Friend of mine who had lost both legs in a farm accident as a child was a member of the University of Illinois "handicapped" basketball team . . . they called themselves The Squids.
Strange.... colossal squids are the bigger suckers.
Blatham, if those things on my school pix were pom-poms/streamers you can be sure it is a fake - I sooooooo never led any cheer thingies - we don't have 'em here, anyway!
No use complaining to me - I throw up my paws - I lost control pages ago - I've tried to KILL the damned thing at least twice...
Goddamn, the Cunning Coney, Patio, Farmerman -- eveybody's just funny as hell tonight, i've not laughed aloud at the monitor this much in one evening ever . . . what's up . . .
What in blue blazes IS that thing, ehBeth?
Do you know - as of this minute, we got eight hidden users - EIGHT - more than us open folks.
Sheesh.
They gonna bump into each other sneaking round like that....god help anyone who runs into that damned paper clip!
Nevermind the colossal squid ...
Auntie Lowan? Can I ask you a question?
Um ...
Blimey! That be one BIIIIG Bunny!
What is the question?
If you are asking me if that is I, no it isn't!
I am a white Bunny - of the ilk of Harvey, but very feminine.
i'm a hidden member, you can't see me
I know.
And I CAN see you - you leave mutes behind, you owl, you!
Good to see you!
No relation eh? Well, I sure wouldn't want to meet THAT bunny in a dark alley!
Say, is there a difference between a rabbit and a hare?
And if people here call you a bunny ... is that like calling a grown woman a girl?
--- (always puzzled) ---
There IS a difference between a rabbit and a hare, yes.
"HARE, name for certain herbivorous mammals of the family Leporidae, which also includes the rabbit and pika. The name is applied especially to species of the genus Lepus, sometimes called the true hares. Hares generally have longer ears and hind legs than rabbits and move by jumping rather than by running. Unlike rabbits, hares are born covered with fur and with their eyes open. Hares are native to Eurasia, Africa, and North and Central America; they have been introduced into Australia in recent times. They range in weight from 3 to 13 lb (1.4?5.9 kg) and from 13 to 25 in. (33?63 cm) in length. They are usually brown or grayish in color, but northern species acquire a white coat in winter. Hares live in meadows, brushy country, and woodland clearings; they are largely nocturnal although they may forage in the day if undisturbed. Members of most species rest in shallow hollows, called forms, that they make in vegetation; they have regular trails from these forms to their feeding spots. Females make nests of their own fur for receiving the young. Hares feed on grasses, leaves, and bark. Like rabbits, they reingest their own droppings so that food passes twice through the digestive system. Most North American hares are very large, with extremely long ears, and are called jackrabbits. Other North American species are the varying hare (or snowshoe rabbit), Lepus americanus, which ranges over the northern half of the continent; the Arctic hare, L. arcticus, found on the coasts and islands of the Arctic Ocean; and the Alaska, or tundra, hare, L. othus, found in N and W Alaska. The large brown hare, L. europaeus, is native to Europe, where it is valued as game. Introduced as a game animal in the NE United States, it has become an agricultural pest. The so-called Belgian hare is actually a domestic rabbit.Hares are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Mammalia, order Lagomorpha, family Leporidae."
Hmmmm - the bunny question is a very good one.
If people say Bunny with a Playboy Bunny in mind, it IS offensive to me - however, in my mind, as the odd persona centred around my avatar has grown, "Bunny" signifies the humanesque sort of critter I associate with Harvey in the lovely Jimmy Stuart film - so Bunnies are large, walk on two legs, speak and so on - and are somewhat magical creatures - like the talking animals in the Narnia books. I am THAT sort of Bunny.
Does that help?
now that bunny would make a good meal.
where's cav or jerryr?
