Platypus...one of the few poisonous mammals

Why the hell are those things poisonous? Talk bout over-engineering!
Lets see, it lays eggs, has a duck-bill, and is poisonous. I wonder if it can do my taxes?

lol. Yeah I know, well even the furry looking wierdos of the world have their poison hehe.

See this is why cityfolk get in trouble in places like this. If I saw a platypus I'd probably have tried to wrestle with it or something. "Poisonous? Naaahhh, it looks like a cute flappy-mouthed and flappy-assed beaver. Let's pet it!!!"

Oh yea, and you forgot stingrays. Or wait a second. Maybe stingrays aren't actually Australian........they might just sting Australians. :cross: Krike!!!

Hehe. Here's the real kicker. The guy was a friggin backwoods Australian. Lol. I mean heck I know how to identify about pretty much every dangerous plant and animal in PA. Not sure how common those Platypus's are there in Australia, but that is like a guy from the Bayou not knowing that the gators have teeth.

Missing posts.

I've deleted a couple of post because I referenced Bush and it was deemed "not right".

Sorry if it upset anyone.

Whatever you think of Bush, Blair, or whoever, politics don't belong here. That's the decree that's come in from above. Sucks sometimes, but by and large, that's the right policy, IMHO.

 

[Orfy]

I agree.

But the picture was funny.

 

[olllllo]

OP hasn't said boo in this thread in 2 days.

Probably because he doesn't care about:
1) The Metric System.
2) Various scientific means of measuring temperature.
3) Various anecdotal means of measuring temperature.
4) Unsolicited Seinfeld scripts.
5) Foreign currency.
6) Various means of measuring your penis.
7) The flora and fauna of Australia.
8) Lap dogs and chimps.

 

[Orfy]

I have a feeling that list will grow.

 

[iggy_fenton]

So what is the record for the longest thread?

 

[Pumbaa]

Edworts is the longest so far, 101 pages or 1057 posts at this time

What about a forum just for politics? It's sometimes very hard for over-opinionated pricks like me to keep their mouths shut. Name calling definitely allowed!

There are forums for that but I done think HBT should be one of them.
It's easy enough to start a row without getting serious about politics.

 

[the_bird]

Discussions about politics and religion - even if begun with open minds and friendly attitudes - never stay that way. Fact is, no one is ever going to change their mind about either of these issues based on what someone else says on a message board. All these discussions do is polarize people - someone's going to get pissed off, and it won't be contained to just the "politics" forum.

As I've said before, I probably wouldn't like half you mo'fo's if I knew your personal politics. No need to open this can o' worms for no real benefit.

There are plenty of places online to have those conversations; HBT is not one of them.

IMO this would be a bad idea. In non-HBT/internet life I love good political talk but I think it would be best to keep it off here. Just too many varied opinions - plus in an internet setting it's insanely hard not to have it devolve into a post-fight. Talking politics to someone in person, it is much easier to accurately make you point and not have it taken out of context and distorted. I think it would make the community less friendly and more argumentative. I think it's a bad idea.

...that all being said some of my posts were deleted so I'm obviously not able to keep my mouth shut either.

Well, I'm a Canadian so the worst it would come to with me is a good finger shaking in the general direction of my opponent, but I suppose you are all correct. If someone came across as a strong supporter of the that 'other' party, (who shall remain nameless) and refused to be swayed by my superior logic and intelligence, I would always be aware of their personality defects.

Let's just keep it beer. We all agree on that. :fro: :fro: :fro:

 

[Pumbaa]

I say we start our own Political party . . . It will be the Beer Party and we shall rule the world . . . lets just leave them IPA loving fools out it and it'll rock

 

[Ivan Lendl]

Umm, we'd out number 'yous' like 5 to 1...

see cant even have a Beer Political party without rabbelrousers

Seconded. Crazy hopheads.

 

[Ivan Lendl]

If you are gonna banish anybody it would have to be wheat beer drinkers. Come on, is that even really beer? They could be annexed with the brown ale, and fruit beer people too.

 

[Pumbaa]

OK Ok here we go . . . We'll allow the HopHeds in as a minority but them wheat and fruit beer freeks definetly have to stay out . . . What about the CAMRA people? They are like the NeoBeer people . . . we could use them as our attack dawgs in our effort to rise up and crush the wine swilling world:rockin:












BTW lets stake claims on mead as our own now so we can keep the Braggots

 

[Chairman Cheyco]

They are like the NeoBeer people . . .

I'd say they're closer to being ProtoBeer than NeoBeer. I'd say the Neobeerians would have to be the BMC drinkers.

Now as for the MetaBeerians, who knows?

 

[Buford]

We could call them RealAleians instead.
