I got the stupid vulture.:shifty: Couldn't be bothered to post the whole screenie.

Physically and socially, the vulture is a clumsy creature and its unusual features border on homeliness. Its somewhat bloated body is unusual for a creature of the air, since birds can't afford excess ballast when they're flying around. So vultures are forced to soar at the mercy of the currents and wait for opportunities to present themselves, and unlike the smaller birds are unable to control their own destinies.
Don't make the mistake of underestimating the vulture though, for it's awkward outward appearance masks an intensely sharp mind capable of long range vision. With infinite patience, the vulture uses its keen senses to detect when the moment is ripe before swooping in and claiming its prize. Most people only encounter the vulture's devious mind when it's feeding at the carcass of their dreams. Nope, the vulture is no angel and those wings on its back have no connection to the divine. For a vulture would look ridiculous wearing a halo while taping her friend's intimate conversations for the special prosecutor.
Like most birds of prey, vultures love to travel. They particularly favor long trips and are always on the lookout for business opportunities. Even when vacationing with family, a vulture would interrupt the trip if they spied a chance to make money.
Vultures hate to work, preferring to shadow other aggressive characters until opportunities arise. They circle these situations with infinite patience and have an uncanny ability to determine when the moment is ripe. Only when assured of a reward will they swoop in and take control. They can be extremely possessive with their prize and will defend it against all intruders. However, cultures won't risk injury, and they take flight when the situation becomes volatile.
When others observe a vulture circling they can be confident that an opportunity is at hand. Always alert to the opportunity to buy or sell, they make excellent stockbrokers and trade their services for a percentage of the profits. The species also earns a living by buying up ailing businesses and selling off their assets to make a quick buck.
With their excellent vision, vultures are also able to provide far-sighted leadership as business advisers, lawyers or company directors.

A rather cynical outlook, if you ask me.

edit- I wanted to be a horse :(

Now you see it, now you don't. Aggressive yet gentle, outgoing but shy, stable yet flighty - everyone sees the penguin in a different way. It's that black and white thing: the penguin only reveals the side that it wants to you to see. So whether you like this darling-devil or not, you have to concede that it's a fascinating and enigmatic individual.
Penguins are birds condemned to live out their days on the ground. Unable to fly, their excess energy has no outlet save their creative talents and emotional outbursts. Penguins are poetic, artistic, and intellectually gifted, and as writers penguins have no equal.
But, if unable to channel their impulses in a positive way, the resulting turmoil proves damaging to their relationships and careers.
Penguins are deceptively intelligent and are particularly animated when intellectually challenged. They excel at word games and puzzles but are modest about their abilities and are generally underestimated by others.
With their misunderstood personality, penguins find writing an ideal tool for expressing their true feelings. They have a natural aptitude for languages and penguin personalities dominate the world of publishing as writers, editors, and journalists.
With a natural aptitude for languages, penguin personalities dominate the world of publishing as writers, editors and journalists. A strong sense of drama draws them to the theater and cinema, although unlike typical bird personalities they avoid the spotlight unless they're able to hide behind the characters they play. Once on stage however, they prove to be excellent performers with their multifaceted personalities conveying the full gamut of emotions.
However, a lack of confidence affects their work. Penguins tend to give up on tasks they were otherwise capable of and are often disappointed with their performance. Still, work never dominates their life and they always put their family first.

No. Beth Shakespear writes great trashy novels. She also wrote a kid's book about a baby shrew who dreamed she was a dormouse. You'd like it.

[frau kaleun]

:rotfl2::yeah:

Lol, and that's about as far as I can get riffing off my memory of the original... I do okay until I get to something about shuffling off this mortal coil and then my brain takes a wild detour and I end up in the middle of Monty Python's Dead Parrot sketch.

OTOH I still know a hawk from a handsaw, so I got that goin' for me. :O:

Never read Shakespear?

Ahh yes Ive heard about 'Taming of the Shrew' No never read it though.

Anyways im cat food :)

[Sailor Steve]

The truth is I'm so Shakespeare-challenged that it wasn't until a couple of decades ago when I saw the BBC version of MacBeth with Jeremy Brett that I know where the legendary quote on alcohol "increaseth the desire while it decreaseth the performance" came from. :dead:

Find a copy of the movie version with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. It's shortened but has all the essentials. You'll laugh yourself silly, and find out where Monty Python got a lot of their ideas.

I showed it to a friend a couple of years ago. When it came to the 'wasp' sequence he said "Shakespeare actually wrote that?"

"Yep," says I, "five hundred years ago."

I don't know if it's still true but when I was in school we were taught that there were two works of literature that, between them, were the source of more common English "turns of phrase" than anything else ever written in the language. One was the King James Bible, and the other was "Hamlet."

Today of course that place of honor would probably go to icanhascheezburger.com, lol.

HOLY MACAROLEYS!

I didn't know it was even available. The absolute best filmed version of Taming Of The Shrew was done in 1976 by the San Francisco Repetory Theater. It starred Marc Singer, much maligned for movies like The Beastmaster, but brilliant on stage in this production.

And it's available on DVD! I just ordered my copy! :rock:

There was also a version done with John Cleese as Petruchio, which is the only version I've seen. (I've seen bits of the Burton/Taylor film but not all the way through.) Probably was a BBC production that was shown here on PBS. They ran a whole series of Shakespeare plays that were originally produced for the BBC.

Don't know if it was the same series - probably not - but I still remember seeing Derek Jacoby as Hamlet and Ian Holm as Lear on PBS.

One of the US cable channels (USA? A&E? can't remember) also did a version of "King Lear" starring Patrick Stewart... but they set it in Texas in the 1840s.

Of course IMO the ultimate adaptation of Lear is Kurosawa's "Ran."

[Geno_Mariner]

I'm a wildcat :hmmm: Hmmm, half right. :O:

Here's what it said:
Wildcat personalities do not differ substantially from their domestic cousins and exhibit the aloof behavior that is common to all felines. With their well-deserved reputations as creatures of comfort, wildcats jealously guard their independence while indulging in the finer things in life. Attractive, solitary, creative and curious, these individuals are quite happy to observe the world from a distance.
The wildcat would never take a conventional route and prefers to explore life from off the beaten track, relying heavily on its instincts and powers of observation to guide it safely through the jungle. Its air of indifference and need for privacy keeps it on the outskirts of society, but its love for comfort always brings it back.
Exceptional personal hygiene is a hallmark of the wildcat personality, and from their hair to their fingernails they are immaculately groomed. Shopping for clothing or personal-care items spices up long, dreary days.
When someone wrongs a wildcat, they make it their business to even the score. Displaying superb patience, wildcats will even wait years for the right moment. When the occasion comes to strike, they gather all their force and attack. In the face of a ferocious display of hissing and blustering, their surprised victim has little chance of escape.
The wildcat differs from its lion relatives in its approach to its social structure. With an aversion to the complex family organization of the lion, the wildcat finds freedom and self-indulgence to be far more compelling. As a natural explorer it disdains staying in one place for long, preferring the freedom of solitary roaming in exotic locales. This wanderlust makes it ideal for a career as a travel agent, explorer, mountain climber, researcher or writer.
Although wildcats are uncomfortable performing in front of large groups, their grace and lithe bodies make them natural dancers or gymnasts.
