If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

The next big fashion craze, forehead inflation!

This guy has uncovered the REAL problem of human suffering....horses!

Strangely hypnotic, this is.

And finally, bong art!

And they are incredibly dangerous. Would you let a 9 year-old girl drive a Mini Cooper? And bear in mind that a Mini is a predictable machine, it only does what you tell it. Horses are bigger, heavier and have minds of their own - insane horsey minds - and every time I drive round to see my friend, I get stuck behind five or six of these tiny little girls riding great big horses down the street. Is it just me, or is that ******* stupid? What if the horses get rattled and bolted straight in front of my car? Or decides it wants to kick my windscreen in? How's a little girl supposed to control a great muscular animal about 10 times her size? And who cleans up all the horse**** anyway?

Man, if it were up to me, horses would live in a few fields miles away from anywhere and no-one would be allowed to ride them. Or even look at them. That's after I've rounded up dog-owner in the UK, gone round to their house and crapped all over the carpet. And then rubbed their brand new ******* trainers that they only just bought that ******* morning in the crap. And then walked all over their housein their brand new perfect black-and-white Adidas with the now-brown-stained new white soles, spreading filthy crap everywhere. Then I'd shoot their dog, leave, and wish them a better life in future.

Damn, I'm venting. I hate dogs. Have you seen that movie Dog Soldiers? "I can't shoot a dog for no reason, sir." What a ****. There's a reason. It's a dog. Shoot the bloody thing before it breeds.

I love dogs - and always clear up any doggy dumps mine produces.
How could you not love this?:

And she can't breed 'cos we had her 'done'.

Horses are okay, but not when they're out on MY road or being ridden by those that can't honestly control them.
And if you like dogs being shot, watch the movie 'Equilibrium' - they kill loads of them. With machine guns.

You've just reminded me... I didn't get to the post office before it shut on the Saturday the hunting ban came into place, because traffic was stuck thanks to a hunting party riding through town all defiant-like. They waved at us, I did not wave back. Anyway, nearly half of the riders were fat little girls.

By the way, horse poo is good, dog poo is very bad.

Dogs are rubbish.

The only open-mouthed incessently-panting dumb-yet-loyal animal I want near my crotch should also have big tits.

Yes, I am Poppa S in disguise.

If I were to stand in my garden shouting abuse at passers by, I'd be done for breach of the peace. But if I were to kick the **** out a dog for doing this same thing, I'd be done for cruelty to animals.

Cats are good. They don't need a person to accompany them to the toilet, plus they have the common decency to dig a hole and cover it up again.
Grrr. Argh.

I love dogs and cats. *Senses joke pending* I love most animals. *Likewise* Heck, I had the same dog and two cats growing up side by side for up until a few years ago. They all died in the same year. :( Regardless, I'll never have pets again. The lack of catshit smell eminating from the "needs constant maintenence" litter box, the missing discolorations from piss and **** stains leftover from "that night or day the animal just couldn't hold it" or "up and decided not to try" that you had to scrub for hours and still never quite got out, the shredded furniture and wallpaper not being present due to lack of claw-sharpening felines, the intact shoes in the closet with no chew or gnaw marks, the missing pet food expense, and the absence of pet hair all over every single thing in the ******* house works fine by me.

I was going to make a Ren & Stimpy joke about one of the products they used to advertize, but somehow the statement of "Guess if my son ever needs a little friend I'll just have to get him a Log," didn't sound right. Not right at all.

Now excuse me, I appear to have child protective services tapping me on the shoulder...

The "i" in "Señior" from "Señior's Covenant" is intentional and part of a stupid & cheesy inside joke from '02. Thank you for your concern.

Get one with a partner who feels the same way and the dog would... or is it cats that own people?

Yesss... dogs are covered by noise abatement and other legislation, as with people. People don't get license to kick the sh*t out of others because they don't like what they say. Unless they can pass it off as law enforcement, which you'd probably struggle with...

Cats establish a mutually beneficial relationship with the human of their choice; whereby the feline gets a steady supply of food along with shelter, whilst the human gets the benefit of enjoying the cat's company whenever the said animal so desires it.

I love dogs (er... the bigger working breeds. Dislike most of the smaller breeds, except the odd one or two individuals. Nasty little nippy/yappy things, ack). They're like kids, though. Require a bit of thought, understanding and responsibility. I like cats, they're fairly easy to take care of and I have a definite fondness for Clydesdales/draft horses.

I've grown up with/around a lot of animals and some of my better memories involve pets.

Oh hang on, maybe I did. I logged on to the site with my pda at lunchtime, it must have resubmitted my post. Weird.

Cats are ok. I probably wouldn't keep one though.

Well, now that my "Weird Internet Site" thread has gone from "I love/hate dogs" to "I love/hate cats," at least my Pebbles and Eric can get into the action.

Me love cats - owned loads in the past - just got two now. One looks like Shanti418's black one and hates EVERYTHING, and the other is a rescue cat that had its head kicked in by a previous owner and has a wonky face now. She's scared of EVERYTHING.
Example:
Timid cat: "Arrgh! Cat litter!"
Timid cat (two seconds later): "Arrgh! Something NOT cat litter!"

I don't have any pics of my cats to hand, but the timid one's lovely. :)

And isn't Karly in America, or something? :eyebrow: (vaguely remembers him asking about booking bus tickets in the US)

I've got 2 cats, McCartney and Harrison (or Macca and Harry). Lennon got deaded last year.

They're good company when the missus isn't around. Before I met her I had no time for pets at all.

Still not into dogs though. They seem more of a handful and a bit more smelly.

I'd post pics if I knew where to host stuff for free.
