Sorry, it's just cracking me up. :D
Now a cracked horsey would be interesting. Painful but interesting.
 
Horsey has been elected President of HANDS - Horses Annunciate Neat Diction Society - it's a 'measure' of horsey's success ;)

Perfect. It captures that hesitant uncertainty as to whether they're actually human, or indeed organic.

It's a delight to see so many old friends on this thread. Ah, it's a warm and cozy feeling. Nuzzles to all of you, and a hope that some day we'll all be sitting 'round a pub table together.

As for this ...

Spokesanimal for what, I wonder.

Hi Shang :kiss: :kiss:

He's the opening face in the new screenplay project (I'm roughing it out while the other cools off for revision) - an animated film. He's a sleek, gorgeously groomed fox pitching for "Heartland Biodiversity" - "We're here because we care." It sounds so much more folksy and consumer-friendly that way, unlike "purveyors of radically genetically modified creatures." ;)

(If God is feelng incredibly kind, it will be bought and William Shatner will play the spokesfox. Please? I'll be a really, really good horsey ...)
 
Occasionally I discover a spokesanimal. Typically a squirrel... durn things can throw you right from your bike and they don't make the fun noise that a playing card or two make.

Interesting that you should mentioned squirrels. ;) Be careful when riding in America's heartland.
 
Good TO see you around again my Dear... you have been missed you know.

In two days my spokes animal is TURKEY lololo

yes, they seem to go for the nuts.


Always.

Though, I don't ride as often as I did or should. makes me all sweaty.

I DIG squirrels! They are just an absolute blast to watch- one of nature's most talented acrobats. They're damn near as inventive, ingenious, and improvisational as raccoons at getting into anything.

We once purchased a bird feeder with suction cups in an effort to defeat the squirrels. Using the suction cups, we placed the feeder a solid six feet up on a sliding glass door. Two days later, we were regaled by the sight of the damn things as they took a birdseed-or-bust running start ten-odd feet away in order to launch themselves at the glass door. Damned if they didn't literally scramble all the way up the glass and help themselves. It was just amazing to watch.

I find myself unable to avoid watching them as they traverse a quarter mile using nothing but the tree highway- crossing a road with nonchalant death-defying leaps.

I've even mastered a smidgen of squirrel talk (what the hell- most people already think I'm a bit squirrelly, anyway)!

'tween squirrels, deer, fox, birds and 'coons, who needs a boob tube?


 
Funny. My first thought was that Shang was talking about the Geico gekko.

You know, I've always wondered why a gekko would have an English accent . . . .

Beautiful!

In my own world, he's only normal squirrel size. He is, however, capable of throwing a truck.

He's a subtle guy.

Ride, THROBBS, ride!

Shang, I am so intrigued! IS there a nefarious plot?

Better. There's a break-out. :D AND a nefarious plot. Muahahahahaha!

Someone doesn't think all the way through the consequences of breaking through security when a place is full of clever and remarkable creatures that would all like to leave. ;)

I hope that someone in movie land finds this as much fun as I do, because I'm having a blast writing it. I can just see the poor, pinned little spokesfox now - "Not the face! Not the face!" :D
 
[pointless comment]

I have to say, US squirrels always freaked me out. Never quite got used to the way they look.

That brought a smile. Shatner's awesome. Successful author, lately of Boston Legal, singing Common People - what a hoot. My fingers are crossed.
