Shrews are venomous. They’re called "pointy mice" in German, is that enough?

One cannot ask too much of life, lest one end up disappointed. This is more than acceptable.

Finding and enjoying a really nice stick is one of the best things about being a great ape.

The only venomous mammals are the platypus and some random shrew. One of those is kind of like a mouse.

Edit: should have refreshed...

Platypuses aren't mammals.

Is this like a reference to something or something? Like, am I missing something? I can't find any references that say it's not a mammal.

Yeah. Whilst a thousand times YAY for the parents protecting their kid with their spiny arses.

I still have respect for the leopard getting painfully poked in the face repeatedly, but still trying, still circling, still hustling.

Lets hope he finds a nice easy soft meal somewhere later.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Me and my friend once found a stick at our usual smoke spot in the woods near his house, that looked like a dildo combined with a gun but the handle bit of the gun was like at 45 degrees instead of 90 like a dawn off Winchester or something. We had a lot of fun with the dildo gun, including but not limited to shooting each other with it; disarming each other in the most creative ways possible; seeing how many times you could spin it in the air and catch it; and doing slow motion Matrix style moves with it vs. our opponents finger guns/invisible shotgun. A great stick, and we were sad to see it disappear from the spot.

Something that no one tells you about kids is that they will steal all of your best walking sticks.

That stick is taller than you are, by a lot. My joints need the support. Go pick on someone your own size. :negative:

Probably a female leopard, as they're active through the morning and at sunset while male leopards are generally only awake at night :eng101:

He was seriously disabled and likely used the sticks daily. The collection was meant to serve him in the afterlife.

A few years ago, Penny Dreadful was being filmed near where I lived, so one day, when I was out walking the dog, I passed the filming location with all the props trailers etc.
One of the trailers was about 50% walking sticks, just packed with so many amazing walking sticks.
Unfortunately there was a props guy on guard, so I couldn't get a closer look :(
