RogueLurker]

Yes, yes I am.

and that's a good thing.

On that note, I am making a tactical retreat to take the dogs for a walk.

I will return, Dark Reci, scourge of the Chicago Style Guide. I will return to rain down more fluffy, cuddly kittens upon you until you are smothered with cuteness and forced to admit defeat with a muffled "mmm-ok".

I look forward to meeting you in battle, I shall prepare with fasting and watching Animal Planet to build my stamina.

Until that day...give the dogs hugs from me.

I missed the kitten war! Dang it.

OK - just back from breakfast with the family - I counter with one of our cats.

He's 17, a retired farm cat, he's a serious animal. Thinks we're married.

This is Jonesey.

 

[LadyCibelle]

Then ask Lady C who fixed some of her unpublished work, and then come to a REAL Nazi for a treat.

Yup......LadyC is good for everybody else but when comes to time to do her own editing she's a complete zero.

It is always advisable to fast while watching Animal Planet's Animal Cops or Pound Patrol.

As our newest dog is still a bit aloof when it comes to hugs - I gave her a rough neck scratch and brisk butt rub from you and she was very grateful. Our original dog was very receptive to the hugs.

sweetsubsarahh ... definitely a handsome devil there - and he looks like he's a determined fella as well. Our newest addition is the one in my AV - she's a rescue dog, spent the last four years of her life in a no-kill shelter but she's adapting pretty well, all things considered. She's a handful though - training an adult dog is a heck of a lot different than training a puppy and she's got 70 pounds to pushback with if she decides to act out.

and two last parting images for recidiva ...

(Isn't it annoying now that I've figure out how to post pics?)

It's an interesting word, the style guide for the site I work for specifies "okay" rather than "OK," but web style is a little different from print. Chicago doesn't specifically address it, but AP has OK, OKed, OKs, etc.

Way back in college, my linguistics prof went off on a tangent one day about the origins of "OK." He claimed that it came from the 1830s, begun by the tendency of newspapers to drop bizarre acronyms into their copy, such as KY for "know yuse" (a phonetical variant on "no use") or ISBD ("it shall be done").

Come to think of it, that's not so different from our Internet memes of today, like ROFL or YTMD.

"OK" meant "orl korrect," some bizarre interpretation of "all correct," and it's supposedly the earliest published appearance of "OK." At the same time, Van Buren's supporters started the OK Club, perhaps based on "Old Kinderhooks," and the word entered the cultural lexicon.

Turns out, there are many other theories about the origins of "OK," ranging from Choctaws to ship builders. Interesting read, if you're into etymology.

My husband also mentioned it's an abbreviation for Oklahoma.

 

[CopyCarver]

and for hard-core trivia buffs, there's yet another set of theories at:

Personally, I cast my vote for "optical kleptomaniac" if only because it's such a widely used phrase that it needs an abbreviation

 

[snooper]

Cat wars eh?

NO - you may NOT go out shopping.

 

[Recidiva]

NO - you may NOT go out shopping.

Awwww...

This thread is turning unbearably cruel ...

No.

THIS is cruel.

 

[Recidiva]

No.

THIS is cruel.

AHAHAHA...

Oh, that's fucked up.

"Unbearably" for me is sorta negotiable.
