‘and then I found a sock in the hamper, and killed it, and tossed it around, and dunked it in your water, and put it next to all the other… I’m sorry, one second. Can I help you?’

A Bad Guide 
I can see him growing up to be the Godfather: “We’ve known each other many years, but this is the first time you ever came to me for counsel or for help…”
Aren’t they lovely.
MUUUUUUNNNNNNNNTZ!!!
Muntz the Magnificent! Wonderful photo and brilliant patter. Made my day. Thanks!
Oh, I just love seeing him up there. He may not wholly appreciate his admirers yet, but he will.
BTW, I had a cat who constantly killed dirty underwear. It was embarrassing to bring people home after work; we’d walk in and there would be a pile of my panties in the middle of the floor. I couldn’t figure out where she got them from, until one morning, feigning sleep, I saw her at work. She was standing on her hind legs, leaning against the wicker hamper. Then she grabbed the sides of the wicker top with her front paws, moved the top aside, slipped into the hamper and out with underwear in her mouth. Then she spent a lot of time killing the panties (shaking them, dropping them, pawing them, picking them up and shaking them some more) before trotting into the living room with them. I’ve had cats who can open doors by pulling or pushing them with their paws, but she was the only one to lift the top of something.
Did you talk about your panties?
Mab, just to put you into the picture, there was a heated discussion about that word at Language Hat nearly a year ago. Our current host didn’t seem too much inflamed by this word being used among strangers, or nearly so, but here’s what he said nonetheless to express some doubts he had about it:
“I wouldn’t use the word panties if I were you. Many people find it slightly creepy. I think the reason is that it was formerly a word used more in pornography than in a department store and although it is used there nowadays, that prior association lingers.” October 6, 2008 04:50 AM And that was very surprising to some people.
What about you? Do you find it a bit creepy too?
Probably not, since she used it herself. Anyway, I now think I must have been wrong about that. Please feel free to use the word panties (or indeed any other word) here as often as you like. Panties, panties, panties.
