I've been biking around town a lot and finding weird neighborhoods I'd never been in before. Whenever I end up trapped in some subdivision I hear Run's voice from sucker mcs in my head saying 'take that move back it's a cul-de-sac'

I've been thinking about starting a thread similar to this which is just 'songs you sing to your cat', as every time I feed my boy shrimp & plaice wet food I sing him "I'm gonna feed you shrimp and plaice, gonna stuff it in your face" or similar (usually Prodigy version rather than Max Romeo tbh). Also lots of songs modified to be about his fluff.
― emil.y, Friday, 4 September 2020 15:56 (three years ago) link
Phone/keys, it is you I'm looking for...
For the cat, it's 'I'm going to feed you Norman, I'm going to feed you, yes I am!' He looks at me like I'm a dick, of course,

I'm pretty sure I've sung "let me see that fluff, Albyyyy, that fluff fluff-fluff fluff-fluff" at my cat.
