Housepets!

When I was younger, I didn't yet understand that the temperature everybody called minus 20 was really below minus 40. And when that first one's in Celsius, it's the sort of difference that can cause you to lose a few extremities! Also hadn’t learned yet that the best way to prevent frostbite was to ...

Vertigo Fox

Tourtiere with any kind of gravy
Or pumpkin pie with whipped cream if it's a dessert

Favourite bagel?

Vertigo Fox

Well when I went to the Prague philharmonic a few years ago, the conductor there was literally leaping all over the stage, you could really tell how much he loved the music that was being played. He wasn't playing any instrument, but I still think he was the standout performer of any classical perfo...

Vertigo Fox

Lots, but, "Startide Rising" by David Brin, probably beats out all the others. I love how in-depth it gets about the dolphin characters' culture and thinking, without ever seeming to slow the plot down.

Favourite James Bond movie?

Vertigo Fox

From a little bit of worldbuilding I'm doing... "...for the most part, windriding can be thought of as analogous to driving a car, if you were driving naked, and the car was intangible, and it would explode whenever you so much as thought about stopping." Seems a little disingenuous, yeah,...

Vertigo Fox

Aww, thought you were gonna say something like "John Cleese".

I like most trees but I guess I'd pick something evergreen like pine or spruce because the needles smell nice and I can enjoy that all year.

Favourite outdoor place to go?

Vertigo Fox

Caiman are cute.

Favourite Python?

Vertigo Fox

Oooh, an American pine marten or a yellow-throated marten.
I think the pine martens are prettier, but I knew a very friendly yellow-throated marten at a zoo near here for several years.

Favourite member of the raccoon family (apart from an actual raccoon)?

Vertigo Fox

Not much of a rodent person, but I think rats deserve more respect than they get, especially in fiction. They’re smart, and sociable, and a lot cleaner than they're given credit for. My least-favourite rodent is a lot easier. It's squirrels. Because they hate me. To be fair, I think they hate everyo...

Vertigo Fox

Oh yes. Used to be the family would take trips into different parts of the U.S. (up here in Canada, to be clear, the U.S. qualifies as a different country :lol: ) almost every summer. Stopped for a while, but then a few years ago we got to visit some parts of Europe! Would really like to go back and...

Vertigo Fox

Close, Lois, but you're a lynx not a snow leopard.

Vertigo Fox

True.... for a certain value of art.
If you don't enjoy extremely noisy, discordant styles of electronic and rock music, you might disagree.

TUBM's latitude is currently somewhere south of 49.8 north-- i.e. they are literally the user below me

Vertigo Fox

Mmmm, yeah, I get that a lot.

TUAM probably can't respond to this post with an answer consisting of a single adjective... unless they're up to the challenge...

Vertigo Fox

TUAM's username derives from acceleration due to gravity, but doesn't specify how many g's they are experiencing or why this is important. (suspicious, sez I...) The only thing that would make it important, is if the g-force they experience is different from the rest of us, and the only way that wou...

Vertigo Fox

So here's a strange one. Last night I dreamed I was a full-on wild cat -- I think I was a clouded leopard, 'cause there was another one there and it felt like we were of the same kind. And, you know, we were doing typical wild cat stuff, like, test-piloting a helicopter . A helicopter which seemed t...

Vertigo Fox

Hahaha faaaaalse. About as opposite as you can get, eh? Though you might know of the city where I'm located, particularly if you read all the "Series of Unfortunate Events" books growing up. TUBM also lives in a city that was repeatedly mentioned by an author who doesn't live there, in a s...

Vertigo Fox

Oooooooooh, do I smell character development happening? Ummm.... I'm sorry if this has been addressed before but... Tarot was out of the car... like she definitely was ... so... Ummmm, is it ever explained how she got back in? Or should we ignore the part where she got out? Because Im fine with that...

Vertigo Fox

No, but I used to!
I love scalies.

TUBM is afraid of both heights and wasps...

