Now you're gonna ruin The Origin of Species for everyone.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

I think I should start a religion....
Where do monkeys on rollerskates fall on the soul/no-soul axis? This is of paramount importance.
The interesting thing to me isn't "Animals act just like people!" but "People act just like animals!" It's all a matter of emphasis.
I was just pointing out to a colleague, also a recent father, the other day that having a preschooler in the house is an important lesson to anyone who thinks that humans are intrinsically different from primates.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He couldn't possibly understand the curse! Poor zombie monkey.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse!
Also, maybe he did. Why should he get a free pass?
Was it here (generally speaking) that the hierarchy of intimacy of modes of communication was discussed? Something like text messaging being most intimate...but I can't remember the other modes that were on the list. I seem to recall it totalling three...but were the other two e-mail and instant messaging, or e-mail and phone?

Is it harder being a zombie pirate monkey than just being a pirate monkey?
Being keel-hauled doesn't kill zombie pirate monkeys.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Zombie pirate monkeys. All it needs is clown ninja robot and it would encompass all nodes of the humanoid comedy paradigm.

Advantage zombie pirate monkey, surely.

That's what sequels are for!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In other words, we were forbidden to adopt a cat because they considered our environment to have a higher risk of sudden death than one afforded to an indoor kitty, but they were going to destroy the cat in another week's time.
Jesus. Grrr.

Think of it as a metaphor for US environmental policy.

I had a lot of questions about the monkey in Pirates of the Caribbean. He couldn't possibly understand the curse! Poor zombie monkey.
That was clearly an evil monkey.
Also he seemed to be having a pretty good time.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Do pet bunnies like being held and petted?
In my extremely limited experience of 3 pet bunnies, one acquired immediately after weaning and the other two as adults passed on from an indifferent previous home, they can. If you get them when they're very wee, handle them a lot, and make anyone who happens to stop by handle them too, they -- well, who the hell knows what goes on in their tiny brains and whether they actually like being held and petted, but they certainly come to expect it and tolerate it. And once they expect it and tolerate the holding, they generally enjoy the petting. My gotten-when-wee bunny was a chin-and-cheek-skritching slut.
In conclusion, bunny bunny bunny. And also bunny.
