This headline is not a reference to oral sex written by an editor with only tangential knowledge of common vulgarities, which is even weirder than if it were.

Well, I mean, you would phrase it differently?
"...for consuming woman's feline"?
"...for digesting woman's pet"?
I mean, at least he put "cat" and not, you know, something else.
Let's see, Ryan, perhaps the editor could have written,"...killing and eating woman's cat." I think that would have wrung the humor out of the whole thing.
Perhaps, but it was the phrase "eating woman's cat" that, I imagine, got your gears turning in the first place. I don't know if adding "killing" would have wrung what you call "humor" out of the headline. I saw that headline before you pointed it out, and I certainly didn't make that connection to begin with. I've seen worse.
You're right Ryan, I lack your finally tuned sensibilities.
No, no, don't be so hard on yourself, "Veblen". What you really lack is a sense for newsworthy stories, of which this is not one.
What you DON'T lack, I will admit, is a remarkable pomposity; for example, anybody who thinks highly enough of themselves to hide their identity out of a delusion that the University would care enough to retaliate against a few pithy blog posts must be a real ass.
Do you always unleash the same snark usually reserved for Spanier on readers who try to make an innocent joke? If so, I would recommend finding your own sense of humor before commenting on the lack of one by somebody else.
You know what Ryan, you are right; I shouldn't have engaged in a snarkfest over a trivial throw away post.
You clearly read this blog fairly often, which is appreciated. I invite you to comment on my other more substantial posts. I don't guarantee that I won't push back were you to do so,in fact, I assure you that I almost certainly would. However, I would hope that an informed and honest debate would strengthen and refine my ideas without diminishing yours.
As a gesture of my good faith, I'm adding your blog Happy Valley Cynic to my student blogroll.
By the way, this invitation to comment extends to all of my readers.
