Do you have any details about this man, or have a photo or description of him? I mean, anyone could show up at your doorstep and... :eek:
He's supposed to be Russian. But the odd thing is I only needed to pay for the plane ticket from New York... :confused: Hey, where has cronxeh been lately!

BTW Doc, you do have cute kids, and I'm not just saying that, because if they were ugly I wouldn't say anything at all (oooops, I hope no one remembers I said this if they post pics of ugly kids). :eek:

Danger said:
I believe that Moonie is right now negotiating with SOS to have an armadillo shipped to her post-haste.
I once told a story about my "festive holiday" trip -- the one where we totalled my new car the day before Christmas and then were sick with food poisoning on New Year's Eve... That was in Texas, and I'm not going back to get a well-endowed armadillo... for any small fee, that's for sure.

Hmmm, someone's knocking at the door... I'll have to catch up with you guys later...
 
  • #6,804
Don't worry SOS, I'm almost done with the computer. You'll get your turn soon. :biggrin: She's sexy when she gets angry.

You guys had a beaver party and I missed it? That was fast.

Oh, another little Toxyn! The happy hair sculpture picture that every dad makes; I've got one of those around in an old photo album somewhere. I pried it out of my parents blackmail file. You've got some cute kids there. Must be nice being a dad.

By the way, you've got cute kids there Doc. I like the hair shot, but you shouldn't really place your child that close to your Tesla coil. :biggrin:

I feel so deprived! I don't have any pictures of me that look like that. My sister does have a picture of my nephew right after a bath with all his hair sticking up though. :biggrin: At least it's better than the close-up photos my uncle is circulating of my cousin's new baby getting his first diaper change! :eek: My poor cousins didn't stand a chance. When my other cousin's son was born, there's a photo of all the men standing around being instructed on how to change a diaper...no chance they can claim ignorance with photographic evidence now. :biggrin: :smile: The expressions on their faces was absolutely priceless though! It seemed to be a combination of intense concentration, some degree of confusion (sort of like "which way is up?"), and mild disgust. :smile:

Well, he keeps ruining our parties, so I couldn't let him off too easy for such an offense! :biggrin:

Psst, Artman, the beavers are still hiding behind the curtains with the lurkers. If we don't feed them soon, they're going to start biting lurkers.[/size]

Hi lurkers! You might want to come out and play now. :biggrin:

Huckleberry said:
Why does it have to be one or the other? :biggrin:
I can't respond to that in a PG-13 forum. :blushing:

So I'm pulling into my garage and I see a large armadillo by the walk. Cautiously I walk toward it to take a closer look. Then it runs into the garage and I think into the house, but I can't find him now. Hey, where's Danger been lately!

Oh, I sent him off with some of those nice sailors to explain it to him. He needs more of a male influence around, so I thought it would be good for him to hang around the sailors more. They're teaching him all about tying knots. :approve:

Ive never seen a armadillo up close and personal, I wonder how they do it with all that...wait..it must be the medicine talking, I really don't wonder how they do it..someone should send me to bed.
Well, as I said, the male is VERY well-endowed, but it looked more like trying to reach with a 10-foot pole (okay, maybe it was a 6 inch pole...but considering the size of an armadillo... :bugeye:) rather than getting up close and personal.

I'm looking for more info on armadillos, and found this, which made me laugh the way it was written:
The North American 9-banded armadillo tends to jump straight in the air when surprised, and consequently often smacks itself into the undercarriage of cars passing over it. This is an example of an animal's vestigial reflex made useless, obsolete, and counterproductive by humans.

In mating season, one mating behavior of the male armadillo is to flip himself over in an attempt to win the female's admiration. Occasionally the male armadillo will land on its head, causing no harm but undoubtedly decreasing the chance of a future with the armadilette he's suiting.

The Norweedish word for "armadillo" is "Beltedyr".

Male or female (of course I mean the armadillo, not Danger)? :biggrin:

From what I hear it's easy to tell because he's very well-endowed (of course I mean the male armadillo, not Danger) :biggrin:

Moonbear said:
Owww! I'm not sure if armadillos bite or what they even eat. They were too busy mating to be fed anything. :biggrin:


Armadillos generally eat inverts, mostly soft-bodied, but some insects as well. I'm sure they can bite and probably do. That makes me think of all the people who used to come into the pet store my wife worked at in college and ask "will this animal bite?"- it has a mouth doesn't it? If you don't want to get bit, get some worms. :biggrin: As far as other defense mechanisms for armadillos, I remember reading about a naturalist who caught his first armadillo and upon rolling it over to examine it, he was sprayed with feces , pretty effective defense.

