Chun gave Sprocket a beret lesson yesterday
How to wear a beret
Attempt #1:
Chun gives him a “D” for effort. Advice for next time:
- Have a smaller ear so your beret fits better
- Make sure your whiskers don’t get caught in the elastic band
- Incline your chin slightly to display more beret
Attempt #2:
Chun’s assessment:
- Shows improvement
- Next time, look less blobular
Attempt #3:
Chun’s assessment:
At which point, Chun discontinued the lessons.
In photo #1, Chun has also perfected the Princess Di Eyes, where you look through the tops of your eyes.
The last photo made me burst out laughing. I think Sprocket would rather wear his cape and be a bouncy superhero. He’s not the introspective beret-wearing type.
I meant the second-to-last AND last photos made me laugh. I needed a laugh in my hectic morning, so thanks, Little M and Miaolings!
My Miaolings make me laugh too. I was giggling at poor Sprocket all day. He’s so silly-looking sometimes. Most of the time.
Attempt three made me laugh! It is funny that the beret is covering both his ears!
hahahhahaha! poor flat-head Sprocket!
Re: Attempt #2 – Be sure your toys are out of camera range.
That dark red crinkle ball at your feet is too distracting.
Sprocket hasn’t learned that the only toys permissible in the photo frame are those that enhance its composition.
LOL!!! Chun is not impressed. But OMG, he is totally in Ze Frawnsh Ray-zee-stawnce.
Last photo indicates that Professor Chun does not allow playing around with Serious Stuff like the proper wearing of berets.
It’s back to basics for Sprocket.
By the way.
Just look at Chun’s fuzzy chest here.
I want to comb it gently, to encourage am more crisp line to the crest where the neck coat going down meets the tummy coat coming up.
He’s a bit too much the rumpled professor here, and sorta looks as if he slept in his suit.
Chun was so upset by Sprocket’s behavior that his feathers got all ruffled!
OMG such a fantastic post! Chun definately has his work cut out for him.
I just remembered what Attempt #3 reminded me of. The last time I saw a beret being worn that badly, it was on Harrison Ford pretending (badly) to be a Scot with a tam o’shanter in the second Indiana Jones movie. It looked about as good on him, too.
Oh yes, I remember that scene! I totally see the resemblance.
Lol!
Sprocket is wearing the heaviest beret in the world. It is crushing him downward.
Oh my. Chun’s assessment is correct – Sprocket does have a ways to go… In attempts 2 & 3 he looks like he’s about to panic and bolt to try to get away from the evil red beret that must be filled with lead.
I’m excited to see that Sprocket’s ears are so big – he’s going to be a giant!!!
I just went back up for another look. That final attempt makes me giggle.
Attempt 3 is really funny! Especially the expression on his face, haha.
Also lol’d! SO funny!
Also: LOL @ “feline haberdashery.”
Attempt #3 and the follow up photo have me cracking up at my office cube!
Hhaaaaa!!! they’re both brilliant. Everything worthwhile takes a little time, a little effort…or magic.
::applause::
And their expressions are making me giggle.
Attempt 3 is just so wrong but I am extremely impressed by your cats wearing their berets
Opening your post, I was amazed by the likeness of Chun to my Bertha: http://sophiescott196.wordpress.com/2011/06/18/beautiful-bertha-from-bristol/
He looks a little heavier than Bertha, and she has small white mittens, but they both have the same nose and arresting eyes.
