@gigi101060 You are very kind Gigi ... I've only been doing this for six months and it has been quite a learning experience, but I'm having a lot of fun and it warms my heart when people appreciate the effort! =o)
This is about the 15th time I've watched this (I enjoy it so...), and always laugh at the struggle El has while eating that sucker! I love the song, and memories of Kliban shirts flash before my eyes (love to eat them mousies, mousies is what I love to eat) LOL ! We had a big bad fly roving around the house dive bombing us the other day & could have really put El to the test. I could bat it down and he could finish him off! Haha! It was big too!! Did Mat find reverse? Inquiring minds ya know!
@ibsunnysha We are thrilled to know you are getting such enjoyment from this ... it was fun to create. Elwood would've been thrilled to help out with your big fly ... he would have kept at it until he caught it on his own [no need for batting it down >g<]. Clever Mat took no time in finding reverse ... he never ceases to amaze me! =o)
@RockyBDemilleFan me too! lol Been working on loads of new ones and then my friends came up from England so been stuck playing hostess the last few weeks! lol Got so many videos and other stuff to catch up on once they go home! lol
@powerpuff250387 Thanks Julie! I went ahead and bought that Corel program we chatted about ... I'm supposed to be receiving a book in the mail soon that will teach me all the cool choices I have now. Looking forward to your next video ... I was just thinking earlier that it's about time for you to be posting one =o)
@Illuminatta Ooohhh, sorry for that reaction Toni! It was certainly not our intent ... perhaps there should be a warning with this video. We miss seeing you on our subscription page every day ... we hope all is well and you are dealing successfully with the heat! ♥ Your Playhouse Pals
@RockyBDemilleFan LOL...no need to apologize. I didn't really...but I have this thing about flies. They are so filthy (think about what they like to land on) and I got one stuck in my throat once. I think I swallowed half a bottle of listerine trying to get that ICK factor out of my head! LOL!!!
Just got my car's AC fixed, so I am much happier. I hope you and yours are staying cool, too! And thanks...I will be posting a shoutout video tomorrow. Keep an eye out! ;)
My experience with cats is that they do not have the concept of "disgusting." I mean let's be clear, the guy would lick his butt if he was in the mood, so what's the big deal about a fly.
My diet thanks you, Rock (and Elwood), for dissuading me from having the little snack I was thinking about. :)
"Sticking to the roof of my mouth" Hahha! Another terrific video. :D Elwood looks so absolutely adorable especially at 2:00 when he lies down! :) I think Ashley might be developing a slight crush on Elwood.. she's next to me watching the screen intently! :) Such a cute video. Have a great weekend.
@ashleypurrs Well now ... Ashley likes a great hunter like Elwood, huh? ... maybe the old adage, "Nice guys finish last" doesn't apply in this instance. I'm sure he would be thrilled to know he has a female feline fan [if the knew what THAT was!] ... thanks for checkin' in =o)
@MattheCrazyScientist WOW ... Europe, what a lucky guy ... I hope you'll be video taping [how about a travel-vlog?]. Have a blast and be safe! We'll keep an eye out for your latest video [Mat sez howdy] =o)
Really funny at the beginning when he hears a sound while grooming. Excellent vintage music and with that being said,I am going to throw up at the thought of eating that fly!
@Suzan4B Yeah ... hahahaha ... it was tough making the choice of manning the camera or retrieving the fly ... by the time I saw what was happening it was too late for the fly and I really didn't think Elwood was actually gonna EAT it! Gross =oI
Yayaah, bring on dem juicy flies..! Oh Elwood, baby...got some bad fly just when you thought you were into a good thing (it went sour...or was that slurry, shiny or what??) You'll be good soon 'cause your Mom won't let anything bad happen to you El...! Wow! We all be heading for the film fest next year with the "Nitty, Gritty, Playhouse Pals Band!!) FUN and well done, One R! Really enjoyed the show!!!
