The Oceanside Animals
And their imaginary friends
Overheard Around The Conference Room
Dennis: “All right, I’d like to call this meeting to order so we can discuss the new additions to the … Umm, would you two please stop cuddling and take your seats?”
Mr. Nibbles: “I think it’s cute how they’re always snuggled up.”
Vermin: “HISSS! Such constant public displays of affection are unbecoming to a cat! And I should know since I am a cat myself!”
Mouse: “You are not a cat!”
Producer Smurf: “That’ll never happen, Dennis! You’d have better luck smurfing Vanity away from his mirror or Greedy away from his pies!”
Spicoli: “Dude, you have access to pies and you haven’t shared? Not cool!”
Dennis: “Well, okay, I guess I can let the cuddling thing go so we can get down to business. First of all, I would like some assurances that you kittens are not aliens like in the famous documentary ‘The Cat from Outer Space’.”
Chaplin: “We’re not from outer space.”
Charlee: “We’re from the animal shelter.”
Vermin: “HISSS! Nasty mouse! I am too a cat! Cats hiss and climb trees. I hiss and climb trees. Therefore, I am a cat. QED.”
Mouse: “Uh-huh. You know what else hisses and climbs trees? An opossum!”
Producer Smurf: “No, I do not have access to pies. Baker smurfs the pies and Greedy steals the pies. Sometimes I get to smell the pies but that’s it.”
Mr. Nibbles: “That’s so sad, Mr. Smurf! We need to get you some pie.”
Dennis: “Hey, I’m from the animal shelter too! Next I would like some assurances that you won’t turn into either giant panthers or Nastassja Kinski like in the famous documentary ‘Cat People’.”
Spicoli: “Dude, let’s not be so hasty on that ‘no Nastassja Kinski’ rule.”
Chaplin: “Ooh! Panthers! Rawr!”
Charlee: “We’re just cats. Not were-cats.”
Vermin: “HISSS! What means this word ‘opossum’? I have not ever heard it before. Is it some sort of animal?”
Mouse: “Indeed it is an animal. It’s grey and white and it has a pouch just like yours.”
Producer Smurf: “I could smurf a pie if I really wanted one. I’m smarter than stupid Greedy and Baker. I just smurf not to get involved in village shenanigans.”
Mr. Nibbles: “I was thinking more along the lines of buying a pie, not stealing one …”
Dennis: “I’ll accept Charlee’s assurance that you are not were-cats, but Chaplin’s enthusiasm for panthers worries me a little. Finally, I’d like some assurances that you kittens aren’t getting followed by bad luck like in the famous documentary ‘Cat’s Eye’.”
Spicoli: “Dude, some day you have to learn the difference between ‘documentary’ and ‘movie’.”
Chaplin: “I don’t think we have bad luck.”
Charlee: “If we did we probably wouldn’t have ended up here.”
Vermin: “HISSS! This ‘pouch’ as you call it is the result of a rare genetic disorder called feline marsupialism. So don’t be hating.”
Mouse: “You are such a liar! There’s no such thing as ‘feline marsupialism’!”
Producer Smurf: “Buying? As in with money? Ha ha ha ha ha ha! I’m a smurf! Smurfs don’t buy things! We make what we need, or we gather it from the forest.”
Producer Smurf: “Well each of us smurfs only smurfs how to do one thing, and that’s what I do. And in case you didn’t notice there’s no forest around here.”
Mr. Nibbles: “I see. Perhaps you should consider moving back to the smurf village in the forest, then.”
Producer Smurf: “I can’t. Papa Smurf is still mad about the expose I smurfed about his fake beard.”
Vermin: “HISSS! Haters gonna hate.”
Mouse: “I am not hating! You’re just not a cat!”
Dennis: “Thank you for answering my questions, Charlee and Chaplin. I would now like to ask everyone to leave the conference room except for the cats.”
Soon …
Vermin: “HISS! So what are we talking about?”
Dennis: “Get out.”
Momentarily …
Vermin: “HISSS! Not fair! I want to hear the secret discussion too!”
Mouse: “Ooooh, tough break, Vermin ‘cat’.”
But then …
Charlee: “Dennis! Ewwwwww!”
Chaplin: “There’s no such thing as a recipe for cat box crunchies, Dennis!”
Spicoli: “Not even I get the munchies that badly …”
Vermin: “Then again, maybe I don’t …”
Papa Smurf: “My beard is not fake.”
Producer Smurf: “Riiiiight.”

These meetings in a conference room are great, just like we humans having a meeting, everybody is talking about different ideas.

Pie would taste pretty good right about now, D. I can steal it, beg for it, or …..um…. That’s about it, actually.
