omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

right now, I really REALLY hate ND.

Fucker clicks the spider link and asks me to look at his screen. HATE HIM!

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

Let us know when he starts calling you Clarice.

I also took the time to make sure I blew one of the pictures up to full screen size.

Doesn't he know sheep are better (according to NoiseDesign)??

Better for what, she asked, say no more say no more.

I think it's the feral pigs that like to attack people that Hubby was thinking of. The north shore of the Big Island in the 70s sounds like a perfect place for a pre-adolescent boy, something to kill or eat you around every corner! (He has a scar on his side from when he got sideswiped by a tiger shark when he was out in the surf annoying the local wildlife. How he survived to adulthood I do not know.)

He was raised by Holtz?

He wants to know what the most psychotropic thing is in Australia. We've got jimson and peyote and such here in Utah, and he figures God must have been tripping on something to create Australia. He mentioned echidnas in his list of thingies, but I warned him not to maligned the echidna.

Oddly enough, this is one area of natural history in which you would have better luck with one of my brothers. There is an alkaloid substance, pituri, used by the Aborigines prior to European sttlement.

So far, Echidnas have only been demonstrated to produce a euphoric effect in, well, me.

Anyway, so the message I'm getting is that insectile is a good direction to take my fiendish nightmare lord of madness.

Ann, that's a ferret.

As many cheapo horror B movies as there are about giant bugs, insectile is always a good way to bring out the squeamish in people.

Me, I don't get too grossed out by bugs unless they're swarming. (I even creep out Hubs sometimes because I tend to trap some bugs -- especially crickets and spiders -- that wander into the house, and release them outdoors.) But, to bring the conversation full circle, cephalopods are the stuff of my nightmares.
