It's not just that, compared to you, we walk upside down constantly.

EDIT: Oh hey, I just started DuckaDucka's third page. How is the little fellow? It's getting late here in WA so you've had plenty of time to post pics.

Fluffy animal = EEEAATT!! omnomnom

It seems to provide some sort of substitute for a primitive hunting instinct or something. Or a compensation for repressed masculinity which is perceived as only redeemable by shooting and roasting said fluffy.

not being a psychoanylist I can't be sure.

Maybe these posters are simply repressed Frenchmen
or maybe they are labradors. Labs have to eat everything they possibly can!


Nah bro, I'd probably take pretty good care of a duckling if I found a little loner one. I was just straight trollin' yo.

Nah, just that once. I couldn't help myself. I actually have two happy cats, live with another cat, and three domesticated rats. I love small fuzzy cute thingies.


I just love bacon too.

Rats make good pets.
My daughter had a couple of them.
They obviously don't mind 2 happy cats and a (miserable ?) one

Back by poular demand! DuckaDucka! lets hope these pics work? he's well if you're interested, a workmate released him with other ducks when it warmed up outside mid morning, he was quite a confident little fellow and apparently just ran off towards them! so happy days! now my partner keeps calling me the Duck whisperer!

i'll try and throw the pics up (i'm not real good yet)

hopefully this will appease all those animal lovers that wanted to see the cute little guy (he's a heart melter isn't he) and hopefully Mr Mystery has forgotten about him!

YAY DUKKADUKKA!

Glad to hear he made it ok.

And I just realised... Baby Duckling is terribly redundant.

Yep he was fine, and i'm proud to say it was because of me and my Dakka friends! it was minus one celsius and he was slow and shivering but he was full of confidence when he left his little home!

Oh cool, he's got a racing stripe on his head. Cutest duck I've seen in a while now.

The racing stripe was well earned too! he jumped off the desk at about 4:30am and ran from my office through the door and the door to the showroom was open and in he went little legs pumping madly! i'm glad he couldn't get on stage but damn he was quick!

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

Indeed they do, but the cage sometimes gets smelly.

I just typed strangely due to tiredness, I meant to say that there's three very happy cats (especially now that it's spring) but only two of them are mine.

Also, duckaducka is adorable, and I hereby apologise for telling you to eat him.

I have a good update on DuckaDucka! I worked afternoon shift yesterday and i was doing my usual walk around the property and happened by the lake, when I saw a white mother duck followed by about 6 fluffy yellow ducklings...and right at the back was our very own DuckaDucka! I could tell because he is a dirty yellow with a racing stripe on his little head, so it appears another mother duck has taken our little fellow under her wing! hopefully I can take some pics as he grows! what a champ he is!

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

I rescue animals sometimes. I currently have an ex-wild mouse.

Nice ending to your story.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

I had this girlfriend once, rescued animals. She rescued wild rodents too.

Then she picked up all their diseases and I stopped dating her, due to the fact that she was a skaven.

True story.

Didn't look after it very well if it's an ex-wild mouse

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

She's ex-wild, but still very much a mouse.

I rescued her three times from the same cat, well I did twice, the first and third time, my father the second time.

Third time she lost a third of her tail and was very shocked, looked after her. Now she is my cute pet mouse, and very healthy.

I noticed this mouse because her mannerisms were rather odd. Even while caught by the cat she would preen and wash herself, something rodents only do when secure. If she had the attitude that she wanted to be clean and presentable cat or no cat then she was definately worth saving. The cat proved that mice can be intimidated, to some extent, it took a lot of roughing up to get that far.

The first time I picked up the mouse she leaped at the cat, which took a step backwards. She is one crazy brave mouse, and deserved another chance, and another one after that and now a cat proof existance.
