[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I shouldn't laugh about packing and ADD but it's kinda distracting me from still needing to unpack from last week.

Ooh, you need msbelle!

Here's Instant Boss, which I just reinstalled today on my new computer, a fact that just may be related to my increased productivity today.

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

It's sounds weird, possum fur, but they are warm and soft and not itchy.

Bear in mind that Australian possums are not closely related to New World opossums. They're more closely related to kangaroos. (See, for instance, the pic on this page: [link] This is a brushtail, the species that was introduced into NZ.)

Thrive to spite them

I thought it was a little different.

Our opposums are NOT that pretty.

Here in the neighborhood, they are all fangs and attitude. Not pleasant at all.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Packing and ADD do not mix. At all.

Oh god. I've been stressing about packing for my trip next weekend for two weeks.

Of course, the website I linked to is for a pest control company. Our possums are prettier, but they're no more welcome in suburban areas.

My favourite of the New World opossums is the yapok. It's the world's only aquatic marsupial. (There's no room for an aquatic marsupial in Australia, because the platypus already occupies that niche.) Not only can the female seal her pouch completely watertight (allowing it to keep feeding without the young drowning), but it's the only marsupial in which the male has a pouch too. Not just a pouch, but a posing pouch. It tucks its genitalia in the pouch when it dives, presumably to stay streamlined and avoid getting its dangly bits entangled.

Man! That's some evolutionary efficiency right there!

Reminds me of those minivans where the seats tuck into the floor. Genius!

Huh. I wonder if the car designers took a page out of the aquatic marsupial book?

Art Crawl!!!

Billytea - how cool. I have never heard of the yapok before.

Going on vacation is kind of horrible. Well, vacation is fine, but it's the period leading up to it that's hell. We are planning a vacation for late June/early July, and Tim is already stressed about it.
