2. We never should have let that thread die.

All people and institutions should be judged by their best works; if the Oscar thread was what they judged DU by, I'd be proud.

3. "I did once ask Oscar what he thought of Bush....."

"He twitched, stared thoughtfully off into the lonely distance where
the lights of the cars wound through the darkened foothills, and vomited over the balustrade."

Oscar was smart.

5. Oscar lives in my guest house now. His fleeting brush with fame

was too much for him to handle and he just sits in the rocking chair next to the pond all day.

8. Wasn't it?

I remember coming home from work everyday for a week or two and finding more posts there that made me laugh.

A-Scwarzenegger, wherever you are, I lift my glass of Joe Weider's Protein Blast to you. Salud!

10. Duuuude!

I had totally forgotten about Oscar! Those were the times!

[RandomKoolzip]

11. That thread was one of the reasons I fell in love with DU.

Good times.....

[A-Schwarzenegger]

12. Smooch!

[RandomKoolzip]

13. So...whatever happened to Oscar?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

15. He's pregnant.

Don't ask, although I imagine somebody will. He had
put on considerable bulk lately, but I thought it
was simply winter fur, which he gets to such an extent
that it is hard to tell what direction he is going in,
backward or forward or sideways. However he about doubled his
weight to 80 or 90 pounds, so me and my sister had to
bribe him with a sack of cured lutefisk blintzes
to go to the vet and had a sonargram taken
and discovered the perplexing truth. He usually remains
quite suave in the most harrowing of unexpected circumstances,
but under the sonargram he apparently believed we meant him
or what is inside him harm and he freaked and began to spin,
so we were able only to confirm the presence of an unknown
number of some kind of unknown offspring. Beyond that, at this
point, no one can say. Back from the vet, he's resting in
the corner, although standing, and watching me with eyes
that seem to say, Things are going to be changing around here
in a big way very soon, Fellow.
