One of ours (Tego, presumed dead) many years ago used to bring us 'presents' all the time. In fact on one occasion we got left half a baby rabbit. Lovely.

I also heard an amusing anecdote from my first year english teacher about his cat - apparently on one occasion he opened his front door only to find it trying to tackle a rather large seagull. I guess it certainly couldn't be faulted for lack of trying. :lol:[/colorost_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Lack of trying, boundless confidence...

I once saw Fatty showing her two kittens (her only litter) how to hunt. She had a live bird in her mouth. I guess she was startled when we walked by because the bird flew out of her mouth and landed on the roof.

Henh. Cats are funny.[/colorost_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I've had many a good chuckle at the cats I've known over the years. And of course they've always made me pay for it.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0="Nic Corelli"]And when the mantis died, I buried it... and a year later, a big pink apartment building was built exactly on the site of its grave. It is now officially the insect with the most impressive tombstone monument ever, [/quoteost_uid0]

But it's monument is big and PINK! How could a ferocious butterfly-eating insect have a PINK monument? Injustice, I tell, you, [iost_uid0]injustice![/iost_uid0]

[quoteost_uid0="Nic Corelli"]My butterfly collection is still here and intact, by the way... they`re all pinned with needles on the cardboard, 20 or so of them, and displayed on the shelf in my living room... they are not pickled, but surprisingly they haven`t decomposed at all after 13 years...[/quoteost_uid0]

::tries to keep this quote out of her mind, and fails spectacularly:: [iost_uid0]"You've got to see this! Ambassador Delenn's come out of her cocoon, and she's got wings-- like a butterfly!"[/iost_uid0]

Ugh. Thank you, Nits. Now I have the [iost_uid0]worst[/iost_uid0] image possible stuck in my brain... And I thought keeping innocently pickled spiders for 13 months was BAD.

Nan, you have disturbing cats. That is all I have to say. ::is extremely glad her dog is too wimpy to attack anything other than terrycloth towels::[/colorost_uid0]

Mine killed a mouse recently. Apparently he's not too old for that just yet. The other one escaped, though.[/colorost_uid0]

[Zeke]

[quoteost_uid0="PointyHairedJedi"][color=#000000ost_uid0]And a suggestion about the book idea - why not release compliations of fivers and such in an ebook form? That way people could have complete seasons on their computers without having to save every single fiver manually which would be rather time consuming to say the least.[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0]
[color=#000000ost_uid0]That's such a good idea it's almost been suggested already. What's actually been suggested are zip archives, which amount to the same thing. I'll be making some available when we get to the new server (best not to tempt our bandwidth requirements till then).

Interesting thought, Nic, but they were definitely crickets. They were just crickets who had no choice. Poor bastards.[/colorost_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Actually, I was wondering about something concerning the move that you've mentioned - is Delta Blues going to be staying where it is, or is it going to come along too?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]My Mom used to have a dog (now departed) who was a beagle of very little brain, but a demon gopher hound. He'd leave "gopher components" lying in conspicuous locations as presents. (Thanks, Sam. Thank you [iost_uid0]very[/iost_uid0] much :lol: )[/colorost_uid0]

[Hotaru]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I have pet mice. They don't catch so much stuff. I do have fun with them though, I put them up to the glass of my fish tank, and startle the fish.

I once put a ladybug in their cage, just to see what would happen. One rather fat mouse sat on it, and killed it. My pets aren't so exciting.[/colorost_uid0]

"If you were any other ladybug, I would sit on where you stand!"

You should see my cat. Asleep 19 hours a day. The other 5 hours spent eating.

What did you expect from mice? That they will hunt cats? This reminds me of the time my Grandma fed my turtles meat, and my sister told her: "Don`t feed them meat! Turtles in nature don`t eat meat! Did you ever see a turtle hunt down an antilope, knock her on the ground and eat it?"[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]As a forthcoming newspost will explain, Delta Blues has already moved -- Jim's gone back to self-hosting. Five-Minute Stargate will be coming with us, though (as will the Triangle and Robert Stats Page for what that's worth).

The server move is now in the final stage, by the way. We have a tentative date set and the only major thing left to do is getting the new domain name. Once I've got that, I'll give you guys the new address and tell you what server we're moving to. You'll see then why I called this the best plan ever.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Aww, he's getting married. Congrats Jim! ^_^[/colorost_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Who`s getting married? Jim? But that`s impossible. He`s dead! (Jim).[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Er.
Well.
Actually, no.
I'm entirely responsible for that.


Or at least, my, uhm, "Random Particle Generator" is.




And.... Jim's getting married?! OOh![/colorost_uid0]

[Zeke]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]What update page is missing?[/colorost_uid0]

[Derek]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]http://3sygma.com/fiveminute/news/ doesn't like it when I go there.

Edit: Though strangely, my home computer goes there fine. If I go to http://3sygma.com/fiveminute/news/index.html it works fine regardless. I wonder why my work computer doesn't like the first URL.[/colorost_uid0]
