And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Raise your hand if you were disappointed cheetah isn't on this list:

These people don't seem to understand that most of the chimpanzees they've seen on TV are babies and a full adult Chimp is strong enough to pull your arm completely off.

People are WAY too confident about beating a goose unarmed. Those fuckers are MEAN.

Well, they did rate geese more vicious than eagles.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Notice they didn't include SWANS. Vicious and strong.

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

Ethan got some 90210 swag today (because Paramount+, I think?) and Dylan saw it and asked, "What's ninety-two-ten?" and anyway I am now dead of old age.

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

Ouch

That which does not kill you should RUN

"What's ninety-two-ten?"

That makes my heart hurt.

Back to the which-animal-could-you-beat-in-a-fight poll, I'm most fascinated by the gender-flipped responses to Lion, which is apparently the only animal more intimidating to men than women!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

The older sister of o e of my highschool friends didn’t know what The Peach Pit was, just recently when I referenced it. So 90210 too young for old olds and too old for younguns.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yeah, I didn't watch 90210. But it's in the cultural gestalt enough that I recognize it.

Why do 6% of Americans think they can beat a grizzly in a fight? Are these the same people who think they can fight the US military with a handgun?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

People are WAY too confident about beating a goose unarmed. Those fuckers are MEAN.

Seriously, though.

We think they are cats?

Yes.

Oh noooooooooo.

heh ... a few years ago I was at the doctor's (I go to a teaching hospital for periodic blood pressure checks and prescription renewals, which don't require a high level of knowledge) and I asked the young doctor if, since I'd had measles when I was three, was I still immune. She looked at me in total astonishment and had to go ask her supervising physician who, I assume, either knew (being used to us oldies) or could look it up.
