Imagery for the morning

[azurelunatic]

From calligrafiti: "...the birds are aggressively mugging my bird feeder..."

Yep. Sounds like birds to me. And, if my memories are correct, each other as well, flittering and squawking and pecking and displaying the worst violent inclinations of the species, like suburban moms in the mall on Christmas Eve.

Nature is not kind and gentle. Watch a cheetah. Look at a thunderstorm. When male birds sing in defense of their territories, understand it as an opera in a foreign language, with a translation running something like this: "Yo momma sucked my cock this morning, and if you come over here to give me any shit about it, I'm gonna kick your punk ass."

Chickens are vicious cannibals, by the way. The only thing I've come across that are more cruel than chickens are middle-school girls.

Snakes are kind and gentle, as long as you're not mousey :D

I can now sacrifice mice to Eris!!

True, but she might present them back to you as a gift.

"This lovely dead rodent was bestowed unto me by Eris. ... So, uh, what do I *do* with it?"

[azurelunatic]

Present it back to her and say, "Good girl." And pet her.

But yes, I agree. I was raised on national geographic nature documentaries. Thus preventing me from ever being a fuzzy-animal-rights person, and turning me into the sharp-pointy-animal-rights person I am today :D

[azurelunatic]

I think that slow fuzzy animals deserve to be eaten.

I am not a fan of rodents.

[musyc]

Heheh. Me either, on the rodent thing.

I think that animals are nasty creatures, and we should use them for what we can. I appear to be in the minority, as no one at work seems to understand my glee about my gloves. My shrieking, "Feel them! They're made of bunnies!" doesn't seem to entertain them. :)

[azurelunatic]

You have dead bunny gloves?!?!?!!

Coooool.

[musyc]

Bunny *and* cow. They are the gloves of doom.

*evil laugh*

[azurelunatic]

But... they are dead bunny, not cheese! How can they then be of doom?


(injoke between me/sithjawa/gods know who else: doom == cheese.)

I like rats. In that, I'd never *want* one, being not a fan of them personally, but they appear to be capable of imitating human behavior or imagining "their" humans to be honorary rats, and once they start doing that, I have to consider them people.

[azurelunatic]

Rats are perhaps my one exception... they're not so dreadfully beady-eyed, and they can be smart.

Rabbits are for eating and for being soft-furred.

Hopefully not at the same time. Yuk!

[azurelunatic]

Well, at the same time, but separately.

Snuggling with soft dead bunny fur? Necrobestiality! :D

There was a study about the cruelty of middle school aged girls not too long ago... Actually, I think it was a general study about bullies and they found that girls of that age group were the cruelest. And if my brain isn't completely failing me, TIME did a story on the study. Very interesting stuff.

I was relatively fortunate in finding a group to shelter with...
