Winning! For Real

March 27, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat31 Comments

You know the saying, of course: “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” Well, guess who just, uh, flattered me? That “winner,” Charlie Sheen! It all started with a Tweet I sent him, round about the time he had just dominated Twitter by getting a million followers in the shortest time ever:

And he didn't even follow me back. Feh.

Since Sheen did not challenge my statement, I figured our dialogue was over… until a few weeks later, when I caught a clip of him making a surprise appearance on Jimmy Kimmel. Since there are no kitties in the video I won’t bother posting it, but I will tell you that if I had eyebrows they would have been raised at about 2:56 into the clip because I saw the t-shirt you can buy here (click on the “view larger image link so you can really see the detail).

Yep, it’s an orange kitty — not a tabby, not a meezer, not a tuxie or a calico. A cat whose shade is very close to mine! Well, Charlie, you winner, two can play at that game:

I definitely have more tiger blood than Charlie Sheen. Trust me.

Now you can find my winning image on a few dozen items in my CafePress store:

I also have infant bodysuits and dog shirts.

Who’s the winner now?

    Oh, PS… went over to Cafe Press and saw the “Calculating Sparkle” mouse pad. Perfect! You will now have a place of honor in the Accounting Department at Space Telescope (yeah, the woman is a bean counter, not an astrophysicist)! 😀

    You know what? I like your T-shirt better than his. The cat he used does not look like it has tiger blood. Just sayin’.

    p.s. I tweeted Charlie once because of his repeated bad grammar. But then I forgave him because he’s probably on crack when he writes.
