tcpipThis Sunday evening sensible people in Melbourne will be attending the most fabulous Gamers movie; 7pm at The Spanish Club. Check out the distrubing The Beef Jerky Scene, The Comforter of Shame and the classic children's song... I Love Dick. There's even a possibility that the director will be attending our Sunday afternoon AD&D Norman Britian and GURPS Australian Noir games prior to the screening.
Speaking of movies Prosper Australia wants to do a documentary on the effects of taxation rather than site rental for public financing. We're looking at putting up $10 000 to a young aspiring director (uni students should like this one). (Feel free to share this news around).
To go along with our rats, we now have a bunny!. It's named Astaroth, a delightfully inappropriate name for such a harmless creature and partially in reference to a famous 1991 study of usenet groups which should alt.devilbunnies to be the exact median group in popularity.
Why peaceniks hate Israel (especially Jewish peaceniks who live in Israel); a couple of military hostages are taken and the response? Kill dozens of civilians.
EDIT: OK, I'm struck by an animal weirdness magnet
On the way to gaming tonight![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caseopaya spotted a baby ringtail possum which we promptly rescued from a stalking cat and brought home after designing characters for our next mini-campaign, In Nomine. After feeding the possum, I walked into the bathroom to discover the rats had managed to sneak in - and had rather conclusively killed the rabbit.
EDIT 2
Possum successfully delivered to Lort Smith; they'll take care of it and pass it on to a sanctuary. We decided to engage in a second summong whilst visiting a pet store in town; the new Astaroth!. This one is staying behind a firmly closed door in the bedroom; unless the rats have the ability to teleport (which I wouldn't put past them) this li'll fella should reach a riper age!

It's also well behind a very secure door!

Date: 2006-07-15 12:23 am (UTC)I didn't think domesticated rats did that sort of thing.
The wondrous power of instinct :/

Date: 2006-07-15 12:26 am (UTC)I think they know they've done something wrong, but they're also a bit confused over what it was exactly.

Date: 2006-07-16 11:10 pm (UTC)Rats can be very territorial and protective of their colony.
There is a vague possibility that the rabbit died of a natural cause of some kind because there certainly wasn't any sign of struggle.
I consider it more likely however that one or both of the rodents went in for a quick clean kill.
