Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the second edition of Embarrassing Random, a very special and unique post, which lets us all share the love our good friend and goodtimer, Fog, has of furry little feline friends!

The quotes today come from the beloved character Bubbles, from Trailer Park Boys;

“They might be just cats to you Ricky, but to me they’re my fucking family!”

Ricky: “Bubbles give me the cat back.”  Bubbles: “Go fuck yourself. ”

“Mad MC skills, leave ya struck, and I roll with ma kitties, and I’m hard as fuck”

Kitties aren’t supposed to smell like cigarettes, they’re supposed to smell like kitties!”

Barb: “The cats have been licking these hot dogs?” Bubbles: “Yup, they’ve been licking the shit out of them!”

I know I’ve been seriously ignoring my Embracing Random responsibilities, and I apologize. I don’t even have a decent excuse, line up to the right if you’d like to publicly flog me, I deserve it. /shame (I’m always posting pictures on stiggy.ca if you enjoy random pictures, and lately I’ve been posting pictures of neat geeky things I’ve been making).

Now on to the quotes! I’ve gotten into the Lord of the Rings all over again, so these may seem familiar;

“Fly, you fools!” – Gandalf

“not idly do the leaves of lorien fall” – Aragorn

“I will take the Ring to Mordor! Though… I do not know the way. ” - Frodo

“The way is shut. It was made by those who are dead, and the dead keep it. The way is shut. ” – Legolas

“It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing. ” – Boromir

“I made a promise, Mr Frodo. A promise. “Don’t you leave him Samwise Gamgee.” And I don’t mean to. I don’t mean to. ” – Samwise

I’m going to stop there, I can stay here all day posting quotes.  Don’t you think its time you watched the trilogy again?  I thought so. I’ll leave you to it then, enjoy!

Lovecraft.
