Egbok | Wednesday, May 08, 2002 - 10:15 pm     Disco, in case you are asking a serious question, I'll answer. No, Fruitbat does not live in Utah, but she may catch a Southwest flight out to Utah to go hunting a certain Sea Turtle tatoo that we're all betting is on Neleh. Gosh, tatoos and betting and Utah all in one sentence!! (I'll be in SF for the next few days and computerless. I'll check in on this thread Saturday night! Don't let up on Fruitbat!!) |
Fruitbat | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 02:55 am     Car?..........I do not. Now what if Neleh does *not* have that tatoo? What is everyone going to do for me? That is the question, you meatballs. |
Car54 | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 04:25 am     I was just offering you an out, girlfriend. See how a bet works is: If you post a bet on the internet, you put yourself our there. I didn't see anybody else here saying "If Fruitbat is right, she gets......", so you get to take a deep breath and say "jeez I was lucky on that one!" and for this particular Survivor, I believe the epithet is "knuckleheads" not "meatballs" if you want to be scatalogically correct. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 05:05 am     An out? If Neleh has the tatoo you suggest I host a party in P town AND fly everyone to London? Let's compromise.....meatheads.  |
Car54 | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 05:42 am     Yep, if you guess Vee's wedding guests, you are off the hook! If Neleh has a tattoo and you get the guests wrong, we are on a summer long vacation! Ya know, there is one person who has been suspiciously silent in the Tattoo discussion. Could all of this be......The Revenge of LANCE? for all those posts about hats??????? |
Fruitbat | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 05:54 am     That's it! Lance has that tatoo. Vee's wedding guests: hers and Leanders close friends and family. There.  |
Car54 | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 07:05 am     Nope, your question, should you accept the double or nothing IS: It is rumored that THREE S4 Survivors attended Vee's wedding this past week. Who are the three Survivor guests? Do you accept this double or nothing, Miss Bat? The repercussions could be big! Actually, what are you sweating this for? You are charging this party to Lance's credit card, right? So no biggie! |
Rabbit | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 08:28 am     Car's double or nothing is only for Car's attendance at the shindig. You have no out with me. And Sunshinemiss, should she lose and not pay up, you don’t have to participate in the shearing and needle coifing, but you might want to stand back cause Rabbit hasn’t watched 14 hours of tapes of "The Old Yankee Tattoo Shop" just to see Norm play with his needle. <I hear at 5 star places they leave chocolate carrots on your pillow every morning and your pillow is fluffed by bunnys in french maid outfits .. hhhuuhhuhhhuhhh ..> |
Willi | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 08:38 am     You don't have to fly me out HRH...That'll save you a few nickels. I will drive. I'll even pick up some TVCH peeps at the airport on my way to P-Town.

Car54 | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 08:40 am     omg, Bat.... I tried! You better put out some bunny traps! This is getting scary! Comeon Rabbit, play nice! Neleh is probably not gonna get booted this week, and if we are too mean, we will have Bat jumping out of her skin by the time we find out about the Battoo! |
Rabbit | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 08:59 am     Car, a party attended by Rabbit and his crew will be the highlight of the social season at P-Town. There will be dancing and singing and games of pin the tail on the elmer. Property damage will be relatively light. A gang of happy contented drunk giant rabbits is lots of fun. I am sure that Bat will have so much fun that she wont mind the expense and will be glad Neleh got that tattoo. <<just dont try a double cross winged-rodent, pissed drunk rabbits like to have fun too>> Is that better Car? |
Grooch | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 09:08 am     Don't bats eat rabbits? |
Willi | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 09:25 am     I think Fruitbats are vegetarians although our Fruitbat might be the exception. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 09:34 am     Fruit bats (Family Pteropodidae) are flying mammals that live in dense forests in Africa, Europe, Australia, and Asia. There are about 166 species of fruit bats. Fruit bats are sometimes known as flying foxes. These bats live in huge colonies, known as "camps." These nocturnal (most active at night) animals rest during the day while hanging upside down from their feet. Pollination and Seed Dispersal: As fruit bats fly from plant to plant getting food, they also pollinate the plants they visit. In addition, they disperse the plants' seeds as they eat. Many plants, including some avocados, dates, mangos, and peaches, are dependent on these bats for either pollination or seed dispersal. Anatomy: Fruit bats are relatively large bats. Their wings are long fingers covered by thin skin, and the body is furry. Males and females look alike. Like all bats, they have weak legs and don't walk very well. Livingstone's Fruit Bat (Pteropus livingstonii, from Africa) is one of the largest fruit bats; it has a wingspan of up to 6 ft (1.8 m). The long-tongued fruit bat (Macroglossus minimus) is one of the smallest fruit bats; it has a wingspan of 5-6 inches (13-15 cm). Senses and Diet: Fruit bats mostly eat fruit juice and flower nectar. They chew the fruit, then spit out the seeds, peel, and pulp. Fruit bats, like other Megachiropteran bats, use the sense of smell to find their food, fruit and/or nectar. Although they have large eyes and can see well, fruit bats do not use sight as their primary sense. |
Grooch | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 09:41 am     Sorry, Bat. I was trying to give you an out. But it appears that nobody is going to let you off the hook. |
Willi | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 10:19 am     Well G, Like Moon pointed out, Bat has been sniffing quite a bit of fumes lately...I think a good argument can be made for her "state of mind."

Wink | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 10:36 am     Maybe if Vern could be recruited to attend the party Fruit would be more excited about the idea. |
Car54 | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 10:43 am     I bet Vern would come! Maybe we can try for Norm too! He is in Massachusetts! He could drive! |
Tess | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 11:06 am     >>These bats live in huge colonies, known as "camps.<< So, our MsBat should be perfectly comfortable having all of us show up for the big "Neleh Tattoo" party. >>These nocturnal (most active at night) animals rest during the day while hanging upside down from their feet.<< And for those who are conscious during the day, there will be entertainment. For Norm and Vern I'll even pay my own way! Just don't tell MsBat that. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 11:14 am     The 3 that attend her wedding are: Sean, Rob and Kathy. OK, do I have any others that would like to give a shot at double or nothing? I am not ruling out eating rabbits, I hear they taste like chicken. I like chicken. I would rather Frank come so I could take a swing at him.  |
Willi | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 11:21 am     Maybe he tastes like chicken too.

Sunshinemiss | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 11:23 am     I have already bookmarked the Mapquest pages from my location to P-town. No outs. Rabbit, tattoing is up to you, if you insist. I will handle sanitizing the needles and administering painkillers of various and sundry strengths for our poor MsBat, if that would help. Just make sure you do it BEFORE you get drunk and happy. Not that sober and angry sounds better. Yikes. I'll quit while I'm ahead. |
Grooch | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 11:28 am     Fruitbat, I'll bring the hot garlic wing sauce from Uncle Al's. Little rabbit legs dipped and battered, then deep fried and then pour Uncle's Al's sauce over them. Yep, I bet it would taste like chicken.  |
Rabbit | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 11:45 am     Sanitizing?? Pain Killers?? Huh, Norm said nothing about that. Anyway, I am sure it will not be necessary because Bat will be true to her word!! |
Fruitbat | Thursday, May 09, 2002 - 12:09 pm     bats lie |
