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.
-- wagster, Oct 25 2004


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.
-- po, Oct 25 2004


Is this for saving one in the fridge? Do cats go bad? Note: always remove foil before microwaving.
-- Worldgineer, Oct 25 2004


No offense intended, but this sounds like something a well-inibriated 'baker might pen. I'm with [wags].
-- absterge, Oct 25 2004


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...)
-- blissmiss, Oct 25 2004


is [skinflaps] alright d'y'a think?
-- neilp, Oct 26 2004


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.
-- Machiavelli, Oct 26 2004


WTFAYBOA?
-- 5th Earth, Oct 26 2004


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 [+].
-- DocBrown, Oct 26 2004


Perhaps someone should ask [skinflaps] if he remembers posting this?
-- david_scothern, Oct 26 2004


[skinflaps] do you remember posting this?

Weren't foil cat suits baked by 'Earth, wind and fire?'
-- etherman, Oct 26 2004


"Damn, foiled again. Only seven lives left."
-- FarmerJohn, Oct 27 2004


[skinflaps] do they come with reinforced tops to foil the tits as well?
-- ConsulFlaminicus, Oct 27 2004


I hear that foil cat suits are the new plaid.
-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Oct 27 2004


skinflaps is dead... long live freerunner ???
-- dentworth, Oct 27 2004


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.
-- david_scothern, Oct 27 2004


That has to be bakesperson supported I'd say.
-- wagster, Oct 30 2004


happy rebirthday, freerunner! (I didn't know what you were talking about before seeing this)
-- po, Oct 30 2004


[po] - if you know what he's talking about, could you please enlighten the rest of us?
-- wagster, Oct 31 2004


nope, sorry. I was talking about his new account.
-- po, Oct 31 2004


Is this for the paranoid cats? So that the government can't monitor their thoughts?
-- gabe, Nov 01 2004


Can I have an isomorphic one?
-- Detly, Nov 01 2004


How'd he do that? Mine could use a good shortening.
-- lintkeeper2, Nov 01 2004


you'd better start running now, mate.
-- po, Nov 02 2004


heh, ties laces and pulls starter motor cord.
-- skinflaps, Nov 02 2004


...and back to [skinflaps]. What on earth are you up to?
-- david_scothern, Dec 22 2004


Apologies david.

To answer your question, I havn't got a clue.
-- skinflaps, Dec 22 2004


No need to apologise, just curious as to the oscillating (vaccillating?) name...
-- david_scothern, Dec 22 2004


I'm still wondering what the idea is all about.
-- wagster, Dec 22 2004


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>

QED
-- stupop, Dec 22 2004


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.
-- wagster, Dec 22 2004


The plot thickens. I've also just noticed the category this is in.
-- stupop, Dec 22 2004


This isn't [benfrost] we're dealing with, it isn't necessarily about pussy.
-- wagster, Dec 22 2004


The suit ran dry of milk.
-- skinflaps, Mar 28 2006


This whole thing brings to mind 'Being There' with Peter Sellers
-- NotTheSharpestSpoon, Mar 28 2006


I vote we keep it. No reason really, I just kind of like it.
-- wagster, Mar 28 2006


Make a copy for your own archives and link to it from your profile page?
-- jutta, Mar 28 2006


Done. <firm handshake>
-- wagster, Mar 28 2006


What's done?

Sheesh, this is like putting something to sleep :(
-- skinflaps, Mar 28 2006


I think it would lose a lot in translation to something that made sense.
-- wagster, Mar 28 2006


Why not? Save the suit and anno's I say.

(apologies for confusion)

Amended.
-- skinflaps, Mar 28 2006


I liked the idea better in its original description. It gave me hope.
-- methinksnot, Mar 28 2006


//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.
-- zigness, Mar 29 2006


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.
-- po, Mar 29 2006


//Oh, [+] for having the guts to try to wrap a cat up in anything.// - Who said the suit was for a cat?
-- wagster, Mar 29 2006


It's a fine idea, I think, so I should bun it. Though I'm not entirely sure what I have read.
-- shapu, Mar 29 2006


Something to do with feline reflections, I suppose.
-- skinflaps, Mar 30 2006


okay thats cool! our cat bram would need one of them same whith our cat spock
-- crash, Mar 24 2007


Just noticed... fashion: pants: storage?
-- wagster, Mar 24 2007


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.

weaned?
