| Aminiminals Okaey then. I'm getting unimaginative in my old age. Who's got pets?
What is/are they, and what makes it the best pet in the world?
I'm just thinking of fluffy bunnies, and puppies. Anyone got any more unusual pets?
(How Off-topic can you get?!)

| I've got 2 rats... Cleo and Fudge.
They are friendly, trainable, and don't bark at postmen.

| Two dogs, one cat. One dog is a mutt, the other is a Great Pyrenees. Both are rescued dogs. The cat is a "dumpster kitten" we rescued.
Years ago, had ferrets while I lived in an apartment.

| My wife's got me...does that count?
In reality (like I wanna go THERE), we volunteer for a cat/kitten rescue, so I've always got 20+ felines running around my house, unless they're caged for a reason (like they're too scared to run the floor or they've got a cold). Right now I'm boarding 4 adults for a friend while she moves, we trapped two 5 weeks old ferals (who are turning nicely), and we just got in a queen with a litter of 9!  You should SEE the lint trap on my dryer! And it takes be about 30 minutes to do all the litter pans...which I'll be doing right after I post this
You can guess where I am in the food chain...most of the cats look at me in the morning and say "Feed me, you lower life form!"

| Two dogs, one rescued, one husky, and a horse, although we don't see much of it, it lives 15 away from us.
I had a budgie, but the minute I got my husky, she flew away (or so my parents say - i'm not sure if i believe them). smart bird.

| Gosh, in the past, I've had too many to mention. Now I have:
Angel, the weimaraner (a dog). Dumb as a rock.
Jazz (aka Princess Jasmine), the psycho cat from hell.
Storm, the mini rex (bunny) from the same place that her best friend Jazz is from.
Dorothy, the goldfish. Two bala sharks & four neons. I used to have Mickey Mouse platys. They're the coolest little fish.
Hubby & son, plus whoever comes along when we try for kiddo # 2.
I used to have Riff Raff & Magenta, my hermit crabs. Those were the coolest (& BIGGEST) unusual pets I've ever had.

Riff raff and Magenta?  some one like RHPS.
My cat Talon is the best animal I have ever owned. He the most lovable, affectionate, and trouble free pet I have ever known. He is the 3 year old son I never had.

| I had a cockatiel named King s.o.b. that could call my cat!! It was really funny! Right now i'm trying to talk my parents into a red-tail hawk or a great horned owl! I'm almost there (kind of). If I get one I am going to name it angel (if it's a girl) a boy I would name Romeo!(Seriously to)

| Yep, Riff Raff & Magenta. Awesome little critters (yes, I love RHPS...saw it in the theatre...long stories about that!)
At one time, I also had two hamsters: Westley & Buttercup.

| So I'm guessing at least half of the fencers on here have seen the princessbride? I love that show! Just a thought. (can't you tell I am very bored.)

I love the RHPS too... and I saw it in a theatre too... long ago during the early 80s. It was a real blast!
Westley and Buttercup eh? Hmm.. I couldnt miss -that- reference!
Iwant2be-
Yes I would say the odds are probably much higher than 50% about the Princess Bride. As for a new name, use something that fits you! Some people use real names, others alias or nicknames. My name is my favorite song by my favorite band Rush. The line in my signature is also from one of their songs. I would be surprised if anyone here would recognize it!
Oh, any luck in finding a place to practice fencing?
