Which itself is the kind of place where creepy ceramic unicorns go to die.

THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL.
Is that trivia cat’s cousin on the right there!??
Maybe it will replace Trivia Cat, if he is broken beyond repair.
Please tell me that you bought that cat. If you didn’t, I’m going to be extra mean this week.
I passed that place on the way to a couple of events this year. I need to go inside it at least once.
Trivia Cat 2: The Cattining
uh… so I didn’t buy the ceramic cat. But if you want to stop by Cooterville yourself, it’s maybe 20 miles outside of Portland on Highway 26. They also sell funny hats.
YOU GUYS. I told you I bought a ceramic cat at the Guild shoot.
Felicia Day touched it. that means something, right?
@Kiala I think you might have mentioned that you got a ceramic cat on the tweets, but the tweets aren’t the /b/town.
@smirk THIS IS WAR! You had a chance for greatness and you spurned it like you spurn a fact-check. I will not let this wreckless disregard for win to stand. Let’s see where I can drive this clowncar of fail… Let the games commence!
The moral of this story is that Trivia Cat isn’t something you can just buy in a store. Trivia Cat is where you find him/her/it. Perhaps it’s when the sun sets majestically over the over the uncanny valley, perhaps it’s in the lifeless waxen laughter of a child. The point is that it’s only when you stop looking for Trivia Cat that he/she/it will find you, and God help you then.
Wreckless? C’mon Graham.
Who is Felicia Day?
Next stop… Cooterville!
