But do they run sexily, Pacific? Do they sashay? Or writhe? Or mince? Tiggy, is it the eyelashes?

ArsenicFaceCream · 11/01/2015 21:43

Grin Tiggy

Is Una litigious?

btw, oppossums are terrifying meth-head psychobilly badgers. But not smug. Or sexy.

Titsalinabumsquash · 11/01/2015 21:44

worryingly sexy! you know they escape their aquarium tanks at night right? To eat other species! They're the serial psychopaths of the aquatic world.

Dolphins naturally being the worst offenders of sea life evilness, they fool us with their saving people and cheerful chatter but I know otherwise...

Penguins, now they're pretty perfect imo.

I took ds and dd to feed our local swan family. We took swan pellets and on our arrival mummy swan was all hissy and aggressive chasing my ds around the harbour whilst he threw pellets in his wake. It was very funny. Within a minute she had realised we had nice food and was happy to mingle. Then daddy swan came literally running across the water at us like a demented bird Jesus. I almost wee'd in fear but he too calmed down and stuffed his beak. I swear as we were leaving he gave us a sneaky grin with his row of shiny teeth Grin

and they don't fall over Shock But standing next to them when they run is really otherworldly...

Grin @ demented bird Jesus

PacificDogwood · 11/01/2015 21:48

What about armadillos, then?

LidlMermaid · 11/01/2015 21:49

I was attacked by swans on the Norfolk Broads. The fuckers definitely have teeth. They also terrorise my dogs when they're swimming in the river. I'd have no problem turning them into swan kebabs if the Queen wasn't so bloody precious about them.

Linskibinski · 11/01/2015 21:49

I've never been fooled by pandas and their hidden use of contraception. Shock

TiggyD · 11/01/2015 21:49

Doesn't matter if Una is litigious Arsenic. She can't sue because whenever her lawyer sends her a legal letter she gets it so covered in shit she can't read it.

Beautiful eyes. And long tongue.

Linskibinski · 11/01/2015 21:50

Poor armadillos. No friends that lot. Sad

ArsenicFaceCream · 11/01/2015 21:55

What type of contraception Linsk? Contraband Panda pills?

I hear armadillos hang round bowling alleys and curl up in the hope someone will just hold them.

arsenic they practice the withdrawal method. Grin

Linskibinski · 11/01/2015 22:01

Sneaky you see....

Honeydragon · 11/01/2015 22:23

I have fed and stroked giraffes they are lovely.

But the best animal to stroke and cuddle is a baby orangutang they smell of puppies and babies AT THE SAME TIME.

Honeydragon · 11/01/2015 22:23

Swans on the other hand smell of weed.

Honeydragon · 11/01/2015 22:24

Pond weed.

They're not stoners.

Honeydragon · 11/01/2015 22:24

I think I'll just cruise through this thread merrily on my own now I've got started Grin

PacificDogwood · 11/01/2015 22:26

Ferrets, otoh, end stink. To high heavens.
Even fancy, angora-y type ones - they stink.

I had not known that until very recently. Fluffy, but unpleasantly smelly. Which is why people tend to keep them outside. I can totally see why.

I know demand to smell the head of a baby orang-utan

PacificDogwood · 11/01/2015 22:27

Superflous 'end' - I am high on NightNurse

PacificDogwood · 11/01/2015 22:27
