First off, because I’ve been known to hold grudges, this webpage, showing my old living quarters, always gives me a smile. She’s dead! Muahhahahahaha! Kaput! Razor blades! Gloat! Wallow! Gloat! Gloat! ---

> [@Giant\_Spongess](#): > > My response: hur hur, hur hur hurr. Heheheee. My response to it lies somewhere in between yours and **Burnt Sugar** ’s. I make some sound in the back of my throat that starts off sounding like a baby’s giggle, then turns into strange hiccups. If I look at it too long, I dissolve into uncontrollable giggles, like a female Butthead. I don’t know why. I just don’t know. ---

Must be the altitude or maybe the proximity to Oklahoma, but nobody I work with thinks this is funny. I’ve had it saved as my computer wallpaper for years now and I giggle at it nearly every day.

> [@Anaamika](#): > > Oh. Wow. He is \*so \*cute…my SO, who doesn’t care much for cute things, thought he was cute. That _is_ a pretty funny looking animal. Here is a picture of the [coyote](http://photobucket.com/albums/b291/guizot/?action=view¤t=Coyote.jpg) in the Los Angeles Zoo. I took his/her picture because the Los Angeles Zoo is in Griffith Park, which is a large area of wildlands where many coyotes live. In fact, it’s common for people who live in Los Feliz (formerly Madonna and Leonardo DiCaprio) to come across small packs of coyotes wandering around on city streets. So this animal is in a really small enclosure which is enclosed in a place where s/he would be living otherwise. S/he just paces back and forth, in a really nervous way. I’m not a PETA person, and I imagine s/he isn’t mistreated. Still, I really wanted to let the animal go free in it’s natural habitat, which is just outside of the fence which delineates the Los Angeles Zoo. ---

> [@MrShine](#): > > hmmmm… a collie… what do you use him for? :dubious: Chihuahua/Spaniel, actually. And I use him for baby practice. Billy like to jump up on the bed and wake me up five or six times a night, so I figure I’ll be all set for when the baby comes.
