What is a mod?

[Rocketpunk]

I love my guinea pigs, Sasha Bordeaux and Mish Moneypenny, but by gad I want me a gotderned capybara. If I ever make bank, you can fo sho know the two things I'm getting: a transparent column tank with exotic jellyfish (I'm rich, b!tch!) and, yes, the loveable capybara.

capybaras are awesome. They remind me of giant hamsters. I have pet rats. they are great pets. Very friendy, they love people and attention. They ride around on my shoulder. In many ways they are like dogs in little rodent form.

Rats are extremely intelligent and make wonderful pets. They got a bad rap, though, you know, with the bubonic plague and everything. ;-) But no, seriously, if I could, I'd have a dozen piggies and some rats. Maybe a bunny. But no hamsters. I'm prejudiced. Can't stand hearing that wheel constantly at 4 A.M.

Can't take credit for this name, but from a marketing standpoint and from the idea that we REALLY need to get the term "cigarette" out of our lexicon - Electronic Nicotine device or END.

I thought is was cool for the "END smoking" connotation. We are END'ers.

P.E.N.I.S is way funnier though.

OCELOTS DO NOT MAKE GOOD PETS!!!

I have lots of pictures of them. They are beautiful, but I want to dispel any idea they can be house pets. Often people refuse to listen that exotic animals cannot be completely tamed, so fine, keep this is mind: ocelots probably have the strongest smelling urine of any of the wildcats and have no idea what a litter box is for.

Tony disagrees..

Push it to the limit!

A mod was a member of a British youth subculture in the early to mid sixties. The mods conflicted with another British youth subculture called the rockers. Open clashes between mods and rockers, and media coverage generated a moral panic.

Did they do musical numbers like in west side story?

 

[mare ze dotes]

The Chipmunks did.

I used to work at a pet shop. Hamsters are evil, but just try and talk people out of getting the cute mini ones for their kids. Rats make wonderful pets, but sadly many people can't get passed the bald tail. Guinea pigs are good for little kids who want to pet them more than carry them around.

That is not an ocelot.

ETA: Never mind, I just got the Tony reference.

Those little cute "outa my mind adorable!" dwarf hamsters. They get sold so often , they make very bad first pets for a young person. They dont tame down and the kid dont care any more. Hamsters are OK. But they are one step above a gold fish when it comes to personality.

The GPiggies are good. They are so happy, with there little cute squeeks and whistles. But they need alot of cage maintanence if you/they dont have the time It builds up fast.

And I am all about ther rats. I know that many people cant get by the tail. I love their tails. It is a blast to watch them use it when ballanceing is needed.
