Yeah but you could never pet or hold a furry star.

in your studies you ever find a way to travel through a balck hole and travel back in time let me know. I would love to go back to the wild west and not have to worry about car trouble. I could just hop on my high horse and gallop off into the sun set.

That's all fine for me, but I'd go even further back and make myself the most powerful City-State Overlord west of the Mighty Mississippi.

I've been to one of those in Colorado. It was a bug exhibit, our something like that. A couple landed on me and my sister (Pippin); and there was a separate section for the larvae that you could see. Then I held a tarantula name Rosie in my hands...

Cool! What exactly is this zoo anyway? Or was it even a zoo, or only the bug exhibit? Butterflies are cool! They (sometimes) stay still for photographs, they'll land right on you and stay there (or you can pick them up without harming them if you know how), they'll not hide in the bushes like other animals (at least not to hide from you: they probably don't even notice you for the most part), and they are so cool looking. Too bad most species (excluding Monarchs) will only live several weeks at most.

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 03-02-2006, 11:08 PM

You know I have no problem with snakes or any reptile, and most bugs don't bother me, but for some reason spiders freak me out.

I can't stand them. Everyone laughs at me, " Your a guy, your not suppose to be scared of spiders your suppose to kill them." Yeah well if i can squash em with a long pole I will but I'm not getting close to one. Wonder if Shelob played a part in this phobia?

It wasn't a zoo. Just a bug exhibit. Except spiders aren't bugs. Hmmm. Oh, well. Can't remember the name of it, though. It's been almost 6 years!

Don't worry Captain. I'm not too fond of spiders myself. Hence, I squish them with a piece of toilet paper and flush them down the toilet!

I knew that...(They're not!?

It's okay. I'm terrefied of any insects, and none of my experiences with them have helped. Like the big moth that "attacked" my shirt at Lake Shasta, who's wings I could hear flapping. I almost fell off the top of the houseboat trying to get away from it.

Ditto. Pippin makes me kill them if she searches one out in her room.

TB: Spiders are part of their own species called arachnids. I kinda-sorta-ish know something about spiders. Discovery Channel does that to you, as does Spider-Man.

I just swat em on the floor and yell for my dog who eats em up.

She finds them tasty and loves when i find a big juicy one. It's strange I don't like spiders and yet Spider-Man is my favorite super hero. Go figure.

The Discovery channel! Oh, how is my beloved Discovery channel? I don't beleive we have that package with our cable

--wait...what cable?

Oh! I remember now...just that they have their own category, that is. Been a long time since I've heard that term.

**Nurvingiel** · 03-02-2006, 11:38 PM

Arachnids are a class in the phylum Arthropoda (Arthropods), they aren't a species. </entymology geek>

I'm going to keep working on the Cafe drawing, post #7000 is fast approaching!

^ that face is just too scared. Poor little buddy.

LOL!
I love that word! Now part of my daily vocabulary:
...double-standards, etymology, exactly (w/ know-it-all tone), innuendo, phylum, quantum mechanics...

I knew that!
I love the little fella!

My cat sometimes chases flies or spiders and then eats them. But he's getting old, now.

I know, his eyes just bug out. But he's cool anyway.

I'm referring to a smilie as a he. What's wrong, here?

*finally starts on frappachino that I asked for a couple days ago* Mmm...

I don't suppose that Frappuchino is any good, don't want you dying of food poisoning...*knocks out health inspector and makes another*

**Nurvingiel** · 03-03-2006, 12:53 AM

Hey, are you trying to say our kitchen isn't food safe?

I don't like your attitude buddy.

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 03-03-2006, 01:02 AM

Health Inspector-I have found the kitchen to be a Health Hazard not only to humans but.....

*hits health inspector with a large salmon then lays it on counter*

Can i get this fried up please. With a side of butter thanx.

**Nurvingiel** · 03-03-2006, 01:08 AM

People being hit with fish is funny on so many levels.

If you're prepared to put a raw fish on my counters, that suggests you have a firm belief that my kitchen is spotless, which it, of course, is.

I'd be happy to bake that salmon for you.

*cleans fish, stuffs it, bakes it, and serves with a side of melted butter even though that sounds kind of gross to me*

I mean, a lobster sure, bring forth the melted garlic butter, but a salmon? Ewww.

Lotesse · 03-03-2006, 01:14 AM

*rolls out Teacup's state-of-the-art barbecue grill* How about grilled, Faramir? There's no need to grill salmon with butter, though; there's already loads of lovely omega-3 fatty acids and natural fish oils in the salmon already. Butter's kind of overkill. *Grills the expertly filleted salmon, finishes it with little slice of lemon, hands plate to Farimir*

Oh - but there's THIS if you crave the butter! *produces freshly baked loaf of french bread, and gives to Farimir with a block of pure Irish butter.*

*puts barbecue grill away, disappears again*
