This is a link to a camera feed set on a watering hole in a wildlife preserve in South Africa. No one is thirsty right now, but my sister saw a group of monkeys playing in the water earlier this afternoon and someone else saw some yaks.
I think it's kinda cool.

I'm so tired I originally thought your post was entitled "dentata"
I thought quadroon was a word as well.

It's just a user ID. The question is not about your User ID, but about you, the person behind that user ID. |

No.
Yes.
Well, maybe they can. Sometimes.
But only under certain conditions.

This is one of those things where you stare at it for 20 seconds looking for animals and then a screaming "Exorcist" face pops out, right? Nice try. |

Ah, thanks. I looked it up on wiki. Famous octoroons include Peter Ustinov.

Good article. He has my proxy. It is interesting to me that this movement came out of the Richards idiocy. |

Because he's incapable of changing his mind? Some would argue that his joining in with the abandonment of the word, given his history with it, speaks volumes.

I question the reasonableness of your request, given your willingness to allow your listening to bad Canadian top 40 radio to cause you to hate others.
Bad music victim, hate thyself, or learn to love all (except bad Canadian top 40 radio).

Throw in some Black Butte Porter from Deschutes, if you can find it out there.

Or just drink six or seven gin and tonics and black out.
