The Bluestocking: the one where AI finally learns what a blackbird is (we hope)

[Magpiecomplex]

Welcome all, New Year (nearly), new thread!

Here I am.

Ooh... That sounds interesting. What do the rest of the regulars think? Would a lion be a good addition to the pub? Obviously it wouldn't have a mane which will probably catch out the AI.

The gerbils have been adding food colouring out of the kitchen to the snow. The results are great!

I love all the snowy goings-on! One of the many things I love about our little furry friends is that they look so genuinely, innocently happy to be doing fun things like playing in the snow, like the [rare, surely?] Arctic Quokka brought to us by inkymoose at 16:24. Awwww the little happy face of it😍

That's something nice about AI at last - somewhere in its data it has the code for 'endearing look of innocent delight', bless.

I love Android's snow figures, and I'm definitely the one in the front and that's a copy of my pal Montaigne's essays attached to my belt. Never go anywhere without it - that's actually true in real life - well in my bag, not attached to my belt, that would be odd behaviour, even for me!

The M animals are an interesting bunch...

Common animals that start with the letter M include the Macaque, Macaroni Penguin, Muskat, Madagascar Hissing Cockroach, Magellanic Penguin, Magpie, Mallard, Manatee, Mandarin Rat Snake, Mandrill, Marine Iguana, and Meerkat.

There's also mouse and marsh frog?!?

Oh "POFUTS"! My all time favourite magazine!

I found some great pictures of Snow Woman white haired Myrtle just as she is! Perhaps they're a little bit romanticised. But there's only so many times you can ask for short hair and woolly jumpers before you lose the will to endlessly repeat-yourself-with-very-minor-variations.

@ifIwerenotanandroid manages a level of detail that I can't get AI to do!!!

AI when asked to write a story or a poem loves to insert the words whimsy and whimsical so it would seem that somewhere in its coding lies a few lines of 'ah bless '

I think a MyrtleLion would be delightful. We all liked Parsley, didn't we?

@WhiteHairedMyrtle you ain't having magpie! 🤣

Common animals? Can you get away with calling Magpie "Common"?

Wasn't there a knitted Parsley at some point?

Indeed there was. Courtesy of Woley. And it was fab!

I would NEVER call Magpie common!

However. https://a-z-animals.com/animals/animals-that-start-with-m/ would!

How about Mullet fish (god! That would just be lots of fish with bad haircuts!!)

How about MyrtleTurtle?

I see what you did there!!

Myrtle the Manchester Terrier?

I wouldn't dare!

MyrtleLion is available but I won't be able to post on this thread as a lion. It would have to wait till the next thread. But I can change permanently for Bluestocking except for the special occasions when we change for Christmas and other holidays.

Nope

Definitely not a Mudpuppy!

MyrtleLion sounds good to me. Don't forget to do it when we load the buses for the next thread.
In the meantime, can you just identify as a lion, like Banned does with her hedgehoggery?

I know what you mean: I regret having the name of a human being, and tried to be a bandicoot for a post or two but it didn't catch on, and I fear I am doomed to remain a furry animal trapped in a woman's body <sigh>

Common animals that start with the letter M include the Macaque, Macaroni Penguin, Muskat, Madagascar Hissing Cockroach, Magellanic Penguin, Magpie, Mallard, Manatee, Mandarin Rat Snake, Mandrill, Marine Iguana, and Meerkat.

Magpie is obvs taken, Meerkats are too common [not in the snobby sense], mice are too like gerbils...
I see AI having a lot of fun with Macaroni Penguin, though I think that actually belongs under 'P' not 'M'.
I'd like to see what AI would make of 'Madagascar Hissing Cockroach' , but I'm not sure I'd want one around the Bluestocking.. the hissing would disturb the gerbils' 70s tribute band performances.
Mallard - well you'd have to be blue, streamlined, and capable of reaching 126mph..

So I'd go for MyrtleMountainLion...

@WhiteHairedMyrtle Hiya you do not have to name change i have identified as a hedgehog for quite some threads and am vey happy now, as we are very inclusive dontcha know, no invasive surgery involved BTW.

But I want you to be "Bannedhedgehogontherun"!
