Brickbat: Meet My Little Friend

A member of the Vallejo, California, planning commission has resigned after tossing his cat during a Zoom meeting of the commission. The cat can be heard meowing in the background when Chris Platzer says, "I'd like to introduce my cat," picks it up and tosses it off-screen. Platzer can be seen drinking from a green bottle during the meeting. After the meeting concluded, he can be heard cursing someone out.

I'm into cat juggling so I don't see the problem.

[BigT]

In college we used to play catch with our cat.

I used to be the tethercat champion in high school.

[Martyna]

the photo is cute, though.

[Adans smith]

So he quit after getting caught grabbing pussy?

[darkflame]

I see what you did there

[Eddy]

You stole my truly tasteless joke.

[MatthewSlyfield]

It's not tasteless. It has a strong bitter aftertaste.

[Brandybuck]

True presidential material.

[Eddy]

Still not as good as the Australian who claimed he outright forgot he was at a government meeting. An easy oversight given how much he was drinking.

[Adans smith]

But he had a better excuse, he's an Aussie.

[markm23]

Can an Aussie even function when sober?

“This hurts the credibility of the city,” Sampayan added. “What happens if a developer is watching the meeting (and sees that)? They would obviously have concerns about the city.”

Ha.

[Gray_Jay]

They're already agreeing to do business with Vallejo. When was their last bankruptcy again? I think the developer is beyond any "concerns about the city" point, and probably just wants to set some cash on fire.

[mad.casual]

picks it up and tosses it off-screen.

Overhand or underhand?

I can't defend him if he throws like a girl.

[Jerryskids]

If you toss them underhand you can get more spin on the cat. I thought everybody knew that.

[Still Curmudgeoned (Nunya)]

They don’t always land on their feet if rotational velocity is sufficiently high!

[Longtobefree]

Of course he resigned. He's a cat owner.

[Don't look at me!]

What a pussy.

[MatthewSlyfield]

How many cats does he have? Maybe we can get a bunch of incels to protest outside his house because he's a pussy hoarder?

[Quo Usque Tandem]

I have come to appreciate the serendipitous benefits of this lock down, by allowing us to see into the lives of the persons who occupy themselves with obstructing our liberty and prosperity.

Turns out they are just dipsomanical assholes.

[sarcasmic]

Ever do kitty bowling? All you need is a wood floor, something to knock down, and a cat. You can figure out the rest.

[Gray_Jay]

The cat walks up to the thing and knocks it down, because it's an asshole? My mother in law's house had a couple of bowling alleys then.

I like cats, but I don't think there's ever been a cat owner who hasn't once wanted to throw the furry little bastard across the room. Not a good idea to do it on camera though.

[Ron]

it was more of a toss than a throw as some had reported.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Wow, they could even get Alinity off of Twitch for doing that. Male Privilege indeed.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

couldn't*

[Dillinger]

>>Platzer can be seen drinking from a green bottle during the meeting.

like Tanqueray, bordeaux, or Heineken?

[Atlas Slugged]

Maybe he was just inventing the catapult?
