Acctually, I don't think it's been determined yet if Boots likes clam juice or prune juice either, for that matter. Maybe it's the clams who like the prune juice. Just what we need, a bunch of clams with diarrhea, which may explain why they are happy in high tide. It washes them clean.

You know, Sara, if you hadn't found that lousy clam juice in the store - and started this thread we wouldn't be in this mess.

Karen is probably rolling her eyes. Phred has disappeared - well, he is the SHADOW so I guess he can do that. People are out there buying prune juice for their cats when they should be getting them a beer!

I am just going to trout on out of here before I get into even more trouble.

Phred, who is green and wears a black cape and hat, is underneath the Shadow really Boots the Cat...who likes beer but not prune juice and HATES clam juice as well as creatures without feet except when they are tunaed into the radio on a beach in the South Seas which is a long way from Ohio.

What a kettle of fish this has become! And poor toughCookie is still swimming upstream -- who is this fishy Phred again???

ROTFL!!!

You guys are hilarious!! I'm in tears from laughing so hard. Poor "toughCookie" must be totally confused.
So here, toughCookie, just for you,
