She's got you by the short and curlies Odo! If you claim you can insult her because she's not a lady you are already insulting her by saying she's not a lady! its like a mental submission hold!

[odo banks]

I don't allow that kind of circus-act thinking to thwart me, Mr Tyrant, as you know full well. (Did you know "laddie" and "lady" are two totally different things btw, though both sometimes wear kilts - fascinating! )

Aah! Here it is!

lady: a female hobbit, either young or old, who wears nice dresses (preferably ankle-length without frills or sequins); speaks nicely (with no unrespectable made-up words); knows her place and never doubts the word of her male supervisor (father, husband, manager, Head Teacher, bus driver); bakes the best cakes she can however frugal the budget; performs other duties with a smile even if she has to think of Hobbiton; never allows her children to lapdance, or mention bananas (which are an exotic evil fruit anyway); knits, sews and crochets (but not in a braggy way); massages her husband feet after a hard day in Rushock Bog; and never puts ideas in another young woman's head.

Well, Kafria, it looks like I'll have to treat you fair and square, and exactly how you deserve!

[Ringdrotten]

Is it possible to buy a copy of that dictionary somewhere?

[Eldorion]

I'm afraid that the State Dictionary of Forumshire -- the authority on all linguistic matters, established by Admin Eldo for the ease and standardization of communication -- does not agree with your definition.

[Kafria]

Hmm lets look at that dictionary of yours.... something funny...... look, why is there a corner sticking up here....just tease up the edge..... Oh Mr Banks. I don't know how to tell you this, but you've been had...someones doctored your dictionary. I truly am sorry. See under this piece of paper, what it really says is.......

Oh you must have a copy of the original edition, Kafria, which someone has clumsily (and understandably) attempted to accord with the Second Edition. I know this must be the case because I was on the Our Lady working party that respectulized several of our Forumshire reference books. You must try to be more up-to-date in future. Here to help!


NB There appear to be two kinds of Lady. The Our Lady type, and (presumably) your type!

[Eldorion]

Attempting to disrupt the free and open communication of Forumshire? More evidence for the investigation into Our Lady.

Renewing Forumshire, Eldo! Renewing! Back to the future, I say!

[Tinuviel]

Well I just found 3 kittens and their mother underneath a tiny random bridge in my backyard. At first, I thought there were only 2, and decided to call them merry and pippin. Now there are 3. So...?

[Pettytyrant101]

Male or female Tin? Eleanor if its a girl maybe? Ellie for short.

Some cat quotes I stumbled across that made me smile (well quotes about cats, cat quotes would be fairly indecipherable!)


'Never play cat and mouse games if you're a mouse.- Don Addis

Cats' hearing apparatus are built to allow the human voice to easily go in one ear and out the other.- Stephen Baker.

Dogs come when they are called. Cats take a message and get back to you later.- Mary Bly

Cat people are different, to the extent that they generally are not conformists. How could they be, with a cat running their lives?- Louis J. Camuti

Cats do not go for a walk to get somewhere, but to explore.- Sidney Denham

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.= Robert Heinlein

Dogs believe they are human. Cats believe they are God. -anon

Cats know how we feel they just dont give a damn- anon

Most cats, when they are out want to be in, and vice versa, and often simultaneously.- Louise Camulti

If a cat spoke, it would say things like "Hey, I dont see the problem here."- Ray Blount

Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.- Anon

Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will pee on your computer!- Bruce Graham

[Eldorion]

Those are great! Glad to see this thread resurrected.

[Norc]

can we have an all dog thread? I feel this forum is very cat friendly (don't get me wrong, cat's are awesome, but so are dogs)

[Eldorion]

I've never cared for dogs much, especially the smell. Actually living with dogs in the past few years has not changed my opinion for the better (though to be fair, my stepmom's dogs are very poorly trained and probably not indicative of most dogs). I'm always a bit nervous around larger dogs who I don't know, too.

Don't let that stop you from making a thread for the dog-lovers, though!

[Pettytyrant101]

Dogs! Having Haun rampaging and slabbering about the forum occasionally when Tin brings him from Valinor is bad enough!

[Norc]

so I am the only dog-loving person here?

[Eldorion]

I was going to post about my cats in the Hobbit pictures thread where that tangent arose, but for fear of turning it into a kitty pictures thread I turned to this one.

We have two cats, but the one that is "mine" (i.e., I picked him out from the shelter when I was little) is eight years old. His name is Fred, after the Harry Potter character. He's an orange tabby and is certainly a personality, though he's not the brightest star in the sky at times. I have way too many pictures of him so I'll narrow it down to just two for now. I don't think I've posted either of them before.



This picture is about six years old and we've both changed a lot since then, but it's still one of my favorite pictures of me and/or our pets that I have.



This picture is only a few months old. We have a long-standing that Fred and our other cat, who is 12 years old, are gay together. Pictures such as this one (and there are many) are our primary evidence.

[Pettytyrant101]

That first picture is so sweet my teeth have fallen out!

Gay cats! I think I can see which one wears the trousers in that releationship!

[Eldorion]

I'm glad it cracked your buckied heart.

Gay cats! I think I can see which one wears the trousers in that releationship!

Yeah, they've been like that for a long time and it's always the black-and-white one on top.

[Ally]

No ones coming out to me ??

[Eldorion]

Hey, I think I actually know what you're on about this time, Ally.

Were you hoping I'd come out today?

[Norc]

like out in the sun? I've heard it's nice out there.. on the outside.
