Casper, an adopted stray cat that had never performed in public was invited to perform on Turkey's Got Talent in a distant city with 24 hours' notice. Of course I said "yes." This travesty of "cat caught in the headlights" was not only played to millions on TV, but was seen by hundreds of thousands on a news video website, and replayed many, many times on the "best of Turkey's Got Talent" reruns. Casper was quite a trooper even staying on stage, I'll now admit. The worst part was that I barely knew any Turkish, and am just randomly blurting out a few words and phrases--I must have sounded like a mentally disturbed foreign toddler.