Vertigo Fox

In the beginning, the universe was created.
This has been widely criticized and is generally regarded as a bad move.

Vertigo Fox

True! But I was a late baby-- I hear my due date was in April.

TUBM has had two birthdays in a row that happened during full Covid lockdown...

Vertigo Fox

False, and that was a month ago for me.

TUBM puts far too much gravy on every part of the thanksgiving feast.

Vertigo Fox

I've been playing Biomutant for that sorta open-ended RPG itch and honestly I think I like it more than any other I've played.
Maybe be a there's a much bigger emphasis on combat and action.

Vertigo Fox

When I was younger it was yesterday

Vertigo Fox

Gravy.
It's always gravy.
I'm not picky about what kind.

Favourite thing to be picky about?

Vertigo Fox

This is the sorta thing I'd love to take a stab at, but alas the images are all down and I haven't got the first clue about what creatures/powers/etc are out there in that universe.

I know the premise of the franchise.... and that's about it.

Vertigo Fox

From this video biography of King John at around 11:04 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_j7NeYwaoQ "The inability to hold it was a personal humiliation for him and the country he led." Oh, before anybody says anything, that's still very very out of context. it wasn't actually about bed-wet...

Vertigo Fox

Maybe that's the reason they're a former mod... You are allowed to have free will, and even if there are people who don't like what you do with it that doesn't automatically make it your problem. An extreme example, if a flat-earther accosted you on street and then said their unpleasantness was your...

Vertigo Fox

Oh, for me it's brussel sprouts, definitely.
I've always been more into vegetables than fruits.

Favourite part of the chicken?

Vertigo Fox

I suppose I have a lot of ill-defined creatures in my music, but it's very unclear how many of them are different creatures, how many are just representations of myself, and how many might be the same set of characters :) Did an RP with a discord writing group a few years ago that had a bunch of peo...

Vertigo Fox

Res?
He's done it before, at least.

Hey, I actually remembered something!

See, this is the kind of apocolypse I can get behind ^^

Well, probably better that than in front, where all the teeth and claws are.

Vertigo Fox

Max reminds me of a couple of my own uncles, so I can't disagree there.

Vertigo Fox

No one can kill your grandfather if no one can be your grandfather.

That was someone else and you were never real.
Were you?

Vertigo Fox

Hmm... It's a tough choice, honestly. Sabrina might be a good choice 'cause she probably has decent survival skills from all her adventures, and she tends to keep a cool head in a crisis. But on the other paw, because it's an island, having one of the zoo otters with me might be even more helpful be...

Vertigo Fox

Honestly, I'm just glad the comic doesn't force me to think about it one way or the other...

Vertigo Fox

Can't believe I forgot this one

"Oh, you can't help that, we're all mad here. I'm mad, you're mad... ....you must be mad, or you wouldn't be here.”

Vertigo Fox

People are rushin' around all over the darn place.
And fallen' down the mile-deep road potholes if they ain't careful!

Now, just a quickie ... not too important ... just, how many bug zappers do you think I would need to fight a giant robot scorpion?

Vertigo Fox

TUAM is a whale.
I mean he lives inside a whale.
Or a whole pod.
Or I suppose I could have misread and he's just from Wales.

But doesn't that sound more boring?

I bet it's a killer whale. 'cause, you know, if there were ever a whale who wanted to put someone inside them...

Vertigo Fox

Ba-yack in mah daiy... Those first-person shooting games weren't just about crouching behind a chest-high sandbag and pulling a trigger until the enemy stopped coming at ya. You had ta dodge left, right, up, even down. But make sure first there wasn't lava in any of those directions! And then, when ...

Vertigo Fox

I! Hate! Yogurt! Even with strawberries!
-Dark Helmet (spaceballs)

....yeah, I couldn't think of a better one.
but I quote that one whenever anybody mentions yogurt to see if they get it! 'cause I'm a dork!
And it's not so much the line as the way Rick Moranis shouts it...
