Wilford Brimley and the five cats who resemble him

Posted by Cory Doctorow, May 2, 2008 4:57 AM | permalink

I don't often post about cats, but I'm impressed that Gato Island managed to find five (not one, but five) cats that bear a striking resemblance to Wilford Brimley. Link (via Digg)

DIABEETUS

"It hurts me to pee and it causes me to be short with my family. I can't sleep at night. The other day I stubbed my toe and I took it out on the dog. And two weeks ago I ran out of vanilla ice cream and struck my wife. Then I find out my wife's been dead for six years. Who the hell did I hit?!"

I suspect that it's Brimley that resembles cats (generic) rather than individual cats resembling him (individual).

Wilford Brimley scares me. In his commercials he comes off as a cranky old man who is yelling at me to eat my oatmeal and buy diabetes testing supplies.

These cats are kinda scary as well...

This guy was my first exposure to DIABEETUScat, which had me in stitches for hours, so up that tally from 5 to 6: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v95/your_can/diabeetus20cat.jpg

I put this picture up in my cubicle this morning and it has been quite a hit. Everyone, including our Beijing transplant, knows who Wilford is. Good stuff. Not sure what this has to do with technology, but I'm down and it's Friday. woohoo.

I hope those cats know that the cost of their dia-be-tiss testing supplies may be covered by Medicare.
