I dont think Ive ever met an ugly one .. but then I think lizards are cute and in these parts can come up to 1m or more in length. No joke 😉
Speaking of "cute" spiders. I saw a few photos in the network as in a season the field around the house is covered with a web a little less than completely. I couldn't sleep well next to it (

I quote Tom Riddle. I believe pretty creatures are cute. I do think ugly thoughts. But I think like a lizard thinks. I believe wizards are cute. I do not tell jokes. I quote Tom Riddle. I believe spiders are cute. I took photos of different seasons. I live in the field. The field surrounds the house. I am covered in cobwebs. I am a little less than complete. I can no longer sleep. I quote Tom Riddle.

I have cities, but no houses. I have mountains, but no trees. I have water, but no turtles. What am I?

Maybe an Atlas. Do you claim to hold the world on your shoulders?

Atlas held the sky on his shoulders. Specifically, he held the sky god Ouranos away from the earth goddess Gaia to prevent them from mating and producing more titans. So, the correct answer to the question "What would happen if Atlas shrugged?" is: thunder. Atlas is just a guy holding his father's junk in the air.

Meta... :biggrin:

And there was thunder, thunder
Roll the thunder roll, thunder
Was his engine, white lightning
His load and there was moonshine
Moonshine to quench the devil's
Thirst. The law swore to get him
But the devil got him first...

For the first time, I am forced to admit that the place I supposedly live does not exist - I recently listened to the Scott Brick audiobook of Seventh Decimate, and was eagerly ready to download The War Within, only to be told that the publishing rights are not available in Australia, or some nonsense :evil:

This is painful as I'm supposed to be re-reading the Great Gods War before the final instalment, and I lent my paperback copy to my brother. How could SD be available, but TWW not be available? Frustrating!

StevieG that does not prove the non-existence of Oz ~ it proves the limitation in that singular publisher only.

You DO exist ~ even if not on the mainland .. lol 😂

Wow!!!

That was unnecessary lol 😂

You Tasmanians are unnecessarily mean 😉😜😂

I must say I do not understand your argument Sky. You have a pot shot at me for the fact that I live in Tas. I have been living with this irrational abuse for my whole life, and when I defend myself, *I* am the mean one???

So, what, then, did you mean by “you DO exist - even if not on the mainland” ? Was that not a derogatory and ignorant comment? Or am I just being mean? 🤔

Goodness lol 😂 No, not at all ♥️

I was not making a pot shot at you ~ I was arguing for your existence lol 😂 despite your not being a mainlander.

Surely acknowledging your islander status is not offensive or derogatory.

And I’m less Australian than you ~ at least you were born here.

No derogation intended at all ~ just a simple geographic observation and the intent to reinforce your existence and Australia’s obvious supernal existence. 😎

Maybe because of our history we are all too quick to react defensively.

Tres Tank 😂

But what better evidence of existence is there than warring socio-political tensions between Tasmania (emphasis on the *mania*) and mainland Australia ~ despite sharing the same continental shelf? lol 😂
