dearest diatribe
I seriously reckoned with the notion of not even bothering with this, but I'm not into 'private matters' all that much, nor just brushing things aside, so:
To any and all who may have been slightly offended by one of my 'creature comforts' posts, either on this page, or prior, I'll say to to you to get out of your box and mature a bit. I shouldn't have to spend a nearly whole-dedicated hour reading another forum's dicsussion of a few people's whimpers for the TFP to finally grow some decency standards and put its clothes back on, and then happen to find some cloaked responses that punch me across the bow. This is an adult board, hence the +18 registration rule, and the various guidelines to providing stimulating discussion, and the once-reinforced strict rule of not posting any children whatsoever in the forums. Why all of these measures? because this is a mature, adult-oriented commons that features heavy talks of sexuality, politics, and nature, all of which are done in what one would deem 'adult language' from time to time. I don't need to coddle anyone here, and neither do the moderators. I do appreciate that I'm not constantly reminded here at the TFP of how popular 'goatse' once was on the internet, but if you actually need to consider whatever else you happen to find on this page as 'offensive' or 'not offensive', it's just not worth the effort. Most of us who can label ourselves as 'fully-functioning adults' will realize that anything found here, or in all of Nonsense, or in Tilted Sexuality, or even in Found on the Net, is by all measures, tame. We know how to regulate ourselves because this forum allows us to be nothing short of who we actually are, and with that, display our deepest personalities and occasional interests unfettered. Also, I'd like to wonder why such veiled comments about the structure above (I'm guessing this one) are all overwhlemingly negative. Is it different? Yes. Is it gruesome? Perhaps so. But so shockingly out-of-whack that I need to see it referenced nearly half-a-dozen times elsewhere on the forums as to how outrageous it was? That, is what seems outrageous. First of all, the animal is dead. Second of all, there is no 'gore factor' attached given that blood and guts (the eyes would melt away too) do not survive longterm, so this is merely a (false) effect given to the object's overall appeal and story. Third, it's just a frickin' taxidermy doll. In no way is it any more gruesome than watching Saving Private Ryan or reading The Kite Runner, so please, get off of your selective moral soapbox before it cracks. I'm so drained of even having to try this hard, for little to no recognition at all, in all facets of my attempts to interact, as well as extract, positive starting points towards genuine interest or discussion. (I'm not even sure why the hell I'm posting this pic if it's the exact opposite of how I feel. It was next in my queue, I guess. Oh, yeah, I was  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - It's 'Bunday' now. Go nuts.

Just want to say Jetée that your interesting, beautiful, intriguing images that you sift from the webz are always a treat and a bonus. I for one would find this forum lessened if you pared down your image input for whatever reason.
Bunday? ok - a lovely photo of our Genuine Girl's favourite beastie. chestnut_bunny_3_by_shnarfle_stock

I have designated today as my own personal "Panda Appreciation Day". It seems that without human intervention, they would probably be doomed to extinction (due to unfavorable human intervention)
So here's a sampling of these beautiful animals       |

I'd love to feature some more of his work, that's why I displayed the above to see if there was some sort of response to it, even if it was mixed. But I've really spread myself thin with all the very meticulous posts I add to the very contributive threads I've started over the past several months (which, frankly, get to be very lonely when most of the post count attributed the thread is 40 posts by me, and 4 posts by anyone else). I have an idea for several more (something about flying nuns, topless women and their housecats, random internet lists, etc.) but I'm not finding the time to feature all of the thousands of links, websites, games, photographers, and intriguing tidbits of web randomness I stumble across every week or so. I save them in my queue, yes, but it does take a little spark to remind that I have an awesome saved link that relates to this or that at any one particular time. Post edit: Also, what is that animal above? It looks like St. Bernard / Panda hybrid. So cool. I'm sure this person would love an animal the one above: ---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------
