'Ere, Miraclefish,

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 16:09, 1 reply, 16 years ago)

Sorry, a what?
Is it foreign? Or from Narnia?
(Miraclefish How appropriate, you fight like a cow, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 16:10, Reply)

It's a lizard

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 16:11, Reply)

New Zealand I think.
Desperately cute reptiley thing. But endangered, so there goes my chances of having one for a pet.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 16:11, Reply)

I just wikipedia'd it,
they're nearly a meter long you nut job.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 16:14, Reply)

They are SO cute
They look all cute but they're trying to look all mean and noble.
Like Pocket Dragons.

That's nothing.
Iguanas regularly reach 6ft and make pretty good pets if you have the room. Some of them are right bastards, mind. Tegus are wonderful big lizards. Very friendly, on a level with cats for intelligence.

Ahh yeah, sorry, them.
There are a lot of fairly similar lizards. They seem to have a similar form to slimmer Rankin's Dragons. And resemble the truly awesome Frilled Dragon...

I don't want one with a ruff
How's Izzy?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 16:16, Reply)

Izzy is well.
I now also have Spike. Who's about three times the size and one eight the intelligence. His greatest joy in life is sitting on a windowsill looking at absolutely nothing. Also a baby python currently called New Snake.

Apparently lizard spit (specifically from the gila monster) might lead to a new diabetes treatment.

That sounds like when Wiggy tells me that jizz is good for the skin.

I've lost count of the amount of things I've said it's good for :-)

Yeah, I'm trying to get people with diabetes to snog lizards.
It's cruel, but it keeps me off the streets.

Isn't that the thing that killed Dennis Nedry?

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 16:32, Reply)

he deserved it
the fat fuck

but no, that was a dilophosaurus
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 16:33, Reply)

man that was geeky.
I'm so turned on.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 16:37, Reply)

that bodes well

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 16:41, Reply)

Actually...
The Dilophosaurus in the film is based on this lizard. The real dinosaur - in so far as anyone can tell with fictional atheist lizard-birds - didn't have a neck frill. They based that dinosaur around the frilled dragon because it looks cool. How'd ya like them apples?

ooh move over Vipros.
How you doin'?
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 17:03, Reply)

*sobs*

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 17:06, Reply)

Also, they don't spit acid.
Fucking Crichton. Stop messing with dinosaurs and stick to monkeys!

I'm doin' good thanks baby. Fancy coming back to my parents' garage to listen to me talk about all the technical inaccuracies that have been made in films?

Wait a sec here, I'm quite confused....
Ain't you from liverpool? I'm sure you can get those spiders as pets in the UK.

What spiders?
You mean La Princesse?

Trantular, it's a type of spider innit?

No, it's this little dude
Tuatara

I want a gecko with sticky feet.
I would call him T Rex
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 16:37, Reply)

Aw, call him Marc!

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 16:44, Reply)

One of my friends has a cat called Gecko
And a gecko called Cat.

Genius.

hahaha
When I gave my sister two of my baby gerbils (one black, one white) I named them Hitler and The Jewbil because the white one is proper mean to the black one so it's obviously a white supremacist gerbil. Since she's bought a boat to live on she's had to give them to her fiance's parents. She told them they're called Bubble and Squeak.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 16:51, Reply)

that is excellent

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 16:56, Reply)

our black gerbil is called Token
because I let Wiggy name him.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 17:01, Reply)

Wiggy is awesome

My sister
has a cat called mouse
(Halfy By light alone, Thu 26 Aug 2010, 16:53, Reply)

I've been idly considering getting a lizard or gecko
I could get a bearded dragon, and call it Trogdor or Smorg.

I think I shouldn't while I have a Tigger
and I'll probably get bored and want something else next week.

I wanted a pygmy hedgehog a month ago. My mates have one, but she won't let her fella dye it blue.
