A2k Time Machine...or, Are You a Springbok?

I have a browser which allows me to open where I left off last time.


Sometimes I leave the "Who Is Online" window open, and I look into the past.....which (visible) A2kers were doing what when I last was here. (Sometimes I can figure out who is hiding, too...but I digress.)


What is striking is how often the window looks pretty similar when I refresh it.....perhaps a day or two later.


I used to have a Siamese who, when stoned at night, would pace round and round the garden, putting a paw on, and thus extinguishing, crickets. Of course, by the time she had put out the last cricket, the first one would be stridulating again, and she would continue her happy, dreamy circuit...round and round and round.....putting out crickets.



We have cricket extinguishers here. I watch them, posting to thread after thread in politics, relentlessly extinguishing every damned librul, posting in contradiction on every thread.

Of course, by the time they have finished, there is some damned librul cricket stridulating on the thread again, and they must begin their task anew......round and round and round....extinguishing crickets....

Doubtless we have our more left wing cricket extinguishers, too....





Then, there are the stately, thoughtful, ungulants.


These can be seen lingering long in one forum or another....thoughtfully chewing the cud on threads...considering, reflecting, and finally posting in their thoughtful, reasoned manner.



Then the Springboks.....leaping manically from thread to thread, forum to forum, posting fast and furiously...these can spring up almost anywhere, and be gone in an instant....



We also have the chooks....(hens etc)....these tend to scratch around happily in places like word games , (or General) clucking contentedly, and laying their eggs neatly in the same places every day.


Our ants scurry far afield in search of beautifully researched and presented facts and arguments...if we are really lucky, they are a sort of spider ant, and they leave a wonderful trail of diagrams and graphs and Venn diagrams in their wake to the amazement of our grasshoppers, who love to have an opinion, but seldom want to work hard enough to weave such a magical edifice of reason and obsession.


What other animals do we have here?


What animal are YOU??????
