Ummmmmm, Guy. I must be a little "thick in the head", Guy. I still don't get it. (Are you up to some mischief, maybe? It is April 1st here in the USA, and all kinds of little mischief makers are finding their ways into the air waves.) Is/was there really a group called "Collectables"? If so, it seems to be a pretty weird name, as is so non-descriptive. (Or was / is it intentionally non-descriptive?) What is/was that group all about anyway. There seems to have been a posting or two (in this chess group right here) in more than one thread about it. John, VT. (with perhaps not enough O2 to the brain today...)

Yes John I was a very active " Zombie member " of Collectables. The British movie company, Hammer made a film called " Plague of the Zombies " in the mid 1960's if I recall correctly. E bay has killed off approx one Dozen Zombies, but they are still very much alive !!! Some are here in this group, having returned from the " dead " to " Plague us with there presence " , whilst I have discovered "Life " again. ];)

Guy On the other hand, this particular youtube clip is so bad, it's nauseating. It almost deserves a knightly lamenting posting, but not quite. Lucky you. Advice to all... don't waste your time. But if you are bored silly, or just plain silly, then go for it! However, "to each his own"... and maybe "funny" is "in the eye of the beholder". Must be a cultural thing... 😮 :_| (Or are you, Guy, still drinking the wrong cherry cola?) ;-) Nameless.

[chesspurr]

Can you imagine.......... can you just think of how fearsome a " Hissed off Kitty " can be .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MF88IYF2MHY 😉

[knight_knight_zzz]

Wow, Guy! That's one hissy fit! (Almost seemed like someone was teasing / taunting that cat... but I will take the video recorder's explanation of it as the truth, I guess...) Now, are you sure that that particular kitty was not being pursued by its alter ego, the Monty-munching white wabbit? ;-) John.

[d-baron]

Were any of you able to see why the cat was acting the way it was? I didn't see or hear any explanation for it.

[chesspurr]

Mnmmm yes there must be a reason . Because Cat's Can. Because Cat could. Because Catz Crazy . Yet there is more ............. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWwA3wv04OM ]:)

Beware of John's Archives, perhaps we might see "Zombie " Chessmen come to life from the cellar, with cobwebs attached, and fresh opportunities for research are possible. ]:)

[chesspurr]

A new " research find " http://coolaggregator.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/zombie_cat.jpg rising from the " Dead " he rose from his " Bed " in search of a " Tiger chess set " !!! ]:)

[d-baron]

Well, at least it can't be said this forum has gone to the dogs. But it has gotten rather catty.

[knight_knight_zzz]

Doggonit, Duncan, don't get me started! Taking sides, again, eh, Baron? Ever play the game of "Red Rover" as a kid? "Red Rover, Red Rover, call Duncan right over..." Come back, Dog Duncan, (oh Man of red, white and yellow) to the side of "Truth, Justice, and the American Way"... Forum getting "catty"? Getting catty, you say? More like chatty in a cryptic sort of way. There are many ways to interpret things. As of the moment (not to be competitive or anything...) ;-) "Tales of the Crypt" (sure to die a semi-quick purrfect death) thread (including this message) 13 posts with 123 viewings. "Chat" thread: 967 posts with 9865 viewings (not including. I believe, the original "Chat" threads.) And take notice that it is not a cat thread, but a chat thread. Enough of this image of Cryptic Hippo Critical Purrfection! John, a dog lover in this dog-eat-dog world... with a nod to the Baron, a "leg up" on a cryptic thread, and a wink to the chesspurr.

So this is what we have to worry about ... be afraid .. very afraid ... http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w168/extra_life/Ugly_dog.jpg One does wonder if a " set of chessmen " made of this living & dead tissue would even exist in a well known " CCI museum " ]:)
