I hate to be the one to love starting off a good old fasioned philosophical debate.
But i know people who like Mr Black's work will probobly have thought about somthing before. Colour So, does anyone have any head teasing, funny, annoying or even clever things for me to think about?
I'll start of by raising a question..
What is life?
(I know this might sound quite simple, but as with most things, the more i think about it, the more i seem to notice.)
This signature makes me look like i have attitude. The fact is, i don't really know if i do. |

| I have a friend with the same problem. I'm still working with mild foliage, but i'm impressed with your masculinity. You know, you can get hormonal treatment to repress hair growth. Sad that i know that. |

how long is eternity?
imagine a small sparrow. once every hundred years this sparrow flies to a rock the size of the sun way far out in outer space. he scrapes his beak once to the left. he scrapes his beak once to the right. he flies back to earth. when the sparrow scrapes the rock so much that it is finally a pebble- that is when eternity begins.

I have actually wondered this myself. Another query: Why do they make subtitles for the blind?
A sophism:
The sophist: "I am the owner of many farms. I will burn some of my
crops so the price of wheat will rise."
The sophist's guest: "But isn't that selfish?"
The sophist, shocked: "Many people want the price of wheat to go
down. I -- one man -- want the price of wheat to rise. Now isn't that
LESS selfishness rather than MORE selfishness?"

I caught a mouse today and am keeping it in a trash can overnight. It keeps jumping and jumping... I'm going to release it in a park tomorrow, but it'll probably die of starvation or cold or cat. So is it more humane to euthanize it with a plastic bag and ensure a quick painless death, or set it free and chance it dying slow and painful?

release it, set it free. If it dies it won't directly be your fault. It'll have a chance at least.
and if a cat gets it, then at least it will enjoy the chase. |

Have you ever seen a cat kill a mouse? Not pretty. It takes a long, long time to do it.
Anyhow, I am going to set it free today. It feels better to do so and I think giving it a chance is best.

i actually own a kitten and a hampster and so far, they live in total harmony.. though i won't let the hamster out of his cage without extreme supervision..
my point? i don't know.. maybe mousy will end up befriending a cat on the outside, not unlike my cat and my hamster, and they will end up forming a team, like Bonnie and Clyde.. i could happen..
anyway, has anyone seen the movie THE STATE OF THINGS, by Wim Wenders? it's probably one of his oddest films. beautiful b+w cinematography.. kind of harder to find. it's a film about making a film, sort of..
anyway, good luck mouse..
i been meanin' to get out of Hollywood. |

| floop, if you ever let your hamster out to run around in one of those little hamster ball thingies, secure the lid with a little tape; I have bad childhood memories of the day our cat learned to open that thing. Also, the current hamster has learned how to get the lid off. I've never had a devious hamster before this one, but she's crafty. |

| wow a hamster thread at last! My old hamster used to spread its limbs out really wide so you couldn't fit it into the hamster ball, cos he was really scared of it. After he discovered the stairs with it... |

Oh heartbreak! A hamster ball on stairs!
I believe that Ray (my daughter named her) is a fancy hamster (not a dwarf.) She'll get the ball wedged somewhere and then maneuver until she's on the inside of the lid and then bangs the ball around until the lid screws off. (At least we think that's how she does it--it could just be part of her pact with Satan.) Most neurotic animal I've ever seen. |

| thinking about it i put sellotape over one of the entrances to half the escape chances. hamsters are crafty wee buggers. I'm getting one for my term time house after easter. I'm gonna call it Mr Bungle, even if its female. |

| Good name! The lady who tells children's stories at the local library told me that her kids once had a hamster who was so good at escapes that they named him Houdini. One Halloween he disappeared and they finally found him; he had eaten his way into the middle of a bag of miniature chocolate bars and died of a candy OD. What a way to go. |

| Thats how I want to go. And I want MGTH played at the funeral. Zebedee my current hamster likes to play soccer by hitting a ping-pong ball round its cage with its nose. So cute! |

i have a dwarf hamster, peanut.
his special talent (it's actually a she, but i insist it's a he) is that he can slide down things, even at very steep angles.
like, if something is too steep to actually walk down, he'll lay out his front and hind legs, sprawled out, and literally slide down on his belly. no joke.
other than that he's really good at burrowing and staying inside his little cave for days at a time.
i never actually sought out a hamster.. my girlfriend brought it to me one day and was like, "look, isn't it cute?".. cuz her friend's hamster had babies..
very interesting background information, i know..

Ray's special talent (besides escape) is falling on her head. If she's feeling too lazy to go through the ordeal of squeezing through a little tube to reach the bottom of her cage, she'll just take a moment to brace herself and then dive off the platform and land smack on her head. I think she's probably not very bright. Chews the bars of her cage. All. Night. Long.
I think I'll try that ping-pong ball thing, Steve. She could use a new hobby.

| I am deathly terrified by mice...our house is out almost in the country, and we live by a huge barn and a grocery store. We've had a couple of mice in the house (we have 2 cats) and they fucking scare me to DEATH. I've had to run up to the bed and cover myself up and plug my ears. I can't even stand to hear them squeek. Now, seeing mice in cages doesn't scare me. Hampsters, gerbils, guinea pigs...they're all fine. Just mice. And I'm happy I've never encountered a rat. I think I would pass out. |

And pigeons are rats with wings.
The house we live in was occupied by a bewildering array of wildlife when we moved in--racoons & possums under the house, bats in the chimney & bedroom wall (and the bedbugs that apparently accompany bat infestations--how medieval!), and mice that lived in the stove. I'd go into the kitchen and find one bathing itself in a skillet. Then it would hop back into the little seam at the back of the stovetop. We had all the windows pulled out and replaced, and in one room about five gallons of ancient ratshit poured out of the walls along with a mummified rat. It's a nice place to live now, but we had to wage an epic battle with the vermin, including gigantic cockroaches--three separate species! <shudder> Lately I keep finding dried-up slugs and dead earwigs. What's next? Locusts?
I kept black & white hooded pet rats all through childhood and found them them to be great little companions, but after seeing the film version of 1984, I've been unable to face the idea of another pet rat.

Well, I let it go outside the Franklin Park Zoo and it ran and hide in a space in a stone fence. I think it'll be alright.
As for fear of mice, I used to live in the mountains in PA in a place called Upper Horse Valley. My bedroom was in the attic and we had mice a-plenty. One night I was woken up by a thumping sound and it ended up being a mouse thrashing about with it's head caught in a trap. My Dad came up and smacked it with a baseball bat.
After I've had ferrets for a few years I've gotten accustomed to sudden scurrying and mice don't bother me anymore. I wouldn't want one crawling across my face, but across the floor is not a big deal. Our bed is a few feet off the floor anyhow so the ferrets don't get up and crawl across our faces (which they used to do and it's an awful way to wake up.)

El Barto (aka jim), i guess you won't be wanting to see the new Crispin Glover film, WILLARD, then.. which apparantly features deadly, human-eating rats.. a la BEN (did you ever see that?)..
i just saw the trailer for it the other night, and at first i was like, "cool, crispin glover".. but i looks pretty pathetic..
anyway..
