Mice don't die if the cat stays high!
It's been some time since I've resorted to such juvenile antics, but I think it's still my traditional (?) prerogative to celebrate Friday as Online Testing Day at Classical Values. I'll start with a test of my political persuasion:
This isn't the first time I've taken a test which says I'm a libertarian, but I got a pretty picture and it was fun. Not only that, my result is the same as Persnickety at Ordinary Galoot, one of the few remaining sources who can be counted on to supply these endangered tests.
Testing one's politics might not interest everyone, though. If you prefer more spice in your life, well, here's a test called "What herb are you?" I'm a well known, mood-altering spice (which would probably be regulated by the government if cats ran things):
(Also via Persnickety, who was Moly.)
But Catnip? Such a result cries out for a some sort of immediate cat test, and I found one:
I guess if I'm simultaneously catnip as well as a Siamese cat, then I can eat myself and get high doing it. (Something I believe is still legal.) Mee-yow! Hey, wait a second. Is this supposed to be Friday Online Test Day or Friday catblogging? Either way, I'd say it's a Thai. UPDATE: I should probably add that in my state (Pennsylvania), cats are obviously very intelligent; one received an MBA degree! (Via the dave.) posted by Eric on 12.10.04 at 09:58 AM

Caligula si viveret, ad remum dareris. :) Eric Scheie · December 10, 2004 11:33 AM Euge! bink · December 10, 2004 12:22 PM Timor mortis, old chap. J. Case · December 10, 2004 12:26 PM HAIL TO THE ROMAN EMPIRE!!!! Persian cat, Rosemary, "Don't Tread On Me" Libertarian. Steven Malcolm Anderson (Cato theElder) the Lesbian-worshipping man's-man-admiring myth-based egoist · December 10, 2004 01:52 PM Personally, I don't like the current breed type for Siamese; I'm more fond of the older version that isn't quite so angular. Think Abyssinian. In fact, they're having to change the breed type for Siamese because the narrow skulls are squeezing the kitty brains! (While they can't mess around with the physicality of cats the same way they can with dogs - it has to do with how puppy body type varies greatly from adult dog type, while kitten is generally cat - they can still do a lot, witness Sphinx or Munchkin breeds.) B. Durbin · December 10, 2004 04:24 PM In fact, they're having to change the breed type for Siamese because the narrow skulls are squeezing the kitty brains! Poor cats. bink · December 10, 2004 05:26 PM Well, at least that explains these headaches. Eric Scheie · December 10, 2004 05:36 PM Problem with the political tests is I'm always arguing with the way the questions are framed. I mean, the first one was about sex between consenting adults, and I would answer BOTH because the two answer seem, to me, to be in different realms..the legal and the social (it should be legal and people should feel free to pass judgment). Be that as it may ... my test results were Siamese Cat, Basil and Capitalist Republican. Darleen · December 10, 2004 09:03 PM Darleen: I have that problem, too. I always argue with the way questions are framed, though this time I didn't. You make an excellent distinction between the legal and the social, cultural, or moral, between the political and the spiritual realms, one that I have been thinking about a great deal. E.g., I believe that prostitution should be legal but I still evaluate it as immoral on the grounds that sex should be for love rather than for money. Theologically, I oppose certain religious doctrines while, Constitutionally, I will still defend the right to preach those doctrines. There are many other such things. It's a basic distinction that many people fail to grasp. Steven Malcolm Anderson (Cato theElder) the Lesbian-worshipping man's-man-admiring myth-based egoist · December 11, 2004 03:45 AM Hrrm: I "Are a 'Don't Tread On Me' Libertarian" and I'm a "Random Cat" also. I can live with that. Ironbear · December 14, 2004 12:44 PM |

In regards to the comment below, comparing George Bush to Caligula might not expose a lot of similarities, but it is a delightful way to gain insight into his character. Oderint tum metuant.
