A partner

[Chava]

Okay... I got this from a neurologist.
First. Think of your favourite animal, any animal. Now list five reasons why this is your favourite animal....
I will, at some indefinite later point write what this means.. can't say it yet because it would spoil everything...
Cheers!

cat
they are lazy yet sharply alert, soft yet fluid & precisely coordinated (yes that was 1 answer!)
they are regal
they bestow themselves upon us
they have mesmerizing eyes
they like to rub against my legs and purr so that i will pet them for hours

[Scheherazade]

Monkeys

Clever
Capable
Physically strong
Deep, intelligent eyes
Sense of humour (or at least they do like they have great sense of humour)

Some say monkeys are ugly but I find their 'ugliness' cute... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they said. :)

DOG

loyal
cute
fury
adorable
easy to take care of

[kilted exile]

Goldfish

Requires little attention
Quiet
Cheap
Easily replaced
Easy to dispose of when it dies

Hey hey hey, wait, does this "partner" thing have anything to do with this? :D

Well, I don't *really* have a favourite animal, I like all animals, but I do have some favouriteS.

Squirrel. (Bet none of you could have guessed.)
Cute, perky ears,
small, scampering,
nut-loving,
lightning-fast,
adorable;
would make a great pet. :nod:

Sadly we don't have any squirrels in Australia...

Sugar glider.

(Also called squirrel glider...)

Beautiful beady black big eyes that glint in the moonlight
shy little mouth and pink nose
oh-so-soft grey fur
folds of membraneous skin used to fly with (glide with)...
creature of the night.

Of course, all other sorts, too, like feather-tailed gliders, and possums as well though they're not as small, they're as cute...

Monkey.

Playful, mischievous
full of life,
darting from branch to branch,
cute, furry,
intelligent.

I especially like squirrel monkeys...hmmm....is there a connection...

[Chava]

Dogs have owners, cats have slaves......sorry, random piece of vague memory....
I must admitt this is all incredibly entertaining....

[subterranean]

and their connection with "A PARTNER" is ......................??

[Monica]

guinea-pig

cheerful
independent
fluffy
unforseen
intelligent (in his/her own way :))

[Chava]

right. Now according to this very intelligent neurologist (he really is a smart fellow) those five qualities, are exactly what we are searching for in a partner. (as some of you, incredibly smart people have undoubtedly guessed already) so, please do, go look at your pets with new astounded eyes....

[amuse]

so because i like to be enslaved by gorgeous felines i want to be enslaved by a gorgeous man? :D

[Chava]

Something like that....:)

[amuse]

roflmao
i will not tell me ex as we still see each other a LOT. :p

[kilted exile]

Goldfish
Easy to dispose of when it dies

Ok, so any future spouse had better not expect some damned expensive burial.

[Chava]

I had quite a laugh over yours.....hehe.... somewhat, very stereotypically scottish

[papayahed]

Elk

Travel in Herds, easy to track

So, how does this stack up against past/current partners?

[subterranean]

Yea, my thoughts also...

So, is that means that I like a furry partner...??

[Taliesin]

We didn't read the last page. It was too much of a trouble.
Now, our chosen animal was:
Amoeba .....

[Chava]

It's funny you should mention an Amoeba, friend of mine did the same....

[Helga]

I heard of this some time ago and I agree, I think. My fave animal is

dog (Spock)
cute
caring
cuddles
loving
smart

I heard a joke once about a woman who lived alone and her only companion was her cat. One day a fairy godmother came to her and told her she could have one wish. Well her wish was that her cat would turn into a beautiful young man that loves her dearly. So be it said the fairy godmother, and the cat turned into a young man. The young man said to his love: don't you regret it now that you had me neutered.

[Snukes]

On the other hand, I once wrote a story about a little old lady that turned all her little old men suitors INTO cats...

I don't think she had any motivation. Nor, I suppose, did I when writing about it. :)

I think the Elk wins the best ideal mate competition. :D

[baddad]

So, how does this stack up against past/current partners?


Well now! The ex-wives do travel in a pack, they are way-too-easy to track, I have on occasion mistaken them for someone else, they certainly have made bent tuba sounds....and I have seen their hooves, so they must be ungulates of some sort (demons perhaps? )....I shan't answer the rest......

[Chava]

I think this thread is starting to reach the over 18.... :)

[imthefoolonthehill]

I don't know what you are talking about... you must have a sick mind
