Welcome back! We are nearing the weekend and your old pal Neyland D. Catt is here to help make the last leg of the journey more enjoyable. Or more surreal anyway! Today is the long anticipated return of the Cheerz and Jeerz. What sets this feature apart from others with similar names? The quality? The creativity? Nope. The "z's" at the end. Gives us mad street cred too. Makes it seem hip and cool to the youngsters. We are even considering changing it to "Tha Cheerz and Jeerz" because a "Tha" brings more street cred than one can realistically expect in one lifetime.* Anyway... on with the show!
CHEERZ - The Beatles are finally on iTunes
At long last the lads from Liverpool grace the internet music scene legally. I'm sure no Beatles fan has already found a way to have their music on an iPod. Right? The Fab Four are now digital and there is no going back. Now we can all go back to hoping there is some long lost "new" Beatles song that will be released unexpectedly.
JEERZ - Lady GaGa is still on iTunes
Geez. How long does 15 minutes last these days?
CHEERZ - New Harry Potter Movie!
At last a new Potter film is upon us and the end of the franchise is in sight. Ah, I remember when those crazy kids first appeared on our screens back in 1964. They took America by storm. No. Not the Beatles. The Potter kids. Geez. The dude that plays Harry just had a mid-life crisis while filming the last movie. Ron's walker had to be digitally removed from the footage. At least they won't have to worry about being type-cast when the series is over. They will be retired.
JEERZ - A New M. Night Shyamalan Movie!
In his latest effort to reduce the population of the world to drooling lunacy, M. Night brings us the story of a director who has one good film to launch his career and then spends the rest of his days flinging feces around like a monkey in a cage. Watch out! There will be a shocking twist at the end!
CHEERZ - Facebook offers e-mail!
Great! Now we can all be COMPLETELY connected through the Matrix... I mean Facebook... all the time! Plus, Facebook will now have way more information about you that can be accidentally accessed by Ham radio operators and any aliens who happen to pass too close to our planet.
JEERZ - The Great Facebook vs. Google War
It's the innocent victims I worry about in this upcoming conflict. Armies of digital information brokers meeting on a virtual battlefield are never a good thing. We can only hope that there will be a peaceful resolution. Maybe even an alliance. They could merge into one mega-service called GooglyFace. It wouldn't do anything, but would have a really cute logo with googly-eyes on a smily face and you would instantly be friends with everyone in the world. Except people who use Myspace. And M. Night Shyamalan.

See y'all tomorrow with something random from my brain!

* Neyland doesn't actually understand what street cred means. I'm not exactly sure what he thinks it is, but he probably thinks it has some bearing on his credit score.

Letters from the edge #4
Happy Tuesday kids! I hope you are all recovered after your festive Columbus Day parties. Still not sure why Columbus Ohio gets its own holiday, but at least it gives us all an opportunity to put up the Columbus Tree and party on! Neyland D. Catt back with you for another fan letter post. However, like all of M. Night Shyamalan's movies, there is a twist.* Today, I will let Anime answer the letters. Time to let the kid have her big shot. Besides, I want to be here when she falls flat on her face. Take it away Anime...
Letter #1
Dear Neyland,
A lot of us are very upset with the recent comments you made about Garfield the cat. Garfield is a cultural icon. He is a living legend who is adored by children and adults everywhere. Please do not refer to Mr. Garfield in such derogatory terms in the future, or you and I will be at odds with one another.

Hi Louie! Neylo and I were discussing Garfield just the other day and we came to a startling conclusion. Your letter has confirmed our hypothesis. Let's look at certain facts pertaining to the living legend... Garfield is fat. Garfield is callous and has little regard for others. Garfield loves Italian pasta dishes. Garfield somehow manages to convince others to do his bidding. The conclusion... Garfield is a Mafia Boss!!!
With that revelation in mind, I would like to sincerely apologize on behalf of Neyland for any offensive remarks toward Mr. Garfield. Please don't hurt us Mr. Big Louie. I don't want to "sleep with the fishes" (although initially I really, really did... then Neyland explained what it meant). We won't say anything else bad about Garfield. We will now return to making fun of Lady GaGa instead.
P.S. The abbreviation for Garfield Appreciation Society is G.A.S. HaHa! Must be all that lasagna!

Dear Funny Cat Guy,
Why don't you do funny jokes about dogs like some other cats do?

Hi Billy! The fact of the matter is that dogs and cats really aren't at odds like we are portrayed in the movies and on TV. We get along pretty well. It's the people we have a problem with. And armadillos. Don't ask. It's a long story. Anyways... there are plenty of dogs that I consider friends. Our neighbor dog, Daisy, is a real treat and hates armadillos too!** Apparently, there is some sort of agenda in the media to make cats and dogs enemies. Well! We are not marching to the beat of your drum Mr. Media Mogul!! We will behave according to the dictates of our own will!!! We will... sorry. I get a little carried away when I take a stand.
In short, Billy, we don't think jokes about dogs are funny just because they are about dogs. It has to be a good joke. Same goes with cat jokes. I, however, have never heard a bad armadillo joke.
Letter #3
Dear Neyland,
When are we going to see your animated short? Will any of the other cats be in it? Hurry up!!!
Heather (The Lady)
Hey Lady! Big Pinkie said to tell everyone that he has finished the script for the short. Who knows how long the rest of it will take!? Maybe by next Columbus Eve. Or before all the kids get out of school for their big Presidents Day vacation. Oh yeah! I will be in it! Tiger too! Plus there's at least one action packed fight scene!
Thanks to Neylo for letting me answer the letters this week. I promise not to take his job completely.

OK. I have to admit, the kid didn't do half bad. It was at least a quarter bad though. She's still got work ahead of her to be as good as yours truly. We'll be back tomorrow with another Halloween Tale To Terrify!! It will send you running to the litter box in fear!
Neyland D. Catt
*The "twist" to M. Night Shyamalan's last movie, The Last Airbender, was that even with a built-in audience of adoring kids and a hot licensed property, M. Night can still make a movie suck.
**Pay no attention to the armadillo talk. None of the cats (or Daisy) have ever seen an armadillo. There are no armadillos even remotely close to our neck of the woods. I'm not even sure they actually know what an armadillo is.
