LOL you are kidding yes? this is a joke post?

anyway it made me laugh thank you

pet theraphy for a gerbil? [grins]

MitchyInge · 27/05/2010 09:51

Be thankful charges haven't been pressed. You need therapy too, isn't this how psychopathy gets started?

BariatricObama · 27/05/2010 09:53

dd has been really upset by the incident and is having nightmares about richard gere

YABVVVVVU. That gerbil was only trying to make friends with your pfb. He will be emotionally crushed and in therapy for years. Your evil actions caused this- you pay. You should also give him a very unMN hug.

Am I the only one whom has mental images of a gerbil on a psychologist couch with a pained expression on its face?

autodidact · 27/05/2010 09:58

Wait a minute OP- you're doing that crap thing of putting hugely salient info into later posts. The gerbil deliberately induced Richard Gere nightmares in your daughter? You should crush it physically as well as emotionally in that case. Richard Gere is a vile cuntweevil who cannot people the nightmares of any person without causing serious psychological damage.

the gerbil is called colin

Alicetheinvisible · 27/05/2010 10:03

Colin you say? That changes everything doesn't it?

RustyBear · 27/05/2010 10:07

Do they pronounce it Colin or ˈkoʊlɨn (as in Powell, that's the phonetic reprsentation in Wikipedia)?

Makes a big difference to its mental state.

mummag · 27/05/2010 10:09

colin is the worst name for a gerbil... FACT

RustyBear · 27/05/2010 10:10

Always preview before posting

It was /'koulin/ only the u was like an upside down omega

BariatricObama · 27/05/2010 10:23

they have even started a facebook page 'action against pulling menacing faces at small rodent pets', apparently sting and brigette bardot have joined

Colon has to be a worse name

arsesandoldlace · 27/05/2010 10:28

Indeed, calling a gerbil 'Colon' might trigger some kind of repressed genetic memory.

BariatricObama · 27/05/2010 10:29

richard gere called his colon

at BO

Any gerbil called Colin is asking for it tbh.

You were being very foolish though. You could have angered him. Some gerbils have surprising agility and very creditable kung fu skills.

pagwatch · 27/05/2010 10:33

you should be more wary

BariatricObama · 27/05/2010 10:33

you are thinking of tortoises pag. i once insulted a tortoises mother and nearly had my neck broken.

OP posts:
BariatricObama · 27/05/2010 10:34

love the picture! colon looks just like that

OP posts:
pagwatch · 27/05/2010 10:35

tortoises also deceptively agile..

Alicetheinvisible · 27/05/2010 10:41

I think Keith would be marginally worse than Colin for a Gerbil, more a hamster name really....

BariatricObama · 27/05/2010 10:43

wht do you mean alice, do you want to cat me so we can have this out in rl.... twat!!!

OP posts:
mummag · 27/05/2010 10:46

i strongly disagree with alice, keith is not worse than colin..... how rude you are

pagwatch · 27/05/2010 10:48

Derek the gerbil would be cheeky and irreverent I think. If I ever get a gerbil he will be Derek.
If my Gerbil has ninja leaning then it would have to be Darth, Lord of The Caged Area. I could get it engraved on a little Gerbil collar tag for him.
He would be Darthykins sometimes, you know, when we are alone
