¿ question of the day ? for friday 12th october:

what kind of creature was your pet that you named yesterday, and what did your guesser guess?

me:

rory was an ant - terry guessed parakeet

isla was a west highland terrier - terry guessed hen lol

jumbo was a hamster - zormix's guess just made herself blush

bobby was a budgie - johnston guessed blue whale

Raimonda (*) was a grey-black striped housecat with white face and feet - Frieda guessed her a horse (**).

(*)name inspired by Ronald Biggs' Brazilian girlfriend Raimunda de Castro btw - I saw a film about them at that time we got the cat
(**)not entirely wrong though cos Raimi loved to watch the neighbours' horses - from a save distance

"the bird" was actually a budgerigar and not a sax player as hypothesised by craig johnston

Vermicelle was a tabby cat, long and stretchy (hence the name) - peryl guessed gerbil

Albert was a white cat with orange and black spots - aubrey guessed MOOSE. She used to scratch me because i was too little and she thought my parents gave me too much attention.

Jules was a rooster (zRo guessed hermit crab). He wasn't really a pet, he just hung out in the garden. He would chase me around and peck at me - a real meanie (i wasn't very much taller than him back then). My grandfather told me i should carry a stick around, and then basically gave me a glorified twig to do it with..it didn't really help, but him and my dad got a good kick out of watching me try to fend off the rooster with my twig. :rolleyes:

sorry fox. silly me. what was the name of your pet sax player though?

:confused:

Twizzle was a part siamese tabby cat. Tunesmith guessed "parakeet".

I think auntie aubrey guessed "goldfish" for Nickel the mouse, but it got a little hard to read right around there.

nutmeg was a dog, a terrier/lab mix that looked like benji as a platinum blonde. lukku guessed horse.

pete is a marmalade tabby cat, and the second hobo cat i ever took in. my roommate from that summer now owns him and changed his name to "sampson." pete was named after an iguana named pete that my friend pete owned. pete didn't name his iguana after himself, though. he named him after his friend pete. later i named a white 1993 toyota corolla after that cat. noxx guessed monkey.

Kenny "Budgie" G.

zero, did you name all of your ants, or just the one?

was thinking about the tail...


Roosters are mad violent bastards, btw. You should be proud of having been brave enough to even go outside with one as a bitty guy. :D

This is a lot of fun, z; thanks for the topic. :)

:mad: waay too personal!!

^no, too personal would be asking how frequently you had sex with your ants...:eek:

I was just curious how you crafted all their teeny little nametags.

i only had the one ant, and that was rory. it was long time ago, yet sometimes to this day when (for example) i'm floating on a perfect angle of shoulder and pillow, i still find myself thinking back with infinite fond ness to that sunny afternoon we spent together.

tony was a hamster. he found his sad death on my bike carrier rack one sunday afternoon as i had decided that he would benefit from going for a ride with me. being five years old, it did not occur to me that clamping poor tony to the back of my seat would break his spine... ( it did though )

tip's guess was frog.

so sad. still, at least tony died doing something that not many hamsters have done before or since. console yourself knowing that the same would have happened even if he had been a frog.


it was one of yours early hair clamps you used, presumably?

o anyone could have made the same mistake xormiz, don't beat yourself up about it - who would have imagined that such an innocuous looking contraption would turn out to be a HAMSTER DEATH TRAP? twiggy forgives you.
