I'd nominate Democrats. Cuz I can see the future. And then I'd just pickle the last one again. --------------- Don't care. Still voting Trump! ---------- |

Quoting: Deplorable Zenobia So, this news just makes me go 'hmmmm.' They want to bring back the Tasmanian tiger (Australia). Uglier than a hyena, holy shit, bless its heart that only a mama could love. Short video... There's talk about bringing back mammoths. Me personally, I'd settle for one of the smaller cousin species of a Pterodactyl. So GLP bar patrons, what say you? Good idea, bad idea? It depends upon the species. Not all pose anywhere near the same threat. Having a T-Rex blocking traffic on the DC beltway could cause problems. |

Most of the time it's due to gene pool shrinkage. The cheetah is a species that is suffering from that factor. Other factor was a cataclysmic event catching all unaware. All it takes is DNA, which has been recovered from extinct species. Cheetahs make good pets. |

I think the best bet is the mammoth. We need some North American pachyderms! Maybe the giant sloth? Benefit, they are great draft animals. Elephants are made of meat. They make lots of fertilizer. Drawbacks, it would suck hitting one with a car. I’m not sure we want to bring back the American cheetah and saber toothed tiger. Smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast.

To say she's on my shit list is an understatement.... ....now to get back to the lovin'.... Sorry lol Tis okay! Even a hint of her just sends me to raging so easily....heh, I was actually attacked by her energy twice last week (believe it or not, I was). You'd think getting "bopped on the head" would make me to back off....but NEVAH! I mean, I didn't get hurt, the last one drained me a little, but I took care of it.... but she's got freenemies in very, very dark places. I just have to unleash my fury about the cunt when it happens, and then I'm perfectly fine! It's better for me that way. Holding that crap in wouldn't be good for me....lol, at all. It's so ugly. Heh, that's what was happening last week, there was an attempt to instill her dark energy into me....what a "nasty thing" she is I can tell you after last week. We all think we know how evil she is, but until you've been "skin to skin" with her energy, you have no idea just how deadly corrupt she is....I mean, I've tried to find the perfect descriptive word nasty enough since the first attack to describe her energy, but there's not one in existence I don't think. I'm good at making up words, lol, but I can't even make one up for her....heh, at least not yet. But you see, I'm able to post the following with a smile on my face and happiness flitting all around me and within me-- I hope your day is perfectly beautiful, lovey....

Deplorable Zenobia
(OP) User ID: 13425998 United States 08/18/2022 11:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oh wow, thx to whomever pinned thread last night! I ended up cooking most of last night for some folks. And lousy spotty service, or maybe it was just all the solar flare punches we are taking on. After skimming comments, all I got to say is 'All y'all are definitely my tribe!' We get all types here, from real super serious to the hilarious jokesters. And thought struggles against the results, trying to avoid those unpleasant results while keeping on with that way of thinking. That is what I call 'sustained incoherence.' ...David Bohm “How, O Zenobia, hast thou dared to insult Roman emperors?” ...Aurelian, 44th Emperor of the Roman Empire |
