Complete random obnoxiousness is the mark of a troll Pucky and trolls eventually get banned. You’ve got over 400 posts under your belt, shouldn’t you have just a little clue re avoiding completely half assed posting by now?

Certainly a small chipmunk is fuzzier and cuter than Tuesday. And it’s nice to see folks getting away from the tired and overused, “gerbil stuffing.” Gerbils cost money while chipmunks can often be trapped for free and that has the advantage of not having to explain repeated trips to the pet store. Thursdays, though otherwise a fine day, are a trifle unweldy in this matter.

So, for you (as reading between the lines told me you were really asking) clearly the answer is the chipmunk.

Hope this helps.

(Hint: It wasn’t _quite_ as random as it looked, but after I posted it, I regretfully thought it might get misconstrued.)

Take these words to heart, **Pucky**.

As for this thread, it’s in the wrong forum. I’m not going to move it, I’m going to close it.
