Just for Ralph Sir Edward...

Duh!!

Where's gibbon, BTW?

what ??? no multi-choice ????

Duck.

yes, if you're going to leave off duck AND gibbon you should at least have included an "other" option.

(and still no multi-choice...)

(and still no multi-choice...)

Still.

If they would just make a moderator, then I'd edit it to include the highly unlikely choices of duck and gibbon. Until then, we can only sit and hope for divine intervention from someone with moderator super powers.

"moderator" is actually a different species.

I'm a human, but sometimes I wish I were a dump truck. I notice that we don't have any vegetables participating yet, which make sense since their brains would be too enfeebled to allow them to go through the motions of voting in the poll.

I am definitely a dog, albeit an old one with a long pedigree (being very very jewish...)

I iz lolcatz. Bring fodz!

I had to choose vegetable....I felt sorry for them. They had zero votes. Hopefully, I will be able to select the type. Leaving me with another dilemma....which type????:rohard:

huh. so no-one has chosen Nominal, or Squirrel. the last one worries me a bit ; we know they've infiltrated the forums, so if they're not voting they must be in stealth mode, incognito-like. low profile, you know ? that can't be good.

What makes you say that?

I do declare that the thing I loved and laughed at the most about the above is that our good friend, moz, went back in to edit it afterwards. Because of its relatively succinct content, I have an image in my head of moz continuing to make changes and hitting the "Preview Post" button, trying to get the blend of colours just right.

Ya gotta love that. That's what you call true dedication to the Aesthetics of Silliness.

In preview links can be formatted, but in the body of the thread the formatting is lost. So my attempt to use links for extra silliness just messed everything up.

In compensation, here's a link to John Scalzi's silliness (http://scalzi.com/whatever/?p=914)

moz, if it's any consolation, i laughed at your post even without the links. but for future reference, actually i think links *can* be formatted, if you put the formatting tags *inside* the url tags.

just in case you had the urge to be silly with links in the future, you understand.

In the "Similar Threads" feature at the bottom of the page are three listings for Harvard Classics Volume 11 (in three formats LRF, PRC, and IMP) which contains Charles Darwin's Origin of the Species as well as the stand alone version of the same book in LRF.

thank heaven that's sorted. we're having enough trouble with the hedgehogs.

Hedgehogs are no problem whatsoever. In fine Australian tradition, the way to handle them is to introduce a natural predator species, a la Cane Toads and Rabbits. I think Badgers will work.

Since I note that the answer to the Karma Question is the introduction of badgers for spatial achievements, then I fail to see the problem.

Seriously .... :)

Me, as a hedgehog, standing in the library at my home in SL. And, yes, all the books link to PG books.

The hedgehogs (or "hedgies" as they are known in SL) are best friends with the dragons. So, in SL ... you insult a hedgie with a very real risk of being burned to a crisp.

It's an odd place ... but very addictive.

What is SL?

Where's "None of the above"?

What is SL?
yes, what *is* SL ??

What is SL?

Oh .... sorry, I just assumed .... sorry ... sorry.

SL is short for "Second Life." It is an online multi-user "game" (of sorts ... it's not really a game, per se, it is more whatever you want it to be).

Anyway, it's free to sign up and play, although if you get a paid in account it is easier to do things and go places in the game.

You can pretty much be whatever you want and do whatever you want in the game. There are areas that are devoted to particular types of literature, or to war games, or to science and education. Some of the universities have "islands" in the game ... and they actually conduct classes there.

People from all over the world play (so purchasing a translator can be a must if you like to wander around "the world"). Some major cities have islands ... the ones for Venice and Paris are especially nice. I recently base jumped off of the Eiffel Tower .... loads of fun.

In the game (in case any of you around here play) my name is Igraine McMillan. I have a furniture store, and a lovely home out on a private island ... complete with swimming pool and a dog ("Riley"). This last winter, I purchased a weather machine, made it show on my island and froze the pond so I could have a skating party. That's me in my human form, practicing my skating prior to the party.

i thought you said you were a hedgehog ?? i'm so confused. or is it *you* who are confused ??

Shhh... We try not to talk about that.

My favorite spot to read is an outdoor cafe just off of St. Mark's Square in Venice. It's quiet in the mornings .... very peaceful.

Yeah ... yeah, I know .... you can all laugh your asses off now. :D

Oh, great. Another way to spend all my time avoiding work.

i thought you said you were a hedgehog ?? i'm so confused. or is it *you* who are confused ??

Some days I'm a hedgehog ... some days a cat ... sometimes I'm human, or a dragon. It sort of depends on where I'm going and what I want to do.

For example, if they are having dragon riding contests over in the areas where the "Dragon Riders of Pern" is the major theme ... then I'll turn into a dragon, put on my saddle, grab a human rider and go off to burn threads.

Or, if I just want to roll down a few hills ... I become a hedgehog. One time ... I became an anthropomorphic cat with wings and flew around London ... just for giggles. I've even been a Martian and flown a flying saucer.

You are whatever your imagination makes you. It's that sort of place.

Oh, great. Another way to spend all my time avoiding work.

i thought you had finally abandoned all pretense of working ?

I used to spend a ton of time in Second Life. Now I live in a place with pretty poor internet service, and the lag is too annoying. So I spend all my time at Mobilread instead. :D

In SL, I'm "Nekokami Dragonfly." Usually my avatar looks more-or-less like me in RL ("real life"). Or so I've been told by people who've met me first in SL and then were able to recognize me on meeting me in RL....

