Carnivorous Christmas

[Guest]

OK.

We've had the Guppy Christmas; cute little fish tank with feeding stations. It was a nice present, and of course our guppy population grew.

Bigger tank now, and more fancy guppies, but we think the giant Plecostomus is keeping order (ahem - devouring the young) because even with the breeder grass we aren't seeing a population explosion these days. So - no big problem.

Then we had the Ant Farm Christmas. They were vicious and mean and kept trying to attack us when we'd open a tiny spot in the lid to give them food. I should have known there would be problems when the instructions said to put the ants in the refrigerator for awhile to calm them down before adding them to the ant farm.

They shared their food, buried their dead, they were tireless workers, and I can still remember them running towards us humans with their jaws agape. Mercifully they have all since passed away.

But this year! This year we have something new.

Today two sets of Carnivorous Creations just arrived in the mail.

I don't know - what do you think? Hubby and I laughed when we ordered them, and I have a feeling that this present is one of those "Here we go again . . . !"

If you start hearing "feed me... FEED ME" coming from the window-sill, better move house.


Guppy Xmas

 

[BlackShanglan]

God bless us all, every one of us. Otherwise Mommy shall throw us to the giant pitcher plant now occupying three quarters of the game room and twitching its roots in a distinctly unsettling fashion.

(But I am disappointed ... I see no triffids.)

Only if it has Levi Stubb's voice.

I'm only writing to say that while reading this thread, my 2 yo daughter, who is in my lap and checking things out, fell in love with Shang.

Ah, bless the darling. *horsey nuzzles* for her.

Shanglan

She's telling you "Yee-haw" for some reason.

 

[BlackShanglan]

She's telling you "Yee-haw" for some reason.

*laugh* She sounds like a real charmer. All the best to you both.

 

[NoJo]

My kid says that when he sees your tits. He's 13.

Is that anything like my 3 year old and her 'pretty horsey' comment?

No, no triffids.

Also no Night of the Lepus, Spawn of the Slithus or even Astro Zombies.

Sorry, Shang.

*giggle, giggle, giggle*.
Just what I need to lift a crap mood.

And for Shang..

I haven't seen a dramatised version of the book for years......I'm sure we're due for a new re-make. Just think what the special effects guys could do with those evil things now. *shudder*.

I can think of worse fates than to be admired by the small and delightful beings of this world.

BWAH!

OH, that's sweet. It's a good way to bond, reading porn with your son.

So, he takes after you then?

Cool stuff sarahh.

If I was going to get 'interesting' pets, it would be sandkings.

They look too much like the ants we had.

The solution to your problem is to get an aardvark.

"A burrowing mammal (Orycteropus afer) of southern Africa, having a stocky, hairy body, large ears, a long tubular snout and a heavy tail which eats ants." [Quote from Websters New World Dictionary Second Edition.]

An aardvark will solve your ant problems and it is a unique animal, as the dictionary description makes quite clear.

But what do you have to get to get rid of the aardvark when the ants are gone? A lion?

I've heard this song before.

Yeah, remember how that one ends?

You better not be callin' me an old lady.

Who explodes.

There are methods for getting rid of an aardvark, although why would someone want to get rid of a unique animal? In any case, watch out for that tail!

 

[BlackShanglan]

You'll need considerably more than an aardvark to get rid of a sandking infestation.

Great story. Creepy.
