Me: I'mma do an internet!
Computer: Ooop! I froze for now reason!
Me: Well can I comment on all my wonderful friends' stuff?
Computer: Only about half of them, the crummy half.
Me: What about that guy who does cute squirrels?
Computer: Nope, but here's something from that guy who blocked you!
In sum, my computer keeps freezing and I don't know why. So if anyone here has noticed their reason for living has been awfully quiet recently that's it. Virus? Lack of hard drive space? Curse by a vampire bunny? Probably. When will it be fixed? Can't tell.
So butts. Butts to FA, Butts to DA. Butts to the internet and computers in general. Butts to everything!
But especially YOU Rabbitfangs! You know what you did! So here's a big bouncy bunny butt for ya, but not the anthro kind! I'm not feeding your perversions! One day, one day I shall have my revenge! REVENGE I say!

Looks like my feral counterpart all right. And yes, I did curse you. what are ya gonna do about it? *bronx cheer*
Two more things.
1. Interesting how my curse freezes your computer when I'm such a hottie, don't you think?
2. I don't need you or anyone else to feed my perversions. They are quite capable of bringing down and dispatching their own prey.

Make it a gay interracial couple so I can have more fun responding to the comments, will you please?
1. wouldn't surprise me. At least it would keep your CPU from overheating.
2. I'll take it easy on most of the globe and just send them to New Zealand when they're hungry. I hear there's lots of easy pickings down there.

That's cute ^^
I thought about doing a stuck Surly drawing before, like draw Surly stuck in a wall or something.
So your basically saying that your computer keeps freezing and you can't talk to some people because of it??
I miss seeing your comments, it just feels like something is missing lol.

I have seen thumbnails of your drawing, but it remains tantalizingly out of reach. (The page loaded once, but at the time FA wasn't loading images properly for some reason.)
I can see Surly knocked through a wall, possibly by Andie. ('If you make another acorn joke I'll snap you into next week!' 'Sorry, am I driving you nuts?' *SNAP!*)
But it's weird, everything slows to a crawl then freezes. It's isolating me from loading images all over. I just noticed my DA has 666 unseen deviations on it right now. Fangs again!

That is really weird, I don't now why computers have to be so weird like that sometimes. Mine just continues to be slow. Sometimes
its fast and I don't have any trouble with it, and then sometimes its so slow I have to walk away from it before I bash the screen with
My fist lol.
Well I have to say, I am very happy that your not mad at Me..... yes I was actually starting to think you were mad at Me for doing that
request. After I posted that request I noticed I wasn't hearing from you anymore, and I was thinking something about the request
made you mad. BUT, I now know what was going on, and Im happy that mystery is solved now.
Its nice to talk to you again ^^

Oh I'm furious, FURIOUS about that request, you drew his tongue all wrong, it ruins my headcanon! I demand a complete redraw!
Also, that reccent surly pic reminds me of Hammy from OTH with an armful of Cheez-its. (Also also, someone sent me a movie Jungle Shuffle, the animation team on it actually borrowed some of the models from Nut Job for their coatis, but had to make everything else from scratch. As such it's *real* obvious where they had to cut corners. The movie itself is eh. But the sole attention to squirreloids reminded me of you.)

Ugh, I can never get hands or posture right. Gimmie paws any day.
Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooSywFH6l8A The actual movie is title encrypted so it's nearly impossible to find its actual youtube entry.

Oh I know, drawing Hands is so hard for some reason, I would rather draw paws too, but Surly and them have human
like hands, so I just have to try I guess. Sandy from Ribbit really has Human like hands, She even has 5 fingers on Her
hands instead of 4 like Surly. She has 5 toes too.
Hmm that's interesting, that movie reminds Me a little bit of The Nut Job, Alpha and Omega and Ribbit, like all packed
together.
Question: How do you hear of all these underground movies?? I never even heard of Ribbit until you mentioned it ^^

See, now I stand in awe of your powers of rodent visualization. Me, I look at a bushy tail and I see some sort of tree dwelling mammal. You, you have the fingers and toes numbered at a glance. That's some serious attention to detail.
It is like that, but unfortunately its story doesn't flow as smoothly because of it. It's ok, but not a knockout.
I live in New Zealand, this is a small, isolated test market for many studios. A movie is trialled here and if it's successful it marketed more expensively. But if it fails word won't spread far and tarnish the film's reputation. So we get a LOT. I just finished looking over The Outback, a koala film in preparation for seeing the new Blinky Bill movie. I plan on seeing another five or six over the next few days.

