A suit necessary for containing milk bottles.
Shielding twice feral escutcheon.
28/3/06
In essence a ventilated, layered, safety suit with two shields bearing the insignia of a fierce feline strapped to either side.The suit is complimented with a series of protruding rubber tipped thimble
nipples attached to a run of internal milk bottles.
Feral cats may approach the suit (with catmaid inside)thus proceeding to quench their thirst and feed.

[skinflaps] - this is not one of your better articulated ideas. I went to the link in the hope that all would be explained and now I'm more confused than I was before. |
|
| |
I thought this was a foil catsuit for...cats. they would love the feel, crinklyness of foil. then I thought it was a cat-proof milk bottle cover and then I thought...I need a lie down. |
|
| |
Is this for saving one in the fridge? Do cats go bad? Note: always remove foil before microwaving. |
|
| |
No offense intended, but this sounds like something a well-inibriated 'baker might pen. I'm with [wags]. |
|
| |
Skin drink? Surely you must be joking. Why he's as sober as a pastor on a Sunday morning...(Just realized that sounds like, "skin drink", and can only hope benfrost doesn't get any wierdo ideas...) |
|
| |
is [skinflaps] alright d'y'a think? |
|
| |
At first I was wondering what the hell [skinflaps] was talking about. Then I read [bliss]'s "skin drink" and now I'm imaging all sorts of interesting things. |
|
| |
Oh, and about pastors being sober on Sunday mornings--that's an urban legend. |
|
| |
I think it's a dual-layered milk bottle "suit", made from aluminium foil, with a heraldic feral cat on the front. As such, I like [+]. |
|
| |
Perhaps someone should ask [skinflaps] if he remembers posting this? |
|
| |
[skinflaps] do you remember posting this? |
|
| |
Weren't foil cat suits baked by 'Earth, wind and fire?' |
|
| |
"Damn, foiled again. Only seven lives left." |
|
| |
[skinflaps] do they come with reinforced tops to foil the tits as well? |
|
| |
I hear that foil cat suits are the new plaid. |
|
| |
skinflaps is dead... long live freerunner ??? |
|
| |
You're right... how the heck did he do that? |
|
| |
I'd love to know what [freerunner] has to say about it, I must admit. |
|
| |
That has to be bakesperson supported I'd say. |
|
| |
happy rebirthday, freerunner! (I didn't know what you were talking about before seeing this) |
|
| |
[po] - if you know what he's talking about, could you please enlighten the rest of us? |
|
| |
nope, sorry. I was talking about his new account. |
|
| |
Is this for the paranoid cats? So that the government can't monitor their thoughts? |
|
| |
Can I have an isomorphic one? |
|
| |
How'd he do that? Mine could use a good shortening. |
|
| |
you'd better start running now, mate. |
|
| |
heh, ties laces and pulls starter motor cord. |
|
| |
...and back to [skinflaps]. What on earth are you up to? |
|
| |
To answer your question, I havn't got a clue. |
|
| |
No need to apologise, just curious as to the oscillating (vaccillating?) name... |
|
| |
I'm still wondering what the idea is all about. |
|
| |
I believe this is, as [po] & [DocBrown] point out, a protective suit for milk bottles to stop the cats getting at them.
The confusion comes, I guess, from the last line in combination with the link.
My diagnosis is that [Skinflaps] is playing around with the meaning of the word 'escutcheon' which can mean both |
|
| |
1. [n] a shield; especially one displaying a coat of arms |
|
| |
2. [n] a flat protective covering (on a door or wall etc) to prevent soiling by dirty fingers. |
|
| |
the dirty fingers in this case being those of a cat. |
|
| |
<turns triumphantly to the jury> |
|
| |
Nice sleuthing [stupop]! The jury may now retire to reach their verdict of whether [skinflaps] was a) completely trousered when he wrote this, or b) being far smarter than we gave him credit for, or c) both. |
|
| |
The plot thickens. I've also just noticed the category this is in. |
|
| |
This isn't [benfrost] we're dealing with, it isn't necessarily about pussy. |
|
| |
The suit ran dry of milk. |
|
| |
This whole thing brings to mind 'Being There' with Peter Sellers |
|
| |
I vote we keep it. No reason really, I just kind of like it. |
|
| |
Make a copy for your own archives and link to it from your profile page? |
|
| |
Sheesh, this is like putting something to sleep :( |
|
| |
I think it would lose a lot in translation to something that made sense. |
|
| |
Why not? Save the suit and anno's I say. |
|
| |
(apologies for confusion) |
|
| |
I liked the idea better in its original description. It gave me hope. |
|
| |
//they would love the feel, crinklyness of foil//... Actually, [po], I don't think that they would. One of best ways to keep cats off of a counter is to spread foil on it. They hate that for some reason. |
|
| |
Oh, [+] for having the guts to try to wrap a cat up in anything. |
|
| |
I bought a very expensive crinkly play tunnel for my cats and actually, zigness you probably have a point, I don't think either of them have been within ten feet of it... |
|
| |
funny, though - they do all love newspaper. |
|
| |
//Oh, [+] for having the guts to try to wrap a cat up in anything.// - Who said the suit was for a cat? |
|
| |
It's a fine idea, I think, so I should bun it. Though I'm not entirely sure what I have read. |
|
| |
Something to do with feline reflections, I suppose. |
|
| |
okay thats cool! our cat bram would need one of them same whith our cat spock |
|
| |
Just noticed... fashion: pants: storage? |
|
| |
On further examination, I think it's some sort of armored suit, filled with milk, and featuring nipples, which the wearer can then use to suckle cats. |
|
| |
I'm not sure how I feel about that. |
