So, I'm on Facebook and I get this 'cause' invitation, something about "join us in a petition to have Cheyenne Cherry not get away with baking a live kitten...." or something along those lines, and I think to myself, after a quick snicker, "Wow. Someone was bored". I look to see who sent me the invite and it's my birthday buddy, Andy. ANDY?! What?! No way. This must be a joke....let me look at this.

I click on the link and proceed to read. But, for the sake of copy right laws and all of that, just google "Cheyenne Cherry" (in quotations of course) and read all about the young lass yourself.

Wow. Seriously?? This is "for real"?! One story that I read even had a picture of her. She looked like such a NICE young girl! (I sound like my mother...don't say it, I know...)

So, of course I go through all the stages of grief, but most likely not in order. I don't do much of anything in order. (Just ask my kids...) 1) Anger 2) Disbelief 3) Shock 4) Blog

What is WRONG with people?! Where is her MOTHER?? Not to blame the parents. HOLD UP! Don't think I'm pointing the finger at Dear Ol' Mom. She could be rocking herself to sleep at this very moment crying in her pillow asking, "Where did I go WRONG?!"...but still. One *does* have to ask! Or at least THIS one does.

Then there's my thought, OK kid...what kinds of hobbies do you have, other than vandalization and kitty cooking? I mean, do you crotchet? (crow-shaaay, say it with me kids...) Do you swim? How about writing?! I'm a BIG fan of writing, do you write?! It's SUMMER time, for crying out loud! Shouldn't you be at home gabbin' it up with your girls about some dumb boy that did you wrong over summer break?? (NOT PLOTTING YOUR REVENGE...let's just not go there...)

And of course, then, after I mourn poor Tiger Lilly (the cats name) I get into my head and envision this *poor* cat, trying to claw its way out of the oven...baking, little by little, in the most torturous of heats and my mind goes into thinking...PEOPLE TORTURE! YES! That's IT!! But I'm sure there would be those who would be against it, right? I mean, we have PETA who says, "We cannot torture animals" (or something along those lines...that's not meant to be a direct quote, so don't quote me) so I'm sure there would be some group out there that would be called PUP "People for the un-cooking of People" or something basically ridiculous like that. And those who are members of anti-death penalty activist groups would get jealous and think that that's a waaaay cooler name and then they'd sue, like American Airlines sued Alcoholics Anonymous for the name "A.A." and our court rooms would be FULL of absolutely LUDICROUS law suits and HOLY COW what a MESS I've created in my own head!! I've been told never to go into my mind without supervision. I know better! And now you do too.

(Ignoring afore mentioned warning...)

What exactly would be the pro's and cons of people torture? I mean, this is *ALL* hypothetical mind you, and I'm NOT at ALL insinuating that we do *ANYTHING* to people other than ignore them, but....what if... I mean, wouldn't it be fair? Bake a kitten - be thrown into a giant oven....and we'll aaaalllll run away just like YOU did, Cheyenne! What?? There's a Con to that?? That's not the same? How?? I don't see any cons here. You TORTURED A LIVING CREATURE!!! You're LUCKY the police have you in custody, because the world out there just isn't your biggest fan right now! Who's the joke on NOW, kiddo? I see a pro, but no con. Maybe I'm just being too hard on the poor kid. She was just having some innocent fun after all, right? Just like all the other sociopath's out there, who have no conscience and feel that their actions require no consequence. We "just don't understand" her.....Poor kid.

Ron White, to me, is a VERY funny comedian. I won't quote him, because I'm *bound* to screw it up and though immitation is the finest form of flattery, I could get sued for plagiarism or at least not being as funny, so I will suggest looking him up. When you do find him and you get to the part about Texas being a capital punishment state and how they've installed an express lane, you'll see why I laugh. It's *funny*!

That's not a pro, nor is it a con. It's a reality...USE it!
