Back on AppleInsider a long time ago we had a thread about cats and watermelons and Steve Jobs. To commemorate that silliness I fused all the stuff into one signature "Steve Jobs ate my cat's watermelon". CoolToddHunter IM'd me asking about the quote. Turns out that the original was from a movie:

Quote:

Ah. I think the original sig was a reference to the movie Rubin & Ed, in which Rubin (repeatedly) states, "My cat can eat a whole watermelon." Funny how stuff like that warps on the internet...

Anybody else remember that thread?

alcimedes · 2005-07-01, 10:55

yes. it was very odd. i liked it.

Ebby · 2005-07-01, 11:52

I remember someone saying: "I always wanted a watermelon in the shape of a cat. Sadly, instead, I have a cat in the shape of a watermelon." In a similar thread.

I used it as a startup screen for my dad's work PC.

I wonder if they make watermelon flavored kitty chow? Or watermelon scented kitty litter?

Amadeus · 2005-07-01, 19:53

Watermelon is especially good this time of year.

billybobsky · 2005-07-01, 20:13

I once ate a whole watermelon.

And then I really had to peeee.

billybobsky · 2005-07-01, 20:50

Have you ever heard of 'the aristrocrats' joke which features a cat, steve jobs, and a watermelon?

It's not every day you see a cat standing in a lake, rolling a watermelon. God bless the interweb.

Look at the tail... that's no cat... it's a raccoon in disguise!

Robo · 2009-04-08, 21:55

Raccoons are so cute <3

but gross because they like garbage.

billybobsky · 2009-04-08, 22:53

I wonder if the raccoon stole the watermelon from the cat before or after it attacked fermilab?

It's a Maine Coon!!!

(no, really, it is)

*note: I suggest we leave the meme as-is, as saying "coon's watermelon" would make everyone here sound like my father.

Swox · 2009-04-09, 15:14

We found out that our cat's a maine coon thanks to your link! Wow!

Luca · 2009-04-09, 15:18

I fucking LOVE Maine Coons! My family adopted a stray and he's one of the most mellow, easygoing cats on the planet. And he's really big - around 15 lbs, and during the winter he gets that huge fluffy winter coat.

709 · 2009-04-09, 17:25

Me too. My precious Kitty-Gato is a Maine Coon (also a previous stray), but on the runt-end at a svelte 10lbs. In fact, when Googling Maine Coons for a link I had a Holy Shit moment scrolling down the wiki page, as the white cat near the bottom is nearly Poopy's twin (except Gato is odd-eyed and has a couple small black splotches).

Biggest, friendliest cat I've ever encountered was a Maine Coon. You could pick him up or roll him over and scratch his belly like a dog, and he loved it. If you wanted to pet the thing for half an hour, it would let you. The thing *never* got testy or swatted at you for petting it, and almost never ran away from people unless there was a ton of racket going on (party or something). If I ever get a cat it WILL be a Maine Coon. You could even take the thing to the vet and he was like "OK man, whatever... just give me some more food when we come back."