Or did you mean invertebrates??

Yes, I did mean invertebrates. :smile:

Is that a term used to describe homosexuals? I've never heard it, is it local to Norway or European countries? Is it generally an accepted term or does it have any derogatory tone? If so I apologize for any misinterpretation.
 
  • #6,831
It is an old-fashioned word; the common "scientific" term up to the 1950's, when "homosexual" became the preferred word (or at least, the terms where equally common up to that time).
(The term is coupled to the concept of "sexual inversion", so it certainly had a some derogatory content)

However, I can't see how anyone could be offended by your spelling error, although some might be offended by my silly joke..

That's the last time I let you tuck me in! I had nightmares last night! A giant red clam was eating people's heads! (And, no the Freudian implications have not escaped me, but it was still a scary dream; I woke up with my heart racing!)[/size]

It was a male, and as I said he was large. But I thought I saw a quick glitter in the sun as it ran, and thought it even more odd...maybe a zipper? But Danger is back, so I guess it was just my imagination. Seriously, in the U.S. there are no armadillos in Arizona--I believe only in Texas and maybe New Mexico.

BTW, Evo, I keep forgetting to tell you this. I was reading news online and noticed a blip regarding horoscopes and pets that are supposed to be compatible. For Taurus, turtles are considered compatible. Hmmmm...

:eek: That's a nightmare that outstrips Audrey from 'Little Shop of Horrors'! Death is one thing, but decapitation?! :eek:
Yeah, it was a pretty bad one. I sometimes have bad dreams, but I just wake up, realize it was a dream and go back to sleep. This one, I woke up and my heart was pounding, and I had a very hard time relaxing enough to go back to sleep. I've been a tad stressed lately, so I'm guessing it was stress-induced. It would have made a good B-movie. :biggrin:

ROGER! :cry:

Turtles are cool. There was a baby turtle trying to cross a four lane highway the other day, he was halfway across and it was too busy for me to stop. I kept looking in the rearview mirror to see if people were going around him. :frown: I hope he made it.
 
  • #6,839
I just noticed you sleep in a freezer.

That's dangerous you know, its hard to fit in one of those, unless it is a meat freezer.

I can derive several things from the fact that you sleep in a freezer:

a) You don't smoke. At least whilst you are sleeping, because a cigarette would go out rather quickly in a sub-zero environment.

b) You don't bring nitroglycerine into your sleeping environment, the test tubes would become brittle and break at the seemingly slightest touch, plus, because of rapid temperature changes, the nitroglycerine would effectively exploode.

I'm like you about that. I worry about animals trying to cross busy roads. I have heard that you shouldn't carry turtles out of the road because they will just wander back to where they were and continue on. I don't know if that true or not.

Did you hear about the man that complained about the deer crossing sign? He said they should move that sign because it wasn't a safe place for the deer to cross, they keep getting hit there.

:biggrin:

Oh and thanks for your comment on my armadillo song. I thought you would like that whole exchange. :biggrin:

I have found the most effective thing to do is move them off the road towards the direction they are headed. That's where they want to go, whether its to lay some eggs or return from such activities, and you usually can't convince them otherwise, so facilitate them. Frogs, on the other hand, are a different matter, they just seem to like the road. I went out with my son and his grandfather last night during a nice, warm, rain and the road was littered with frogs. Unfortunately most were hit :frown: , but we captured several including a gray tree frog, a spring peeper, and bullfrog and two american toads. I'll post some pictures next week.

A mathematician wandered home at 3 AM. His wife became very upset, telling him, "You're late! You said you'd be home by 11:45."
The mathematician replied, "I'm right on time. I said I'd be home by a quarter of twelve."

It's me and only me who has been here every day of this thread's life, taking care of it, nurturing it, raising it into a strong, healthy thread. Nobody gets to kill this thread but me. I've put too much effort into it to let someone else take the credit now.

Now everyone out! I have some work to take care of here! :devil:
