Awesome pagebreak.

spit-take inducing

Patrick · « **Reply #53 on:** 05 Dec 2012, 04:23 »

You people are fucking fantastic, that's honestly one of the best pagebreaks I've seen in all my 7~ years here.

Carl-E · « **Reply #54 on:** 05 Dec 2012, 15:23 »

Grooming, people! It's important!

Thrillho · « **Reply #55 on:** 05 Dec 2012, 15:53 »

Gotta say, I love stubble.

Stubble can be pretty damn sexy in my opinion. And Unicorn... I just want to pet your head.

Papersatan · « **Reply #57 on:** 06 Dec 2012, 10:26 »

This thread has gotten to that weird part of the night when everyone is all drunk, but done drinking and figuring out where this party goes from here...

nekowafer · « **Reply #58 on:** 06 Dec 2012, 11:14 »

It goes to the part where we lick/pet Unicorn's head. Apparently.

idontunderstand · « **Reply #59 on:** 06 Dec 2012, 12:34 »

I'm very glad with the turn this has taken, though.

Asterus · « **Reply #60 on:** 06 Dec 2012, 12:54 »

Dear Anime (Clannad, Angel Beats, and the genres Slice of Life and Romance/Comedy in general)

Thank you for being awesome and inspiring

That is all ^.^

Also: kittens are awesome. This needs to be mentioned somewhere in the title of the thread :p

y'all are making me want to snuggle my cat so much. and she's probably going to bite me for it, but i don't care. she is wonderful.

Dearest Kisa,

I'm really glad I was able to bring you home with me. And even though you're kind of scared of being in a new place, I am glad you're warming up to us and once you come out of hiding, you really are one of the sweetest kitties ever. Once we get you your shots, I can't wait to let you explore the rest of the house! I'm sure we'll be friends for a really long time.

Sincerely,
Me

lepetitfromage · « **Reply #66 on:** 14 Dec 2012, 10:32 »

Oh man you guys this is such a wonderful thread. It makes my heart fell so...well, warm and fuzzy. Job well done!

Dear Coworkers,

I know we have our rough patches, but you guys kicked ass yesterday at the holiday party. It was probably the most fun I've ever had at one of our events- and I'd gladly do it every year moving forward over a fancy shmancy luncheon at some stuffy restaurant. Despite no one wanting to do a potluck party, the food was phenomenal. You were all great sports during the games and I was actually a little shocked at how well the whole thing went. It's days like yesterday that make me proud to work here. Also- it means a lot to me that you all spoke up about how much you appreciated all of the effort I put in. It was totally worth it.

and

Dear "Health Care Reimbursement" Check,

I was not expecting you and I'm still not quite sure why you're here but I love you. Thank you for making my already exciting weekend that much more awesome.

~Me

Dear Unicorn,

You are beautiful <3

Love Gareth

Thrillho · « **Reply #68 on:** 14 Dec 2012, 10:55 »

Dear The Relationship Thread, including neko, Carl-E, Pat, Unicorn, Welu, Linds, idontunderstand, BeoPuppy, Barmymoo, lepetitfromage, and I am genuinely sorry for anyone else I forget,

I love you guys. You have made the hardest time in my life just a little bit easier, just from being a wailing wall and giving genuinely good advice that I have done my best to take.

This forum has kind of become my group therapy at times, as much as a friendship group. I wish you guys were near to me so I could hug each and every one of you.

Love,
Gareth

Dear childhood dog,

You always loved me and always wanted my love. That was important.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #70 on:** 14 Dec 2012, 12:33 »

Dear Gareth,

I'd tell you to stop making me blush but I'm enjoying it far too much to say something so rash.

Love,

Unicorn

<3 so cute

Thrillho · « **Reply #72 on:** 22 Dec 2012, 15:35 »

Dear Colette, Thom M, Tom G, Lily, Jess, Olivia, Euan and Alex,

You have all provided me with invaluable support in your own ways since the breakup. I don't know what I'd have done without all of you, even though the help has been really unexpected in some cases - Tom G in particular, who was completely revelatory for me yesterday.

For the first time in three months, I actually feel lucky.

I love you all.

All the love in the world,
Gareth

Dear manager that I just found out is awesome,

You're pretty fucking rad and now I know I have somebody cool to turn to whenever my other manager is being a gaping axe-wound.

Love,
Me

nekowafer · « **Reply #74 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 11:40 »

Dear ferrets: I am sick but you made my day so much better by just being ridiculously fucking adorable. Even though one of you is sick as well, you both bounced and dooked and went nuts and we had fun chasing each other around. I am exhausted but happy.

