Digital photo by Jonathan Ernst/Reuters - Mother cheetah Zazi and her five cubs, born April 14, parade for the media at the National Zoo in Washington June 24, 2005. The new cheetah cubs, the second litter to be born at the zoo since November, will go on public display starting June 25.
Cubs are so cute. I know someone who has a wolf, like a domesticated dog. But he has to constantly control it when out and about. Though a beautiful animal, it is still fundamentally wild.

Awww... big kiities are cute.
If I were to domesticate a wild animal for a pet though I think I would prefer a penguin. A macaroni penguin.

Is that like a non-vegetarian version of macaroni cheese?

I guess it could be... but they're too cute to eat. I'm a member of PETA, and thurouhly against the eating of cute animals. :-p

Cheetahs make good pets, and so do leopards, but one needs plenty of wide open space and game.

Today is yard/garden work - I have to move my shed about 40 feet into the back yard, and slightly up hill - which will be fun since it weighs about 300 lbs. The neighbor doesn't like it, because her son-in-law complained about it. She (or rather he) is worried about impact on property value. Anyway, although we seem to be in compliance with zoning laws, I will move it so as not to cause undue distress on the part of our neighbor.

Besides, I get to hack away at more rock - :biggrin:

This evening I will be in a play - short part - two lines at the end. My character is a bank robber. :cool:

Oh, I see a tea party going on. I won't be able to attend since I am all hot and sweaty - and besides - I have never been socially acceptable at such gatherings - it's the wild dog in me. :biggrin:

TTFN

Are they planning on selling soon? Otherwise, what relevance could it possibly have to property values? It would only affect a property adjacent or in view of it, and unless it's some unsightly, rusted metal thing, I can't see why it should affect property values at all. Tell her if the property value goes down, she'll pay less in taxes. :biggrin: People complain about the dumbest things. :rolleyes:

I was watching a program about domestic animals and the theory that they evolved to be attractive to humans as a survival tactic. After all, there are many examples of this in nature--plants dependant on insects, and visa versa, etc. When an animal greets you with cheerful and cute ways, it does make one wonder. But I also don't have much appetite for ugly creatures either. Hmmm...

As for the property value and taxes, the assessed value bears little relationship to the market value. Our house was assessed at a higher value than the market value for years, and we could not get it lowered. Finally, after improvements, the market value is way more than the assessed value. On the other hand, our taxes have doubled - thanks to Bush's tax cuts. We now pay a state medicaid tax (about $2000 / yr), which is new.

Our neighbor has been talking about selling her house for several years, but then she is worried about where to live and how much it will cost. Her son-in-law probably wants the house himself. He simply likes to complain about whatever. The house probably needs work - it had a bad flooding problem several years ago when we had a large amount of snow on the ground then several days of warm weather and several inches of rain.

I thought the usual amount. He must have snuck some.

Eels are ugly yet tasty. :-p
That's definitely interesting. I'm thinking that it would revolve mainly around breeding by humans. Naturally what ever traits are most desirable to humans are going to be passed on among their domesticated pets. As domestic animals they no longer are part of the same cycle of natural selection they had been and so the traits most favorable would become more asthetic than utilitarian. Ofcourse they are still utilitarian in a sense though, as much as an animal being attractive to it's mate is...
:rolleyes: I'll stop being boring now. :biggrin:
I have a friend who loves cows. She thinks that they are adorable but she still loves to eat their meat.
I'd imagine the poor Chows were pretty peeved when the Empire fell and they became more desirable for the meat on their bones than they were for being pretty hunting dogs. Maybe that's why they're so mean.

---edit---

You people are getting me addicted to smileys! :devil:

It's okay, most bars are slow on Monday nights. If it weren't for the few regulars who come in, we'd just close for cleaning on Mondays (everything except the men's room...under Brewnog's management, we're not allowed to clean in there, and while we're not sure that's a good idea, we're all too afraid to go into find out if it needs cleaning or not ).
 
  • #348
I really want a bahama yomamma right now...
 
  • #349
Being a Monday night, I think I'll have a Yomamma's Milk.
 
  • #350
i'm too young to drink :cry:
 
  • #351
yomamma's milks are alchohol free and you'll love it as long as you don't ask about the secret ingredient.

also, there's a bahama yomamma, a blended fruit drink. the secret ingredient in that was concocted by danger, astronuc, and me, so you're not really sure if what you're drin king is something you've ever heard of.

aside from that, they're great!

You're still welcome to play darts or pool. The dartboard was moved outside though after a few too many accidents...I think you have to play while on water skis. :rolleyes: The Bahama Yomamma and Yomamma's Milk are both excellent drinks for those who are age-challenged. :approve:
 
  • #357
oh, fake ID's are in that bin over there. there's at least 10,000, so one is bound to look like you.

where's SOS?

I apologize for the dartboard incident! zoobyshoe just happened to be in the way, my eyes just happened to be closed, and I just happened to be on a bike, okay!? all of it was because of a bet that just happened

You can try, but we have the latest technology around here. We determine age with a quick test to determine telomere length. You can't fool that with a fake ID. :approve:
 
  • #360
my telomeres are so divided that danger's age could not top them.

I did it with a blowdryer and an ice pick. (use your imagination)
