Nipclub November 5th, 2026, Sekurity Update by Slinky, @Slinky_the_Cat, Sekurity Agent, Late Nite shift
It’s Guy Fawkes Night, or bonfire night! We celebrated a British holiday with our pals overseas. Gator forgot to create new avatars, so I used last week’s again.
I arrived on time, and Gator was there, announcing the next shift.
The time change meant that slightly different friends were present when I arrived at the party. The time change always felt strange since Jakku lacks “daylight savings,” so I attend Nipclub at the same time each week in my world. But the pals around me have different times depending on the spring or fall.
It’s so confusing!
Moo brought me a drink.
Gator said he was doing well.
I mentioned the humans had glorious weather and lots of hummingbirds. Two types were showing up at the feeders, Costas and Anna’s.
K-Boi and Pearl arrived; Moo shared a photo of pelicans that her humans photographed. A great photo captured pelicans standing on a grassy beach.
Gator said they’re having misty, rainy, gloomy weather right now.
P & Jeego showed up as well.
Moo shared more photos, this time of desert landscapes; Pearl’s humans were battling bees because of the late rains. The abundance of flowers drive the bees wild! They are trying to nest in their birdhouse and in the roof.
Time for hot apple cider and chocolate cupcakes. So warm and delicious!
Mizz Bassie and Louis arrived and chatted about super El Niño weather, bees, beehives. Louis mentioned LATE NITE, which starts an hour later for me. Mizz Bassie said that Armani was much better and going to the vet tomorrow to have the glucose monitor changed.
Louis complained about the awful humidity and heat where he lives, so Pearl served him an extra cold, snow niptini cocktail.
I mentioned my human’s cat, Bettie Page, was interested in the painters that were working on the outside of their house, and Mizz Bassie asked about the paint colors. The job is taking longer than expected because of hot, wet, and rainy weather unsuitable for painting.
The weather is purrfect this week, so hopefully, they will complete it soon!
Kira showed up again! Greetings all around!
Pearl made chili, and it smelled delicious. Nice to have warm food, even when it’s not entirely cold yet in some areas, like New Zealand.
Just before LATE NITE, Pearl broke out classic British toad in the hole (sausages in what looked like a pancake) and candy apples. Wow, it was so good!
I asked about toad in the hole since I had never tried it before. It looked like Yorkshire pudding with sausages, and Pearl shared the recipe; that’s exactly what it is. With silky onion gravy… so good and warming on a cool evening.
Angus arrived; together with Louis, they completed the LATENITE party. Louis was in the DJ booth, starting us off with Rammstein, “Du Hast”. Then, techno dance music with Ummet Ozcan, “Xanadu”.
Let’s rock out! We needed tequila shots.
Louis mentioned duck sauce for some reason, and I said that’s the name of a techno band. He didn’t believe me, to I shared the video for “Barbara Streisand” by Duck Sauce.
It’s a campy and fun video.
Kira was still hanging out with us; Pearl was serving the flaming drinks while we chatted about music, Rammstein concerts, Nightwish lead singer drama (Floor Jansen), Spinal Tap, etc.
Pearl was serving cheesecake, and K-Boi showed up again. Then, Louis played a song from a band I didn’t know, The Struts, “Primadonna Like Me”.
Wow!
Gator and I danced around the room. It was such a great song and music video!
Then, Louis played The Hu, that amazing Mongolian metal band with throat singing, and Pearl had to go home.
It was getting late.
Gator was still here. K-Boi was in and out. Both were talking about fermented yak milk. (Hu reference).
Gator said there are dog chews made from fermented yak milk. I didn’t believe him, so he showed me the package.
Mind blown! There were his favorite chews.
Louis and Angus played some great music, and I was up way too late, not used to the new hours for LATE NITE. I let Gator lock up the bar this time.
Until next week!
