Okay, so what species are you?

I wont make it tonight (its 1 AM where I live) but I'm looking forward

Fish-hog? Sounds promising!
Alternatively you could take a fish and plug a hedge-tail on it: pincushion-tail-fish.

i want a t-shirt that says that. i'm going to add it to my list.

Arent badges something worn on the coat? How could they ever be a problem for hedgehogs or not-hedgehogs even when written with an additional 'R'?

badgers ??? we don't need no steeenkeen badgers !!!

in today's news, scientists claim to have pierced age-old evolutionary secrets, and strange new creatures recently discovered (in australia) shed new light on theories of alien fauna populating the region. full story at eleven.

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.

Cheers,

if you don't know about them, it's just because they are covert squirrel operatives.

have you noticed any characters who look like this :



if the answer is yes, say nothing, act casual... whatever you do, if you value your life and your sanity (and your gibbon) don't point and stare and shout out "they're here !!! they're heeeeeeere !!"

[zelda_pinwheel]

oh, and there's no such thing as coincidence. The Great Squirrel has made sure you wound up at precisely that point, for some undisclosed greater purpose.

Not speaking as a not-hedgehog I totally agree.

Thats when a base jumps

Its past Eleven!

You have salt-water-lakes?
I really have to go to Australia one day. A place where you can see flying squirrel-rays swimming unter water? Count me in!

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".

Mad don't care 'bout good or bad.

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.

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.

Ohoh, the Tasmanian Devil didnt want to spread knowledge 'bout that action!

Mebbe some bits fliped? After all its quite a long way and you never know if they did the curve to tight. If the electron is too fast (with todays broadband-speed quite likely) they could fly out of the curve. A 0 could very fast be squished into a 1 like that!

but I'm sure we can stir up something reasonable analogous. Also, humpbacks and sea turtles.

Now your just putting salt in the wound. I really love to dive, I only saw stingrays once - and I do like them. And sea turtles ... Not to talk about whales ...
Okay, by. I have to start earning more money, the flight could get expensive. CU

...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.

I actually have no problems with spiders

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

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).
