h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*surprised and irritated*
Anybody tries to hug me will get resisted. I will cover you with little black hairs.
*scurries away*

I last saw my sheep gambolling with little black hares...

Peregrin has never knowlingly hugged a rat. Vote for Peregrin, Styx. Before it's too late.

Eaten one, maybe, but never hugged one.

Pierrot: Aaaaawwwwk, he loves a meal.

Hey! I've already stated clearly that I do *NOT* eat rodents of any kind. I would give a forum link as proof but I can't be bothered to root it out.

I won't hug you if you don't want me to. It's optional, as are all my other offers. Is there anything in particular that you'd appreciate as a blatant bribe?

Some cheese?

*Peregrin waves some nice smelly cheese in front of Styx's nose*

He likes Pork Pies (we MUST be able to make something of that ) and cocktail cherries.

I don't be huggin no rats, man. Specially not Styx, even as cuddly and warm as he is.

My apologies, Peregrin. I hadn't remembered that there was something that you DIDN'T eat. Even if you did eat rats, I think that you would be biting off more than you could chew with Styx. He is such a BIIIIIIIG rat. You'd also have a riot on your hands - he has become very popular, it seems.

Is there a Styx fan club?

If so, I'll join.

*red eyes glow amused*
I won't join.

*blue eyes glow even more amused*

I thought you were your own fan club. "Styx loves only Styx"?

*bares teeth in rat grin, pushes ant lady with whiskers*

Other people can love Styx if they want. Cult of Styx, huh! I have my owner buddy, what's his name tofday? Always smell the same anyhow.

*scampers off*

I think I am falling in love with Styx.

*sigh*

hmmmm...

Today's topic, birls and goys, is 'can an insect love a mammel?

Or, can any phylum (other than homoS) love another?

Although, I'm not interested in hugging Styx, I do think he's probably the best rat I know.
