I was not given any one to flame. It is just as well, Because I have suspicions that there are many here that are in need of flaming. I have seen people from this list who have been trying to pass albino, and BEW ferrets off as meerkatts. Now I know many people out there are closet meerkatt fanciers. But REALLY !! holding poor innocent ferrets down to paint them? Now that is cruel !! And then, trying to make them eat scorpions, and those huge millipedes!! Every one knows ferrets eat kibble, and a occasional raisin. No self respecting ferret should be asked to eat a BUG!! ( my Grabbie Hands nearly fainted in shock.And my Ruby was dook-less for 2 days.) I have no objection to seeing a ferret in a speedo, But darn it. asking them to wear a false tail piece,and to balance on it is just cruel! I even had one person, Who will remain name less , Try to convince me she has Shakespeare!! Well, I may be dumb, but I Know Shakespeare did NOT have pink eyes..And he was a lot better 'endowed' . I think some thing will have to be done about all these meerkatt want to bee's. May-be take their paint away, Or let them watch the new meerkatt manor. Just 2 more days, and I will be going to my FIRST ever ferret show!!! I am STOKED! We leave first thing in the morning, and the show is saturdays in Idaho. I hope to meet some FML-rs. Though I don't know how I would tell who is who. I am a red hater, may-be I could wear a red hat and black pants? Not many people wear hats, So so if any one Is at the NW ferret show, and you see a heavy set old gal, with a black print top and black pants, and a red hat. say hi !! I also have to use oxygen, so that should be a sign. Happy dooks to you all. [Posted in FML issue 5380]
