Of course many of us know the joy that only calling somebody a felcher can bring. However, in a thread in The Pit, Esprix called somebody a yak felcher. Of course I was freaked out by it, because it is too close to my screen name for comfort.
I have taken it upon myself to request that some animals be removed from felching consideration, to protect some fellow posters: Bears (purplebear), Cows (iamthecowgod), Ducks (Duck Duck Goose), Falcons (Falcon), Kangaroos (Mega the Roo), Ponies (Blue Pony), Trout (trout mask replica), and of course the aforementioned Yaks.
Since I don’t want to stifle anybody in their quest for the perfect flame, I will suggest a few new animals to felch: Walruses, Badgers, Bole Weevils, Squid, Porcupines, Musk Ox, Water Buffalo, Asian Elephants, African Elephants, Great White Sharks.
When I was a teenager living on a farm, my family acquired two sheep as pets. On day my father announced that he’d discovered the larger one would stand stock-still if he rubbed her breasts. I asked exactly why he’d been rubbing her breasts to begin with, but I didn’t get a satisfactory answer.
In fact…to this day I haven’t gotten a satisfactory answer. Oh Dad…
I would like to make some corrections to your list of felchable animals, if I may. I do this strictly in the interest of safety to any of our would-be animal felchers out there. The following information can be found in the online magazine The Daily Felcher.
Squid and Great White Sharks
Do not attempt to felch these animals. As they are underwater, many drownings have occurred as a result of poeple trying to felch a fish. Aside from that, the Great White Shark doesn’t seem to like it one bit and has a tendency to eat the felchers.
Porcupines
Please wear protective eyewear when attempt this act with this animal. 43% of all blind animal felchers are blind because of the porcupine getting too excited and getting a quill in the felchers eye.
I hope this will save some of our readers the painful experience of learning this informatino the hard way.
I am sorry for forgetting some of you, but there are almost 7500 registered TM’s. I haven’t crossed paths with everyone yet.
As far as forgetting Sqrlcub, I’m not sure but I don’t think he’d be offended if I were to call someone a squirrel felcher. Call somebody an Ed Asner Felcher, and I’m sure that Sqrl would be all over your case.
“ahem…let’s not forget our friends in the canine population.”
I gotta agree with beagledave here. If you can’t eat dogs, you shouldn’t be allowed to felch 'em.
Well, except for poodles. The little ones.
Toy poodles you can eat and felch with impunity.
But no eating or felching of real dogs.
Peace,
