THOUGHTS ON THURSDAY: THE TRIAL OF THE CENTURY

Please be seated, the trial is about to begin...
Hansel Von Long Kitteh,
what do you plead?

"In-o-sense" said Hansel as he laid carelessly on his jungle gym.

Introducing the judges:
The newest Squillion (unnamed)
Hans Nelson (the soft penguin)
and
Holly Noelle (the first squillion)

The audience takes its seat.
(ben ben)

Hansel makes his case

"YOOO see, mommeh an daddeh lefted da housie fur a while on vaycayshun" -hansel

"Ok, sir, can you please back up from the judges table?" -asked Holly Noelle

"O yes yes, sry.
As i waz sazin...."

"Does DIS look like a face dat wud chew wires?"

"Well... i'm not sure" -replied hans nelson.
"someone MUST have seen you do it."

"oohhhh he's got a point there" -says ben.

"Well i tellin yoo i DIDNA do it.
I waz offur dere rubbin mai face in da mint bowl...
an den, next fing i nos... sumone nommin dem wires"

They call the key witness, Tesla, to the stand.

"Well, akshullalee, i sawed him nom dem wires.

but nos betteh. Dis tim, him sawed dem not home, jus
pettsitter bean... den him attacked dem wires.

" Tesla, why would you tell on your brother?" -asked new squillion

"acaz, him TOL effurreeone dat I did it! An i didna do dis." cried tesla

"So, we have to remember, you are still angry... and there for could be framing your brother." -new squillion pointed out

"No, i not doin dat. Him nommed dem.
He nommed dem gud. Like, like
him neffur nommed before." stated tesla

Next they moved to the scene of the crime, to better
get a feel for what really happened that day.
The audience also followed.

The poor wire.
Following his brutal attack, the mom bean
covered the wire with aluminum to discourage nomming.
Then, she put the citrus smelling candles nearby which most
cats don't like the smell of.
(Hansel doesn't seem to mind them.)

"Hansel, can you show us where you were?" -asked hans nelson

"i waz sittin up dere, on top dat coffee table. Rubbin on da
mint bag. I waz."

"Den i looked offur dere an saw introodur nommin dem.

A closer look at the wires:

hmmmm.... there's something suspicious there....

MR. CHICK-A-DEE!
Tesla's hated toy!
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN

The jury spoke to mr. chick-a-dee.

"What are you doing behind those wires?" asked holly noelle

"i was framed!" cried chickadee "i was captured and put back there!
Honest! Tesla trapped me!"

The jury went back to confront tesla who was still
sitting happily in her castle.

"I dun no wat yoo sazin. I neffur touch dat stoopid mr chickadee.
I didna put him back dere. I do hates him dough. I had partee once.
I didna invite him. I HATE him."

Judge Petey had to decide.

Mr. Chickadee, Hansel, please take your places on the
platforms.

Petey and the jury spoke for a while on this matter.

A decision was reached.
Pending new information,
and finding mr. chick a dee at the scene of the crime...
We find Hansel, NOT guilty!

Mr. Chickadee however,
is sentenced to 1 week in jail!
