A reptile's sight

I know,. I've read them all. Pretty insane stuff. We had a petition go out to the "powers that be" concerning the Humane Society of the United States stand on their ideas of reptile keeping, or non keeping I should say.
Rusty

Smynx, LOL I'll tell them you get to keep your purse. :)

Rusty, I hate how misleading that organization's name is. It's unethical, I think, and they don't even own or operate a single shelter.

Anyone else, this http://www.animalscam.com/ is a very good starting point for info, and for more, see http://www.happyvalleyasylum.com/sea...hits=10&Rank=1 which has many links to both sides of the issue (as well as 4000 unrelated links /gratuitous plug).

Smulkin, I didn't mean in reference to you :)

But a lot of newbs read her stuff and think "wow she must be an uber herp genius, wow, she even has a book"

LOL cool - I had no idea I had stumbled upon the site of such a herpetological . . . land mine hehe.

Do any of you have any idea whether the sight (rods/cones) or hearing (vestigal conductors) references were off? I'll dig around for her source material in any event . . . but I'll never be able to undo the humor inflicted by my new favorite term (sorry sphagnum) cloacal popping.

Awwww Smulkin....you recruit all us Sphagnum fans, get us all excited and frenzied...and then just leave us for whatever other idiom-floozy catches your fancy??? I'm so...crushed, like sphagnum that's been dried and ground in the mortor. :cry:

:P :P :P :P :P

LOL - Judy you're too funny.

Well then let me donate one of my favorite old-school neologisms:

DEFLICTED

Defenestration is a classic favorite of mine.

Marla, I can't believe you said that. Smulkin fell in love with the word "fenestration" after reading a short story called "Indian Uprising" by Donald Barthelme!

Another all-time favorite is "flicktarded."

Sure, flicktarded is a fun word, if not so PC. Defenestration is, for me, a lot more fun than fenestration -- I mean, really, which one makes a better threat? "I'm going to install windows!" or "I'm going to pitch you out a window!" Fenestration would probably be more fun for me if it were used to replace the non-verb "O.S." that is used around here to refer to installing an operating system, in the case of MS installations in this case.
