In defense of the Hawkster, (for ONCE!) he actually does put the toilet seat down.

Actually, he leaves it down. (Bet you really wanted to know that... *g*)

Oh, and Carol, now that you've seen a pic of my hamster, are you SURE you want to settle for a man or a ferret? Face it, hamsters are FAR superior. (Especially in the cuteness of the posterior...) That cute face! Those black, beady eyes! That soft fur! Those funny poses! That stubby little tail!

Think about it.

flattop - As hesperis indicated, I don't raise the stupid seat in the first place. Why? Because there's no need to. If I'm in the forest I pee standing up, but when I'm in a comfortable bathroom then why not relax and sit down? It works fine, and you don't have to worry about aiming. It utterly baffles me why virtually all men feel that they must pee into a toilet standing up, but I suppose it's because that's the way they were first taught to do it, and nothing more than that. Doh!

Either that, or they're just too damn lazy to pull down their own pants.

Believe me, the women are way ahead on this one. Doesn't surprise me one bit, cos that's usually the case...

I am offended that you would term my compassion "cavalier". Yes, deeply offended. I demand satisfaction. Meet me in front of the Orillia Opera House at noon tomorrow, and we shall have it out. The first man to misquote a line from any Bob Dylan song has to strip off all his clothes and run naked down the main street of Orillia (that's Mississaga Street for all you people out there in La-la land), and then jump off the dock into Lake Couchiching. The jump will not, however, be required if the Lake is frozen over...

Having been a boyfriend a few times, go for the ferret.

I don't know if the hamster or the ferret is the answer. Sure the hamster is cute and cuddly, a little rounded lump o' love, but is that enough. The ferret has a certain physiological resemblance to a popular (for some) bit of male anatomy. Add to that the fur, playfulness and smell and you could be dealing with a man after all.

Still, there's nothing like the real thing!

I'm pleased that you put the seat down Little Hawk. Other than that we should probably save our piliosophies of toileting until we meet. Do you realize how many men you've offended who only have that one bad habit of leaving the seat up? (WyWoman sounds like the kind of man we need around the house, Little Hawk.)

I realize that you have urges to run through Orillia naked. However, I believe the proper and traditional ettiqute is that is that one person can challenge another to a duel and the other person get to decide on swords or pistols and the venue. I don't think Dylan is a sword or a pistol. Well, maybe he's a pistol, metaphorically.

To initiate a duel, you are supposed to slap me with a glove or something. If you slap me with your silly orange and brown soft angora mittens with huge thumbs that you knitted to match your silly orange and brown soft angora hat while sitting for hours on the toilet, I may just laugh in your face. I hope you've burnt that knitting pattern. Don't knit me a set for next Christmas.

By the way, when are you going to have enough confidence to wear mittens that don't have strings running through the arms of your jacket? Come on. Take a risk like tough Canadian boys do. Lose a mitten now and again. It's not all that tramatic. So, one afternoon you lose a mitten and can't make perfect snowballs. You'll live though it.

Hitting me with your nickel studded supple leather collar won't do either. It's too stylish and inoffensive. And you can forget about using your nylon half-body harness with lined wrist & ankle cumfy cuffs. If I see you coming with that apparatus you won't get close enough to slap me. I'll run slipping and sliding through the snow up Mississauga Street to the Police station on Peter Street.

The only piece of clothing that you wear that might respectably be used to initiate a duel is that 48-pocket harmonica holder. Who would not want to shoot you if they got hit over the head with a leather apron loaded with 48 harmonicas? How can you walk wearing that thing?

On a more important matter, I haven't seen your written excuse on the Seamus in Snyder thread. Since Praise invited the Orillia gang to drive to Buffalo in a snowstorm, it's pretty important. Did you ever feel welcome in Buffalo before? Do you realize that, if you pass in no excuse, you will lose even more points than you would had you writing a feable excuse?

"flattop... step over here and say that."

I've heard that line before Carol but I never expect American women to be ready for combat.

Well, as an increasingly-interested lurker here, and a female empathetic to Carol's dilemma, I've got to ask: how can a woman ferret out which Mudcat men are single/available and which have already been snared?

Will someone make a new thread for it?

LOL! Amergin, is that supposed to reflect on me or on 'Mr. Whoa!!' ?

I may be desperate, but I'm not desparate. ;)

And, I don't intend to creep on Carol's thread, either.

Will you start a new one?

flattop,
I am shocked and appalled.

"piliosophies"???

"WyWoman"???

"tramatic"???

"Mississauga"??? Are you talking about the CITY or what? In Orillia, we have *Mississaga* street. He-llooo!

"feable"???

What is WITH the feeble non-excuse for real spelling?!!! I do hope you realize that you also are being graded? Although you are getting good points for originality, your poor spelling is really dragging your marks down. Please correct this in future installments of your story.

Amergin - While I'm on the subject of poor spelling: when you wrote "desparate", did you mean disparate or desperate? *g*

Get a Corgi. Better yet, get two. Perfect People, they are. Just ask Queen Lizzie......or me. She has 20 some, I only have 2. Time for part Two of Carol's Ferrets?

A Corgi is a dog. I'm not sure if they can spell better than you can, and as for replacement, it depends on what you want it to do. I still like rats.

This thread is getting overloaded (any time you go over 100 messages in a thread you start killing off the weaker members of the browser family). Sorcha started a Part II Continuation of this Thread thread, and it would be good for the environment and everything if we would all go over there.
