Ummmmm .... noticed what? I notice that your nose is red -- but maybe it has always been red. That's the thing about not being able to look at previous posts to see the previous avatar!

But what else are we supposed to notice ..... ??
Neko-chan noticed. Obviously no-one else wants any more chocolate...

This one is Oscar, the brother to Pepper (my previous AV, alas he is no more, except in our memories).

Whereas "Miaow! Miaow! Miaow!" translates to "I wash myself in my own spit". [nods to Terry Pratchett]

Ever wonder why there are dog-catchers?
Why dogs should have a licence?
Why dogs have to be taken out in public only on a lead?
Why dog trainers teach dog owners that the dog is the lowest member of the pack?


So cats can reign supreme....

Huh!? You fib! You're not flabbergasted at all. You'd be disappointed if I was any less disdainful.

Personally, I like both - they each have their interesting qualities which I do not anthropomorphise into a hierarchical structure (unless they're sitting on my chair, in which case I realise that I'm the runt of the litter and go sit somewhere else).

Gibbons are good (and by "good" I don't wish to impose human value systems on another species but merely apply it by way of subjective pleasure and admiration at the way Adrian the invisible and inadvertently violent gibbon gets pleasure pulling wings off angels).

Cheers,
Marc

What kind of an ughly place do you live in? Don't you like concrete man? It's the only place you can decently concentrate on reading. You need to switch environment... and fast.
