  1. I have a 13 year old male Toyger we got him when he was 6 weeks old. He is house trained and rings a bell when he wants out and has never gone in the house No litter box in the house.  We have all leather furniture he has never scratched any of it up. He sharpens his claws on and old motorcycle tire I have mounted in my man cave When I had my motorcycle accident in 2010 and broke both my hips and was trapped in a chair for 3 months he brought me a mouse, bird, rabbit or snake everyday so I would have something to eat. the wife really loved that LOL  He comes whenever he is called and listens better than most dogs  Right now he is sitting on the floor about 2 feet from me one of the best and smartest pets I have ever had. When the grandkids are over they can pull his tail and ears and carry him around and he loves it. Also when my wife goes for walks the cat will go with her and stay by her side for the whole walk And yes we spoil the hell out of him. There is a door bell button mounted about 8 inches off of the floor outside that he rings when he wants back in. He is also very territorial and a good fighter so we do not have a stray cat problem.

  2. The History of the Middle Finger:
    Well, now......here's something I never knew before, and now that I know it, I feel compelled to send it on to my more intelligent friends in the hope that they, too, will feel edified.

    Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as 'plucking the yew' (or 'pluck yew').

    Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and they began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, See, we can still pluck yew! Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodentalfricative 'F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute! It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as 'giving the bird.'

    And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing. Didn't yew!!
