Ann, that's a ferret.

I need one of a stick figure human and a whole bunch of stick figure cats.

As much as I dislike the stick figure family trend, I did get a kick out of one that showed dad, mom, two kids (one of each, I think), and four cats.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You've really never seen these, tommy? They were all over the place a few years ago. Drive me up the wall, especially with names and pets. I don't want to know. Hush.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, names especially is Not A Good Idea.

I did see one that apparently included a stick iguana that made me snorfle.

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

You've really never seen these, tommy?

Oh, I might have seen that once or twice.

I haven't been driving much in recent years.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Wouldn't you have to do scrapings every few years with Baby, Youth and Teenager (possibly also adult).

That just draws attention to the fact your SUV is not new.

Oh, I want a "Flux Capacitor on Board" sign. Which reminds me of an idea I had to make a Flux Capacitor (including flashing lights) for my bike....

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

There actually was a point to Baby On Board signs. It was to prevent a tragedy like the one that happened to a neighbor (decades ago). They were in a crash, with an infant and were rescued unconscious. The rescue workers did not know to look for an infant, and so infant was looked for and the body recovered only after they regained consciousness in the hospital. I don't if they are still needed. With modern infant car seats, and baby toys scattered around most cars with infants probably will provide rescue workers with enough clues. But I'm still not sure it is a bad idea. And yeah it is irritating, and most people with those signs probably are not thinking about that anyway.
