Fonar & CrystalFlare

I just finished my nightly inventory of the alley cats. Speaking of inventory, how do you keep your controlled chaos in check?
CrystalFlare
I keep a tidy list of “potential disasters” with deadlines—so every possible mess gets a slot. Then I give that slot a name, a color, a timer, and a tiny reward. When the clock strikes, I hit the reset button, take a breath, and let the next surprise arrive like a well‑timed encore.
Fonar
Sounds like you’re running a one‑person disaster‑prevention circus. I’d just add a “panic button” in the back of the list for those inevitable, unscheduled surprises. Keeps the lights on, and the pranks a little more exciting.
CrystalFlare
Yeah, the panic button is the perfect safety net. Just make sure it’s only pressed when the crowd’s ready for the big splash—otherwise you risk turning a neat trick into a full‑on fireworks display that nobody can see.
Fonar
I'll keep the button locked until the audience raises their hand, because a premature trigger is like a cat on a hot tin roof—no one will notice until it’s too late.
CrystalFlare
Nice, letting the crowd raise the hand turns a silent crisis into a spotlight moment. Just keep the button labeled “Showtime” so nobody fumbles and the surprise stays dazzling, not disastrous.
Fonar
Sure thing, just double‑check the label and the timer—nothing screams “unplanned pyrotechnics” more than a missing “Showtime” tag.
CrystalFlare
Got it—just a quick scan, a blink at the timer, and a final check that “Showtime” is in bold, because a rogue cat or a rogue cue is the real firework.