I never had a cat avatar, though. I was trying to work out how to build one back when I was in SL a lot, and never finished the project. Did you build or buy yours?

Sorry I couldn't meet you, neko-neko-chan-chan. Maybe next time. Based on the results of this trip, I suspect I'll be in CT frequently. I look exactly like my avatar.

I bought mine and then modified it. I am much better at building furniture than I am at avatars. My human avatar looks like me about 30 years ago. But then, I'm constantly changing my hair color or skin color to suit my mood.

I will have to look for you ingame (although I'm not on as much as I used to be). That is the nice thing about having between 4-6 screens hooked up to the PC at any time. I can be having a conversation in SL and hanging out here at the same time.

Yes, 4-6 screens. Usually only four, but there are times that I set up an additional two. A lot of my work demands me seeing more than one electronic document at a time, and trying to page between them and keep everything straight is a major pain in the arse.

They always want to know "the point" of the game. How you "win." They are very upset when they here there IS NO point, and no one "wins." The game is whatever you want it to be.

In an odd coincidence, from my top balcony if I look south-east I look over to Lake Weyba (which drains north by Weyba creek into Noosa River). "Weyba" is an indigenous word that is either stated to mean "place of stingrays", which makes sense since it is, well, a place of stringrays, but could also purportedly mean "place of the flying squirrels", which to me is a totally bizarre suggestion in light of Australia having no squirrel population, Rocky-esque or otherwise.

Sugargliders are an entirely different matter, of course.

Oh, I don't know. I mean, as much as many of us Aussies would like to think otherwise, Australia's real underbelly is alive with scary beasts and a squirming darkness that would drive any sane man or woman insane, and any insane man or woman onto prime time American television (see Steve Irwin...oooo, scary stingray segue). So, while the world gets polarised behind stories of good versus squirrel, the justly named Tasmanian Devil's boiling blood soup of a brain sees "covert squirrel operative" and says to himselves "ARGLLLGARRGLLLLLLAJKKKLLLLSSSSSFFGGGG[CHOMP!]Mmm, tasty spyARRFFFSSSSFFLLLLSFFFFGGGGGGLLLL".

Well, I cannot doubt The Great Squirrel, but quantum mechanics and superstrings tell me my point is smeared across a significant and infinite number of points and into many squiggly (rather than sqirrelly) dimensions, and so his purpose must likewise be shared amongst an infinite number of puppetmasters jerking and playing tug of war with my destinies. I am just a poor wayang kulit casting transient shadows on a cotton screen and waiting for the oil lamp to be dropped in the holy ruckus, setting the whole lot ablaze.

...all of them in my area, including the dolphins and the sea-birds and parrots and the honeyeaters and the kookaburras and the cute little possums and the koalas and the shiny fish that swim 'round your feet in the surf and the garden spiders as big as the palm of your hand with webs a couple of meters across and the 1.5 metre long goannas and the 2-metre Brown Snakes and the 3 metre bullsharks in the river and creek...hello...hello...is this thing on? ("I think you lost them at "spiders"")...oh.

Cheers,
Marc

You know...you're a bit silly. ;)Naaah, totally not possible ;)

I actually have no problems with spiders ;)

that's what we like about the little not-hedgehog. :p

oh and you can rest easy : your talk of giant man-eating spiders has guaranteed that i will not be appearing on your doorstep as an uninvited houseguest, despite the google map which would allow me to locate you (that was you right ? in the bottom left corner ? i recognized the propellor beanie).

Repeat transmission

Aardvaark ...

Krav dra?
Graf Dra? Graf=count/earl
Graf Dracula!

He's a vampire! And like other bats hanging from the ceiling.

Still no squirrels. I think the Squirrel Thread has captured the lot of them.

Lake Weyba is the one south of Noosa Heads. There's a couple more lakes to the north as well.



I think something went skewiff in translation, ;) but I'm sure we can stir up something reasonable analogous. Also, humpbacks and sea turtles.

I zoomed in as close as I could get, but didn't see you. Start waving, would ya?

i suspect the squirrels all responded "that's a personal question". after all, we've established that at least the majority of them are in Cognito (Italy).

just look for the propellor beanie. that's how i found him.

Never mind. tried showing where I live using the same thing as Marc, but ended up indicating I live in Australia.

I suppose if you burrowed straight through, then we'd be close.

Unfortunately, Google maps doesn't have that level of zoom.

i was just about to tell you to go outside and check the orientation of the satellite camera, but apparently you've already noticed.

;) ;)

Oh, they're garden spiders. They won't hurt you. They're too busy battling the large solitary wasps and hornets for control of the garden.

despite the google map which would allow me to locate you (that was you right ? in the bottom left corner ? i recognized the propellor beanie).

...and no undies (though Google Maps probably doesn't have that level of zoom).

Hold on....okay, go out now. There's no propellor beanie that you'll see, but you'll be surprised by the middle-of-the-day full "moon" getting between the earth and the satellite.

Marc

human still the best

Umm.....Panda? Not even a "Pandorg"? Embaressing

WHAT?? I cry discrimination!! Where is the penguin choice??

*grumbles* just because I'm late to the thread doesn't mean I am not my own species!

Huh?

Shouldn't "Endangered" be on this list? ;)

There's not enough of them to bother.......

Did I say "Hippo"?