Also;
Dear Elvis (the ferret),
I miss you buddy.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #75 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 11:57 »

Aww he was cute! Do you have any videos of them saying "dook"? I would love to hear that.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #76 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 12:03 »

Barmymoo · « **Reply #77 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 12:07 »

That ferret cannot be real! It has a SQUEAKER! Oh I have GOT to get a ferret. Tell me all about ferrets.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #78 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 12:09 »

They're the cutest fucking things in the world and they bring joy and smelly fur into your life but the smelly fur is eclipsed by the joy. They look like they were conceived in a tube sock and will stick their furry little faces into anything they can find. They're squirmy and fuzzy and I've insofar failed to meet a ferret that didn't love people and love to play.

Ferrets are bitchin'.

nekowafer · « **Reply #79 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 12:10 »

Ferrets go nuts for squeaky toys.

Just the ferret dook is more of a chuckling sound.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #81 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 12:12 »

Now imagine that dooking noise as it sticks its nose in your ear. It's impossible to be sad when that happens.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #82 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 12:12 »

Oh my goodness. I want a ferret.

bainidhe_dub · « **Reply #83 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 12:30 »

My dog thought that the noise it Unicorn's video was The Most Interesting Thing. We had just sent him out into the hallway (he likes to army-crawl in until he's right under our feet, then we have to kick him out again) and when I started the video he came peeking around the corner with his ears up, trying to figure out what was making the noise.

Papersatan · « **Reply #84 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 12:57 »

You guys have made me miss my ferrets.

I left my last one behind when we moved because we weren't allowed to have them in this apartment. He died last spring

No new pets until I have a job with a 5 year plan though. <sigh>

nekowafer · « **Reply #85 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 13:07 »

May: ferrets in general are bigger in the UK. They're often bred with polecats and are just huge and fat and fluffy and awesome. Get one so you can take pictures and I can then come steal him.

Kat: you can always volunteer at a shelter! Or go to a fundraising event. You can still play with stinky fuzzy things.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #86 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 14:43 »

If I get into Manchester for midwifery, which I feel is fairly likely, and if I move into the house I have sort-of arranged to live in, which is dependent on the former and also whether I think I want to live with two other people, then I'd be living with one person with pet mice and one person with a pet snake. We'd have to get them out at different times or there'd be a food chain in the living room...

Redball · « **Reply #87 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 15:04 »

Two species don't make much of a chain. On the other hand, snakes are said to taste like chicken. For that matter, humans have been called "long pig" by cannibals.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #88 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 15:29 »

Well the snake would go for the ferret, and the ferret might go for the mice, and then the chain would break down because we're all vegetarians so none of the humans would eat the snake.

Redball · « **Reply #89 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 15:54 »

Either don't go to sleep or set out a guard.

Carl-E · « **Reply #90 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 16:00 »

the snake would definitely go for the mice, but I don't think it could unhinge the jaw enough to fir a ferret unless it's a very large snake. The ferret might gp after the snake all mongoose-like, but I think it would probably just try and hide under something...

nekowafer · « **Reply #91 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 16:55 »

The ferret would just want to play with both the mice and the snake, unless you've found one with an actual prey drive.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #92 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 17:00 »

Yeah, ferrets have absolutely no concept of fear in the face of things that would normally eat them. It's why our cat got along with them so well, they just never knew they were prey.

nekowafer · « **Reply #93 on:** 13 Jan 2013, 17:11 »

My ferret Waffle, who was an itty bitty teeny little thing, just under 2 pounds, tried to play with a 50 pound dog. And of course played with my 12 and 14 pound cats. And before he got sick, he ruled the roost, kicking the butt of Elvis, my fattest ferret to date.

Dear neighborhood dog,

Your unfailing joy and friendliness are an inspiration, but do you give yourself enough credit for providing an emotional anchor to a 13-year-old who lost both her parents?

Patrick · « **Reply #96 on:** 14 Jan 2013, 01:47 »

The description I'm gathering of ferrets right now is one of a more annoying but more friendly (and less "I'm going to jump on you and claw the shit out of you to climb your arm up to your desk so you will love me" (this has happened to me)) version of a cat.

That's so god damn adorable.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #97 on:** 14 Jan 2013, 01:50 »

They are the dumbest and most adorably excitable animal in existence.

When I say dumb, I say it with sincerity and love.