I have to pay attention to details like that, I want to try to make sure I get the characters right because you would
be surprised how many people will point out mistakes in a drawing. Like point out that the cut is on the wrong ear, or
the character is suppose to have brown on His feet. So I just try to look at the character carefully and try not to miss
any detail. So that's why I knew about Sandy having 5 fingers on Her hands, and 5 toes on Her feet. I drew Her once
already, so I had to look for those things lol.
Also that is awesome that you get that opportunity, you should like start a thing on here, or on DA where you post a
journal, or something talking about a new underground movie to check out. I bet a lot of people would look forward
to that if you did it. If you ever come across an underground movie with Squirrels in them you have to let Me know
right away ^^

I will, I will. (So far the closet thing is a Squonk, or rabbit-fox hybrid from Bimble's Bucket.) Dunno about the journal idea though, I'm no Nostalgia Chick. I mean, where would I start? And what qualifications do I have? Who am to say what is good or bad or poorly done? It'd be maybe a paragraph per movie giving the general plot or something. I dunno.
But I could always keep a squirrel digit count just for you.
But here, have a movie with squirrels in it. Indeed they're all the main characters. I didn't like it much, but it's for a canine audience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgksUQQ23Rg

That was so damn cute, that's putting Me in the mood to draw more squirrel sketches now lol.
Did you ever notice how sometimes their tails go up their backs??
I see squirrels in My backyard sometimes, but it doesn't happen to often. Whats weird though is that the town
that's like 6 miles away from where I live has squirrels everywhere, I see them all the time there. Its where
My sister lives and I see squirrels quite a bit when Im at Her place. They are usually black squirrels too and they
are very cute ^^
Also you could just post the information about the underground movie, you don't have to say if its good or bad. Its
up to you.
Thanks for the link ^^

We have no squirrels here, only possums. They can wrap their tails around anything. The squirrel tail is a version of the rabbit tail, but longer. See here: http://www.justrabbits.com/images/4.....-zMEz1oQpT.jpg Notice the definite bend in the rabbit tail? Squirrels have a less severe bend and like rabbits and many mammals a single line of muscle down the back of the tail can contract pulling the tail up and back. In animals like dogs this just raises the tail, but in rabbits and squirrels it pulls it all the way up to touch the spine. (In rabbits as a warning, it displays the white underside. In squirrels, I don't know.)
Also, squirrel knees are known as stifles, their ankles are hocks.
The smaller something is the smaller the 'patches' it can form. Squirrels are such that their patches are about two miles in size. (Double the size quadruple the patch. Mice have patches of acres, but as small as inches.) Cities especially are interesting. Squirrels weren't originally a city animal. But there was a deliberate campaign to citify them: http://www.slate.com/blogs/wild_thi.....n_to_make.html This means that even today many cities are squirrel friendly or have altered their local bush to make it a squirrel haven. This may explain your situation, what are the trees around there like?

Aww Im sorry to hear there no squirrels there, maybe I can fly some over there and drop them off ^^
I'll try to get some pictures of some of the black squirrels sometime and upload them here.
Also that's really interesting about the tails, so I can see why they would go up their backs now. I also noticed that
squirrels kind of hop around like rabbits do, they are pretty similar to a rabbit.
Also Im not sure what kind of trees they are, I know they are pretty big ass trees though, and the town Im talking about
isn't really a city, its kind of like your average town, it has a Court House though. I think some of them might be oak trees, but theres
a lot of different kinds. Its pretty cool though, when Im at My Sisters place sometimes I can see squirrels on peoples porches, and
running all over peoples yards, and they are almost always black fur squirrels lol.

