ligers actually exist - honest.

cross between a lion and a tiger

So, once you've saddled up not just one, but a whole pride, how do you propose to ride them?

... and a male (I think)..

Lots of pics of the handsome chaps here...

A pride goeth before a fall.

What's Goethe got to do with it?

RF

Don't you faust him upon us, thank you.

B

Faust Among Equals

RF

**buzz**

Disqualified for quoting Jeffrey Archer

B

Oh, the shame! The ignomy!
Could be worse though, could actually be Jeffrey Archer.

No. Jeffrey Archer is more decent and upstanding than ReddyFreddy.

B

Really??

Now I am confused..

They're not the same person, lil.

B

are you sure about that? Doesn't RF where a wig? </>

So RF is vaguely scruffy looking quadroped... like a liger? Who likes being 'saddled-up'?

*looks around*

I have heard tell about the "saddle 'em up" bit before.. but thought that was 2legs </>

Well, 2legs is a tricycle.

[sic]

Well that answers that question

I think people slipping on ice and falling over is funny. And I remember once watching a teevee show about freak weather that showed a clip of an old lady being blown over by a freak strong gust of wind* that had me in stitches.

* wind from the skies not from the buttocks, although that would of been equally if not more so amusing.

Ligers do exist, the offspring of male lions and female tigers, not to be confused with Tigons, from a male tiger and female lion. They look fabulous with subtle markings rather than the bold stripes that tigers have.

All this useless information from A&P when I was a nurse doing genetics.
