Style Inspiration: The Cat

For those if you who don't know what Red Dwarf was, you were evidently never a geeky kid in the early 90s. Which is a shame, because- as they say- The Geek Shall Inherit The Earth. Bagsy The Maldives. And I was well set on this path, bar the first bad influence in my Comic-Book-Guy-like catalogue of cult comedies who inspired my headlong dash into glorious vanity, vacuity and vampishness. Ladies and gents, may I present THE CAT:

Imagine this process with a normal person turning into me.

As you can tell from the picture, The Cat evolved from, well, a cat, over thousands of years on the ship Red Dwarf. What came out was something that looks like a regular human only... better dressed, more arrogant and a bit cooler. Damn straight: luckily for evolution, 'tinterweb created bloggers and bypassed the whole millions-of-years thing.

But anyway, talking is for geeks. Enjoy some quotations and pictures of the world best pet. Check out those outfits!

"Hey, this has been a really good day. I've eaten five times, I've slept six times, and I've made a lot of things mine. Tomorrow, I'm gonna see if I can't have sex with something."

"Cat: You'd never get a cat to be a servant. You ever see a cat return a stick? "Hey, man! You threw the stick, you go get it yourself! I'm busy! If you wanted the stick so bad, why'd you throw it away in the first place?"

"[Cat and Rimmer are playing Scrabble.]

Cat: Hey hey hey, I've got you now, buddy! J, O, Z, X, Y, Q, K!
Lister: That's not a word.
Cat: It's a Cat word.
Lister: Jozxyqk?
Cat: That's not how you pronounce it!
Lister: What does it mean?
Cat: It's the sound you make when you get your sexual organs trapped in something.
Lister: Is it in the dictionary?
Cat: Well it could be, if you're reading in the nude and close the book too quick. Jozxyqk!!!"

"You either got it or you ain't. Boys, you ain't even close."

Ok, I just mentioned this post topic to His Lordship, who was getting a can of Henkellman's Cure-All In A Can from the refrigerator. He asked me if I wanted some pickled Jalapenos out of the jar. He's northern you know, and has longish hair, and a bomber jacket. It forced me to double check whether much this early 90s sitcom warped my developing mind and look around for the guy with the H on his (smeg) head...

How crude! Mwahahaha.
