[milkfish]

If someone's faking this, please ask them to do one with a squirrel on the back of a moose.

I believe it's a tale about a scorpion and a wolf. The scorpion asks a wolf to take him across a river on his back. The wolf is reluctant at first but the scorpion convinces the wolf that he won't sting him because they would both die. Sure enough, halfway across the scorpion does sting him. As they both sink the wolf asks the scorpion why he did that and scorpion relpys 'I couldn't help myself. it's my nature.'

Ok, I'll say it.
Wouldn't they be tasty wrapped together in a tortilla, with some mango salsa, sour cream, and shredded monterrey jack? That would be after you shave the little rodent, of course.

It doesn't seem like they're having much Lucknow, does it?

And are you sure the mouse isn't just getting some froggy sex on the sly?

LOL, which is why I didn't make that post last night. As soon as I read Wolf's post, the VGR ep popped in my head. I wanted to go all Chakotay and quote him...