NO! Don't do that!
That's what we did with rabbits and possums, now they wreak havoc, destroying all they touch. If you bought squirrels here they would change... their very nature would turn and they would become monsters.
My country has a population smaller than big American cities. I live in the 3rd largest city here, it has no apartments. AN 'average town' is meaningless to me.
Usually squirrels like trees like, well oaks for the nuts, but also conifers. Some trees like birches emit toxic compounds into the ground to kill other tree's seeds. These poison acorns and other buried food supplies and cause them to rot. Squirrels and trees fight a constant war, against each other and themselves.

Well I don't think you have to worry about Me dropping any off anyways, I really cant see Me doing that. You know, getting on
a plane with 100 squirrels and release them in New Zealand, yeah I cant see Me doing that lol.
Also how do you know they would become monsters?? How do you know they wont become better loving creatures who want to
cuddle up with Humans and live with Humans like dogs do?? Squirrels could become the new "Mans best friend" in New Zealand.
Your lucky you live in an area that's not so crowded, I mean where I live its not that bad, but theres just so many people in America.
Im just glad I don't live in a big ass city like New York, I don't think I could stand it.
Also that's pretty interesting about the trees that emit toxic compounds to kill other tree's seeds, I didn't know that. It makes sense
though. You seem to know some interesting things Ziblink. You should teach a class ^^

Because that has never, EVER happened. Possums. Cats. Rats. Rabbits. Mice. Wallabies. They all turned. Given the freedom to do anything most things WILL do anything. If you don't believe in the darkness inherent in all squirrels, try and corner and catch one in your house. You will not escape unnibbled.
Some parts of America are amazingly empty. Wyoming has half a million people in it. Total. In fact 26 states have less people int hem than our island nation. The problem is you have huge expanses of nothing and a few tiny towns. We seem open because everyone lives everywhere, but our biggest city now covers a sixth of our total landmass and has a quarter of our population in it.
Nobody wants to attend a class about how vicious nature is. They want stories about how bears are big cuddly dogs and lions that give hugs and such. Heck, on that topic people don't want to know that lions steal more hyena food than vice versa. Or what about squirrels? Did you know nearly a quarter of all the meat consumed in most forests goes to squirrels? (About half goes to bugs.) Here is what happens to a pig head, note that as soon as the bugs have gone, the squirrels swarm in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwUHrK0nLiM Mother nature doesn't mess about.

Maybe its just the rodent way.
Seriously though it is amazing how We humans are so blinded by cuteness, I mean just look at any crazy
cat person, they just keep talking about how cute cats are. To a mouse, cats are freaking monsters. People think
its so adorable seeing a cat attack a mouse, or "play" with a mouse, bullshit, that mouse doesn't feel the same
way.
I admit I think squirrels are extremely cute, but like that video shows, they can be pretty vicious and feral creatures
sometimes.
Humans too, Humans are extremely vicious creatures, probably the most vicious actually. I like to think someday
We can live as one species, but I don't know, with all these bombs and shit its hard to say how We will end up.
Also people should be taught that stuff, if you just go around telling everyone that things in nature are beautiful
and peaceful you get a society of pin heads. People need to be taught to look at things from all angles, not just
one. Go on Ziblink, teach your ways ^^

And of course dolphins. They continually rape and they murder their children and even other species. But they look like they're smiling so they're just fine. We humans are big believers in beauty being goodness.
Humans are powerful not vicious. No cat has ever looked at another playing with a mouse and gone 'That's a horrible thing to do.' Only humans have the capacity to know of our own violence and to feel regret over it. If cats or rats or dogs were in our position I wonder how long we'd last. For they have no mercy.
I have a saying, 'Knowledge is constant, population is increasing.' We have a society of pinheads already. Humans are also great believers now in natural = good. There is an advert of our TVs right now for Nothing Naughty muesli bars. It involves a honey badger and some bees co-operating to make snacks for humans and includes the phrase 'Mother nature knows it takes time to make something good.' Everywhere you will see things being hawked at you as natural and nice. There's even 'natural immunity', or letting your children catch potentially lethal diseases because it will in some way make them stronger than well tested vaccinations. We are poking a sleeping bear. One day it will wake up and remind us of the misery our grandparents had to live through.

