I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Being keel-hauled doesn't kill zombie pirate monkeys

Advantage zombie pirate monkey, surely.

All it needs is clown ninja robot and it would encompass all nodes of the humanoid comedy paradigm.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This is my experience as well. Bunnies held by humans from bunny-infancy can be very cuddly, or at least calm. Adult bunnies learning to be held, OTOH, kick hard.

The calmest rabbits I ever met were angoras -- you could hold them in your lap and spin angora yarn right off their backs (combing the hair out, not pulling it).

I just watched last night's Daily Show. I * heart * Calvin Trillin.

Do pet bunnies like being held and petted?

My friend's pet bunny, Georgia seemed to enjoy it. She would snuggle on the sofa with him all the time.

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.

I'm living the lesson.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

IOSmallPetN,

My best friend had a chinchilla, and it was an excellent pet. Also in the no-pets-apartment-pet category, they do adorable little things (rolling in dust always got the OMG!cute reaction from onlookers), and at least the one that he had liked being held and would scale humans like they're giant jungle gyms.

Bun-buns are awesome too, though.
