Was that a Myki ticket machine as a symbol of ‘modernity’?? LOL. If only.
No one can help that poor tapir with that machine.
the get ready for this week’s mystery box on master chef - tapir and figs - your challenge is the select the most endangered part, slice it perfectly and either fry, bake, sear or boil that lovely fresh flesh to best suit the figs. also, that contestant which can best shape a tapir hind leg into a crutch to help gary with his broken leg - if you don’t know what i am talking about, then you are not a keen MC watcher! - get extra points…”tapir thursday” tv ads will start being aired from tonight…see, another toon FD, off home early again, well done!
I share their crepuscularity. Come 5pm I’m suddenly wide awake and ready to forage and have fun with friends.
aaagh! I’ve checked Gravatar and nothing has changed, so where has my new avatar gone??
now it’s back
Mynd you, tapir bites Kan be pretty nasti…
Oh FFS!! Get that tapir off my lawn.
The game’s up FD.
We all know you’re just trying to convince Mrs Onthemoon,
that it’s really not a baby elephant with a short trunk.
Good try, but no banana.
I like the black and white one.
Tapirs are also crap at domino mazes.
4 Corners ignores the figs. But they got someone to cry.
Buzz is messing with my mind. It’s always the big lizard thingy in the glow of the comet that will end it.
Crepuscular - my favourite word in the whole world, and now it’s in a cartoon!
I’d better lock up my figs!
BUZZ: You’ve been so popular with the blokes around here that it seems a shame to change your avatar.
Tapirs-crepuscular though they are, as in odd toed ungulates. They’d go down a treat in Oz Olympic swimming sports, as they are fantastic swimmers, despite their not having webbed feet. Also, with a proboscis like that they not have to come up for air. Olé
OH, HOW I LOVE YOU BUT GEE … sorry! (Rhymes bit of a tatter too.)
I love figgy pudding
in victoria bestest than anywhere elses’ (I’m serious…delicious)
poems by Kate L. http://www.librarything.com/work/3013464
” Trader Kate and the Elephants ” bestest volume of her poems for me
no I’m not paid anything
yes but sadly not for years…
had to sing next line after next to commit to pa… for posterity some words of bestest song
thinking what has possibly gone wrong for avatar BUZZ
“She starts to glitter when the sun goes down a-bout 8pm/ it’s mayhem/she switches those …”*
that’s not the whole of it
that’s not all folks
I like the thing like the perentie used to run up the tree next the vranda
and freeze immobile to wait to dart to slurp up some tucker;
it made me feel like I was safe among the gum trees (sadly that’s a mixed metaphor).

My comment is waiting moderation!
Is it because I linked to a volume by my favourite Australian poet ?
I think it’s good to tapir off after a long weekend.
I won’t fall into that trap!
Tat’s a nice smile.
It’s a fur better thing we do.
MIKE J: And tapiring off to a short week, no less.
very cute
Buzz, I had some weirdness with the Gravatars, myself. I went over there and deleted all the old ones, re-established the new one…… and I flushed out the browser’s cache (just in cache) - by deleting all history, cookies etc
I really have no idea what I’m doing (obviously) - but that seemed to work and the new Gravatar stuck.
Good Luck.
My gravatarse doesn’t have sufficient gravitas
Ta Mike. I cleared my cache and that seemed to do the trick.
Wonder what FD has in store for us today. (&)
Well that emoticon short-cut didn’t work.
Did you look here?

I wonder if this one will work
Bugger. it was meant to be eyes rolling
That one was meant to be blushing.
Hurry up First Dog. I’m on the floor ready to roll.
EMC, Roll ? Into a fur ball ? Ahem.
MESKI: I’m going to try these emoctions….
I knew these anyway
It will be interesting to see what happens.
MESKI: Well well well, they work. Why I thought they might not work is due to the fact I use a Mac.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers

EMC: How did you produce the tongue sticking out avatar?
Venise: type the word roll between two colons and you get
It is supposed to come up as rolling eyes, but tongue out is good too.
EMC: I’m going to try it now.
EMC: Wow. You too are a genius.
Thanks a heap.
Cheers
Venise
Venise: Me no genius — I just got it from the site Meski mentioned the other day.
So satisfying. Thanks I think I have it.
