These may be everywhere and I'm just stupid, but I was at a Chinese retaraunt today and there was a cat on the counter that was the EXACT same cat as the one on SMYT

It wasn't too bad. I got tofu and bean curd. The tofu was really soft which is nasty but other than that it was good. Oh and just in case anyone's confused, it wasn't a real cat, it was plaster or something.

Yeah theyre waving cats or something...cant remember what it is exactly what theyre supposed to signify, think it was something to do with gambling or something to do with money, or was it good luck...hehe, clutching at straws here! I remember someone told me, but cant remember what. Even more useless info!

south american indians would punish members of the tribe for thier wrong doings by politly shunting a datura flower [eight inch long trumpet] up the bum hole which would result in the wrong doer triping off his F#@king scone for three weeks. useless i know, but interesting.

i've been to San Francisco recently, and in all those China-Town shops one can buy these little cats. I didn't, because i find it really ugly...i like SMYT very much, but the cover-art - as all post-COR-covers - really puts me off..

This is useless, but I bought SMYT about 20 minutes before I got on a plane to China and spent the entire 18 hours listening to it. Ironic that the goodluck cat was on the front? Who knows...

I've been noticing those cats everywhere since the album came out. I'm sure they were around before that but I was oblivious to them.
