Pets

[cfortunato]

Four cats (Festus, Lulu, Jenny and Dot), and two tanks which contain 7 Tiger Barbs, 6 Neons, 7 Corys, 5 African Dwarf Frogs and 3 Mystery Snails (not to mention a completely undetermined number Malaysian Trumpet Snails, but those aren't really pets).

Why not? Too small?

you know, scotland yard.  undercover police.  he finds stray pets that way.  he found a yoonie look-alike.  also, he has a vivid imagination - so he thinks he owns her.

Thal's earwig must be smaller. Un less, of course, I'm thinking of a different snail.

A pet is a pet, no matter its size. Although, at some point it does become as much an inconvenience as it is a pet.

I have a miniature Australian Shepherd (red merle) named Maddy (It's supposed to be "Mattie" but one of my younger brothers filled out some of her paperwork when we got her so "Maddy" is her official name) =P

Hehe, I encountered a similar scenario with my Dusty (the black cat in the two pictures): my mum insured him as Rusty, and even at the vets he's called Rusty!

What kind of yards? Builders' ones? Surely not! I've never yet figured out what makes yards tick...

WHAT ARE THE NAME OF YOUR CATS.

TELL ME NOW

"Yardstick". Geddit?

Ah - now; down to your question. "WHAT ARE THE NAME...(?)". A singularly pluralistic example of an unfortunate admixture of singular and plural, it would seem. Anywa, having gotten past that one, I have to add that there is absolutely no way that I can "tell you now", since your polite request is marked as having been made as follows:
Posted on: Today at 08:01:40 PM
so, since it is now much later than that time, my ability to tell you "now" - in the sense that, by this "now", you must have meant the above time at which you actually submitted your aforementioned polite request - is compromised by the very elapse of subsequent time (not that we want to get into the murky realms of what may or may not be meant by "time", do we? - lest we risk inviting yet further distracting observations on that subject from the creationist sorority)...

Best,

Can you just tell us their names please Alistair? Please?

No, because they breed like tribbles.  I've actually stuck them into their own tank, because I didn't want to squash them, and I didn't want them to overrun the other one.

If you have ever read "Viz" magazine (which i doubt), there is a character called Lawrence Logic.

The similarity between him and your posts is incredible .

Since you are quite correct in your suggestion that I have not read the said magazine, the alleged similarity to which you attst will have to remain one to the justification of whose potential veracity I must necessarily defer to a greater authority such as yours.

That said, I should add that neither this post nor the one which you quote above are especially typical, so I'm not sure that your comparison is quite as valid as you appear to believe it may be. In other words, I don't always write like that...

Best,

Alistair
