I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

I had a pollster come to my door too. Only it was for one of our City Council members. So I turned the tables in him, and asked him how his candidate felt about the mansionization of our city. City councilor actually called me back, if you can believe it!

Did you ever own ferrets, Signy? They're so much fun. My stepson had them. But if they poop freely, it can be a little messy.

My niece owned a ferret. Cute little thing. Friendly, playful, and inquisitive. But they have a kind of musty smell....

Is it just the males that smell?? 'Cause I think my niece's ferret was male.

The other thing this little fella did... don't know if that's typical or not... would grab dog food from the dog's dish, and anything shiny or interesting and stuff it in a hole under the couch.

My ferts have stolen/hidden for safe-keeping, my keys, my cellphone, 32 plastic bottles, 3 flowers, 2 stuffed animals, and various brick-a-brack...

God knows what they were planning on doing with it.

I do know that they are part of F.E.R.T. (Ferrets for Earth Rule Today)

Hmmm... I had a ferret once, for less than 24 hours. I went out for dinner with my girl, and came home, whereupon my girl starts screaming, "Holy SHIT! What the hell is THAT?!" I look, and right in the middle of the living room floor is a ferret, just checking stuff out, sniffing his way around the house. No freaking clue how he got in the house, but the next morning we canvassed the neighborhood and found the owners; turned out that ferret had gotten out TWO YEARS BEFORE! So either he'd been living with someone else for two years, or we'd unwittingly allowed a wild weasel to sleep in our bed that night!

At any rate, he was a sweet little guy, but he definitely still had his musk glands.

And oddly enough, none of my dogs or cats had tried to kill him before we got home...

So, happy ending all around. I found out how cool ferrets are, and we found the home of a long-lost pet.

I'm pro-ferret.

I have it on good authority (PirateNews) that Barrack Obama refused to buy his daughters a ferret.

This is just another in a long line of questions we can raise about his judgement. Associating with retired terrorists, radical preachers, slum lords, not to mention Joe Biden...now Ferret-gate.

He's just not ready to lead.

John McCain, on the other hand, is well known for his love of ferrets. He and Cindy have adopted ferrets from all over the world and the story of his training the two ferrets to carry messages between prisoners in the 'Hanoi Hilton'is well known.

TOO smart.

Ferrets, ok.

Cats, ok.

Ferrets + Cats = DISASTER.

They will convince each other to do shit that neither one would have thought of on their own, generally the Ferret serving as the brains while the cat plays the Muscle.

As for Pollsters, if you don't have time, just shut the door on em, most of em are just another schmuck tryin to make a buck, like telemarketers - I've issues with the bosses, but not the foot soldiers, you know ?

Of course, my very FAVORITE game is to initially play along with them, and then during the conversation get loopier and loopier until you're going full out PirateNews on them, that's soooooo much fun.

I had one memorable guy on the phone who actually played along with it, even making his own "loopy" suggestions on the responses to type into the boxes on his work machine, that was a scream.

I can do a really, really, REALLY convincing level of crazee, when I want to...

Dude, seriously, my ferrets will wait in ambush for my cat....then when he walks by, they jump on his back, dig in their claws and ride him all over the house like a horse.

Fair enough. Folks have every right to keep their vote secret. Folks have every right to tell everyone how they voted. Folks have every right to ask other folks how they voted and why. Folks have every right to not answer the question.

I would suggest that while her vote is her business and nobody else's...who she voted for and why is the business of a lot of folks, not the least of which is every other voter in your state with whom her vote will be combined to determine a winner of your electoral votes.

Edited to add: Ferrets are cool.

Don't squat with your spurs on.

Am I the only one who finds this thread confusing?

Vultures, ferrets, descenting tips. Some guy has a wife from Texas and in the next sentence she's from the Domincian. Maybe he has two wives one from Texas and an other from the Dominican. Every one seems to be in favor of Ferrets but not mixing ferrets with cats. In the middle of it Hero makes a completely hilarious post... and then at the end I find out it's just a Jayne Cobb campaign spot.

I think the confusion might be entirely intentional. Seems the thread was hijacked and headed in a completely unrelated and hilarious direction, and more people just started jumping on. Hey, at least this time it wasn't kitties! (Oh, crap - I just let the cat out of the bag, didn't I?)

Ok, so Osama has ferrets harrassing your neighborhood about who you should vote for, and you want to cage them - is that right so far?

And your wife is from Dominicain Republic and somehow isn't willing to forfeit her voting choice in favor of whomever the "dark-skinned" "leaders" say she should?

Yes, this thread did get hijacked...

But to clear up some points.

My wife is a Texan. She was born and raised there.

She is ALSO a 1st-generation American, as her mother is from the Dominican Republic.

Hope that makes sense.

And yes, ferrets are still VERY cool.

Btw- The whole point I was TRYING to make, is that Pollsters suck. They are creepy/invasive, and my wife handled them quite smartly.

We would also be better off as a people if everyone just minded their own damn business.

Funny - I feel the exact same way about christians. Seems they're always knocking at my door wanting to talk to me about their delusions.

As far as people minding their own damn business, I agree. Don't want an abortion? Great - don't have some! Don't want same-sex marriage? Cool - don't marry someone your same sex. But mind your own damn business when it comes to others and what they do in private, whether it be with their mate or their doctor.

Sounds fair, right? We can all agree on this policy? Cool, then.

Buddy of mine got a pair of them Witnesses or whatever one time but good, he was coming out of the shower, and his wife ID's em through the peephole, so he's like "lemme answer it".

And so, he answers the door, buck naked, dripping wet, with a meat cleaver in his hand, and invites them in for tea, as if it's the most normal thing in the world.

They politely declined, and chose to go elsewhere, all quick like.

They don't come here no more - I sent the last pair bolting out of the yard in shrieking terror, so I guess they made a note, not to mention to those sensitive to such things, my wards cause a right powerful feelin of impending doom to unwanted guests, of which there ain't many.

As for folk askin questions - no harm in askin, they can ASK, doesn't mean imma tell em anything, or that anything I choose to tell em is necessarily true, mind you...

Most of em, they're just doin a job and tryin to make a buck, so I don't hassle em too much till they give me a reason to.
