Kneenibble's Knack for Knightly Knickers: a Knell for Random Banter #184

[Mutant Sheep]

Those puns were... Painful. Coming from someone who loves dumb puns.

Indeed. They hurt my bwain much.

Also, I hereby post in the grand thread of Knee, expecting much funs. Is there to be fun, or merely pun?

You'll appreciate the fun more if you have to wad through the pun to get to it

[Mutant Sheep]

... That wasn't very punny. *Binky Laugh*

[Sir Reingo]

Is that pun patent punding?

[LaZodiac]

Doesn't sound especially space efficient either...

Man, I wish I had a duvet cover like that. Mine are just blue or green with nonsensical patterns...

...a sky blue one, with a mighty bird of prey spreading its wings to cover me as I lie resting in my bed. And small white cotton-clouds to provide ambience to the background...

See, now you got me dreaming again.

Dreaming is a good thing

Aww, could you be more adorable? I think not.

Also, just lizards, or all reptiles? It's important, you see.

On blankets: I'm quite fond of them, but I don't really have any with personal memories. Still, it's not that uncommon to find me curled up with a fluffy one. Or, more likely, rolled up in it and hanging off the furniture. It's comfier that way. >.>

I like all reptiles

[Kyrian]

Oh hey, it's you! You're that guy! o/

Yay I'm loved!

<3

[LaZodiac]

Yay I'm loved!

<3

I recognize you too

How's your baby doing?

[Kyrian]

I recognize you too

How's your baby doing?

She's doing great, three months old already. Holy *%#$ she's already that old??? Where did time go?? o.O

[LaZodiac]

Time went thataway (points in all the directions).

If what my parents said last month is true, she'll be 18 before you know it.

Teddy mentioned his blanket before, and I feel I should share with you guys what MY blanket is. It was put together by my Auntie. One side is black, the other side has a lizard and tropical floral print (I like lizards, you see). It's so warm and relaxing that it's all I need in any weather, and simply having it over me makes me sleepy. It's pretty sweet.

Everyone should share a story about their blankets.

Nice.

I have an unremarkable blanket [quite small, more of a shawl] of beige wool that belonged to a man who walked coast to coast across Canada and back.

When I met him, I saw his aura, which is the only time I've experienced something paranormal like that.

If you can, try to find a video with its call. The butcher bird, at least the pied butcher bird which I'm familiar with, has a really beautiful, delicate call. Quite out of step with its brutal nature.

I have just done so: how cute! I see it was an Australian bird, too. Do you see it in your environs? Can this bird be convinced to cuddle?

Eh heheh. It was kinda his idea... I think the idea is that anyone is allowed to join in.

Thou! Thou nobile scarcity!

We have (well trying to have) an understanding. She's not allowed to get any bigger. Until I'm ready

For the future, a great way to keep her safe is to tell her boyfriends "Don't do anything to my daughter you wouldn't want me to do to you."

OMG THIS! YES!!! I just fell out of my chair laughing at this. I'm nearly in tears. <3

[Serpentine]

I do, on occasion! And hear it, too - took a while to realise that was what was making the noise.
As for cuddling... I'm not sure. I imagine it's as tameable as any other bird if you raise it from a chick, but I can't say I've ever heard of anyone having one as a pet.

[Rawhide]

These are the birds you want.

[LaZodiac]

That sounds like an interesting story and I would like you to share.

[Coidzor]

The imitable Warren Zevon had some words on the subject of daughters, I seem to recall.

Something about Tenderness on Blocks or some such.

Personally, I'm still waiting for Johnny to strike up the band myself, but I'm just an excitable boy.


That's pretty interesting, Kneen.

What about the missus?

[AsteriskAmp]

There are actually two types of "butcher-bird".

The Butcherbird which is indeed Australian and the Shrike or Butcher Bird which is the one that is indeed... a butcher and isn't native to the southern hemisphere.

In my personal teenage whine news: Today feels like a school day. Damn tests. Make me sad.

Just remember. This too shall pass and then you'll long for the days you had to play in the sun while not having to work in order to not freeze to death in the winter.

Hell, I just miss having the time to really sit down and read a good book.

[Rawhide]

Try not to confuse the butcherbird with the magpie. The latter will swoop down and bombdive you with its beak.

Australia, where even the birds will attack you.

[randman22222]

Snip.

Thou! Thou nobile scarcity!

Nobile? Since when?

These are the birds you want.

Ohhhhh yes. Those birds are INSANELY friendly. Even semi-wild ones will sometimes happily eat from your hand and hang around a while. It was a cool mix of bizarre and d'aww when I first came across some Loris.

[LaZodiac]

One of the birds steals shiny things. The other one impales other birds on spikes. The difference COULD save your life.

I was under the impression that it was emus that'd attack you in Australia.

[Rawhide]

I was under the impression that it was emus that'd attack you in Australia.

If you play dead, emus will just stomp on you a few times, maybe break some bones. Magpies, on the other hand...

[Coidzor]

Huh. I guess that explains why they named anti-tank missiles after those birds then. ...Now I want a Shrike...

I was under the impression that it was emus that'd attack you in Australia.

Emus will attack you anywhere, not just in Australia.

[Rawhide]

He's on my tail, I can't shake him!

[AsteriskAmp]

Emus will attack you anywhere, not just in Australia.

Elsewhere you list the things that attack you, in Haustralia you list those that don't.
