I have a question for zoobies around here: what are the good/bad things about being a zoobie?

As for me:
Bad things:

1. Having to put up with yetis who will say they are more evolved than zoobies.

Good things:

1. I didn't have to go through the pain of premature white hair like a yeti.
2. I don't need to make a fuss about my hair, smell and looks. (for most zoobies)


PS Since we might want to talk about zoobonic and proud things, yetis aren't really welcome to be here. Thanks!

Is it true that you guys don't ever have to shave, ever?
That sounds like a plus to me.
 
I don't know wether it's good/bad but I know they're virgin.(go watch MIH's movie):-p
 
What you got against the yetis?

Everyone has a bad date now and then.

I don't think Yetis even know how to make brush shelters. Not too bright.

Holy cows, Batman! How did I miss that??! MIH is making porn movies involving livestock*?? I thought that sort of thing was illegal!

*(I'm sure livestock is the wrong term, and it might even be offensive, but I'm not really sure how you classify zoobies. I'd ask my coworkers, but they left to star in a "CareerBuilder" Super Bowl ad and still haven't come back. I guess once acting is in your blood, it's hard to get it out, even with dialysis.)

I am a virgin, yes, but it is by choice, Lisa! You see, I have been saving myself for you! Yes, I always knew you'd come along some day, and I have been patiently waiting for your exclamatorily-pointed love to complete me and rock my world.

I have never done this before, but for you, Lisa! I am going to post an authentic picture of what I look like, so you will appreciate the blissfull future that waits you in my arms in my brush shelter:

Jeez, man! You've been hitting the gym since your avatar photo was taken! Just make sure to take your booster inocculations; those steroids increase your susceptibility to Zoobonic Plague.
MIH, how could you expect Yetis to know how to make brush shelters? There's not all that much brush in the Himalayas. On the other hand, they're great at igloos.

Good: Faking Yeti footprints for entertainment
Bad: Finding shoes that fit

Good: Lives in the comfort of the S. Cal climate
Bad : No smoking allowed in brush shelters by state law.

Good: Never needs a bath [according to legends]
Bad : Never takes bath [according to locals]

:sigh: How romantic!
I don't want you to betray to your zoobie identity! You do know that I'm not a zoobie and that's what's kept us apart from each other for whole our lives.:cry: :cry:


"I am a burning candle;
You are the morning light,
If I do not see You, I burn;
if I see You, I vanish.
This is my condition
in separation and closeness.
I can bear neither separation nor proximity."

I don't know if you two are compatible, Lisa. What did you get on the OK Cupid test?
 
  • #20
No matter since we have to be apart anyway! Please don't increase my pain by talking about this forbidden love. :frown:
