How about just slap them across the face with a large trout? Imagine just standing there with your cheek stinging and scales all over the place? lol

Anyone think it should be legal to get a permit to hunt specific humans and kill them? No?

Okay. Just me, then.

I'm confused....

Are you the only one that we can get a permit to hunt ?

Or did I read that wrong ?

[Mad Matt]

Yes, my inebriated friend.

Happy Hunting!

I watched a show tonight about the virtues of owning (or being owned by) a ferret.

I've been pondering exactly why this notion appeals to me so, as it makes no sense whatsoever to add to the insanity of my day by adding one more mischievous, if cuddly cute being in the house.

You see, I've already got a 6 year old who gets into everything, swipes stuff and hides it back in secret places, leaves great messes everywhere she goes, and likes to eat paper. (okie, i did it when i was 6 as well).

God's Trousers! WHY would i want to have a four-legged, smaller, quicker and messier version of that?!

come on, someone talk me out of it..

it's the eyes, gotta be the eyes and the cute "love me" expression. ferrets can get away with murder if they'll only cuddle and snuggle. o.o oh yeah.. i got that already.

Uh, Maggi:

Did you know that ferrets have a bit of a B.O. problem?

I'm almost there! I work 4 and have off 3!

[Jolliet Rouge]

Aye, Mad Matt that I do. Or perhaps an extra day to add to the weekends...like Friday, Saturday and Sunday....or Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

hey look, I made "Scourge of the 7 seas." Kind of too bad though, I found a lot of irony in being a dread pirate with actual dreads.

Jack and I and some friends went to a local sushi restaurant for dinner tonight.

A couple of years ago, they installed a projection system to go with the background music. They usually show pastoral scenes, historic buildings in Europe, butterflies, pretty birds, etc.

So this evening, they started out with a movie with ocean scenes. Very peaceful: sea turtles, various tropical fish, that sort of thing. It ended and they queued up a new film. The new film was a nature study, but of a very different type. It started out with two male arctic grouses fighting over a female. And they really did the scene cuts to make it look even more dramatic and violent. Then there was a badger walking through the snow. Okay, this was reasonably peaceful - until it came upon a dead deer and proceeded to tear it apart. Next there was a male and female squirrel; it started out innocently enough... until they started having sex. And then a ferret came down and killed one of them.

Lovely dinner theatre.

Oh, Jill, I am sorry, but you got me laughing so hard I got tears running down me cheeks. Oh......Thanks for the laugh!!!

Oh My, I can't stop laughing........

My sympathies, Jill!

Starting to see more of what were called back in Florida 'Draught Houses' here in the Dallas area. Basically, older movie theaters or playhouses converted into cramped dinner theaters. Great idea when applied properly. 'Applied' being operative here. I loved going to those back home, they were always a blast, but the latest models aren't quite so enjoyable. Welcome to the city 101, and forget about watching a film in any state of comfort.

Ah well, you get the picture.

I'm straight out on that. Take me far from the 'fadding' crowd if you will.

I'll stay at home with my wife and watch a great period film, thank you, and leave all that noise to those who think it's worthwhile.

I think I need a drink.
