I think from now on critters should not be given full weeks. It's too
confusing. I think one 24 hour period should suffice. Quite frankly, I'm having trouble managing my time at work. I already took vacation time for Zuni/Panda week and now I have to tell my boss that I need to be off for Penguin/Squid week. (also, it's just wrong that critters who are on the menu of other critters should share the same week).

Besides, let's face facts: Lounge Lizards have really short attention spans :crazy:

So, on that note, I nominate August 9, 2005 as the first official "Koala Day."

6. First off - the pandas was soooo two days ago and the penguins
were so yesterday and squids -- you guessed it --- so today. See, that just proves my point. Now, fix your sig line for tomorrow or you will receive ten demerits. :P

7. I thought it was the year of the Progmom! Shit! That means I have to
cancel my order on the special limited edition Franklin Mint hand painted and individually numbered "Year of the Progmom" plates :cry: What will I tell my children?

20. Yeah, lady - and it's not like these plates have pictures of pandas on
them. There goes $32.50 down the drain. x(

23. I'm sorry. It isn't. It's just a Picasso like design with the phrase:
"get with the progmom" on the outer edge.

never watched Koalas waffling one another. :(

12. Can we reduce the increments to the space of an hour?
For instance, "What are you doing for Cuban_Liberal hour?"

Answer: vomiting.

19. We could, but I have to tell you that there's probably going to be a bit
of a scheduling conflict. Yeah. See. I looked it up and CL hour is gonna overlap "mole hour" by about 45 minutes or so. Oh wait. Maybe that's not a problem after all. Nevermind. :o

25. Penguins have not been adored appropriately!
And you have yet to go see the movie where the mommy penguin lays eggs from which baby penguins emerge! :freak:

Penguins deserve more respect and adoration!



The Penguins are still plotting!

42. I agree.
I can't focus for an entire week on anything. I mean what happens when we run out of cute or interesting animals? Does anyone really want to stick around for leech week?

46. Let's just start a Zoo Picture and Animal Picture group
That way we can drool all over the adorable animal pictures year round 24/7/365/100/1000

While we are at it, let's just start a general animal pictures free for all thread. I'll happily break out the rubbing alcohol and tp afterwards to clean the drool off my monitor. Oooh, that sounded bad, didn't it? I need to go to bed. I've been up over 24 hours at this point. Why haven't I gone to bed yet. I'm delirious.
