A NTMTOM Afterschool Special

This week’s show, “Nip It In The Bud,” follows the cautionary tale of Wilbert Quivverbibble, straight-A seniorΒ at Millard Fillmore High School, editor of the student yearbook, volunteer at the local soup kitchen, and three-time champion of the tri-county “Math Massacre” in the Long Division Division. Introduced to catnip at a party by some college hipsters, Wilbert’s perfect life quickly unravels, and soon he can be seen breaking into the local pet store and rolling in its entire stock of catnip toys before being arrested. Don’t let this happen to YOU!




Clean-up on aisle two, Megan W.! More details from YouTube: “This cute cat entered the pet store by accident and had the time of his life rolling around in all the catnip toys!”

    Ah yes, afterschool specials…I loved ’em! I certainly hope that Wilbert entered rehab and got his life back on track! @Saffron: I see what you did there!?

    Whoops! I should have said Smartypants, not Saffron!?

    I learned it from watching you!

      When I hear that now I think of Cabin in the Woods.

    Wow!! Cosmic!!

    Now he needs to get to the aisle where they keep the munchies. I mean cat treats.

    • Amy January 20, 2016 / 3:12 pm

      You’d think they would put the cat treats right next to the nip…

    The more you know….

    Hopefully Wilbert turns his life around and seeks treatment after a stern lecture from special guest star Mr. T.

      ‘Pity the foo!’

    The Long Division Division?

    Love it.

      • Kar January 20, 2016 / 3:55 pm

        Huh. I’ve been here a couple of months and have been contributing.

        I guess posting from a different machine triggered a different icon.

          Oh, that’s right, you have! I’ve been greeting new users so often, I’ve turned into a robot!

          • Smartypants January 20, 2016 / 4:53 pm

            It’s a good problem to have! πŸ˜€

            A good problem to have, indeed! As I posted the other day, it’s nice to see familiar names from CO commenting here. Would to love to see 260Oakley show up here. It would be fantabulous to have him/her and NTMTOM on the same site again!

    That kitteh was not lost! He knew exactly where he was, and what he was going to do when he got there. Kittehs…just sooooo funny.

    • bossyterriers January 20, 2016 / 6:06 pm

      we were thinking the same thing! lol!

    • Faye January 20, 2016 / 7:15 pm

      Seriously, how long do you think it took him to come down?

  13. Mr. Max January 20, 2016 / 3:52 pm

    This reminds me of a bit on the news a few years ago about a felonious husky who would break out of his yard and go to the local WalMart (a mile + away), run in, grab a huge rawhide, and run out. His people had no idea he was doing this until surveillance footage ended up on the news and they recognized their dog! I think they went back to pay for the rawhides and got a bigger fence.

    • Faye January 20, 2016 / 4:41 pm

      You’re gonna need a bigger fence! Lol.

    • Kar January 21, 2016 / 1:24 am



      • Faye January 21, 2016 / 3:09 am

        Thank you Kar!

      • Mr. Max January 21, 2016 / 3:33 am

        Thanks so much for finding this! I’d misremembered a lot of the details, so it’s fun to re reacquainted with the naughty pups and her exploits!
