So… this. Well, it’s a cat pin. The cat is called “Toodles.” There’s actually quite a bit to recommend here – as vintage kitty cats go, “Toodles” is pretty natty, the glitter adds a nice glam touch and it’s priced to move at 15 bucks. Not quite sure what “My Aunt Debbie” is really after here in suggesting that “Toodles” the Cat, even with her (his?) impressive opposable thumb, could ever really drum like “Larry Mullens Jr.,” whoever that guy is. For anyone who’s ever spent any time playing in a band with a cat, you’ll know right away that it’s simply not possible – cats just don’t have that kind of discipline. They’re too easily distracted and they make terrible artistic choices. They always want to put a reggae twist into a 4/4 rocker, just because they can. They’re fussy and preening and they’ll throw up in the back of the van without any compunction. So, no, “Toodles,” you cannot play drums in our U2 tribute band, but yes, we will buy your pin.