Im going to link you a video, I don't know if you are familiar with George Carlin or not, but He has a pretty
funny rant about how We Humans like to use language to disguise the harshness of whats really going on. What
you said made Me think about this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o25I2fzFGoY
Nature can kick Our asses anytime it wants too, just look at storms, like a tornado, it can blow down an important
building of Ours is just seconds. Sometimes We Humans need a good reality check, no one should drown in Their
Own bullshit, its not healthy.

I have heard that segment several times and I disagree with it. When we want to we humans can ignore harshness. Rape? Suicide? Let's just ignore those. While we can make perfectly nice words drip with vileness. ('urban' is now a codeword for 'black').
One of the best example to me is 'gay' and 'hero'. These were positive words adopted by the homosexual community in an attempt to harness the goodness of them. In the case of hero we simply ignored them until they stopped using it. It was something we didn't like so we just painted over it in our minds. 'Gay' has become an insult and a joke. Our hatred easily overpowered the initial good. Euphemisms arise when we have an agenda. Indeed 'shell shock' was renamed because people didn't take it seriously enough. It was a shock, you got over it. 'Battle fatigue' sounded more serious, it was a wearing out, a breaking down. Now we have PTSD (We shortened it!) which was constructed by psychologists who wanted an accurate name, it doesn't just arise from war but from things like abuse.
What scares me is that we are so good at destroying nature. This month a volcano erupted, it could have, in an instant eliminated the pink iguana, by luck it didn't. For most species nature can crush them in an instant and all they do is survive. Nature can hurt individuals, even cities. But humanity as a whole... we drive hundreds of species extinct a month but even a global plague and nuclear war wouldn't get us. Indeed from what we've seen in history it would only make us breed faster. A lot can be said about the awesome abilities of animals, the raw power of nature and the teeming multitudes of microbes, but we humans rule this world. Nothing can challenge us, if we fall it will be by our own hands. (And that, that would be rather easy.)

I like George Carlin though, He is pretty damn funny lol.
Your right about the word gay, it seems like it is used more as an insult now, it use to mean happy
years ago. I always thought that gay people took that word just because it meant happy, they
wanted to show people that they were happy I guess. This is what I would wonder about anyway.
I wonder though, Humans are technically part of nature, so when you think about it, sense We are
driving some species to go extinct, wouldn't that just be nature doing it??

Carly does some good stuff. His notes on dogs are not to be taken lightly.
That is the way of words. Cretin and idiot were once medical terms. Then we moved onto retarded (French, 'to be slowed down') and handicapped (English, 'to experience a burden') which became insults. Then spastic (To suffer twitches). and even special. Disabled itself hasn't fallen yet, but give it time.
Also, want to know something interesting? Awful and awesome once meant the same thing, as did terrific and terrifying. Artificial was a compliment, sharing the root word with artful. Words twist in odd ways.
That's the thing isn't it? On the one hand if everything is nature then the word has no meaning, there must be a line somewhere. On the other hand we are more a part of nature then we like to admit. Species go extinct naturally and even the exuberant squirrel obeys the iron population law which states that, even if everything else were stable, their population must cycle up and down, and possibly go to zero out of plain bad luck. (Unlikely, but possible!) Viewing ourselves as part of the whole is a difficult thing to do, it removes our specialness, even if that specialness is of the terrible kind. It is like being a nature atheist (Natheist?) and many dismiss the position out of sheer horror of it.
That is the way of words. Cretin and idiot were once medical terms. Then we moved onto retarded (French, 'to be slowed down') and handicapped (English, 'to experience a burden') which became insults. Then spastic (To suffer twitches). and even special. Disabled itself hasn't fallen yet, but give it time.
Also, want to know something interesting? Awful and awesome once meant the same thing, as did terrific and terrifying. Artificial was a compliment, sharing the root word with artful. Words twist in odd ways.
That's the thing isn't it? On the one hand if everything is nature then the word has no meaning, there must be a line somewhere. On the other hand we are more a part of nature then we like to admit. Species go extinct naturally and even the exuberant squirrel obeys the iron population law which states that, even if everything else were stable, their population must cycle up and down, and possibly go to zero out of plain bad luck.

