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

Mutant Sheep · 10-20-2012, 08:07 AM

Sir Reingo · 10-20-2012, 08:09 AM

See, now you got me dreaming again.

Dreaming is a good thing

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

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

LaZodiac · 10-20-2012, 11:55 AM

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.

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.

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?

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

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 · 10-20-2012, 12:19 PM

These are the birds you want.

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

Coidzor · 10-20-2012, 01:01 PM

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.

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.

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 · 10-20-2012, 01:14 PM

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.

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.

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.

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

Coidzor · 10-20-2012, 01:30 PM

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

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.
