Do they even have a handegg team there? You can't be a real college without one.
Pretty sure they call it "palmilha dela" down there. |

We did have a handball team, but it was females with skimpy shorts only. = On a different note, I've been watching my brother work through my xbox library. Picked mostly brawler games, starting with Red Faction, then Force Unleashed, moving to DMC4, going through CoD4, all on easy. He was thinking he was pretty badass, so I gave him Ninja Gaiden 2. First boss, he spammed the lunar basic combo for great justice and cleared with ease. Second boss, same deal, eating a bit more damage. Third boss, the guy that's battling ryu's father: "FUCK THIS GAME"  |

We are in the final stages of adopting a dog. After my wifes miscarriage we decided it was time to adopt a new one (had to put our last one to sleep in December). Did exhaustive searches on breeds and whatnot. Original plan was to adopt from a local pet shelter, but we ran into a non-profit that tailors companions to ones individuals need. The process has taken longer then running out to the pound, but we have fallen in love with our (hopefully) new family member.
She comes over for a home visit on Thursday, and barring her FREAKING OUT she gets to stay with us over the weekend. If that works out for both parties we then act as foster parents for 30 days, then she officially is signed over to us (again, assuming all of us still get along).

No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.

Sorry about the miscarriage and previous dog, but well done adopting a hound. What sort of breed is she?
Good luck with the first few days if she howls at first, but since it's not your first mutt I imagine you're prepared!

Shar Pei, through Shar Pei Rescue of Virginia. We packed up the kids and met a bunch on Saturday. I highly recommend this organization to anyone who is serious about adoption. It takes more time, but I do believe thats to weed out those fairweather pet owners. In addition, if you ever have a life event and need to surrender the dog, the organization will take them back into their network. |

Man it's a good thing I'm a long way away because that poor featured shar pei with the mange is tugging on the heartstrings. I almost adopted these two last week (I have a big walled garden in the countryside, I own border collies and have previous experience with a blind dog) but ultimately it was felt that the initial four hundred mile journey was potentially too stressful. |

Oh my fucking God. That is a new addition; that is extremely sad. I am glad she is with this organization - they will nurse her to health. What the hell is wrong with people? |

Yeah, sorry about those.
What? And you're not apologizing for sending every song in a separate email? pft. I thought that was helpful. If you'd parsed the mailbox using Emacs MH-E it would have done all the work for you if everybody had been so kind.  |

Walked home at lunchtime and there was an elephant walking down the main street. Not what you expect to see in a sleepy German provincial town. That's filled my RDA of weirdness quota for the week.

I thought you were in Colorado Springs. Don't be silly. Elephants don't live in Colorado. I got back to Germany late Sunday evening. Here's the elephant. At this point she's right outside our front door.  |

When I lived in the Rockies, it wasn't unusual to see moose or elk in town. We even had mountain lions across the street from my office preying on cats and dogs.
No elephants though.

At least its an indian elephant and not an african one, which can charge at the drop of a dime, from accounts of folks from Kenya

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Luckily Kenya doesn't use dimes. American tourists should probably leave their change at home to be on the safe side however. |

Near where I grew up in the country was a petting zoo. I remember being out hiking one afternoon and hearing a deep roar that didn't quite sound like a black bear. I came out into a meadow and there was a lion.
I almost shit my pants, remembered he was probably from the petting zoo, slowly withdrew and biked over there to tell them where their lion was.
Not many lions in the woods of upstate NY.

Based on the size of the ears, I think that's actually an African elephant. |

I was thinking that, too, but I'm not sure since it still looks young and I don't know if elephants grow into their ears or the ears grow larger proportionally with age.
UH had a live cougar for many, many years. While they eventually got rid of her after the fifth one due to liability reasons, they never mauled anyone.

Oops, yer right, it is an African one. Small-ish ears for an African, which is what led me astray. Plz no pit plz.

I'm no expert (and I can't see the toenails well enough to count), but that could be a 'forest elephant' rather than a 'bush elephant'. The color and size fits. There's more than one 'type' of African elephant. Perhaps different species altogether. You'd think they'd know by now. I believe the ones that I'm most familiar with were all bush elephants though they were just considered plain old African elephants back then.

Eh, I'm pretty sure it's an "effervescing elephant". Do try to get your facts straight. |
