Cue dramatic 50's B-movie music.

Mwhahaahahaa! I love it!

You leading that porcupine invasion Feathers ???

 

[Quoth The Raven]

My favourite comment: 'It is wrong for them to kill these animals - they are not elephants.'
Does that mean if they were elephants it'd be good to go?
Or did we just need the qualification that, in fact, porcupines and elephants are not the same animal?:areyoucra
I admit, I was a little shaky in that area...my first thought every time I see an elephant is,'What happened to it's spines?!'

Then she'd be 'QuillsinHead', wouldn't she?

 

[Crystal Red]

I'm guessing that's not the whole story, something must have happened to cause an inbalance, & thereby cause an increase in numbers of the porcupines. Or maybe they've just been planning this for a very long time. Imagine this...

Porcupine #1 - Let's invade
Porcupine #2 - Why?
Porcupine #1 - Because they're not expecting it
Porcupine #2 - What? Porcupines can't talk

 

[Crystal Red]

That sounds painful, maybe she's just trying to lull us into a false sense of security.

As long as they're growing out instead of being shoved in, she should be fine. Yes, I think our Feathers - or Quills, as we've just discovered - is a bit of a dark horse.

Or porcupine, as the case may be.

 

[Feathers in Hair]

Err... I wonder if this is actually a good time to mention that I enjoy wearing quills in my hair, to sometimes work with the feathers?

"Knowing very well if you have seen a porcupiune you know that they are covered with fleas -- I worry that there will be an outbreak of disease."

So clearly the solution is to fit them all with flea collars.

Well, there goes my dinner plans out the window. Looks like that stray dog down the street lives to fight another day.

 

[Pussyfoot Mouse]

Ohh, but they're so cute!

That could be your job...I mean who else would want to do it..

Villager #1: See that small ball of painfull spikes over there?
Villager #2: Yep.
Villager #1: Take this collare and go put it on it.
Villager #2: Yeah, sure thing boss...
*OWWWWWWWW*

For me the funnist thing was

They have started burrowing in local graveyards and as they dig holes to live in, they are also exhuming human remains, causing great distress. "The porcupines are against our culture - once someone dies we just want them to rest peacefully," one man said.

It's a spikey conspiracy!!!!

I noticed that statement too . And I wonder if that is a locol thing as I have seen quite a few porcupines and have never seen any with many fleas . Perhaps Canada is different in that regard , being colder and all , but squirrels ... now they are covered with fleas .

I have also eat porcipine , and would like to go on record as saying that they taste like a spruce tree , and are just about as tender ...

I've got it! That man (that one up there in the quote getting cross about the porcupines) has obviously committed a heinous crime.The porcupines - Grissom et al - have gotten wind of it and are trying to solve the crime and see the perpetrator put behind bars where he belongs,by exhuming the body and searching it for evidence.
But it's a big graveyard, and they are but small, undercover purcupines.

 

[Feathers in Hair]

Oh, no... I managed to miss that quote. "The porcupines are against our culture"...

That really shouldn't make me laugh, but it does. It reminds me of some of our more 'interesting' debates.

Actually , that one kinda makes sense to me ... if one believes in animal spirits , then they could be " agaisnt our culture ". But then , I'm an ogre ... Cool . Who would have thought ? Little porcupines are ogres .

Ok , I have a sick sense of humour . But that should go without saying by now .
