Quasi isn’t around as much these days so I thought I would do a fill in. reply if you are interested. Bribes accepted\* as are cute bunny pictures. Amusingly shaped vegetables are not to be sniffed at either. all decisions may be random and arbitrary. Or not. - only if they are in excess of US$14 or an equivalent weight of chocolate ---

That is a very nice thing to do. My daughter just had identical twin boys (my first Grandbabies). They were born 12 weeks early, but are very healthy. A gift membership would help, since all of my money is going toward buying the necessary things for the babies. 🙂 ---

Dangit, Tapatalk!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: I’ll repost direct links in a little bit. Sorry about that. ☹ And yes, the last picture is a bunny butt, although she was more of an off-white with a darker lil tail underside. Since I charge my phone on my nightstand, I was able to take a pic. I literally opened my eyes and BOOM, she’s sitting on my chest, bunny butt right in view. 😃 ---

Oh, I also blame Tapatalk for the absolutely _bizarre_ number of line breaks between each paragraph. They said their next app update will improve VB code parsing and that had better include those line breaks. Seriously, I only hit enter 2 times between paragraphs, which is one blank line and then the next paragraph for everyone except Tapatalk. :rolleyes: But now, the pictures! [This is Shion, also known as the B](https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=4E65A712238F67AD%21558). [She liked scritchins](https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=4E65A712238F67AD%21572). [The infamous Buns Gone Wild butt shot](https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=4E65A712238F67AD%21560)! 😃 Some bonus shots to make up for the earlier cock-up: [In the summer, she liked chilling under the TV stand](https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=4E65A712238F67AD%21580). [This is from an impromptu photoshoot on top of my pillow](https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=4E65A712238F67AD%21567). In the morning, she’d hop up onto the bed and onto my pillow and nudge my head. If I was so _thoughtlessly rude_ as to not wake up, she’d start nibbling my hair, which would turn into a tug! Never did this to my husband! Oh well. She also licked my pillow. And [here she is as a rabbit Sphynx](https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=4E65A712238F67AD%21574). Man, I miss the B. ☹ ---

So, where are our candidates for those free memberships? Seems like not too many folks are expressing interest. So maybe we need to keep bumping this thread. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-have-a-nice-shiny-gift-membership-up-for-grabs/681537.md?page=2)
