We all have our pet peeves, naturally, but recently there's been a dangerous trend because of pet peeve overbreeding: Feral peeves. When pet peeves escape, but haven't been sterilized first, they roam the landscape pretty much at will, in ragged packs, and sooner or later the urge comes over the feral peeves to breed and the next thing you know it's wild peeves.

That's right, peeves that have never known the gentle touch of a human mind, peeves that bear little or no resemblance to their feral parents because of the uncontrolled crossing of formerly-isolated traits.

You see, like dog and cat breeders, people have been selecting peeves for various traits over the millenia, and as the years pass these peeves begin to exhibit weaknesses (just as our other carefully shaped pets.) Returned to the wild, the feral ones are mixing the whole thing back up again and the wild peeves are much hardier and more cunning.

It's time to do something, I tell you, before peeves take over the board. Own up to your responsibility! Make sure YOUR peeves don't spread. You owe it to yourself, and the world.
 
Interesting.

I now believe have a genetic and innate duty to flirt.
 
Those peeves, they travel in packs, don't they? What can a guy like me do if he is beset by them whilst venturing in the wild?

Ok, I can do that. I hope Hanns is with me. I hear he has a bad lung, and can't run very fast. Then I won't have to outrun the peeves, just outrun Hanns.
 
I've heard the feral peeves howling in the fields as they hunt at night. Bone-chilling sound, that.

Right. Like a mother kangaroo throwing her joey out to distract the dingoes (dingos? dingii?) so she can get away. Excellent plan.

I just try to work with what I've got. I believe everything has a purpose, and now I finally know Hannsie's.
 
and that's another thing...

Did you know you can drop peeves? Pet ones, feral ones, new ones, old ones, wild ones, sneaky ones, favorite ones, any peeve at all can be dropped. Of course, you can also take them out in the woods and leave them, but sometimes they find their way back. Dropping them from a height sufficient that you hear a satisfying ~spluthph~ leaves nothing but a small greasy smear for the scavengers to pick at, so once you've banished that image from your mind you've also rid yourself of a peeve.

Curiously refreshing, albeit a bone of contention with certain environmentalists and the People for the Unconditional Love of Peeves (PULP).
 
Spelling buddy? Can we get a clarification, please? Do you have pet pervs or perv peeves?
 
Wow. I never knew it was such a problem. I've been kicking one of my pet peeves in the testicles for the past 10 minutes. If he ever escapes no way will he be able to breed.

Thanks Lukky.

In a peeveless society, you mean? Never fear, we can't possibly eliminate them all, I'm just trying to keep the recent surge in the numbers from expanding into a pandemic, disruptive challenge.
 
So maybe they're cyclical, LK. You know, they become pandemic, and then, because of outside forces of random selection, they are wiped out...become extinct...kind of like the dinosaurs. Or...maybe they evolve into other life forms. I'll bet that they could even evolve into a money making scheme.:D
 
Could be, eros, I admit to studying well under a century's worth of data, but the trend I see is disturbingly geometric in the growth and spread, not to mention this newly identified issue with the increased robustness and resistance to formerly effective means of limitation and/or elimination.
 
Hypothetically speaking, what would you do if you got a message from somebody admitting to being a peeve-aholic?
 
There has been a herd - perhaps gang is the more apt plural/collective term - of rogue peeves spotted heading for the General Board. To be forewarned is probably not enough on a Friday night.
 
A mere gaggle. The radar doesn't resolve quantities over one quadrillion.
