... in black :)

His name is Steve, as in Buscemi :) ... but no glasses ... yet.

... from "Fargo", the driveway-shoveling scene:

Mr. Mohra: Oh, he was a little guy... Kinda funny lookin'.
Officer Olson: Uh-huh. In what way?
Mr. Mohra: Oh, just in a general kinda way.

Surely, you are mistaken: your picture shows a cat (sort of, anyway). LaRetta uses a picture of Yoda.

Mr. Michael Comment ... I told you before I was a cat!  You said, "that's a cat?"!  And Andy (FMPug fame) made me glasses so I could see to read the tiny print in calculation dialogs because, even though my ears are incredible, my eyes are a bit weak!  :wink3:

Oh 2ninerniner2, your name is same inside-out, LOL!!  I really like that!  Thank you for showing your new addition!

Your new baby looks just exactly like me when I was a baby!  Ahhhhhh, brings out my parental side.  I confess that my picture (shown here) was taken many years ago and I'm not as youthful now as I appear there ... I believe the pic was when I was teenager (in those human years).

Congrats on the new baby ... Steve is truly adoreable!!!  Now don't you let kids tease him about his name.  Looks are not everything.  In fact, on my scale, they can't even enter my ball park.

A toast to Steve!  :beertime:

That's right: you said cat, I said Yoda. Now who you're going to believe?

Okay, I confess there is a similarity but my mamma swears she never knew the guy

You brought him up first!  Neither I nor my mamma even mentioned Yoda!  Now I suppose I'll get sued for calumny or something although the dude is probably in galaxies far, far away so...

I didn't bring your mama up, and I am not doing any "yo momma" material here - especially when legal action is being mentioned...

BTW, I didn't bring Yoda up either (up? how tall is that thing anyway?). I believe it was raised in a cave. Have you noticed that the Levenshtein distance between "cat" and "bat" is 1?

A grand idea! :wholeyard: ... and I turned on "Zoom" in Universal Access so that should hold off on the glasses for the time being.

I think Michael is delusional, 2ninerniner2, he has lived in the land of FileMaker calculations far too long because he is now saying Steve and I are in the same family as this hideous creature the bat, even suggesting by Levenshtein measure that we are same taxon rank or even same species.  YUK!

Just take another look at Steve's (or even my) eyes - they are blue are beautifully slanted and not round, black and beady.  Bats eat like a zillion pounds of insects an hour (each) and we don't (unless we are riding a motorcycle).   And we have refined, gentile noses not pig snout like it has.  BTW, Michael, you brought up Yoda first (see #2) so don't go throwin' smoke and mirrors to side-track now; the order of things is locked in print.
Maybe this is a REAL picture of YO mamma!  :exactly:

I just have to hit the high ones once in a while...

Why focus on petty differences, instead of celebrating that which unites you all?

Funny timing...
I was just reading an older post and found:

An error in one post does not a failure make.

Sounds a lot like Yoda to me ;)
