I've recently been having a great deal of harrassment from an overly aggressive ferret that has invaded my property. I was informed by a leading ferret specialist that playing the ferret Englebert Humperdink records would cause it to realise the error of its ways and make it move on. However, it would appear the ferret has stolen my entire Englebert collection (no more Quando, Quando, Quando) and sold it on the black market at quite a profit. I am at my wits end. Will Tom Jones work?

I thank you in advance for you assistance.

[Eek!]

Posted by StigLarson (Member # 5579) on :

You can laugh Leonide but that wasn't your Englebert collection.

I knew having a British person around here would increase the quality of the entire board.

Posted by Leonide (Member # 4157) on :

Is he? cause, man, that's just some excellent stuff up there. Made 5 times cooler by his nationality and accent.

Uhm, you do know that multiplying something cool with .5 makes it half as lame, right?

Posted by Erik Slaine (Member # 5583) on :

I thought he was from Del Monte.... [Dont Know]

Posted by StigLarson (Member # 5579) on :

Its good to know being British makes me .5 as lame as I would be otherwise. If only you could tell the ferret that.

Aw, I thought this was going to be a great new recipe, to be served on toast. Well, that's an idea. Lay toast all over your yard, then while the ferret is napping on one, douse him with a hot cream sauce. Problem solved. [Roll Eyes]

*giggle*

hmm, that .5 was unintentional....let me remedy that ....British people are never lame! unless they have a bum leg or something. [Wink]

Leo - I've chatted with StigLarson. He's a 6'6" dark brown hair/green-eyed guitar player from Birmingham that works in a law office by day.

Shall we sigh lustfully in unison?

....and trains voles by night

It's an awful sight to see naive, young men come to Hatrack. They think that they'll just pop in for a couple threads, but before you know it they disappear into a 'private chat' with Ralphie and the next thing you know they've been sucked dry of life and they're just another faceless minion in Ralphie's army of undead love slaves. Sad, really.

help

Posted by Erik Slaine (Member # 5583) on :

Too late stig... much too late.

Aside: just what do you train these voles to do? [Dont Know]

Posted by Audeo (Member # 5130) on :

*sigh* someone else who believes in voles. You'd be surprised at how adamantly people refuse to believe voles exist. "You mean mole right?" "No I mean vole!" "Vole? no such thing." It can be very frustrating. [Wall Bash]

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

Wait, Stormy - wha?

Posted by Erik Slaine (Member # 5583) on :

Voles , not just a pest, but cute and fuzzy too!

We had a star-nosed mole in our cold air return duct over a winter once. We think it was just one, because we never saw two at once. We line the area under the vent with aluminum foil so it looks nicer and is easier to clean. After the first snow one year, we noticed that the cats spent a lot of time looking down the vent. The aluminum foil had a couple of little bumps in it, like 3" igloos. We took out the foil, and there was a collection of cockatiel seed stashed underneath. So the mole had to travel clear to the dining room where the bird lives to get food. The new foil got bumps right away. My husband, soft-hearted as he is, started putting seeds and a water bowl in the duct so the mole wouldn't have to risk the trip to the dining room. Somtimes the cats and I would wait and get to watch the cute little mole with his yellow nose star. In the spring, he left.
