 Posted on March 12, 2012  |  The Editor

We wanted to throw a note your way to say that since we’re doing some traveling this week, posting on the site might be a little less frequent than you’re used to. We thought about just taking the week off, but we can surely squeeze out a few great nuggest of textual awesome out, so why not? If you don’t like this news, we’re very sorry. Please accept this present from the Foot Clan: [Read More]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

We can’t be there in person, but please print this out and place it in your pink construction paper adorned shoe box with a hole cut in the lid.

[Editor’s Note: If you don’t know who Alf is, then you probably really do have a shoe box on your desk and you need to be paying attention in class.]

GIF Week: The Big Finish With the Chick From Our Bumpers

 Posted on February 10, 2012  |  The Editor

[Editor’s Note: For context, this was part of our impromptu “Animated GIF Week“]

The last GIF of “GIF Week”! What could be special enough to be saved for the last moments of  your Friday? How about the chance to watch our boxing, bikini clad video bumper girl punch (and bounce) forever? That special enough for you?! Well lets hope, because that’s what it is.

Enjoy your weekend.

GIF Week: A Look Back

 Posted on February 10, 2012  |  The Editor

It’s Friday and we have some more posts coming up later in the day, but first lets recap. Do this next line in your best TV announcer internal voice. Previously on Punching Kitty… As we’re sure you know, as of Monday we randomly decided this would be “animated gif week” here on Punching Kitty…and then somewhere around Wednesday we decided it should be “animated gif week (but only use ones we made)” after we used 90’s teen heartthrob James Van Der Beek to illustrate some White People Problems: [Read More]

Quick Site Updates

 Posted on January 22, 2012  |  The Editor

One week later, and we think it’s safe to call the new redesign a winner with nothing but good vibes coming from all of you. Thanks! That being said we have made two note-worthy changes: 314-669-KTTY We have a new “tip line” phone number: 314-669-K-T-T-Y We still have the contact form, but if you’d rather you can text or leave a message any tips or questions to that number. Like if you were out one night and saw Rams quarterback Sam Bradford hitting on your girlfriend you’d take a picture, text it to us at 314-669-KTTY and then step in and say “You can have her for 500,000k.

Punching Kitty Turns Three and Launches New Redesign

 Posted on January 16, 2012  |  The Editor

Punching Kitty has been around, bringing St. Louis news to your lookin’ balls, for over three years now. (Technically our birthday was on Saturday, the 14th, but today’s good enough for us.) As with previous years, here’s the numbers: 3 years 1,648 articles 2,422 different “tags” Well over a million visitors. 4, maybe 5, bastard groupie kids That’s a pretty great run so far, and while this last year was particularly challenging with all the travel we had to do for the “day job”, we’re excited to keep going for a little while longer.

The Inevitable 2011 Round Up

 Posted on December 29, 2011  |  The Editor

As we have done the last few years, it’s time for our round up of the “top” articles from this very site in 2011. In the past we have done this in two posts, one listing the top 10 “most popular” posts based on page views and “likes” and a second list of our personal favorite posts. This year’s going down a little differently however for two reasons: As we close our our third year of existence, the stats for posts written in 2011 are getting harder to pull out from the older stories that still get significant traffic.

Dear Punching Kitty: Happy Holidays Edition

 Posted on December 22, 2011  |  The Editor

The other day we told you about a nun getting donkey punched and robbed in St. Louis, and while we were pretty sure it was the greatest thing written ever…not just good, but “Bible Good”. However different strokes for different folks! Here’s a comment that was submitted last night about that post: KADASH_SHALAM: Your sense of humor is as disgusting as the assault it’s self!! Shalam. First off, we really appreciate you signing your internet comment! [Read More]

KSDK Sports 2012 Looks Like the Worst Game Ever

 Posted on December 6, 2011  |  The Editor

Five random thoughts after watching one of the weirdest local news commercial St. Louis has seen (and it’s seen some insanely weird ones): 1. Are my only choices for my lineup Katie Felts, Rene Knott, and Frank Cusumano? We’d love a “Create-an-Anchor-That-Can-Pronounce-Names-Correctly” Feature! Eh who are we kidding, we’d take all the fun out of the game by maxing all the attributes to 100, making a over-sized linebacker of a sports reporter who will just run over people…just like KMOV did.

Woah There Onion, You’re Stealing Our Schtick!

 Posted on November 29, 2011  |  The Editor

The Onion just posted an article, entitled “U.S. Adds 4 Million Jobs But In St. Louis“. Here’s a sampling: The Labor Department reported Monday that the U.S. economy created a staggering 4 million jobs in October, though government officials hastened to add that the new positions are all located in the St. Louis metropolitan area. “Though this much- needed job growth would bring our unemployment rate down to a far more manageable six and a half percent, at the end of the day, it’s St. [Read More]