Hm thats interesting, I just cant see the words terrifying and terrific going together, it just
doesn't sound right, but I have never known it that way, so of course its hard to imagine.
That's another thing too, Our language that We use is pretty old too, theres a lot of words
that We use that really doesn't have much meaning to them. Also theres a lot of things that
We say that really doesn't make much sense either. Like when they make a new law and
someone says "that's bullshit", it has nothing to do with shit from a bull lol. Its like We really
don't listen to what We are saying.
Yeah the Human Ego that We have is pretty amazing, We all think We Our so special and
We like to pretend that the Planet Earth and everything in the Universe was made just for Us.
I mean its possible it was, but the Universe is unimaginably huge, the Human Mind cant even
grasp the true size of the Cosmos. So I really doubt We are alone.
Something funny I like to tell people is that if you ever want to know if there is other life out
there, just look at Our Own Planet, theres Squirrels, Deer, Birds, Sloths, Dolphins and lots
more. Those are other life forms lol.

It's amazing, diffuse, confuse, effuse, refuse, refund and fund itself. all come from the same Latin word meaning to flow or pour. (CONfusion is a blocking or going against the flow - of thought. DIfuse means a flow that has spread out. EFfuse is something that makes a flow (Effusive is good, effluent bad.) and so on.) When you take a look at words and how they've split and changed and moved it's a story in itself.
That's metaphor, bull shit is useless and unpleasant, like (we assume) the law. What is interesting is that our bodies shape our language. You wake up, you don't wake down. Across ALL, and I do mean ALL human cultures up is good, or more while down is bad or less. (Calm down, kick up a fuss...) Nearly all cultures refer to bad stuff as shitty in some form. (Piss is less used, possibly because it's more pleasant.) Again a lot makes sense when you think about it a little. Sometimes of course the meaning gets away on you (the origin of 'piece of cake\cakewalk is... well racist.) Language isn't just words but *culture* and in some ways it is humanity itself.
I would not be surprised if we were alone, the universe is big, but it's also harsh. The only argument I've heard for life so far is 'Look at the big numbers! LOOK AT THEM!' which seems to me to be a version of the creationist 'Life is so unlikely' argument. What gets me is our conviction that our personal morals and beliefs are so correct. Here's a man arguing that 1x1=2: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/p.....-10502365.html We are right and everyone else is wrong and it;s obvious they're both wrong and hateful.
Hah, squirrels? Squirrels are almost human. When people ask me if animals have emotions I ask if there's any reason they wouldn't while we do; Occam's razor says they do. But octopi; they don't feel pain or starvation, they have minor brains in their legs and can squeeze their bodies like putty. They are aliens. (But lor I hope aliens aren't like dolphins, vicious, evil dolphins.)

It does make you wonder, I mean We are just use to what We see on Earth, there could
be other Life out there that We would not even recognize as life. I mean if you never saw
a tree in your life and then came to a Planet of nothing but trees, would you be able to tell
it was alive?? You would most likely have to study it in order to find out.
Something else that makes Me wonder is Our Own bodies. Think about it, are We really in
control of what Our bodies do?? I mean sure We can walk when We want too and talk when
We want too, but what Im talking about is the stuff you cant control, like hair growth. I get
tired of shaving My beard all the time, if I could I would just stop the hair from growing, but
I cant. No matter how hard We try We cant stop Our bodies from growing facial hair..... Unless
you use some kind of drug or something, but Im not talking about that. Im just talking about
how there are certain things that happens to Our bodies that We have no control over. Our
bodies are just made up of so many different things working together, it really is just amazing
and mind blowing when you think about it.
Also not to change the subject or anything, but I am just wondering can you see My new
submissions, or are you still having trouble with your computer?? The reason why I asked
is because I posted a new submission with Fred, and I know you would like it ^^
