Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Awesome book cover!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Allyson's cover

Squee!!!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Probably not top ten, but a valiant effort?

Ooh! Lucky 13.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

YAY Ginger, and Allyson's cover. I am going to have to replace the old, less good that is up on my office wall.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay cover! Maybe I'm the only one, and that would be too bad, since I don't really need to be sold on it, but the Fresca comparision alone would make me buy it right away!!

Hooray for cover!

Because books.

Wow! That's a great cover -- I like it even more than the one I saw a while back. Yay Allyson!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

New thread! good name?

Most excellent!

ION, Matilda: still cute. Also, very intently working on her wry and quizzical faces. Which just makes the cute more unbearable.

eta: Rocking cover, and such tasty blurbs!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

If you could be any species of penguin, which would you be? Besides Emperor.

Biyi already calls me an emperor penguin (dìwáng qĭ’é, or 'supreme ruler of geese standing on tiptoe, if anyone's interested), so I repudiate your restriction. But who'd want to be one anyway? Is winter in Antarctica that attractive? King penguins get most of the glory and better living conditions. Of course, I'd probably go with Adelie, who also do the Antarctica thing, but they're awfully cute.

Or else those penguins with the weird colored feathers sticking out of their heads.

Rockhopper, macaroni, royal, snares, erect-crested. I think fjordland too.

Fairy penguin? That's a kind right?

Yup, and can be seen on Phillip Island a couple of hours' drive south of Melbourne. Now strictly called the little penguin, or blue penguin in New Zealand.

Full list: emperor, king, gentoo, adelie, little/fairy/blue, chinstrap, jackass/African/black-footed, Magellanic, Humboldt's, Galapagos, rockhopper, macaroni, royal, snares, erect-crested, fjordland, yellow-eyed.
