That's not a smiley. It's just a single image from my photobucket account.

Will someone with photoshopping skillz please make a smiley wearing sunglasses that has a stick up its butt?

Gadianton Plumber, I'm concerned for your rat.

She looks in need of medical care.

Torgo has been dead for about a year now. He lived to almost three years, very old age for a rat. He was healthy for almost his entire life, apart from a wound he garnered once in a fight. So why is he laying like he is dead? First, he was the laziest rat I have ever known. Second, he was warm from the fresh grass. When rats get hot they can only sweat through their feet and they will flip over to expose their paws to the air. This is a picture of the eminently recumbent Torgo taking a summer nap in the afternoon.

I noticed recently that when I tped the F word from a book it didn't appear when I hit save. Just the F and no uck came out. I believe it had to do with enchantment.

I love rats, GP. I love animals, generally.

My girls and I have had several rats. This is a picture of Cow, our most recent rat, on my daughter Madeline's dirty feet:



I gave that rat CPR once after the very young neighbor boy, Seth, drowned her in the bird drink. She revived and lived another year longer. We miss her lots.

I am a BIG fan of rats. I have been breeding and selling them for years. Right now I am just enjoying my 9 boy rats who dwell in a 400 gallon aquarium filled with dirt and grass for digging. They may be a little spoiled.

I'm not a big fan of too many smilies myself (whatever "too many" might constitute), but I'm wondering what specifically you don't like about them, Shades. Just curious.

When I first read this, I thought Shades said "only one simile per post." I thought Shades was getting quite draconian as a literary critic.

Brilliant.

Shades is like a microsurgeon when it comes to pinpointing smilies.

They're childish and amateurish. They make a message board look like a kindergartner's coloring book.
