    Pardon me. I may have gotten lost on my way to the meeting of the International Association of Pine Cone Bird Feeder Manufacturers. Perhaps our organizations can work together?

    I learned today (on MFP.com no doubt) that rodents like peanut butter. When is your organization going to stop ignoring this important issue? Birds and rodents getting married? It is written, birds and bees, not birds and rodents. Please respond to this important issue!

    Your objection to groups intermarrying did not rhyme, so I cannot take it seriously. Returning to the topic, ahem, perhaps I could get a tax break to employ hobos in the manufacture of pine cone bird feeders, thereby benefiting both organizations and their constituencies.

    While I completely understand that,
    (and I slightly suspect you're a cat):
    my lack of ability to make this plea rhyme
    Doesn't mean I don't deserve the time.

    Pine cone feeders are for the birds,
    And on the ground they leave turds;
    Rodents want the peanut butter,
    The risk result makes me shutter.

    Birds were meant to be with bees,
    You join with Hobos with such ease;
    The atrocity before us is so real,
    Those Hobos lie, cheat and steal.

    It is time for all the feeders,
    to stop the cross-species breeders;
    Keep the rodents from the fowl,
    Make a feeder that stops them now!

    This could be funny if people weren't actually stabbing hobos and videoing it. It's happened in Russia and I think UK that I've heard of.

    Pine cone hobo-feeder instructions, s'il vous plait. Not for use as bait, mind you. Strictly altruistic.

    Me, too. We need to make a commerical with Sarah McLachlan holding a dead hobo-stabbing joke while a sad, sad song plays in the bakeground. Or maybe she should be holding a dead sense of humor.

    I love you

    First they came to stab the hobos, but since I was not a hobo, I did not speak out....



    Just saying... if we're gonna enforce the guidelines:

    No ... endorsement of violence against any person or group, even if couched in humor, will be permitted

    then we've gotta enforce them evenhandedly.

    Silly as it may seem, I'd prefer to maintain my credibility when someone posts a rape "joke" post (yes, they exist from time to time) and then says "but I was only kidding."

    I'd much rather be seen as a silly hand-wringer in the case of moderating this thread, than lacking authority later when truly needed.

    SO.... clang <snick>

    Lockarooni.