This was hilarious! Cat Ivan adds: "I always feel the same after a"fly-by-meal". My taste buds are leaning more toward organically raised spiders, yum, yum..." Meow & purrs to my friends Elwood & Sherpa from Cat Ivan=^o^=
@FunnyAccent1 Gee, I always figured Cat Ivan was more of an escargot aficionado by the way he was able to finagle the slugs into mining the gold, but spiders are a good source of protein even IF the legs get stuck in the teeth on occasion. Lovin' your Staycation, don't stand [or sleep!] in front of the cannons though. Purrs and Pets to Ivan and his *Dad*
@DrNworb He's definitely NOT a vegan ... not that there is anything WRONG with that [some of our best YouTube friends ... ] Happy Anniversary again, your latest video is as delightful as YOU, Sharon and Ginger ... we adore you ♥
@RockyBDemilleFan Thanks again! We hope Elwood is over his fluffy tummy ache and tell him I've heard that tofu flies are possibly even worse tasting than the real ones (I'm a vegan that hates soy!).
BTW is this all a rouse to distract the mice? Where is Sherpa? And are Jambi and Matt involved? I fear this story is not over, except for maybe the fly.
@beekalmer You can see Sherpa for a moment in the background toward the end [sprawled out and shedding on the carpet] ... Jambi was too busy napping and Matt climbed down the center of the air tube [he may require assistance to escape ... am waiting to see if he can ooze himself backwards] ... never a dull moment, but we ARE a mouse free Playhouse [the force field is strong!] =o)
@beekalmer You should see what he can do with a MOTH [paw curl and all as he tries to snag one ... teehee] ... Lucy would be at a loss for words [for once] =o)
I loved it. The music was wonderul and you used the captions brilliantlly to enhance the story and the effect. Elwood was wonferful. He just oozed "cat on a trip". <3 My boys and Nissa sent meows and purrs to Elwood an Sherpa
@silverpoint16 Ever since Elwood was a wee Yoda clone [looked just like a mini orange Yoda] he has exuded a spacey vibe... he really is in his own unique universe and couldn't be any sweeter ... I lucked out to the max [far out] >g< We love all of the Silverpoint Sidekicks ... those Cockamamie Cats and their Fearless Leader ... thanks for being there [here] ♥ Bc
@celinne700 We love your keenly astute observations Celinne and look forward to them with great delight ... you have the fellas pegged to a tee and teasing is a daily part of life here in the Playhouse ... you *GET* us and we adore you ♥ One R and the Characters
The 'Wood always looks like he's high like a moon pie in the sky. He looks dazed and far out in another dimension. Dude's paws never seem to touch the ground. Maybe he thought that fly came out from some inner dimension so he had to get it back there? I swear most seriously that your two boys have a stash of something psychotropic buried somewhere. When you start seeing laughing dragons in diamond skies, chances are you have found their little 'treasure' trove.
@celinne700 I LOVE laughing Dragons [I was born in the Year of the Dragon] ... my gem choices are more in the Ruby range, but diamonds will do ... I'll keep my eyes peeled =o)
@CirSam Pretty fly comment [for a WHITE guy!] ... Red Dress is one of my all time FAVORITE Seattle bands ... Gary Minkler is an outstanding songwriter/singer ... I always called their music Science Fiction Rhythm and Blues when trying to describe them =o)
Wizzy prefers spiders to flies, and I have noticed no adverse effects. Maybe Elwood should concentrate on spiders too. Or has he gone off insects altogether?
@childrensbooks4u I can always tell when Elwood is after a spider in the basement ... he gets a high pitched, excited kind of squeal ... as long as he doesn't bring them upstairs I'm fine =o)
@3cats2kids1love Thank you Karin ... Sherpa brought me a mouse once about ten years ago ... haven't seen another one since [thank goodness!] Elwood is my chief fly and moth catcher and he really IS a nice guy =o)
